What's funny about a succesful man with a wife and career?
>>
>>68618038
the sad people use jokes to prevent suicide.

we use drugs too.
>>
>>68618038
because sadism is one of the most reliable ways of making someone laugh - and bitterness and depression excuse the sadism.

Humour is a coping mechnaism

Is he still dating that annoying nigger cunt?
>>
>>68618038
It's a coping mechanism. If we didn't have the ability to laugh for many life would seem so pointless and unbearable you just wouldn't do anything.

Misery loves comedy.

Just look at Louis and now Billy Boy. They lose their edge once they become successful and happy.
Even sweater boy cutie Jim Norton went mellow once he lost his fat self-hating self.

>>68618038
I was the last person that I see a friend alive and he asked me for help but I didn't understand him and I thought he was just drunk.
I always laugh about that (and about my dead sister) because it'll make me crazy if I take it seriously.

I have other traumas that I joke about it too, but the trust is that I am a sad person.

Comedians are egomaniacs that strive for attention, and are usually very ashamed by that fact.
The nature of performing late night at clubs also means they're around alcohol a lot/ cheap pussy so that wears down metal fortitude over time.
Like even bill can be an insufferable cunt when it comes to retarded shit, like having to open for a "lesser" comic or having his name spelt in tiny letters on a club marquis, it's fucking stupid.
It's a bit sad actually, when the praise from drunk fucks gets to their head and they feel they're genius astronauts curing cancer or something.
Like rich vos is a prime example of this: dumb as a fucking brick, moderate success but not nearly what you'd think for his age, yet demands anyone doing comedy for less time than him to treat him like he's the fucking godfather.
Comedians are typically shit people, must remember this.

Maybe some hormones will make you feel better. If you decide to do make sure you post your pics on /tv/ in 2 years.
>>
>>68619657
fuck off, you don't know any comedians. Unless you're really good it can be a very tough and stressful way to live
>>
>>68619980

A lot of people do, that's why celebrity gossip is so big. Everyone wants to know how the happy people live.
>>
>>68619739
Man, I love old photos like this, where the color is weird and everything's grainy and out of focus, and there's flaws and damage because the film itself got damaged. We're never gonna have photos like that again.

Im going tonight to see Billy Red Face at the Sprint Center.

He's playing fucking basketball arenas now. It isn't sold out but pretty impresive.

$25 gets you in the doors which isn't bad. Hope he's funny.
>>
>>68618038
This is his wife. He has no kids.
I honestly think Bill Burr is redpilled but married this black guy and acts liberal because you have to be liberal to get work in Hollyjew. That would make anyone despressed.
>>
>>68620331

yeah we will, just run your digital pics through a couple photoshop filters and get a 500 dollar printer. problem solved.

It really isn't. It's key demographic is people who haven't seen every episode of every cartoon about American families already. That means only very young kids. But it decided to go blue and add cursing which shuts off part of it's audience just for the sake of being edgy. The show is unoriginal and blocks off the only demographic that unoriginal shows work on

Fuck off faggot, I live in New York City ad all I know are comedian/actors/ performers. And yeah it's a stressful lfr but no one forces some prick into comedy, you ducking self entitled mook. The fuck outta here with your pissy self-obsessed vagina.

Personally I thought it was great but the best of the 5 episodes were when it was bittersweet insead of just bitter. Such a depressing show

plausible
i can't think of a single comedian i like that hates his or her life. they're all doing spectacularly, so far as public life is concerned.
>>
>>68618038
because we suffer from depression and we try to channel our feelings into comedy because we hope that being famous and having money and making people laugh might potentially cure our depression

It's the same reason why most women are shit comedians. If you don't have inner conflict you can't connect with other human beings on a personal level.

What about Norm MacDonald? He seems like a norm-al guy, and probably gets as much fried chicken as he wants.

The only thing that might bring down his day is having to be around his Nazi-loving sidekick, Adam Egret.
