Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill

There were a few chuckles, but this fell woefully flat.

absolute shit show other than a few chuckles. this has almost nothing to do with bill burr

Just give me more Bill Burr, damnit

Its a mixed bag. Burr and Kirson are great. I think Edwards material is funnier than his delivery. I didn't like any of Tolev's jokes but there was something about her gross goblin personality I think might be funny in something written by someone else. Wolf is not at her best but I still like her. I like Bartnik and Carr outside this but both felt real flat. I feel like its easy to be cynical about the comedy jam at the end, but its just performers and the audience having a good time.

To be clear, this is not a Bill Burr special, but even his segment is not great - and it's still the best part of the whole thing. Wolf, Kirson & Bartnick are okay, the rest ranges from really bad (Jimmy Carr talking about One Direction is D-tier material from 2013) to some of the worst stand up I've ever seen (Steph Tolev and the guy singing about titty fucking ass cracks).

Burr stands out with his wit and delivery, Carr does his edgy shtick moderately well and Kirson's a comparative revelation, a total breath of fresh air with impeccable and unique delivery; Tolev can be a bit overbearing but certainly has her moments, and Bartnick is agreeable. Conversely, Wolf and Edwards are largely unfunny, Ross and Attell's roasting session seems like low-hanging fruit, Meyers's musical comedy bit is average and Chieng does a puzzling, ill-advised, off-pitch Katy Perry cover.

Steph Tolev; you're a disgusting person. Whoever thinks you're funny is garbage.
