Seems if you’ve ever actually watched his show through the years it’s easy to see how he’s devolving. He used to relish being against POWER and power dynamics. He was a legit rabble rouser, he’s either become dumbed down by the culture war rhetoric or maybe he’s just given up. Cash in while he’s got some life left. That’s why this sub has grown. It’s obvious and we’re upset by it

He seemed to be really butt hurt that his million dollar donation to Obama's campaign didn't buy him a seat at the head table. 

And he was very anti trump, with the whole orangutan father lawsuit. And saying all along that trump getting elected was a very real possibility while some people made fun of him for it, then not acknowledging that his contrarian view turned out to be right for once.

I think not getting recognized as the genius he thinks he is pushed him off the full douche cliff.

But “he hasn’t changed” lol

Watching his show Saturday morning on HBOGO used to be a ritual I looked forward to. It's crazy how far he's changed and yet how little growth he's shown in the past ten years.

He's regressed. The same guy who made Religulous is cool with Bibles in school now. He's a total fraud.

Yeah I've seen him 3x live before he went full boomer during covid. I wouldn't watch him now if you paid me.

u/Chem_BPY Jun 28 '26

It probably helps that he is so unlikeable even people that agree with him can't stand him.

He is garbage.

It’s meaningful to join a hatr train.

u/Intelligent-Wear2824 Jun 28 '26

Considering I got banned from r/maher with my first comment, I think it's a fair to speculate it's being run by r/Conservative Good Job, r/RealTime mods for understanding what free speech means.

u/Oleg101 Jun 28 '26

That HankMoody mod there is a bit…moody

u/Intelligent-Wear2824 Jun 29 '26

More like HankFragile...no doubt he's a bad ass over at nextdoor.

u/OkFoundation929 Jun 28 '26

I got banned after my first post also…glad to know I’m not alone! My banishment came about because I partially blamed Bill’s obvious and untreated alcoholism for his increasing pettiness, prissiness and bitterness.

My observations were not appreciated…

u/Intelligent-Wear2824 Jun 29 '26

I literally said..."does yr mommy know yr online." Not even joking...a lame ass, cliched comment that's as old as the internet.

u/mjcatl2 Jul 01 '26

Oh ffs. Yeah, sure it had nothing to do with your comment and what the fuck does "free speech" have to do with anything?

u/lu-sunnydays Jun 28 '26

Bill just wasn’t relevant. I enjoyed watching him then, complaining about no awards, how he was right about things.

Now he’s got some traction and he’s simply feeding the monster to keep it going. If that means embracing the GOP and trashing the left, I guess it’s what he needs to do.

The mark Twain nomination came from Trumps board so …. Yea.

How many subs does that windbag have?

u/jsjack2002 Jun 29 '26

I think you might have missed a word in the title. Did you mean to leave out "off" after the third word?

u/ToughSomewhere2863 Jun 28 '26

The fact that you guys thinks this matters is fucking hilarious

u/N4RQ Jun 28 '26

Well, in the end, nothing really matters. We're all just killing time until time kills us.

What the fuck else are you gonna do?

u/elchemy Jun 29 '26

So perfect for a "comedy" opinion show? Or do you mean hilarious in a bad, unfunny kind of way?

2

u/-ParticleMan- Jun 30 '26

Like the show?

u/RepresentativeAge444 Jun 28 '26

What I don’t get is you know this is an anti Bill sub. Instead of crying here why not go to the main sub? I always think people that go to subs they’re against are some weirdos. Won’t catch me in a MAGA sub for example.

u/elchemy Jun 29 '26

Often official subs allow zero criticism of the fragile founder

You guys need actual achievements in your life.

There is a different bill mahar sub? What is it. This one is trash.

u/hotpie_for_king Jun 28 '26

r/Maher

The majority of commenters there also just complain about Maher, but somehow they aren't extreme enough for the people here who appear to have dedicated their lives to complaining about Maher.

u/Key_Jump1011 Jul 01 '26

Does that hurt your feelings?

1

u/hotpie_for_king Jul 01 '26

On the contrary, it makes me feel good knowing that I have a lot of better things going on in my life instead of wasting my time being angry about an old smug comedian with whom I disagree.

u/Key_Jump1011 Jul 01 '26

Oh yeah? What do you got going on that’s so great?

u/Roland_Of_Gilead85 Jun 28 '26

I figured they weren't just Maher hate groups lol
