“Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.”
― Ricky Gervais
Bill Maher is one of the most-debunked People.
Just like ''CC from New Work'. But look at the commentsection:
This Guy has such a Grip on his Fans, they cant get away form him.
Are you talking about Maher or the woman he’s speaking about. Maher is so winey
@@justinoneill8625you come across as exactly who he is talking about. You didn't talk about the merits of his argument(s), but rather, you took the really cheap and lazy route - to get personal and go after him as a person. Small mind.
@@CorneliusHerelle That's the way of the world nowadays. Resort to insults and personal attacks when they can't put up an educated and rational argument as to why he's wrong. Completely correct on the "exact people he's talking about".
The world is not required to cater to peoples selfish and sensitive emotions.
@@CorneliusHerelle wow. You sure have a lot too say about me asking a question. When he retires you would make the perfect replacement for Rambling on about something so little. Hope too see you on tv In the future with little too say😵
I love how Felicia got "offended" by the joke, then proceeded to flood Twitter with insults, attacks, ad hominems, etc.
And proceeded to do exactly what she called out as the wrong response a year prior.
This seems to be the pattern:
1. I’m offended by what you did& then tried to apologize for doing.
2. I’ll be offensive toward you in return on pretty much a global scale and expect everyone to agree with me or accuse them of being as bigoted and evil as you!
@@paulburke6785 kindergarten it is
@@sebastiencarre2416 Kindergarten? Sounds more like pre-school.
I love how she just ticked the "polar" box right there. We didn't have to guess she put all her credentials out there.
"Can you imagine a world that allows jokes that you don't like?" Brilliant.
It was a very poor joke with negative undertones regarding women.
„It was only a joke“ is the oldest defense of bullies‘ there is
@@Celisar1 Not to mention what whiny little rat b ches they are. They snipe at women and then backpedal when confronted 🥴
@@Celisar1 Yeah and maybe they can stop committing the vast majority of horrific crimes if they want to accuse the other group of being crazy?
@@Celisar1humor is subjective, so you don't get to impose your standards on others. If you dont like something, there is an option to put your big girl p---ies and deal with it. But that requires not being an "emotional hemophiliac," or a Karen.
Oh yeah? Are you deliberately sounding like a bully? Or is that just how you are?@@MelC-td9bg
Of all the good late night shows, Bill's is not only very entertaining but you can feel that he wants all of his viewers, left and right to reflect and reconsider. That makes his show special.
Watch Gutfeld. You'll be surprised how good he is
What makes Bill's show popular is authenticity.
@@janbarrett4544 WOW... the most inauthentic person in the world. I got a bridge to sell you.
Imagine claiming to be offended by something, while simultaneously sharing that something with everyone possible.
It's almost like people will manipulate to gain power.
that's how they get their 15 minutes of fame.
A lot of people have the mental agility to imagine Bill Maher as a liberal whose talking points check off the entire agenda of the right- so I guess anything is possible.
That's because they're not really offended. It's a power play to silence those with dissenting views. These people are nuts.
"Here are my buttons. I don't care how tempting it is, don't push them." "Why aren't you pushing my buttons?!"
Well said. The worst thing about these sort of people is how horrendously toxic they are. While they're crying 'offence', they are in reality control freaks. They are entirely intolerant and humorless.
What's horrendously toxic Duncan Wallace is denying that jokes repeated over n over again by the dominant group are harmless. How do people tend to react when a woman says a dude's crazy vs. a dude saying a woman's crazy? Are you aware of the fact that not long ago a woman could be stripped of her rights and institutionalized for behaving in ways that male society did not agree with? It's no coincidence that the person who made the stupid, sexist joke is a white guy, or that the majority of people who defend BM are also white guys. White men have no clue what it's like to be discriminated against, exploited economically, shunned socially, etc. as a result of these so-called "harmless jokes".
I got a 24 hour ban for commenting on Facebook "Because men aren't allowed to care for themselves, or they're being selfish."
@@smurray9712 "Something something White men something something privilege, some other stuff, regurgitated talking points, humorless resentment, self righteous finger wagging -- aaaaand scene."
@@smurray9712 LOL you’re the butt of the joke this whole segment was about fool. Clearly didn’t learn anything. Free speech, you take offence and think it should be controlled and all the silly petty consequences you describe are NOTHING compared to censorship’s consequences. Learn to stfu when you’re owned
Don't kid yourself, this is all about control. You just want to dominate others and force them to cower before your 'authority', which is a very nasty trait indeed.
This is a peculiar thing I came across when I was a teacher. Parents who didn't like how you were dealing with their child were not interested in sitting down, talking, and working things out. They were on search and destroy mode, screaming in your face, complaining to your superiors daily and insisting you be fired, getting online with other parents of your students to start bad feelings with them, all over the most miniscule misunderstanding. This is how younger adults are today. God help us.
The part of your comment saying "...all over the most miniscule misunderstanding" is particularly worrisome to me. Some people would call this lack of perspective and I would agree--yet I would add lack of proportion, as well. In other words, not every disagreement should be seen as a "three-alarm fire" level of conflict.
You weren't there, my friend, they were almost always miniscule.
I got told to become a teacher once. Your explanation of what happens....... is for that very reason.
