Bill Burr’s upcoming animated Netflix series, F Is for Family, is taking a look at how crazy growing up in the 70s was. As you can guess, Burr had more than a little bit of personal experience in being raised in a sort of crazy household, which inspired parts of the show.

From these stories of Burr’s dad on Conan, you can see that F Is for Family  going to be a fun, no-holds-barred sort animated series.

As part of making the rounds to promote his new Netflix series F Is For Family, Bill Burr stopped by The Tonight Show and chatted with Jimmy Fallon while surrounded by a plethora of Christmas paraphernalia. 

Of course, Bill Burr couldn’t just let that slide on by and went on his signature hysterical rants. 

He also gave some very intriguing backstory as to how his animated series F Is For Family came about, which premieres this Fri. Dec. 18th on Netflix.

Hopefully, Jimmy makes good on his promise of having Bill back on the holidays.

Watch Full Trailer for Bill Burr’s “F is for Family”, a No Holds Barred Look Back at the Nuclear Family in 1973

The sitcoms of the 70s had much more censors to deal with that we do today. Thus, the more accurate portrayals of dysfunctional sitcom families that we get on television today really wouldn’t have happened back then.

That’s where Bill Burr’s animated Netflix series F is For Family comes in as an animated version of what a family of four at odds with each other in 1973 was like. From the looks of this trailer, Bill is going to show 1973 how it really was, no matter how misguided it may have been.

F is for Family starts streaming on Netflix on Dec. 18th.

The #NightlyShow premieres Monday night after @TheDailyShow! @larrywilmore welcomes Senator @corybooker, @TalibKweli, and @billburr.

— The Nightly Show (@nightlyshow) January 16, 2015

The premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is just on the other side of this weekend.

Mon. Jan. 19th at 11:30PM will see Wilmore take The Nightly Show desk for its inaugural spin as well as have pretty great inaugural line-up of guests. Comedian Bill Burr, Senator Cory Booker, and rapper Talib Kweli should make for a solid, varied half hour premiere. 

With that many guests, we’re guessing The Nightly Show will definitely be different than The Daily Show.

When Jerry Seinfeld was going to have Bill Burr on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, it was probably clear what car he was going to drive Bill around in the moment he thought of bringing Bill on as a guest.

So, Seinfeld drives Bill around LA in a classic muscle car, a Ford Mustang Boss 302, and they have coffee, talk about the quiet rage of Seinfeld, and smoke cigars in the daytime.

Watch all of that here in the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

(via TV Line)

While the label of being the next Louis C.K. has been put on Bill Burr from time to time, Burr has insisted that, as nice as that is, he’s not C.K. 

In the sense that he’s expanding from being one of the most beloved stand-ups currently working today to creating and starring in shows, Burr is certainly moving in the same direction that C.K. has and we have no doubt he’s going to be great at it.

He already has a pilot ordered by FX, Pariah, and now, Bill has just scored a series order from Netflix for an animated 70s family comedy he co-created with The Simpsons’ Mike Price that will be titled F Is For Family. Burr will also be voicing the head of the family along with a great cast of Laura Dern and Justin Long.

In case it isn’t clear, we love everything about this.

We don’t know about the rest of you, but are wishes have come true as Bill Burr is set to star in an upcoming FX comedy pilot, Pariah.

Coming from the minds behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, specifically, Dave and John Chernin along with Rob McElhenney set to direct, Pariah will center around Burr as a television personality that has a meltdown and then has to try to go through life as a normal person with experience only as a on-camera loudmouth.

So, we’re definitely hoping this goes to series as soon as possible.

The Just For Laughs brand has been one for the biggest comedy festivals in the world for quite some time. In their tenure of their festivals, so many of the big names you know and love nowadays performed on what was likely the biggest stage they’ve ever performed comedy on up until that point.

So, JFL thought it might be prudent to share some of their archives with the rest of us.

Thus, 500 hours of clips will be uploaded to a YouTube channel that’s being created with the help of Maker Studios, much of which hasn’t ever been seen outside of the festival. Clips will include performances from Dave Chappelle, Bill Hicks, Bill Burr, Louis CK, Mitch Hedberg, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, and way more.

When that starts, prepare for another thing to binge watch.
