Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out

Now please if you will allow me, I will break down why this got an arbitrary score based on the jokes, japes, and jollies contained within.

Not as strong as Burr's other work, but a Burr special is still a magical thing.

many of these fruits are either low-hanging, overripe or regurgitated from elsewhere (inc. past specials!); he knows it, the crowd knows it, and at times it feels like a rescue mission. he should've honed this stuff to perfection by now, but instead it's super bloated as though he's straining to disguise its weakness. he does nail some performance/vocal stuff i've not seen him do before, and he's naturally a funny enough guy to stop it being a total misfire, but he can do better than this.

Not Burr's strongest but even his weak stuff is top ten material for comics working today.

One of his best.

Bill Burr is a train-wreck of a human being. He's also painfully unfunny in the most broish, tired way imaginable.

Watchable but weaker Burr set, without enough belly-jigglers to justify the runtime. There are laughs, particularly in the first half, but he rambles on too much here - not least in the last lengthy bit on a talking gorilla, where I have to admit I completely zoned out at one point.

If you can count the laugh-out-loud moments on one hand then you know something's lacking. There are good ideas and bits to be found herein, but the long premises don't seem very kind to Bill Burr. "Walk Your Way Out", at almost 80 minutes, is a tad plodding, not particularly exciting and overall merely chuckle-worthy. The attempts at edgier jokes are welcome but wane in comparison to the concentrated intelligence typically found in the raw material of comedians like Louis C.K. or George Carlin.

Not his best, but very decent.

For this, you definitely need to be in the mood for some In-your-face brutal observational comedy. Bill gives his typical loud mouth angry ramblings about everything and is proud to be the opposite of politically correct. This one takes a decidedly dark turn.

See the man live instead. He doles out all these jokes but it's mixed with even more acerbic wit about people in the crowd. Maybe Burr is getting to big for the style he does?

I dunno why I watched this really. I saw him live last year and it was almost the same as this special (obviously. I'm dumb). I feel like he's a guy you can only watch do the same jokes once cause it's just him ranting. The only thing that worked again for me was the gorilla bit because it wasn't a ranty opinion based thing. Burr is a guy suited for live show instead of specials I think because his off the cuff stuff is so funny. The fat bits are slog to get through cause it's so unoriginal.

As it goes with (most) comedians these days, this isn't quite as good as his podcast or radio appearances, but incoming fatherhood hasn't softened Burr's misanthropic tone, though the comedy does get tiresome towards the end in the extensive gorilla bit.

I think Bill Burr is a fantastic comedic mind, but his stand up has never really done it for me. This one is probably the weakest stand up I've seen of his. It's still Bill though, so you could do a lot worse.

Funny, but I don't think it has a stand-out bit I could laugh at just thinking about like his other specials have.

Bill tries to adapt his podcast material to stand-up and it doesn't entirely work
