I get what he's doing. from his perspective, it's like as long as the public (three dudes with a shitter account) is pearl-clutching over something I've said as a hyperbole, I'll keep banging this drum and upping the volume and I'll keep doing it in every special. problem one is, he's grown tone-deaf and can't connect to normal people no more.
problemo dos is, his standup is shit and has been for years. from the fucking faked raspy voice then the cigarette on stage because he totally can't make it without one, like dude you're so rebel! to the the faked "OMG I collapsed laughing at my own shit" and then audibly banging the mic so it accentuates the non-existing punch line every couple minutes, it's super annoying.
like CK jokes about equally deranged topics, but the craft is there and it's flawless. every movement, every breath, every stutter is in the service of delivery... billy removed-tits as well, can't agree with much of the stuff he's on about, since he portrays a super exaggerated persona, but the craft is flawless.
this dude better get off his lazy ass and start practicing in front of live audiences and start embracing the sucking and bombing if he ever wants to be considered great. only then can we start dissecting the "jokes".
the removed part is something he calls himself, wasn't my stab at him
