> [@Superdude](#): > > I love Bill Burr. But no discussion of him is complete without the very-NSFW [Philadelphia Incident](https://youtu.be/3jMhoGUiIkk). That is some of the most impressive comedy I’ve ever seen. Not many could pull that off. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > That is some of the most impressive comedy I’ve ever seen. Not many could pull that off. Holy shit. I had somehow never seen that before. What was the story behind that? That seems like it was all off-the-cuff, and I’m just crying here from laughter. ---

Yeah, that was pretty off the chain. The _sheer length_ of that rant, the vitriol, a hostile crowd…impressive! ---

Check out his bit on [Arnold Schwarzenegger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldIwEG9xQ-M). This is from one of his Netflix specials, I especially recommend “Let it Go” and “Why Do I Do This?”. ---

Some of his best bits are distilled here. I especially love his anti Steve Jobs rants. They are perfect. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc0E7tOjM58) ---

I like Burr, especially that B&W special. ---

I love the way he cracks Conan up in [this bit about Paula Deen and other disgraced celebrities](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BevNkLH-q8). ---

He’s pretty good. One of my favorite clips is [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGPC63DDHRM) where he’s talking with an audience member who’s soon getting married. It should’ve gone off the rails but he nails it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bill-burr/823610.md?page=2)