😢this is sadly why I left teaching. Parents and teachers are supposed to be partners.
@darlamcfarland3323, my wife would talk for 25 years left the teaching profession for EXACTLY the scenario you described. Parents stopped thinking of the teacher as someone whose job is to impart information but someone they could work out on because Johnny continually acted up in class and there wasn't a damn thing teachers could do about it anymore,; no expulsions, no disciplines allowed, and you have to treat them all like thin glass faces because they're so fragile. It was just too hard for her to go from a recognized positive force in students lives particularly because of her emphasis on reading to being blamed for all of society's ills and in particular the behavioral problems of the children foisted upon her by bad parents/ ignorant/ drug addicted/ in trouble with the law and on and on. It is virtually impossible to rid yourself of a student who is basically destroying the class and The Learning Experience for everyone else. And the parents come in and shake your finger at YOU❗
There is a lot of stuff Bill says that i either disagree with or feel maybe a little off. But in this as a millennial myself, i have to admit that he is spot on. Too many people are actively going around looking to be offended by something. Then respond by being 10x more toxic than whatever it was that caused the offense.
Ya but after us it’s going to become even worse.
@@ruofengxiu4243 Bill. M doesn't really give a shit; he's all about the ratings. If you listened to him years ago it was a differents story to catch the people who are unhappy with both sides and the gov in general. Who isn't? He couldn't find a spot if it was on his mouth.
@homo sexual feminine mal6 whistleblower confession
"Offense is taken, not given." - Ricky Gervais
@@ruofengxiu4243 I use to think that but, Nah the Next generation will have their thoughts, feeling & emotions completely governed by A.I, Algorithms & a Social Currency system.
Cancel Culture is literally the U.S version of China's Social Currency. System, it's what Social Currency looks like in a democratic nation.
The Next Gen will basically empty vessels to be downloaded into.
@@ruofengxiu4243 as a gren z I agree
It’s hilarious how appropriate the phrase “bye Felicia” applies in this situation 😂
Beat me to it. 😉
🤣🤣
Felicia: the new "Karen"
Felicia is the third option in the punchline to the joke.
I was surprised he didn't lead with that.
"Democracy dies in dumbness." Sadly witnessed every day.
Watching this kind of crap?
When I was about 12 I remember when Doc told Marty Mcfly, why he had DeLorean" If you're gonna travel through time, why don't do it in style".
That was a true lesson from the world outside the family.
It's been that way for about 50 years. The public schools like it that way.
If it's helps and not pandemic..we are a representative republic with democracy as a map. We aren't a democracy. :-)
I thought he was going to talk about the journalist and guide that were murdered and buried in Brazil. 😐
I never, in a million years, thought I would get to like what he says. I am now a fan! Good job. Keep it up.
Bill Maher you Rock. That was just perfectly addressed.
It's truly a strange thing to live during a time that I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with Bill Maher.
Well, I'm a liberal who agrees with his takes, I also don't want men competing against women in sports. Why would I want to see a dude compete against women? I don't.
Idiocy transcends politics.
follow the money
It's just common sense. If some punk teen and his friend smash up a kids bike and the little kid goes and complain in tears to the nearest adult about what happened. And the adult scolds the punks for what they did. Do they feel shame for what they did? They are called punks for a reason. Because they have no sense of morality.
As a red blooded die hard conservative, I totally agree. He just is common sense, whether I agree or not.
It’s even sadder because when the Post wanted to fire Felicia for the Kobe tweet, Weigel was among the ones who defended her.
Well, now that’s pushing someone under a bus.
That's exactly why you don't save them. Doesn't surprise me in the least that she essentially stabbed him in the back.
No good deed goes unpunished. 🙄
I believe the technical term for that is: backstabbing thankless self-righteous cunt
Have you ever defended someone who in turn back stabs you? Yep, I tried to help a former employee with a good review who was a poor performer. Well, later on he decided to sue the company stating in the lawsuit that his supervisor was unqualified for the position. Go figure!!!
Bill Maher is bringing comedy back bit by bit!
One of the main causes of allergies is growing up in an environment that is too sterile. We are creating a society of people with emotional allergies. It's so easy to live in a bubble of comfort and self-reinforcement that people are losing the ability to come into contact with opposing views (that might make them uncomfortable) without melting down.
Well said mate.
Willaim Wow that's a real leap. The sterile room analogy?
Wow, you summarized it wonderfully.
🍻
@@jschuler53 He's right, on the scale of human history we live in the Goldie Locks Zone.
Technology is an incubator, it won't always be this way though.
Climate, War, Depleting resources
Severe economic down turns have a way of drastically shifting priorities
And reintroducing oppression on barbaric levels.
It's a wonderful thing that we can focus and place so much emphasis on the Petty, many people have fought and died to bring about the luxury of the era where we can nurse emotions.
But the era of necessity & survival
Is only dormant, it will return. Excess, Gluttony & Narcism time is short.
Greeks, Romans, Egyptian, Phoenicians, Ottomans, Babylonians
All Had periods hedonism and generations that forgot lessons of the past, and were weaken by their own success and arrogance.
Way too many historical accounts
To reference. The license for freedom has always been purchased in blood and it has an expiration date and will have to be renewed eventually.
