Fuck that sell out hypocrite

Burr received criticism in September 2025 for accepting a gig at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, hosted by the Saudi government in Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Watch condemned the Festival as a "deliberate effort to whitewash the country's human rights record".[78] Burr defended his appearance in the Festival, calling it a "mind-blowing experience" and stated that "it felt right afterwards."[79] He stated that the Saudis were "just like" Americans,[80] though he did state that jokes about the Saudi royals and religion were banned.[81] Noting Burr's previous criticism of billionaires, Ben Schwartz of The Nation asked, "How can Burr ever get mad about billionaires here after insisting that the Saudi royal family over there is 'just like us'?". He also mentioned that Burr had previously criticized singer Beyoncé for performing for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.[80]

He's an asshole, not a saint.

This is on brand. If you thought otherwise, poor Pikachu got shocked.

Yeah, he's not a SJW or anything. He's just a very funny dickhead who calls things like he sees them. And he doesn't care about anything other than making money.

Like most people. Unfortunately.

Sure, but does that invalidate the point?

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 5 points 14 hours ago

By actively supporting those who also commit atrocities, for a pay cheque, when he's already wealthy? It doesn't invalidate the point, no, but it certainly adds a degree of illegitimacy to his proselytising by way of hypocrisy.

There are many who have made similar statements, without backing human rights abusing regimes. People will defend him because they like him, because he's made them laugh. That's a rather shallow reason to defend him though, don't you think?

Why spread the words of a rich asshole when hundreds have said the same thing before him? We can use their words instead of this arsehole's.
