In honor of Black Friday this year, the folks over at Team Coco uploaded a classic clip of Bill Burr appearing on the show around the holidays and dumping his feelings about the day after Thanksgiving. Burr has shared his thoughts on pretty much everything at this point, always leading to a fairly entertaining appearance on Conan. His most recent saw him share a lot about the Donald Trump victory in election 2016, something which apparently got him a lot of flack if you listen to his podcast.
But this isn’t about Trump, it’s about Black Friday. And to be honest, Burr is spot on:
Thanksgiving is my favorite because you get to eat in that type of thing.
I don’t like black Friday type of stuff.
Freaks me out.
Makes me sad for Americans, watching them get Trampled.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Why wouldn’t just admit you can’t afford it at regular prices.
He continues on, remarking that there is nothing in Walmart worth being trampled over. He tries to name a higher end store to take its place and make it worthwhile, but he can’t. There is truly nothing worth going to battle other shoppers over on Black Friday, but it isn’t like you can tell people that. Even people being killed or worse each year doesn’t keep people from declaring war over a pile of cheap blenders or DVD players.
Now it’s a different story if you’re just going to watch the chaos unfold and you take pleasure in the suffering of others. Don’t say that to too many people, though.
