One of my absolute favorite Bill Burr bits is the "What are you, a (homosexual slur)?" I think it really showcases just how much men struggle with macho stereotypes and highlights just how uncomfortable Burr personally is living up to those labels.

If he's coming across this way it is intentionally ironic.
