I'm Sorry You Feel That Way

The decision to shoot in black and white mirrors the unadorned nature of the set. There is no elaborate intro or theatrical lighting, just an irritated man constructing defensive arguments for terrible ideas. Burr operates at peak efficiency here, deliberately leading his audience into tense premises (like a defense of predictably racist older celebrities or a routine from the perspective of a suicide jumper) just to see if he can talk them down.

Filmed at the Tabernacle in Atlanta in 2014, the eighty-minute Netflix release captures the comic as he transitions from a perpetually annoyed bachelor to a married man. The material reflects that shift, balancing domestic grievances like the absurdity of being kicked out of bed with a detailed hypothetical about fending off a home invasion. He also addresses his ongoing struggle to eat vegetarian twice a week, complaining that “something has to die every day in order for me to live.” Critics at the time praised the stripped-down production, noting that his hostile stage persona remained perfectly intact even as his personal life quieted down.
