He gained prominence as a regular on Dave Chappelle's popular sketch comedy series Chappelle's Show in 2004 on Comedy Central.

On September 9, 2006, Burr performed at the Tweeter Center in Camden, New Jersey, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, as part of Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour. After the crowd booed several comedians before him, Burr took the stage, also receiving boos. Forgoing the rest of his planned material, Burr unleashed a 12-minute expletive-laden rant in which he repeatedly attacked the crowd and the city of Philadelphia, especially its sports teams.{{cite news |last=Valania |first=Jonathan |date=2017-12-06 |title=The Mouth That Roared: Q&A With Comedian Bill Burr, The Man Who Told Philadelphia To Go F*ck Itself, Hard, And Lived To Tell |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mouth-that-roared-qa_b_4242841 |work=The Huffington Post |access-date=2025-01-18}}{{cite news |last=Condran |first=Ed |date=2013-02-20 |title=Canton native Bill Burr brings his comedy back home |url=https://www.patriotledger.com/story/entertainment/local/2013/02/21/canton-native-bill-burr-brings/40059877007/ |work=The Patriot Ledger |access-date=2025-01-18}} "I was just annoyed because I was sitting there going like, this is one of the greatest comedy line-ups, as far as up-and-coming guys, that I've been around," Burr said.

In 2017, Burr expressed some regret over the incident, saying, "I wasn't a professional. What I should have done was I should have kept my head in the game to survive it." The Huffington Post called the rant a "watershed moment in the history of comedy".

Since May 2007, Burr has recorded a weekly one-hour podcast, Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast, in which he speaks about his experiences, current events, going on tour, and sports, and offers advice to questions submitted by the listeners. The podcast is available on Burr's website, Spotify, YouTube, and on the All Things Comedy network he co-founded in 2012. He is sometimes joined by his wife Nia Hill and has featured guests and interviews with other comedians.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}} In the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV, Burr voiced Jason Michaels of the biker gang The Lost MC in the mission "No Love Lost". In 2009, he reprised his role in the game's expansion pack The Lost and Damned.
