This is his pure, on his feet ability to be a boss standup.
Not saying CK wouldn't be doing the same shit, i'd say he could work just as great... however, i feel Louie might feel more comfortable going slightly into dicks or some shit to make that work.
Burr and CK have both acted, we're all more familiar with Louie of course, Bill was pretty good in Breaking Bad.
Burrs new animated show comes out later, and we all know Louis is great
burrs most recent special
it's ok... but that's cuz you heard all this material from his podcast and when he's on Rogan.

This is a difficult decision for this early in the morning!
Love both comedians and I've seen their standups live multiple times each. I'd say Bill Burr is currently "hotter" but CK was literally everywhere for awhile there.
Going with Burr. But only by the slimmest of margins.

Louis CK's comedy is Melancholy. It's awkward and depressing but in a funny way. Bill Burr is an angry, angry man who vents frustration in very funny ways. I don't see how you can really compare the two.
It would be like comparing Steven Wright to Eddie Murphy.

I got to see Bill Burr live in the summer and he was fantastic. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. His bit on Bruce Jenner was absolutely priceless (better than the modified version he later did on talk shows). Having said that, I still give the edge to Louis CK. He just strikes me as a better comedic writer overall. Plus, Burr is kind of known for improvising reactions to audience comments and I hate that stuff. Give me scripted and rehearsed shtick over potentially awkward and uncomfortable freestyling any day.

I voted CK, but it's very, very close. CK's bit "the saddest handjob in America" is outrageous. But so is Bill Burr swearing at a bunch of assholes in Philadelphia for heckling the comedian before him, and counting down the minutes while he does it.
"Seven fucking minutes. Seven fucking minutes left. And I'm doing every fucking one of them!"
Jim Jeffries is up there too. In small doses, though. And never with a female present.

Lol, that Burr video was great, he went on a serious fucking rail. "You guys were here, go fuck yourselves".
Seriously, how the fuck do you have a comedian poll with only 2 comedians?
No mention of Stanhope, Joey Diaz, Hannibal Buress, Tom Segura, Lewis Black, etc etc. I mean fuk.

I never knew about that Burr rant, makes so much sense that is was a Philly crowd. Worst fans ever and they win the award every year
And holy fuck that was hilarious, so much shit talking about Philly.

Jeffries is great, but I feel like he's still a half a notch below them career wise right now. Two more solid specials worth of work and he's on par I'd say.

I think CK and Burr are edgy and innovative enough and similar enough in career and body of work to compare. Stanhope is close but with his own pretty different approach, Buress hasn't been around long enough yet, Black is very apples to oranges.

I've never heard of Segura. If I mentioned CK, Jefferies, Burr, Buress, Stanhope or a lot of other comedians, most of my friends and family wouldnt know who the fuck im talking about. If its not a kings of comedy, Red necks, Kevin hart, Inglesias, puppet man ect. most look confused and think im talking about some unknown person
