Bill Maher Criticizes WGA Strike, Calls Demands “Kooky”; Nobody “Owed A Living As A Writer”
Bill Maher Criticizes WGA Strike, Calls Demands “Kooky”; Nobody “Owed A Living As A Writer”
Rich coming from a guy who owes his entire career to writers. I hate this smug piece of shit
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.It would be so funny if someone went on his panel show and, after one of his tirades
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?
Bill Maher is straight up a conservative who considers himself progressive because he smokes weed and fetishises black women
And cuz he's an aThEiSt
Don't call yourself an atheist if you don't support a four olds campaign against christianity
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.
the one time he paid a writer
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.
Lmao, he did, I had no idea. Those two on the same program
Well the strike is making it clear that nobody is owed cheap writing either, Billy. Also, if the comparaively tiny A24 can afford their demands without issue or resistance, there is no excuse for companies like WB, netflix, and the like.
no more half measures walter
bill maher is not owed living, in
Nobody is owed cheap or free labour either, but these smarmy smuglords never seem to talk about that quippy gotcha.
"If minimum wage goes up, I won't be able to afford to keep my business going" ok? Is there a law that says you have to have a business?
Oh yeah I know, it's the goog old quote with "rich and poor alike have the freedom to starve." - Or is there some deeper theory to it, which should be known?
It's just the cognitive dissonance that is very obvious with that specific argument, which has always struck me as odd
American Piers Morgan
thats the best insult I've ever heard. One of the few times an insulting comparison feels equal both ways too
You know, there are a lot of people deserving of hate. Nazis. Transphobes. Politicians. They all probably deserve it more and I do hate them, but the heart wants what the heart wants and my heart really really hates this unrepentant shitstain of a human being who never had a correct opinion in his life and yet persists in being the most smug-ass motherfucker to ever exist more then any other human being on this planet.
Of course his opinion on strikes is garbage. There was never any doubt. I hope he starts glitching out, McConnell style and shits his pants while live on TV on every single show he records, but they keep dragging him out to do more shows until he is 125 years old and sees everything he ever held dear die.
new rule motherfucker: SHUT THE FUCK UP!
ahem Sorry. When I see this guy I just go off.
I think in a way it's because he thinks he's right.
I work with a guy thats a dickhead, and I fucking hate him, because he thinks the reason we don't vibe is all my fault. Like no introspection no thought of wether he might be wrong.
Bill Maher is the same way, there's worse people around (my boss is a capitalist with a bic C, so just objectively worse than some dude I don't vibe with), but the fact he thinks he's one of "the good ones" or "right" and it's just everybody else that's wrong and he's just above it, makes him that much worse. Like transphobes at least admit they hate something (you do not have to hand it to them), Bill Maher acts like he's above it, even though he's also just a fucking bigot.
Personally I dont see why Bill maher is owed a living of any kind. A genuinely worthless individual
People still listen to this washed up dipshit?
That both sidsing shit is the most frustrating thing ever. My friends like that. Big JP, Ben Shapiro, Russel Brand type guy. We work together on an ambulance so we spend most of our day alone together, leading to plenty of political conversations. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the "but both sides" bs. Knowing full well I'm an anarchist too lol, like bruh. Yeah it's both sides (sometimes) but you're being disingenuous and completely missing the point. Sorry to bombard you but I literally just got off shift and Oliver Anthony was the culture war bullshit topic of the day lol
"he must be right because both sides hate him" takes
"I enjoy eating human feces. No, 'enjoy' doesn't convey the immensity of joy that I feel. I crave it. When it touches my lips and tongue, I slip into a sublime ecstasy the likes of which fasting saints in the desert could only dream of achieving. Oh, you hate this? You despise the mental picture I have conjured in your mind? That must mean I'm correct
"Withholding your service until your demands are met? Whose idea was that, the republicans?
i wish nothing but terrible things to bill maher and hope he eats shit sooner rather than later
Everyone is owed a living, motherfucker! It's not as if we can just flee into the woods, y'all mulched all the woods and built strip malls!
I mean, we could probably squat in all the abandoned strip malls
Half of them have been reclaimed by nature anyway
Whens the last time you think he told a joke or did a bit that he actually wrote ?
he probably does write them himself judging by how unfunny they are
Kid named Nobody:
The Boondocks really nailed how much of an annoying smug little shit Bill Maher is with their representation of him in the show10+ years ago.
Why, why did I read the comments on that video?
never read the comments on a boondocks video, media literacy is far too dead for that show.
I don't think some people have the critical thinking skills to understand the show. The whole episode is about how leftists were indifferent/did not like Obama and got shit for that, and about how many people got caught up in the "hope and change" nonsense. But I think that just flew over their heads.
