Too real to be comedy

Warning: Spoilers
I had a hard time with this film. The subject matter and the characters were so real to life. I felt like I knew every one of the awful humans portrayed. The snapping girlfriend, the pretentious gen Z boss, the the classroom full of brittle spirited trigger warning parents. Seeing Bill's character get destroyed by the absolute worst of society was actually infirating and depressing to watch. I really wanted his character to push back much harder than he ended up doing. I wanted him to win. The message by the end was to keep your mouth shut and don't make waves if you can avoid it... but I love Bill Burr because he DOES make waves.

TLDR, way too close to reality to be funny.
