    2hrs of the same tired “dur… Woke is dumb!” joke over and over? Hard pass.

    Also, cleaning a cut is woke now?

    I grew up in the 80s, I’m just ten years younger than Bill Burr, and I can’t get on board with this sort of plot at all.

    As if society passed these people by, and they’re just now discovering decades of social evolution.

    These characters haven’t watched the news, used social media, or seen a movie in 20 years? Come on.

      I’m hoping this trailer is deceptive to entice the right wing MAGA anti-woke retards to watch this, and then pull the rug under them to show them how toxic their beliefs are. This is 100% on track what ol’ Billy Baldface would do as a comedian.

        That would be on-brand(ish) for Burr

        He showed a trailer for the movie at his show last year. A subset of his fans were overly energised by these “tough dad” jokes

        The same subset of fans were a bit perplexed when Burr took some shots at the idiots with massive American flags on the back of their pickup trucks

        I wonder how much cognitive dissonance Burr’s fans suffer when they find out his wife is black

      Not a single time did anybody say “woke” in the trailer, yet somehow you inserted it in there and built up an entire narrative to argue against. I think this is the perfect example of a straw man.

      I love Bill and listen to his podcast religiously. That being said, the trailer didn’t do any favors to entice me to see this and I agree with your take. Looks kinda dumb but I’ll still give it a chance and hope for the best.
