Russell Brand has made some comments about Bill Burr’s appearance on *The View*, and already the furore is heating up. The British comedian-commentator found Burr’s pitiful plea for “magnanimity and sanguinity” reasonable, but then he mocked the venue itself, referring to the daytime talk show as a “crucible of hysteria” and “a cavern of estrogenic rage.”

Burr is, of course, no stranger to making enemies with his outspoken brand of comedy; he waded into what might be considered near-certain hostility for conservative or even centrist voices. Thus, Brand’s tweet sparked a war among supporters, some of whom are praising Burr for being sufficiently brave, while others, in classic brand fashion, are pointing the finger and accusing him of selling out.
Said one supporter, Ann Morgan, in defense of Bill Burr, “Well, he may not enjoy trying to knock sense into people’s heads. But it is his duty, and he will do it!”
But others weren’t having it. Paul A. Szypula replied, “Bill Burr is completely captured by the liberalism of his far-left wife. It’s turned him into a poor comic and a worse American.”
The backlash continued. Dan Haymore chimed in, “I think it would be more accurate to say that Bill’s black wife has decided he’s woke and he is powerless to resist her.”
Meanwhile, some fans targeted the Talk Show *The View*. Stormtrooper7 asked directly, “How that show stays on the air is the world’s greatest mystery.”
Burr’s appearance served to further fuel the debate on comedians walking the minefield of politics. Jessica Lorraine joined the lamentation: “People stop seeing each other as humans. So sad.”
And somehow, one could hardly miss Brand’s own peculiar fashion choice in leopard print. Elite Floor teased, “Dude you’re wearing leopard print and a high pony.”
Such deep divisions have formed; however, one thing is certain-Burr’s brief jaunt into daytime television is now being talked about everywhere. Was it a bold stand for reason, or merely a misguided step in an increasingly polarized stand-up arena? Only time will tell.
