Rich coming from a guy who owes his entire career to writers. I hate this smug piece of shit
He’s the walking embodiment of the smug liberal elitist that literally everyone hates. Amazing he still has a career.
I got a special hatred for the “I use to be left leaning, but now they’ve gone too far!” type liberals
He got some street cred for getting banned for basically doing Hasan’s “America deserved 9/11” bit but like, RIGHT AFTER 9/11 and getting the show he had cancelled I think.
That said he was like, agreeing with Dinesh D’Souza at the time apparently? Lmao didint even know that guy existed back then.
watch the new Tim Heidecker office hours with Ted Armisen. He does a parody character of Bill Maher for the whole duration and nails it.
am I a lib for disliking Fred Armisen?
weirdest looking, unfunniest dude of all time
edit: I take that back, i forgot we were in a thread about Bill Maher
God I saw this clip of him interviewing Marianne Williamson, he was complaining about “elite Ivy League schools” (never mind he went to Cornell) and how they’re brainwashing school children these days. Marianne pushed back that kids aren’t being taught by Ivy League professors, and his response was “yeah well those professors are training the teachers.” Motherfucker thinks every public school teacher went to an Ivy League.
He also bemoaned that modern universities don’t allow for independent thinking and non-conformity, then in the next breath complained about students talking back to their professors. Like, which is it asshole, are students pressed into conformity or are they too free in questioning authority?
God, it would be so funny if someone went on his panel show and, after one of his tirades, asked him, “So, when did you become your dad?”
That’s the core of boomer , they’re terminally stuck in the mentality that they’re never the “old people” and so they see anything that goes against their worldview is “the man keeping them down.” There’s zero self-awareness that they’re “The Man” now.
I see this all the time in the business world when it comes to succession planning. One’s refusal to face mortality becomes a refusal to train one’s replacement, and more importantly, neglecting documenting how one does one’s job. I just left a job after just a year where I was being trained to take over a retiring boomer’s job, but she’d documented nothing at all for about 20 years, and yet expected me to do things exactly the way she had done them, no deviation, no questions answered. It was highly stressful. I was just burned out.
I don’t normally get involved in generational wars. Sorry, working class boomers reading this! No war but the class war! But those among your generational cohort who rose to management positions in the business world consistently display this pattern.
I can’t remember the context but wasn’t Bill owned by Ben Affleck of all people on his own show once? I think it was when Mahr had said something Islamaphobic as usual?
He got owned by Norm Macdonald just mocking his whole dumbass discussion once or twice.
Bill Maher is straight up a conservative who considers himself progressive because he smokes weed and fetishises black women
This emoji may as well be Maher:
Lmao its literally the same image
@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net was this the source material you used?
Maher said, “We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly. You’re right.”
Only correct thing he’s ever said, and of course he was cancelled for that.
Fun fact: he was responding/agreeing with Dinesh D’Souza when he said that. I had no idea that guy even existed in the public at the time lmao.
