He rose to notoriety as a regular on Dave Chappelle’s acclaimed sketch comedy show Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central in 2004.
Burr’s stand-up special, You People Are All the Same (2012), was the first to be released exclusively on Netflix. He portrayed Mark Mullins in the 2013 buddy police film The Heat. In 2014, Burr shot his fourth hour-long special, I’m Sorry You Feel That Way, in Atlanta’s Tabernacle Theater. Unlike most modern comedy specials, the film was shot in black and white.Burr played the lead role Frank Murphy in the Netflix series F Is for Family, which debuted on December 18, 2015. The show was Netflix’s first original animated series. Burr’s animated sitcom, which he created and co-wrote, was based on his stand-up routine and the insanity of political correctness. Season four of the series premiered on Netflix on June 12, 2020.
Burr and Michael Price co-write and executive produce the series. Burr’s fifth hour-long special, Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out, was released on Netflix on January 31, 2017. He appears in the third episode (“Bill Burr”) in the second season of HBO’s Crashing.His seventh stand-up special, Live at Red Rocks, debuted on July 12.
Burr has been dubbed a “comedian’s comedian” by watchers of the American stand-up comedy scene. Burr was described as “the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor” by Rolling Stone magazine. Burr frequently characterizes himself as “that loud guy in the bar” with “uninformed logic”. Burr told The Boston Globe, “I’m the ‘dude, bro’ guy.”
According to the Montreal Gazette, Burr is “a cynic and a contrarian who has never paid any heed to political correctness”. In 2013, the New York Times described Burr as “one of the funniest, most distinctive voices in the country for years”. His presentation often covers a wide range of topics, from his childhood to sex robots to how much he loves his dog. When he does bring up a cringeworthy subject, his manner allows him to anticipate and even play with the audience’s reaction. Burr will frequently stand stationary, casually leaning one arm against the mike stand, a cheeky grin on his face, behaving like the noisy man at a bar.
