@HaleysTusk @HaleyReinhart That's our 11 year old boy! Amazing performance.

Quote:You’ve got your new series F is for Family slated for 2015 on Netflix, and have said it’s a show you’ve always wanted to do. Why is that?

'Cause I always wanted to be able to do a TV show where I could just do whatever I want and no one was worried about advertising or complaints or anything like that. There’s no advertising on Netflix and it’s an animated show, so you know in animation you can get away with murder. It’s going to be so much fun - it already is.

The Raider




The Actress/ Comedienne

Quote:"(F is for Family) comes from me telling stories of my childhood. The further I got into my standup career, the less people grew up with those dads who were around in the 1960s and 1970s. People started to groan a little bit on some of the stories. When the time-out generation and play-date kids were becoming college-age, the groans started coming. So just out of necessity, I was like, 'How do I get these stories out?' One day I was walking my dog and it hit me. 'What if I just animated them? Nobody gets offended at a cartoon. You could really ramp it up and keep an element of truth to it.'

"It started out that they were just going to be vignettes on my website. I was going to go out-of-pocket just to make people laugh.

"(The Netflix series) is about my overall sensibility on the time I grew up. The stuff that I liked, the stuff that was crazy. Some of the sad stuff that happens when you're a kid. Like back then, there weren't play-dates. Kids were just roaming around. You could be with kids your age having a great time, and all of a sudden bigger kids came along, and if they were in a mood, they'd just start throwing rocks at you and beating you up. It was just part of your day. And all of that has gone away, for better or for worse, depending on who you talk to."

Quote:Nah, it's nothing like that. Through the years of doing standup there are some things you'd say to other comedians, usually that only other comedians would laugh at. It became sort of a challenge, how can I get other people to laugh at this stuff?

So I thought, why don’t I just animate these things and ramp it up? Just have fun with this animation amalgam of my childhood experiences. It’s about a bunch of little kids in the ‘70s, basically about the way things were back then.

Quote:It's all recorded. I probably have a couple of punchup sessions. Working on animation, for the first season the biggest challenge has been literally figuring out what it should look like. You do the joke, then look at the facial expressions. Make it bigger here, smaller there.

Quote:“It’s based on childhood stories from when I was growing up in the ’70s,” he says. “It’s based on my personal stories.”

In the six-episode series, Burr will voice the father.

“He’s an amalgam of my dad and several other dads,” Burr says. “Some of the stuff he does in the show, like smoking, are things my dad didn’t do.”

The show also is based on Burr’s stand-up.

“I kept telling my childhood on stage,” he says. “The only people who laughed were comedians or twisted people in the crowd.

“People weren’t sure if they could laugh at these stories. I thought, ‘What if we animated these?’

“These are not real people, but they’re still real stories,” he says. “Now that they’re animated, everybody can laugh.”
