Bill Maher Criticizes WGA Strike, Calls Demands “Kooky”; Nobody “Owed A Living As A Writer”
“They’re asking for a lot of things that are, like, kooky.” That’s Bill Maher’s take on the current state of the Writers Guild strike after his opinions were voiced on the latest …
Rich coming from a guy who owes his entire career to writers. I hate this smug piece of shit
You're viewing a single thread.
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 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.
Using words for their impact and not their meaning was as popular back then as it is now and if I recall correctly he got fired because he did a monologue about how the terrorists weren't cowards, which was one of the things in the bullhorn at the time. He might have also talked about blowback but the thing everybody cared about was the coward thing.
Yeah in the statement he said "We're cowards for throwing missles" which was spot on but I dont think thats the part that upset people.
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.
Ted Armisen
lol
oops
Damn this is good
Tim's a genius
his Rogan one might even be better
I didn’t even know about these weird Maher interviews until I saw this video
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
saw him do a musical comedy set as part of a rock concert last year and he killed it, and before that I wasn't a fan
tbh snl is where comedy goes to die
Permanently Deleted
That scene in Barry with his incredibly odd facial expressions was fucking hysterical.
his on-screen persona is to just be aggressively inoffensive and let that be funny. I don't think it worked that well on snl but portlandia was good for him cause there was lots of space for mild whimsy. him and carrie sleeping in separate child-sized beds is like stuck in my mind
tbh I've never seen anything with him in
he's the smuggest of smug libs and conservatives love him lol.