@@Peakfreud WOW. You should publish this in the New Yorker or somewhere. I. agree and that's why I don't freak out when my friends tell me we're destroying the planet. I quietly say, again? I never heard about The Goldylocks Zone, what does that mean? You should expand this and publish it. Thanks. This is really great.
When you give power to the easily offended, you are only encouraging them to get outraged again by increasingly smaller offenses.
Kinda like women and white knight simp men ?
Always looking for a micro aggression has to be a miserable life.
Felecia is exactly the kind of person Musk said he wouldn't hire because they spend more time causing a ruckus than working. She sued the paper for discrimination last year (it was thrown out of court). She must be a pleasure to work with.
That's the WOKE culture we live in today..... pathetic and sad
I call them snowflakes. They are a truly disgusting spin-off of humanity. A mistake of evolution.
This is as on-point as you can get. There's so much going on in the world that actually deserves our attention and energy.
@@RodSerling7 Yep. So they better toughen up
So, why the fuck is he talking about it and wasting our time?....
@@azurimoonofficial He's commenting on the shit storm over an obvious joke, and the infringement of freedom of speech. Is everyone being toilet trained at gunpoint? Way too anal retentive.
Yes!! This was awesome. I hope Bill Maher does a New Rule about Tammy Sepetis.
Wait until China goes for Taiwan. There's a world of hurt coming for us all.
I keep rewatching this every few months, So brilliant, 💛
"A thousand burning bras." . . . "Till the bell rang and all went to seventh period." 😆
One of your best monologues, Bill! (from a fellow "boomer")
"The unlicensed day care center that is todays newsroom". Classic and sadly true.
Bill Maher is one of the most-debunked People.
Just like ''CC from New Work'. But look at the commentsection:
This Guy has such a Grip on his Fans, they cant get away form him.
@@loturzelrestaurant I'm commenting on what Bill Mahr said. "The unlicensed day care center that is todays newsroom". Classic. Whatever you are talking about.. why not just create your own random post instead of commenting on mine with drivel?
‘Unlicensed day care center’ will become my insult of the day !
I agree that's good, but "emotional hemophiliacs" is golden!
@@pcbacklash_3261 Indeed.
Is it me, or is Bill Maher suddenly funnier and more entertaining than EVERY late night show host?
Like last two weeks suddenly
It's you.
He's been light-years ahead of them for decades.
Think he's done with the B/S maybe
Maher and Gutfeld are way funnier than any of the late show hosts.
Amen brother. I thought Bill was a lil too political but now can't stop watching & listening to these great shows. Thank you Bill.
you thought a political satirist was too political? I guess you dont know what political satire is.
Now here's the Bill Maher I know and love. Damn near perfect monologue!
“Democracy dies in dumbness”. Best quote ever.
And it's true for the Left AND the Right! For every Felicia Sonmez there's a Marjorie Taylor Greene...except that Greene holds a government position!
@@victorpradha9946 But mgt isn't losing her little mind over a harmless tweet then trashing her fellow cons.
indeed, it is dying of such today as a growing majority of increasingly uneducated sheep vote as their respective media platforms & flock of peers (also brainwashed by the aforementioned platforms) say they should). These same media brainwashed masses are who their elected officials also pander to in often the same knee-jerk-reaction way, often flopping from one stance to another on subjects just for votes & attention. They're all controlled by media which is owned & narrated by the corporate ruling class, who now not only own a growing majority of both government establishment parties, but also control a growing majority of the dumbed down electorate who votes as they're manipulated to vote for, worship, or even commit homegrown terrorist attacks for. It's no longer a free & fair democracy if elections are so influenced by propaganda so it indeed is dying in dumbness, or arguably already has.
Died?
@@victorpradha9946 Sorry, but MTG pushing the idea of a stolen election....something every Democrat was doing in 2016 BTW....absolutely pales in comparison to Libs pushing drag queen story hour in kindergarten, 8-10 year old children being coerced into transgenderism, the normalization of paedo phillia and everything they don't agree with or find "offensive" to be canceled and censored, along with the total destruction of the lives of those who they disagree with or find "offensive". Stop with the nonsensical comparisons. I'll take conspiracy theories about stolen elections over the outright abominations of progressive liberals any day.
As a person in their 20’s who despises the vast majority of my peers for their whining and entitlement, THANK YOU. This was hilarious
Well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love it!
right there with you pal. Every time I hear some smooth brain talking about "diversity and equity" I want to put a hole in the drywall.
Same here hun! I find myself having to constantly do damage control for the millennials that are hard-working, sane individuals with common sense! These younger entitled ones make us all look bad! 🤦♀️
@@SquashGuy02134 I'm Trans and even I can't stand all the pandering and wokeness!!🤦♀️ All of their "activism" is actually making things WORSE for everyone that they claim they're helping!!🙄🤦♀️😩
It’s so good to laugh out loud…Thanks Bill!
So well said.... Great writing!
This was a Master Class of communicating the clarity of what we have become in the USA: Way too over-sensitive, self-absorbed in emotional minutiae, unable to take or tell a joke or engage in humor that has an edge, and tribally trite beyond all sensibility. Thanks, Bill, for one of your best Segments ever. Master Class, indeed.
