Bill Burr brought out all the anti-woke jokes for the Grammys and apparently no one liked that.
According to FoxNews:
Bill Burr
caught some backlash on social media for jokes he made while presenting at the 2021 Grammys premiere ceremony.
The standup comedian was tapped by the Recording Academy to present some of the awards earlier in the night prior to the main broadcast. He took the stage to piano music to present a handful of awards to Latin artists and almost immediately began showcasing some of his notorious off-color humor.
“Was I the only one that wanted to kill himself during that piano solo? I bought a suit for this,” he joked. “I thought I was going to be on TV. I’m such a moron. I’m losing so much money.”
His distaste for classical music was ironic given that he was on stage to present a handful of music honors in the genre such as best choral performance, best classical instrument solo performance, best classical vocal album and best classical compendium. In addition, he was on hand to present awards in the categories for best Latin rock or alternative album, best regional Mexican music award and best tropical Latin album.
“The feminists are going nuts. Why is the cis-white male doing all this Latino stuff?” he joked in a mocking tone.
While presenting the award for best regional Mexican music, he mispronounced the name of the winner, Natalia Lafourcade.
“I can’t say the name. The Grammy goes to Natalia Lafourcade. I will accept on behalf of her. If I butchered her name, I’m sorry. Natalia, you won.”
Following his appearance, many took to Twitter to criticize the comedian for not taking his presenting duties seriously as well as taking him to task for some of his jokes.
