Bill Burr does not really punch down like this though.
I've watched the specials. Dave's comedy is now "I am black, I have trans friends, I understand oppression so I can bully anyone"
And it just isn't really funny most of the time you're uncomfortable and then at the end of his set when typically you'd expect Dave to wrap up with some moral or understanding he continues punching down.
Sorry but that's just him now we've seen it before. On the bottom you're empathetic, coming up you have words to share, he's loaded now and his richness shows. He is out of touch, ignorant and does not do enough to push in the other direction he fully let's people down and not once stands up for them just constantly joking about it with no clarity.
He's tone deaf and out of touch. Fuck him he ain't funny even my friends who don't share all my views to my level know overall he's just not as funny as he used to be.
Maybe you're right and he's just gotten rich and out of touch. But I think it's worth looking at his history a bit. He had millions thrown into his lap. However he saw the harm in his comedy and decided to throw away the check and abandon his career for years. It seems like it would take more to make that person rich and out of touch. Maybe I'm being too charitable. Recent years have radicalized some of my friends in different directions. He could have fallen victim to the same forces that turned my friends away from a well adjusted life.