I'm offended by you calling out how easily offended we are.
@@quietguy-rx6kv Good on ya, Mate! Nice volley.
Not be able to say what you want hits bill right in the wallet. He still has a hair across his ass about losing politically incorrect. People are still going to call out people when they say shitty things. No matter the pushback from assholes like bill. THAT’S what people have to get over.
I'm not going to act like you're a fool or anything but comedy has never been sacred. It's literally been a hot bed of cringe worthy trash that was hidden under the guise of humor. Certain things are being pushed too far but that house n*gga joke by Bill was the perfect example of how white men specifically think jokes are just jokes.
Very well put. Great synopsis of what the United States has become over the last 30 years. And then we have a perfect example of the Safe Space Generation chiming in here as I type. It is a never ending loop of everything is hurtful and dangerous and I need to be comforted. God help the Republic.
Good for you, Bill Maher, for highlighting this idiocy at the Post. (And superbly written, as always.)
Typical of Maher -- takes one incident with one newspaper and brands it "What's wrong with today's journalism." Just like his assertion that every city in the United States is defunding the police.
@@nycmatch3658 Where did he clam that every city in the United States is defunding the police? I'd like to see that. What's the source and the date he said it? Thanks.
Lol
@@cortical1 This poster just switched "reporter" for journalist then hopped and skipped straight from Washington to all of USA police departments. 😂
He does take liberties to drive hone a point tho
There are numerous topics we do not agree on, but it has been extremely satisfying to hear you on the topics we can easily agree on. It is refreshing to hear sanity coming from other perspectives. Thank you and keep doing your thing.
Bill Maher’s show needs to be mandatory viewing by all those under the age of 30.
Bill Maher is the world’s crabby uncle that explains everything in a way that everyone needs to hear.❤️
Agreed but he uses human tragedy to set up punchlines all the time, hurricanes, condominiums in Florida, tornadoes, he is a smart man but also kind of a dumb punk ,,he actually has some of Trumps mentality lol
I call him Grandpa Snark. Due-due-tue-due-due.
@@timothydoyle6859 lol 🤣
Great comment!
Bill Maher says it jokingly because it's a comedy show but in reality having a majority of stupid people in a rich country is no laughing matter at all! I laugh too, but worry even more!
I'm a millennial and I approve this message.
Let's just get on with adulting.
And adulting would include addressing real issues like inflation that’s murdering the working class of this country, as a millennial I could careless what’s going on on Twitter and WAPOs newsroom. Bill use to focus on real issues, this culture war crap is for ratings.
100%.
Have you seen his new rule about "adulting" ? Plz don't report this comment as offensive 🙏 😂
Thank you Bill for telling the truth! You are my hero
Bill is the man!
She is basically proving the joke has reality in it.
Yeah, we found out which bi she is.
She became the joke, literally, she walked straight in to it like a clueless child and proceeded to act as such. 😂
Ikr. What a perfect response it would've been for someone to tweet at her: "So I guess you don't like women, then."
Yup, let's make fun of serious illnesses... That will make it better.
So you have no problem posting sexist things on a public platform? That basically proves the need for women to call out entitled men spewing sexism. Thanks for proving her point.
I saw a button the other day "It's not because you're old, the music really does suck"... that has even deeper meaning now
Yes music today mostly does suck, but it was even worse in my teen years (late 90s/early 00s).
Yes, it is thanks to the infamous autotune! Just watched an analysis about that. Music today all sound the same.
You're crazy the bands and the 90s are awesome
At my work on a hotel we play two stations: Frank Sinatra and the elevator muzak they make nowadays. I HATE hearing the same 40 Sinatra songs over and over again. But better that than Radio Costes.
extremely well said!!!
With discomfort and going out of your safe space is where you learn the most.
"Emotional hemophiliacs." I'm stealing that one, Bill.
Emotional hypochondriacs makes more sense.
"Emophiliacs" is what he was really after.
I'm in love with and want a polyamorous relationship with both responses to this comment.
@@taylorc2542 You can't really be a hypochondriac with your emotions though. Hypocondriact THINK they are sick, but they aren't. When it comes to emotions, however, if you are offended, you are offended. You can't really be wrong about that. You can be unreasonably easily offended, but you're still offended, whether it's unreasonable or not.
that is a Dennis Miller line, by the way.
I miss the times when people like Felicia would be left to cry for themselves at a corner of the room.
No, she would have been suspended, told not to go public with internal office affairs ever again, and told she would be fired if she did it again.
she did get fired.
After going back shit nuts
@@misssummersalt very delayed. My scenario is FIRST DAY.
That's what started this.
Thank you Bill!
as an older millennial, I would like to say Bill is on the money. even at work my coworkers will try to get me to engage in dark comedy and interesting topics that are none of my business and I have to tell them no because I say one thing and and I know ill be at HR’s desk if I do because people are too weak to handle truth.
Damn! It's good to see you standing up for common sense Bill. Something we desperately need now a days in the US.
Ditto.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It is interesting watching his awakening to the moronic idiocy that many of us have been railing against for the last few years and have been castigated for it.
So rewarding to hear someone call out these crybabies. Thank you Bill.

