A lot of people did not like Burr's monologue
https://nypost.com/2020/10/11/bill-b...ter-firestorm/
Stand-up comic and former “Breaking Bad” actor Bill Burr has ignited a Twitter firestorm — for mocking everyone from white women to gays in his first “Saturday Night Live’’ monologue.
The Netflix star referred to white women as his “bitches” while claiming they had “somehow hijacked the woke movement.”
“The woke movement was supposed to be about people of color not getting opportunities. … Somehow, white women swung their Gucci-booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line,’’ said the creator of Netflix’s animated show “F is for Family” as he opened TV’s “SNL” on Saturday.
“I’ve never heard such complaining in my life from white women,” Burr said.
He made fun of gays, too — suggesting their struggle has been nothing like racial minorities’.
“Bill Burr is trash and has always been trash,” @emrazz, a k a feminist next door, seethed.
“Not because he doesn’t raise valid criticisms in some of his comedy, but because he has always leveraged his ability to point them out to the detriment of change and the benefit of himself, and he can f–k off into the sun for it.”
@AbbysDad3 wrote, “Jokes were in poor taste, not funny. As a gay man in an interracial relationship we were both offended and turned the channel. Who approved that monologue?”
The funnyman also came out swinging against COVID-19 scofflaws as he opened the show, joking, “Take out your weak cousin with asthma, I don’t care.
“There’s too many people … It stops you from reproducing,’’ Burr said.
@HoyaLikeThat shot back, “As ‘the weak cousin with asthma’, I found your monologue insensitive & appalling. You don’t know what it’s like to live w/this disease — especially in the age of COVID. It’s not a joke. It’s a scary reality for which I have to be vigilant every day. Show some class & sensitivity.”

Who gives a fuck? That isn’t news. Such a terrible time to be a comedian.

The monologue was hilarious. Carlin would probably be laughing his ass off if he were still around.

As usual, snowflake idiots on twitter completely missed the point of the jokes Burr was making.
I'm not claiming Burr was hilarious, but just because the subject of a joke can be broadly interpreted as applying to you, does not mean you are the specific target of the joke.
Love that sensitivity, though.

I thought he was pretty funny, but I've been a fan for years. It wasn't the best episode, but it was fine.

Bill Burr is a national treasure and after 20+ years of the spotlight should be immune from Twitter or any other social media softies.

I agree and comedy should push the lines and challenge minds.
It is a crime black history month is in Feb and not June like he said.
