History YMMV / BillBurr

* HeReallyCanAct: His stage performance tends to be more storytelling based and doesn't do extended personas of other characters. Thus it becomes quite a surprise when he shows up in movies and TV shows and demonstrates himself to be quite a good actor. His second season appearance in ''Series/TheMandalorian'' was lauded as one of the best episodes with incredible rapport with Creator/PedroPascal.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jMhoGUiIkk Philadelphia incident.]] For ''twelve minutes'' he roasted the '''ENTIRE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA''' in various [[ClusterFBomb obscene]] and violent threatening ways, after they [[BerserkButton booed the previous comics]]. By the end, he got a [[RefugeInAudacity standing ovation.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Bill's wish that the Philadelphia Eagles will never win a Super Bowl was broken after the 2017 season. Against his beloved New England Patriots, no less!
** His old bit on how much he hated Star Wars becomes hilarious after he was cast in Series/TheMandalorian. Even better [[LampshadeHanging was the fact that the director wanted him for the part specifically BECAUSE Burr had made fun of Star Wars.]]
*** And then he went and [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct blew everyone away in the time he was given]].

* RetroactiveRecognition: Rewatch ''Series/ChappellesShow'' and you'll spot Bill in a few scenes.

* ValuesDissonance: Creator example: Bill explains after his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijMRSwxxPrM "Downtown Six"]] joke that it doesn't go over nearly as well in cities that don't have a subway system, since audiences there don't really get that interfering with violent situations on a subway car is an ''extremely'' bad idea.

* RefugeInAudacity: In 2006 he did a Philadelphia performance where he spends his entire set ripping into the audience and the city for mistreating the previous comics by booing them, complete with a countdown of how much time is left until the end of his act. Anyone familiar with the mechanics of stand up comedy know that dealing with a ToughRoom is extremely difficult, and the previous comics just ended their set early and walked off. Burr used that anger and stayed on stage so long weathering all the boo's that by the end there was a portion of the crowd cheering him on and gave him a standing ovation. In some circles it's considered [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments one of the greatest moments in stand up comedy]].