One of your best commentaries. Died laughing at the pathetic truth. "Emotional Hemophilia" would get a thumbs up from Carlin.
"The unlicensed daycare center that is today's 'newsroom'..." 8 words that sum up what's wrong with mainstream media! 😂
Right on point. I was so relieved when you started speaking out as you should. When a society loses its humor we really are doomed
Relieved because you want to keep perpetuating sexism without consequences?
Wait until we lose our “Cash”, then we’ll see what Real oppression looks like.
@@anonanonymous1970 jeez, have you considered behavior like yours is what keeps the Democrats from getting anything done? Despite all the tragic gun violence, the leaked SCOTUS brief that will likely result in women dying from illegal abortions and all things Trump, you put sexist jokes at the top of your list? You gotta learn to put shit in perspective...dumb blonde jokes are way down on my list when Congress is likely to switch back to Republican control next year.
@@anonanonymous1970 It was a pretty funny, harmless joke. Normal women aren't offended to the point they need to punish their coworkers and start a weird twitter war.
@@ChaserBD04 Did you really just say "normal women"? You don't get to decide when and how women should speak out about systemic sexism. Let me repeat: You don't get to decide when and how women should speak out about systemic sexism. Again: You don't get to decide when and how women should speak out about systemic sexism.
How long before Felecia starts tweeting how offended she was by this segment?
Keep up the good work, Bill.
he had helped to get her promoted too....
finally, the phrase "Bye, Felicia!" will make more sense.
Yawn, just another useless, parasitic woke millennial
"I'm offended so you have to do what I say now!" - the Cancel Culture
@Brian Z Just because you got offended doesn't mean you're right.
I had a reputation for telling the truth at my place of employment. I also had a philosophy given to me by my first supervisor of "Do me a favor-fire me". I worked for this organization for 28 years, and as a contractor for almost 5 years after.
I felt that telling the truth was the only way to protect myself, even when surrounded by or supervised by liars. Documentation always helped. Asking questions was also a factor.
So spot on!❤
I'm a millennial and I agree with everything he said. At some point, these young people need to grow up and stop acting like moody children.
This frandmim was happy the read your post. Hope there are more who think like you
I’m a millennial as well and I agree.
I could say the same with some in our generation too. I hardly have the time to delegate to their insecurities and false outrage.
Our generation has always felt embarassing to be a part of. Even as a child I knew something was fucked up.
none of my friends are like that, but we had you know..... good parents.
Whenever I’m listening to Bill do his thing it gives me a bit of anxiety because I don’t know who’s gonna do it when he’s gone. Thanks for all do, Bill
I'll tell you who's doing it now and better. John Oliver.
Still like Bill but John is better.
As a conservative bloke, I find Bill’s critique of things these days right on point & piss funny! Keep it up mate 👍👍👍
@@ezg2000 bill's a hack comedian pushing his own centrism, john is actually informing... big difference.
@@paladro Bill has his good and bad points. I Really hated his take on action movies and violence. But Bill has his good takes like this and others.
But he's not in the league of John.
Felicia eerily sounds like my coworker who loves basking in the attention of making enemies out of everyone and then paint herself a martyr.
One of the best New Rules all year because it DOES encapsulate what's wrong with the major newspapers--who are really the only ones left breaking news stories. We depend on The New York Times, The Washington Post, and a handful of others to actually break stories, and they simply don't anymore because too many of them just scroll through Twitter looking for trends to write about OR only cover "MeToo" stories because those women in live in NYC/LA/DC and they can go meet them for lunch 3 minutes from their office.
I worked in Hollywood over 21 years and retired early last year because of this. Yeah, maybe I’m just getting old, but when companies like Netflix have a “Don’t look at your coworkers in the eyes for more than 5 minutes” rule, It’s beyond ridiculous. I’m done.
is that true? If so, what incident made them draw up that obviously daft rule? I can't even imagine the scenario.
Continuously? That would be weird
I feel your pain. Am thinking of relocating to a cabin far away in the woods. I would consider off grid but I love technology
@@cdrtej maybe i'm an too old millenial. But 5 minutes? That just a short time. And in my growing up days, if you dont look whom you speaking to, it would considered rude as like you are ignoring them.
Nowadays, boy....do i get confused in these "millenials" that i knew nothing of.
@@nfspbarrister5681 it's not the looking....it's the looking with wrong thought or implied wrong thought maybe hahaha
I’m a Millennial, and I thoroughly enjoyed this “New Rules” segment. Bill Maher is great! I may not agree with him 100% of the time (I don’t agree 100% of the time with anyone), but I’m a big fan. There are just way too many folks in my generation that cry about being offended and want to ruin someone’s life over offensive statements. And yet, too many don’t vote, don’t try to actually solve problems, and instead try to show how morally pure they are while causing major damage to our country. That’s not “fighting for social justice”. That’s just “being an asshole!” This cancel culture could wreck our democracy.
Btw, I’m not a Trump Republican, I’m a Liberal Democrat, but most importantly, a liberal democrat.
God forbid they would vote.
Yes! You gotta vote to get a say…otherwise STFU.
generational labeling is a lazy way out.
