Popular Post GammaGlobulin Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 (edited) Maher is a pseudo-intellectual, who is extremely intelligent...in his own mind. In actuality, he is just a bombastic nitwit of the 4th kind. Hate this guy. His opinions are soaked up, verbatim, without any filtering, by his tribe.... They will all go to their graves with supercilious smiles that even the most skilled undertaker will be unable to remove from their sour pusses.

JackGats Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Little of what he says is funny. I was never a big fan of Maher but I gave him credit for being funnier than this. I also don't find John Cleese very funny any more. Comedians are overrated. They'll die out with television. 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of his show and also like his casual sessions on Club Random with guests on youtube. No need to agree with everything he says or thinks to find value in his shows. Interestingly he just did a Club Random with Kanye and I think for the first time didnt release because Kanye was spouting so much Jew hatred. I wonder why book him if he expected anything else but I guess he wanted to give him a chance.

Prubangboy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Not funny for about 5 years. The people here who I read for laughs are the people that no one's missing back home. Slip out the back, Jack, and...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furioso Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's ironic that Bill Maher's showrunners have to hire and pay people in the audience to laugh LOUD at every single joke. His writers are hit and miss, you can tell he's had the same one's for decades. Real Time was a good show for the first ten years or so but now it's very lazy..and stale. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I didn't think this bit was one of his better bits - the usual America is better and freer than you think bit. Boring other interview about racism in 2023 etc . The discussion of Joe Biden on the panel and the intro jokes was good. I could wax lyrical about why I think Bill has gone a bit downhill in the last 12 months but I'll leave it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his best bit but as expats in a country that most of us like living in more than the west, of course we're biased. He has no experience of such things. 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care either way but I'm skeptical. Please provide credible link. He tours nationally to do stand up comedy and I doubt people are buying expensive tickets not to laugh. 1 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I guess this should really be about expats and expatriation rather than the messenger Bill Maher. The bit about Amsterdam was quite funny. I love to visit there but never ever thought that I wanted to live there. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if we were all multi millionaires, we could tolerate living in the USA. Still wouldn't be my choice though, maybe the Keys, non-hurricane season.

He said something to the effect that he could not see himself on a dusty bus full of people and chickens in Africa or something. Nor did he want to do action stuff like skiing. Could relate to that a bit. Not sure why you are being so harsh. He does some good clever stuff on politics and is good at taking Trump to task - he picked that he wouldn't accept losing long before the election - to the point that Trump mentions him sometimes as a loser comedian or something which has to be a compliment. Yes I mentioned Trump. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I mentioned Trump. He is awful. Was asked about the guy from California. Claimed he would make a great president. His only reason was he made it rain. The guy is a c grade version of Letterman. Audience gets told to laugh. How sad is that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
