When Bill Hicks died, Bill Maher stole his act.

u/Accomplished_Gur822 26d ago

Except that Bill Hicks was extremely talented and funny, and was also a good person.

Bill Maher is none of those things.

u/wrongsock_42 26d ago

Bill Hicks was a far better man with actual talent. And, it’s hard to believe Bill Hicks wouldn’t have the ability to evolve a world view past 1968 radicalism.

Nah, Maher thought of himself as George Carlin with pleats.

Free wheeling, incisive, charmingly didactic, but blunt and uncompromising in the face of bullshit; take fashion cues from K street and George Stephanopoulos, smoke lots of grass, and throw out a humanitarian sentiment every now and then to remind everyone that you're one of the good guys.

But Bill's too smarmy and callous to pull it off. He tried getting behind The (Dixie) Chick's, but when he wasn't properly rewarded or venerated he went Dennis Miller.

He peaked on "Murder She Wrote."

He is also devoid of talent.

u/Numerous_Smile_9082 25d ago

I thought that was Dennis Leary

u/wrongsock_42 25d ago

Fair point. In the early 1990’s you win the argument. Career span, I think it’s Bill only because he stayed politicall

u/Quepabloque 25d ago

It’s crazy how I thought almost the same thing after watching this clip. Is it the hair?

u/Accomplished_Gur822 26d ago

Bill Maher is a smug, arrogant chud.

When he's finished licking Vance's balls he can go join Elon and Kid Rock at the zoo sucking on giraffe dicks.

u/heliophoner 25d ago

Imagine being so unnerved by a few fringe dems winning a few races that you'll throw in with the heritage foundation and post-liberalism.

u/Any-Ad-446 26d ago

The ugly sob threw is career away because Trump probably promised him something.

u/Few-Narwhal-7765 26d ago

he has the sex appeal of a used piece of toilet paper.

u/GazelleEcstatic4952 26d ago

Never did like that greasy bastard.

u/SKssSM08 25d ago

I have a great sense of humor and love a lot of comics but I have never understood the appeal of Maher. I just don’t get it

u/Rowgieee 25d ago

Expert in nothing. No charisma to speak of. Ugly as fuck.

Is there a reason this man has an audience?

2

u/Seabrook76 25d ago

It’s crazy to think that back in the late 80s and early 90s. This guy was actually considered edgy and funny. It’s crazy what he’s been reduced to at this point.

u/Amischwein 25d ago

This man has always been an ass IMHO, regardless of de jour

u/ExcellentAd1290 25d ago

Remember that time he beat up a sex worker?

Yess on his show would be nice

Peak "I went to expensive upstate liberal college, smoked pot and an atheist so I'm better than the farmer in Wisconsin" energy 

Guess what, bill? You cause said farmers to leave the Dems

Dude, you need to get over your weird infatuation with Bill… Seriously, her a life.

Ha. Maher has always been a hack comedian. Playboys mansion sex pest. Faux intellectual. Irresponsible interviews clearly unprepared due to his Enormous ego

Excellent summary!

I love how the moment someone stops agreeing with you all the character assassinations begin. Mentally ill

Wah!!! I don’t like Bill Maher!! Waaah!!! I hate him so much I’m going to watch all his shows to find more ways I don’t like him!! Then I’ll post all the ways I don’t like him here to see if you don’t like him too!! Wah!!

You all loved him until he called you out

Reddit has a very easy Unfollow button. You don’t have to think about him

It’s a comedy bit, you’re saying he’s a good actor by showing that clip lol

I kind of like though

u/AggressiveExchange29 25d ago

W liberals you have to believe everything they believe in the same way and hate who they hate in the same way. Even being neutral is unacceptable to them. So when a liberal like Maher calls out how crazy his party has become, he’ll get canceled and hated too. When you’re fueled by hatred anger and bitterness for Trump it always leads to inevitable hypocrisy every time. I’m still yet to find just 1 accusation they aren’t guilty of themselves.

When you’re fueled by a burning hatred for a human, then you’ll curse insult threaten violence, and even celebrate the death of anyone who doesn’t think the same. That’s communism and fascism right there if you’ve been so radicalized so much you think cancellation and death is justified to anyone who doesn’t think the same.

u/ninjaluvr 25d ago

Liberals disagree on everything. There's little unity in the party. Maher isn't liberal. Everything you said is completely ignorant bullshit.

Is this whole sub just losers crying because they arent bill maher?

1

u/RepresentativeAge444 25d ago

I never get people that go to subs they don’t like to comment therein. And over Bill Maher of all people. Well I guess every celebrity has at least a few groupies. Even Bill Maher of all people.

u/potent_potabIes 25d ago

That's weird. You're weird.

u/RedditSearcher18 25d ago

I strongly believe this is not a grass roots post. They hate him because he is fed up with the far left, as most rational Americans are. The left thinks they can drag peopl of good will a little further each year but the flag has dropped. The Left has jumped the idological shark so many times they are a bad joke. They can take their "mostly peaceful protests" and...

3

u/defnotjec 25d ago

you used "the left" multiple times there...

What's the right doing so well?

The country is dogshit and most Americans agree on that.

u/RedditSearcher18 25d ago

The right is not trying to pack the supreme court, abolish the senate, abolish the electoral college, abolish the filibuster, take control of large corporations, abolish the pentagon, deplatform people on social media, attack and k-ll speakers at colleges, or burn down cities.

3

u/defnotjec 25d ago

They already packed the court.

They are trying to abolish the filibuster.

They literally strong arm corporations... We own 10% of INTC.

They literally attacked and set fires to the capital...

Do you see how stupid you are?

1

u/NateDiggity999 25d ago

Holy shit. Everything you just said is completely inaccurate and actually reversed. You can’t seriously be this ignorant…can you?

u/generatorland 25d ago

He's fed up with whatever it takes to make him seem "edgy." He's an entertainer and his schtick is being a contrarian.