I'm 42 and I enjoyed this one too. People are so damn sensitive these days. Can't even take a joke anymore 💯💯💯💯
Well I would say ur way ahead of ur class! Cuz truth b told! N yes we R not goin 2 see 🙈 the lite 🕯️ 💡🤠 of day if this PLC GETS CANCELLED!
Bill is one of the smartest wittiest and on point comedians out there we all love you man!!!!...🤔😜💪🇺🇸🗽😎....🌉...
Thank you Mr. Maher.
When will people learn, you never apologize for the joke, because it shows them that you can be pushed around and they'll just keep coming after you no matter how much you apologize, beg or grovel. You have 2 choices, either don't make the joke in the first place or own it after its said. THAT'S IT, THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION!
I'm sure he just did it because they made him. Not such a good joke that it's worth being fired over.
She lost her job over it. He kept his job. So what’s the big deal? Wasn’t she punished in the end? And severely too.
A brat like that had it coming!
@@graceomalley4 She didn't lose the job because of the her direct stupid fight against the joke. She lost the job because she kept marching along. Don't you think the nonsense had to stop somewhere?
@@graceomalley4 homeboy was suspended without pay for a month over a funny joke retweet. Let’s see you say that 💩hit if you lose a month’s pay over something that benign!, smdh
She “considered him a friend”-In the shadow of her own self-absorption, she has no idea what a friend is…and likely has none because of it.
Uh, a real friend doesn't amplify a joke mocking the gender of his friend. It's so telling that everyone's vitriol if against her and not him. You're all brainwashed, misogynist sheep.
Maybe she meant as a friend she expected him to behave differently.
@@gevansmd1 wow, the fact that you hit send on your comment makes me wonder if you’re up past your bedtime…
In gevansmd1’s defense, trying to understand what she meant is not agreeing with that take. Let’s hope.
I sense a DIRECT correlation between her number of friends, and the number of MIRRORS in her home.🤦
BTW - Here’s a funny Father’s Day video done to the tune of The Beatles’ “Yesterday”.

"Blubber Tweeting"...new word for me, love it!
Amen Bill......There's a saying as I was growing up, that common sense is not as common as you'd expect. Today's actions and generation has almost made it extinct!!!!!!
"Democracy dies in dumbness." That's a beaut fer sure! I love it. Thirty thumbs up.
Meaning you should speak up.
@Nice Lady what’s that?
@Nice Lady oh thanks. I’ve worked it out! Yes. I think he is capable of being better than this. Too many years of being rich and selfish. He’s thoughtless now.
@@graceomalley4 Change the channel. No one is requiring you to listen. Complain all you want but you’re probably most annoyed at the truth behind it.
@Nice Lady interesting that you voluntarily watch material that has that effect on you. Try an emetic instead. 🤷♂️
"Yeah, Can you imagine a world that allows jokes you don't like!?" Epic Bill 👏👏👏 You nailed it again!
Agree! Also superb, “she raged with the fire of a thousand burning bras…”
@@irenemax3574 well, she's only in a trainer bra @ this point. 😉
@@irenemax3574I love #AwakenWithJP because of this kind of humor!
Holy Balls! I'm a gen x'er but battle this absurd, entitled, audacity with my kids. Love this take on it.
So good. I love you Bill Maher.
"For days, she raged with the fire of a thousand burning bras." 🤣
For me, that joke didn’t hit target simply because this lady’s actions don’t deserve the respect of being associated with the authentic, pre-millennial feminist movement.
This is much needed. The perpetually offended will take a harmless and fun joke and twist it into something that feeds their ego’s need for self-importance. Thank you, Bill, for saying it as it should be.
@DontTreadOnTeachers Yes. What's your point?
And these Washington Post twits have the audacity to call themselves journalists? No wonder they're not invited to sit at the table with the grown-ups! 🤣
These people are NARCISSIST! A 75% generation of NARCISSISTs are coming!
That joke was pretty funny, too bad they didn't fire back with a better one on men.
The post can slip into the ocean and never come back as far as I am concerned.
Excellent analysis, mr. Maher.
Australian bumper sticker: "Hire a teenager, they know everything!"
Exactly.
The greatest mistake we made in the last 20 years was inventing things like Twitter, which gives every imbecile a microphone.
Well done Bill. 🙌
No. the mistake was accepting journalists to take their takes from there and not speak up against it. Any "journalist" that takes a story from twitter as source, should have been immediately fired.
@@ichbinfranke5152 no he’s right social media fucked ourselves back instead of forwards
@@flightkidd123 No, he's not right. They did the same shit on tumblr, but nobody gave a shiett because the Brooklynbased Karens that call themselves "jOuRnAlIsTs" didnt write about it all the time.
Couldn’t agree more.
True that!!!
100% agree, but also remember this 1 key thing. Bill's generation raised my generation.
Bill Maher I love what you say and the way you say it Brilliant 👍
Bill is spitting facts. I'm a millennial business owner, and I'm apprehensive about hiring other millennials due to past experiences.
i know what you mean. zoomers are the worst employees. tho.. lol they are coming up way worse than millenials.. they will be worse.. they are super sensitive..and everything comes down to you being a 'hater'
@minij hooi did you know that that isn't relevant, at all? hahaha like Jesus dude. we dont live in a war torn country you dummy!