Oh my god. I'm so glad I did read them! Every single one of them—up to and including Bill Maher himself voicing his character—doesn't realize that THEY ARE THE PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE!
New struggle session: is the boondocks an anime?
idk i've seen his show, i don't think he pays his writers. he'll go a full 10 minutes without a single joke.
Maher having the coldest takes possible again, and he wonders why the Left he claims to be apart of hates him so much.
Remember when he interviewed Milo Yiannaopolis and then took credit for this getting him deplatformed (When really Milo was just outed as a pedo, which is how most people seem to lose their following these days)
Edit: Changed the wording I used because someone took this post out of context to get into a weird argument.
I remember when I was living with my dad after I flunked out of college. For awhile he limited my internet time, so I entertained myself with cable on demand services, and my dad had HBO. So one of the shows I watched was Real Time. I usually only got mad at him when he went on antithiest rants, because I was just a vanilla liberal at the time.
My dad is mostly apolitical (he doesnt vote because he wants to avoid jury duty, lol) but his opinions lean conservative when he does have them. So I was surprised when he said he actually liked Bill Mahr when I mentioned he, because he's "not afraid to tell it like it is" or whatever. Like I said, at the time I was surprised, how can my mostly conservative dad like this liberal?
I get it now.
bill maher should be fed to wild beasts in the arena
look, given he writes his own jokes, it's reasonable for him to come to this conclusion
New Rule: if you're one of the woke writer's Guild elites who rejected my pitch for Breaking Bad 2: Full Measure Consequences, Tagline: "you've seen him Break bad, now he's Breaking Evil", instead of whining that netflix isn't giving money you don't deserve, open up your fancy ivy league dictionary, and look up the definition of the word "Irony".
Breaking Bad 2: Full Measure Consequences
Half and half measure
Full Measure Consequences
Fantastic 2011 PS3 title
You are warging. Nailed the tone.
If communism happens and we end up having some kind of “The Running Man” style tv show where chuds and former billionaires have to fight death matches in an underground labyrinth, we should totallh throw Bill Maher’s ass in there.
Hoping one of his writer pulls a Joker on him during a broadcast. I don't even know anything about this guy other than every time I see him mentioned, he has that annoying smirk as if he said something very clever, but it's just no different than the 5000 washed up anti woke stand up comedians on youtube
Bill Maher is the living embodiment of Dreamworks Face.
It couldn't matter less if the demands are polkadot dumbass fuckshit bastard shit fuck. You need them and they don't need you. Nobody needs you as a capital owner. They shouldn't even be asking you; you should be in a gulag somewhere smoking weed with your cool re-education teacher learning what's really important in this life
Maher is the embodiment of Facebook-tier complaining. He is the Timeline Zeitgeist. He could contradict himself in a single sentence, but sliced up and memed he'll spread all throughout your feed history be damned. It doesn't go anywhere or do anything, but people keep up with it week after week. Accordingly, I could write his jokes before he does by subscribing to several Facebook Mom groups.
Bob Iger and David Zaslav, on the other hand, are perfectly entitled to the dozens of millions they make every year, they just work 1000x as hard as all the writers
Fuck him
Bill Maher always sucks, what's new?
This will probably be a controversial opinion, but I’d like to see Bill Maher in
New rule: when a piece of shit says something shitty, theres no need to write an article about it. Anyone who would actually find something wrong with this numbskull's smug shitty opinions already knows his opinions are smug and shitty.
Bill Maher looks like a sexpat in the philippines
Bill realized he could cash in saying stuff like 'the left has gone too far...I used to be one of them!'
Before that he was just cashing in on being reactionary without that excuse
This is like Nostalgia Critic attacking SAG
did that actually happen?
No, though it sort of happened by proxy on his Demo Reel series, where the main antagonist is the legally-distinct guild called SWAG.
:dave-anthony-rage:
I used to watch him with my in laws. He's great to watch because you can see the CHUD'S talking points and unearned arrogance being handed to them in real time
Hmm now where have I heard that one before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Furrw0VDpWM&t=0
This is what happens when you get owned by a cosplay Jesus in your own documentary
Has anyone listened to the Bill Maher episode of Shoeless in South Dakota?
I have not, but now that I’ve been reminded of the show and having read the episode description I will be
It's pretty funny but also left me with a really creepy bad taste of Bill Maher.
I heard The Joker is going on Bill Maher next week
I will outlive Bill Maher.
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
And the last time he leaned left was when marijuana was counter culture.
He speaks to the heart of affluent liberal suburbanites.
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.

lol
Damn this is good
am I a lib for disliking Fred Armisen?
weirdest looking, unfunniestdude of all timeedit: I take that back, i forgot we were in a thread about Bill Maher
he's the smuggest of smug libs and conservatives love him lol.
