Bill Burr reminds me of Jimmy’s “Regular Joe” character.

“Eh, what do I know? I’m justa no-nonsense, blue collah Bawston guy (who happens to live in Los Angeles) who like his spoarts, old cahs, and other regulah guy things. I’ll tell you what though, I’m notta fan of these gold diggin’ hoars. How bout’ you go out and get a jawb, try footin’ the bill and paying your own way for a change, and don’t even get me started on these crooked bankers. If you ask me, they aren’t being entirely forthright with us, in fact, I have reason to believe that they‘re completely dishonest and self serving. It’s highway robbery if you ask me. I prefer actually workin’ for a livin’, earning my keep, but eh, that’s just me. It’s not easy being a tough-as-nails, nose-to-the-grindstone straight shooter with the balls to tell it like it is, but eh, someone’s gotta do it. Just my two cents.”

All of Jim's characters are similar to his friends

"I'm 52 years young..."

I don't disagree, but I'm scratching my head thinking about who's such a cornball to have Chip and Edgar based on him/her.

Are we all pretending opies not chip?

I always thought Chip was created from the fans that try to talk to Jim and try to "keep up". Ultimately being douches.

Chip is a mix of pat from moonachie and opie.

Good characters are a sliver of an actual person, usually.

but...regular joe doesn't have "the balls tell it like it is." He just wants his container uh coffee and his lunch pail. That's pretty much the crux of the whole character.

Not saying Jimmy "stole" it but Colin used to basically do Jimmy's "regular joe" on Weeekend Update.

Comedians really hurt themselves with those yearly 1 hour specials and accusing each other of stealing all the time eh?

So really what you are saying is that Jimmy's "regular joe" character reminds you of Bill Burr. He's rippin Bill off, Hoo Hoo...

Regular joe is any of the three cohosts if they refrained from spouting nonsense about things they don't know.