@@myroo7572 damn, it almost like they're youngXD like comon, that's what has been saying about young people for decades. like boy, go learn yourself and get some context before you talk on things. also, the internet is a horrible parent and its what many people were raised on by their lazy/economically struggling parents. like really id blame the lack of regulation on corporation that were established in the 80's. There you can see were the roots of many of our economic issues really established their roots. The lack of regulation on social media paired with a struggling middle class has done unthinkable damage to the fabric of our nation. The algorithms employed by Zuckerberg have been shown to cause hyper factionalism and easy outrage in populations for decades. pair that with parents who have to spend more time at work and niot raise their kids mixed together in a hyper competitive container and welll. yea, its not healthy
@@silentortoise3627 well said.
everything is also binary with young gen, and with the internet ... like..or dislike.. thumbs up..or down... goat..or trash.. stanning and idolizing people is worse than ever.
@@myroo7572 yea, boy girl, man woman, black white, I cant believe people might ever think in binaries! HAHAHA Its not binaries, its being raised on the internet and sites that use polarization to gain views. Plus I have aunts, uncles and grandparents that are just as ridiculous, they just ant online to share their opinions as much and are better at social protocol in real life. I have seen this: people who came of age in the pandemic had some major disruption in their social development.
“Perpetually offended”, that’s a good one.
You sir are a beacon of light in an otherwise endless darkness of misguided, offended, millennial, wokeism.
Please don’t change.
Mr Maher, where have you been all my life😍 we seem to share a mental 🧬. Content is Brilliant

@@ThinkBeFree99 Florida is a place of constant flooding and building collapse. Miami had a lot of condos that had collapsed or folded due to natural disaster and climate change. Remember the one last year with nearly 100 dying?
Give em hell Bill . As we get older we naturally get more concervative , I turn 58 next month and on some stuff I'm to the left of Bernie but yeah starting to get a little burnt out on the woke shit . Keep up the good work.
Both extremes are nuts right and left . That's why 5hey are extreme
@@aaronclay4665 Exactly!
57-year old Welshman living in Brunei here, absolutely agree with you Billy! I believe in Capitalism and democracy, but also, Social Welfare and responsibility! I just wish more Americans knew the difference between 'Socialism' and 'Social Democracy'!
BS we get more liberal bc we want & need Medicare & social security😳
@@aaronclay4665 what is normal but the midpoint between two extremes
Bill is ONE of the very few reasons I subscribe to HBO. But I have saluted HBO for not bowing to any pressure to can him.
Gotta give Bill this, he’s willing to call a spade a spade when he sees one, even in his own pack. I’m a conservative and he mirrored my thoughts exactly on this issue. With verbal eloquence I might add.
Dude, Bill is basically a conservative at this point.
@@orlandoshaw9503 If he was conservative, he wouldn't be bagging on the right, he's more center than left or right
I know, SCARY isn't it? It's like, he's grown up! LOL!! But Seriously, he's been on the mark a WHOLE LOT MORE in recent time! and it's a GOOD thing!
What’s scarier than that is that today’s left, will one day be tomorrow’s right. Let that sink in a minute.
@@orlandoshaw9503
If he was conservative, he wouldnt be employed at hbo ... he is a propagandist in the guise of a comedian.
I have not listen to Bill in years but this was too good to pass up. Do not hear the truth very often and this lifted by spirits. Thank you.
“The unlicensed daycare center that is today’s newsroom went apesh*t.” - Bill Maher 😆
Bill has been doing nothing but spitting truth in the last year or so, he's the voice of common sense when the world has gone insane, black is white and white is black these days and it's getting really really dangerous.. loving Bill Maher , and thanking him ..and making you laugh these days is a feat in itself.
@@mariamaria2751 did you catch him try to overlook the truth about the 2020 stock market crash? He felt like an extension of MSM at that point. Saying stimmy checks was the reason why we have inflation. What a crock of shit
@@Stevenhiggles yeah he still has his head in the sand on many issues like inflation. Deficit spending and creating more cash causes inflation that is basically a tax. Sure they got that 15$ hour minimum wage snd kicked everyone into a higher tax bracket. Then inflation devalues the money you already have forcing you to pay more for everything hence also more government revenue. It's a win win for greedy government.
Bill is speaking truth when it comes to SJW extremism but he totally avoids the larger problems of the political corruption of both parties because of the huge amount of corporate influence.
Great video! Grand parents appalled you Bill.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm 75. When I was a kid we had to write with chalk on slates. The worst part was that we had to climb onto the roof to get them.
The really sad part is that had the paper told her to get over it or quit she would be able to sue them using hostile workplace as a reason. This problem started a long time ago when harassment was defined as anything that makes someone feel uncomfortable and situations like this are now the result.
Correct. Wokes have changed the meaning of many words & now anything they dislike is either hate speech or harassment. Interestingly, this only ever applies to a select class of people (that they've pre-determined to be from the "oppressed" category). Then, even if a white straight male is being subjected to objective harassment & bullying, his claim of that will likely be dismissed.
@@axnyslie I really wish that were true but I have learned that you can be the biggest workplace cancer and still find a job. Eventually she will be hired by a place that shares her SJW overly sensitive soapbox views.
