I saw this on YouTube and thought that you all might enjoy it as much as I did. It's something we all can probably relate to. Really funny. Be aware of the bad language.
Would anyone else like to share a comedy thing pertaining to theme parks?

Bill Burr is hit or miss for me. Sometimes he has something to say and crushes, other times he just rants.
I shared Ryan Sickler's bit on riding Tatsu while on edibles a while back.
Matteo Lane has some material about Six Flags Great Adventure in his recent hour which is great.
It's kind of weird that he pretends he doesn't get Star Wars, seeing as how he was in The Mandalorian. Meh, I'm completely indifferent about him.

Bill Burr was really good in his one or two episodes of The Mandalorian. It showed off his acting abilities well. I kind of wish he would act more.
I also found the Star Wars portion of his skit kind of weird. I thought for sure he was going to mention his part in The Mandalorian as a punchline or something. I get his schtick though. He's saying he doesn't care about nerdy things like us nerds do. He's saying he is too manly and serious to care about such childish things. It may be an act, maybe not. But either way, it's funny.

I dunno, he seemed like he was playing himself in The Mandalorian, only without the F-bombs.

I mean, he kinda plays himself in everything he's been in. He wasn't great in Mandalorian, but neither was anyone else, even the good actors. It's weird, the whole franchise seems to turn solid actors into amateurs, and it obviously isn't just Lucas that's responsible.
His stand up kills me, and this bit was no different. Reminded me of my first trip to Disney in '79; my family still jokes about it to this day...the heat, the lines, the people. Accurate.
He's a national treasure. He's Brock ****ing Sampson.

Brian Simpson was on 2 Bears, 1 Cave and they spent the beginning of the show talking about roller coasters.
He had a TV show where he rode coasters all over the world. And he says in the podcast that he knows "so many stupid facts" about roller coasters.
One good thing about listening to this clip of the podcast is that it now seems likely that hydraulic coasters such as Dragster can indeed be set up to roll back. Not saying this proves it, as I'm sure one of you will prove me wrong. I never saw his show, but it seems highly suspect that TTD just so happened to get 3 rollbacks in a row when it was convenient to filming a show.
He did, and he probably does know a lot of stupid facts about roller coasters. But I wouldn't put him in the category of knowing what an enthusiast knows. Cause I am sure most of his "facts" were told to him by a PA, 10 minutes before cameras were rolling.
Thats the annoying part about those type of shows. Their research is quick and minimal, and usually done by rando Production staff with no subject matter expert consulted.
