Bill Burr hurts the most.
Pete Davidson is disappointing as well.
His father died on 9/11 and he's up dancing for those responsible.
The thing about Burr is the vast majority of people just didn't bother to "hear the rest of the joke"
Like the joke he had about Beyonce performing for some dudes bday party in the middle east and the guy was like right up there with Saudi Princes and Burr denounces Beyonce for doing it....the punchline being he'd do the same shit as her.
His whole schtick with the billionaires was a bit. all the time he says this stuff and people decide to stop hitting record JUST before he says he'd do the same thing.
And all these comedians have the same song and dance with very few exceptions. They're ONLY pro freespeech when their jobs are on the line, when there's potential to lose money. Just like they came out and support kimmel and colbert yeah man all about Free Speech, against cancel culture, all that. BUT when there's an easy million dollars to be made? fuck free speech.
If the FCC or Trump came out and said "I'll give any comedian a couple million if they help me denounce Kimmel and Colbert" there'd be a line of them around the block waiting to take a swing.
If you've listened to his podcast at all lately, you'd know that the billionaire stuff is not a schtick. He has come very far left, though still has some both sides tendencies (probably trying not to alienate a chunk of his audience).
That said, I stopped listening when they announced this, and I emailed the podcast to let him know exactly why.
Yup. Fuck Bill Burr.
He took him self way down on my respect factor index. He’ll say some ballsy stuff online as soon as he’s out of Saudi air space. Trust me ya’ll. I called Thursday night Football moments before OT & was spot on the rest of the game. Although, Stevie Wonder could have probably called it too. Ok, bad example. But ya’ll, Nam sayin’?
I didn't catch anything about burr in the article?
hes a hypocrite, i think thats why people called him out, he made many comments in the past against billionaires, and other rich people, only to be BOUGHT off by MSB.
From another article:

unexpected benefits= more Money down the line for him, in future installments or events.
Future opportunities to sell out.
I can’t read it but David Cross said he’s performing there.
Bill has a chance to redeem himself, but only at the risk of a beheading.
A LOT of really notable comedians are. It's pretty gross and disappointing.
Maybe they were kidnapped & threatened on US soil? Some real Stockholm Syndrome shit perhaps? Anyone catch Burr blinking Morse Code?
