Easily the strangest part of Hannibal Buress' career is the fact that he kicked off the wave of public backlash against Bill Cosby. And that's really saying something given his involvement in The Eric Andre Show. Jimmy Kimmel had to ask about him initiating the criticism, and Buress revealed he's been getting death threats ever since. Coming from him, death threats have never sounded so hilarious. 

"The weirdest thing about getting a death threat from a male body builder/stripper on Facebook is when you click on his profile and see that you have one mutual friend," Buress said. 

He also joked that that's not how killers operate:


"First I'm going to this coffee shop and buying something so they give me the WiFi password. Then I'm sitting down, I'm pulling out my Acer laptop, and I'm logging into Facebook. Then I'm searching 'Hannibal Buress.' Then I'm spelling 'Buress' correctly. Then..."