She was told not to disparage her co-workers on Twitter. That is why she was fired and this isn't her first offence.
Because that is not the way to tell it. You don’t tell her she should change her emotional makeup. There is no thought crime or feel crime. You tell her what to do and what not to do. Like not harassing her colleagues. And you can ask from employers to be somewhat careful with their words. They have power over people and their salaries.
Nailed it.
This is the best Maher segment I've heard in a few weeks. Great job.
He was on fire, I could not agree with you more
*Note to self: Primo says don't bother watching Maher's other videos?*
THE BEST Real Time … I listen to Bill with my coffee and I laughed sooo hard … coffee was a bad idea!
Bill has swallowed the red pill. He’s awesome.
I have to say Bill nailed it! He is right......Sadly our democracy is dying in dumbness.
Especially when you consider that your ONCE-GREAT NATION, with it's Wonderful Constitution - IS ACTUALLY a REPUBLIC! Your VERY WISE FOUNDERS gave the U S A, A WONDERFUL WAY to conduct your country! I am now 75 - and fondly remember, WAAAAY back when, your schools had assembly every morning before Classes - where kids pledged allegiance to your flag, and sang your National Anthem! I remember when kids were taught about your Constitutional Rights and your Civic/civil Rights - when kids were PROUD to BE American. WE were taught about your Constitution here in Canada back then - as a very good template for a decent society! Now, schools across our North American Continent, teach NONE of that! How sad - how pathetic. Hitler, Stalin and currently the Chinese Communist Party - along with other evil entities, like the W E F, are Juuuuust Fine with teaching our children about RACISM, Gay pride, 72 genders, Victimology, ALL police are bad, parents are now referred to as "Birth person" and what - Sperm Donor? How LOW will our North American Continent FALL - do you think? Before people WAKE UP to what is really happening here? God Bless.
Yes, because dummies like Maher still have a platform.
They’ll just blame racism and white supremacy
Not just by these fragile cowards, but by a party who hates democracy.
Nah, the left will get murdered in the coming elections and hopefully drop the hyper divisive poison they've been pushing the past twenty years.
You know, what is most awful about this situation is that while I knew about this story, EVERY SINGLE news outlet I read described Weigel's retweet as a "sexist joke", without giving ANY clue as to what the joke actually was. Now that I know what it was, all I can say is wow, how the HELL do we rely on this media as the "guardian angel" of democracy?
The media, today, is off the rails. Especially, the left. No objectivity. They make me sick with their emotion driven half truths.
I've also noticed this. The outlet reports on the story but never gives the reader details. You cannot know what was said and make up your own mind about whether or not it was as bad as they are telling you ought to think it is.
Well, if you read about it on social media, the goal is to make you click on the link and go to the website. The problem with the quality of journalism nowadays is precisely social media. You have to do everything for the likes and retweets and so on. Quality doesn't matter anymore, all you need is engagement, and making people curious enough to go the website where you see ads and so on. People don't like to pay for good journalism, so we shouldn't wonder it's going downhill. They rely on other users in the comment section instead of reading the article or look up the tweet themselves (which takes 1 minute) . The news outlets also probably didn't repeat the joke because it could be a policy not to repeat "offensive" stuff.
Regarding the joke itself: It is true that both sexes are frustrated with each other and make jokes about each other. But they still don't have the same political power. They are not equal. Women have been banned from political participation because they were considered "hysterical" for a very long time. So I can understand this joke may not sound funny to everyone. But Felicia definitely overreacted. You have to pick your battles.
Clearly you need to get your news from different media outlets. There are plenty of independent news media that carried this Fellatio Somnez story, with the full joke, from day one.
Keep it up Bill, you are the only on who still have some sense left
*Never* apologize!
I am a woman but an old woman who found that joke actually funny.... why is it so hard to laugh today
Well, you are not a snowflake. You are strong enough to laugh at a stupid joke.
You laughed because it IS funny.
@@Dbb27 That's what i was gonna say. How's that not funny to anyone. If it was a female saying that about guys I'd still think it's hilarious. That's just a clever joke.

"Emotional hemophilia" is a phrase I need to remember and use accordingly. Still, it's sad that this happened with WaPo.
It is equally sad you haven't noticed WaPo has been a bird cage liner at best for years.
@@warrenp8877 To be fair, most people won't notice something is wrong with the thing that goes by the same name as a thing from their past that used to be good. Think video games and Blizzard. They used to be one of the best game companies in the world, showed with every moment and every game that they cared about the players, had a good sense of humor, and genuinely made content that was not designed purely for profit. They designed a product that was good, and the profit followed. Somewhere along the lines, people got confused as to why they made money, and they said to themselves "It must be mathematically X+Y=Profit" and then they went to trying to figure out the equation when they already had the answer.
Moral of the story is, people today still believe Blizzard is a good company. They are still fans of their work. They still love the products... but they are really in love with the shell of what used to be inside that company, not what it has metamorphized into. They won't be able to change their mind unless they are able to remove the rose-tinted glasses and look at it clearly to see what it has become. And most people are not willing to do that.
@@Bancheis No argument here. It is like the mother who refuses to believe her kid is the real trouble maker but times a few million.
