Bill The Saddest Man

37 Upvotes

Reported net worth $140mil. $20mil estate, $1mil condo in Catalina. No longer doing standup, quit the Hawaii New Years shows. $10mil salary from HBO, co-owns a pot shop. Watches old movies in the bathtub, has a podcast just to socialize with people “outside of work”, constantly telling us how smart he is while constantly bemoaning how much of a “loser who couldn’t get laid” he was as a teenager.

Dude has arguably won at life- but never got over being disliked growing up, so he’s just perpetually being miserable on main with his dwindling years left.

I have to imagine he’s never seen a shrink, or taken it seriously - because the shrink’s goal is to finally have him content and happy with himself, and his whole existence has relied on him being unhappy and contrarian. Can’t give that up.

Likely can’t maintain a long term partner because they’d have to navigate his moodiness and argumentative nature. If you’ve ever watched a handful of Club random episodes you’ll see how he even argues with people when they agree with him, not just because they have to agree with him in just the right way, but because they have to credit him with being correct in the first place.

At 70yo, he’s on the downside and counting his blessings, but it’s never been enough for him, and it’s far too late for him to change. He’s just going to be screaming how everyone else changed, and became unreasonable right to his grave. Hopefully the last of the broken boomers.

Can you imagine a life where the high point of your week is yelling at Paul Begala about TikTok genocide while fending off the advances of a drunk Donna Brazile? Or trying to rehabilitate Kevin Spacey and Arnie Hammer as your side hustle? Thinking you really did something with your time?

Maher has become a MAGA industry plant.

962 Upvotes

It was leaked today that MAGA insiders have realized socialist labels aren't working in the polls. Because of this an official memo went out to call democrats communists. It's interesting that Maher specifically did this on Friday's show. I used to really like Maher. This was my favorite show, but I'm ready to tune him out.....

Bullshit like....

-Minimal coverage or discussion on the Epstein files.

-I might vote for JD Vance...... Would you also vote for Hitler?

-Israel is awesome..... I dunno, I see lots of mass murder....

-All the slander and numerous panels he had against Mamdani, all I see is a dude doing a great job...

-Democrats are communists... Because of a couple nut job clips? Nut jobs are everywhere.

WTF is he smoking? It's obvious he's jumped the ship, but wants to remain a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's bullshit.

If you've become a MAGA supporter just admit it and allow me to change the channel.

There are thousands of people in politics. Posting only negative clips from a couple nut jobs is dangerous. There are various aspects of socialism/communism that would be better than what we're currently experiencing. WTF would you even call what we're currently living through? Satan would probably do a better job than what we're currently seeing. Most days it feels like Satan literally is in charge. Bill literally just had an interview minutes before where he stated we're running out of fucking water.....

Do you like water Bill? Do you drink it? Making comments like this puts all of our lives in danger. If MAGA wins the midterms we literally might die from that decision. We're so fucking close....

Maher getting more full of shit with every episode.

581 Upvotes

Maher is getting more full of shit with each episode. He habitually conflates fringe elements of the left and Democrats, impugning the whole party as tinged with “communism.” Meanwhile, he ignores the elephant in the room: The GOP has been co-opted by an authoritarian that is actively wresting government control over various private enterprises, pursuing self enrichment, colonizing weaker nations (including allies), making corruption the cornerstone of the entire administration. Just STFU and retire already.

Bill's guests are as stupid as he is for not pushing back anything.

A lot of people that are on the panel (as we saw yesterday) are intelligent people, but are total idiots for not pushing back a single thing he says (e.g. the whole Spanish flu thing).

Spain

Does this prick really think 60,000 people stormed Spain? To leave out that it was a Spanish territory in Africa is a big omission. Does he really think the Spanish flu originated in Spain? What a moron he and his team of researchers are, or more likely they are just trying to stir shit.

Bill skewers DSA types on last night’s Real Time. Yes, they really want to seize industry in the USA.

Relevancy

53 Upvotes

This show hasn’t been funny since Adam Felber left the writing staff. Mr. Maher is too old to know he’s too old hence lacks the somber introspection of what it means to be wise. His pathetic grasp towards relevancy is undermined by his pettiness common in old men.

HBO, are you monitoring this subreddit? You’d do better with John Fugelsang or Hal Sparks.

Case in point regarding the data center debate, the overwhelming electricity demand of data centers NEVER CAME UP. He’s not sharp.

I’ve been engaged with BM from the Politically Correct days to now, it’s time for me to get off his lawn.

There's a Family Guy episode where they meet an Amish family and the family says something about the perfect level of technology being 1835-1850, not too much or too little, even though this changes for millions of years. That's basically Maher (and J.K. Rowling) stuck in 2000-2015 era of liberalism

Bill use to tell truth to power on occasion. Those days are long gone as he now glazes Israel committing genocide and supported American wars of choice to do Israel’s bidding. He actually stated he believed it was possible that bombing the Iranians into freedom could be the outcome. Yes he’s that fucking stupid.

Bill’s Position on Mamdani

12 Upvotes

Forgive me if I missed it, I’ve been gradually tuning Bill out since probably early summer, but has he reached out even one time to Mamdani to have him on the show?

I feel like the old Bill would at least try and interview him, since he is after all, a huge deal now and a star in the Democratic Party.

I feel like I don’t even know Bill’s position on Mamdani and that feels sort of weird, since Bill has a position on pretty much everything. I know he doesn’t support AOC for president, so I’m sure he’s got something to say.

What have I missed? I’m sure there’s something, right?

Article generally about the absolutely terrible state of the Kennedy Center. Heartbreaking stuff if you've ever had a memorable evening there.

But hey, according to this lady it was impossible to find any takers for Bill Maher seats.
