There's a shocking reality that doesn't get much air these days- that to be on the left doesn't automatically mean you're a liberal. And certainly not woke.
Scary isn’t it. I do have to say at least Bill is good at making his points with critical thinking skills. I don’t agree with many of his conclusions, but not agreeing with someone and not wanting to banish them is what’s made this country great.
Right. "Uhhhh....can I clap for this? Is, uh, someone going to notice? I don't want to be seen as one of the connnnnnnservatives! Or, even worse....a supporter of Truuuump!" They are all about conformity on the Left far more than on the Right.
You have to remember that Hawaii was taken over -- annexed -- by the US. It became westernized slowly before that as well, once they were discovered by western ships, so all those things you would consider appropriation were already forced onto that indigenous islandic population.

@@todd-617 those people are true suckers in politics. Truly i feel bad for them be it republican or liberal. Each human on the planet belonging to any country should support the party which is overall better for the country. But now days mostly "liberal party in America is filled with these suckers who believe anything their party leaders tell them" . And in the past Liberals used to make fun of how republicans believe in some dumb book called bible(which some of them still do). But i would choose" to believe that bible side now rather stand with thise woke/gen Z people who born just recently and they think they frigin own the planet and now they want to change the past?

One of the problems is that you Americans call actual marxists and socialists "liberals". Most of them has nothing do to with liberalism. Conservatives and liberals are not opposites of each others. Opposite of conservative is radical while opposite of liberal is authoritarian/totalitarian. What Bill said was correct, this woke culture reminds us of Stalin and SU. Radical views and only one acceptable truth. Conservatives and liberals should both be against this madness.
Except "the wall" part. If you think wall is bad, try opening your front door at night and let the homeless people in. It's the same thing on a way larger scale.
As a Greek I’m offended that the entire world has stolen our culture by competing in the Olympics! Edit* this was sarcasm and making fun of people who complain about culture appropriation. Greeks are proud of how our culture has changed the world.

Im glad Bill is calling a lot of these types out.. they are a joke..
Yes?!!!!!!! Lol .. they don't know how to have their own thought, to used to spewing over being offended by everything.. basically Bill is trashing the narratives that they buy into and normally he does for the most part too so awkward isn't it lol?

Unfortunate in what way? Conservatism typically marches leftward over time. What is unfortunate, IMO, is that "liberal" has also moved leftward ~ so much so that it has become completely restrictive and unreasonable to an extreme. Bill highlights this quite well.
And modern woke, morally righteous, "cancel anything I don't agree with" liberals have usurped the 1980's "Religious Right" mentality. If you watch "Donny Darko" these days, the woke left would fill in for the activist religious right wingers now-a-days. Liberals will likely start the Prohibition movement in the next 10 years I assume.
It’s ridiculous for Maher to call this garbage out now when he and his ilk in the media, academia and Democratic Party only have themselves to blame for the monsters they’ve created. And if he really hates this “progressive” cultural Marxism, I’d love to see what the shill has to say about his precious Democrats who’ve been facilitating and encouraging the absurdity this whole damn time. Oh, that’s right. His script can’t stray too far away from his daily “Democrats are trying so hard to do the right thing but Republican man bad” routine. The “I thought walls were bad” line with the orange man bad picture really stood out to me in this regard, and just reaffirms the farce that is the mainstream media. I find it hard to believe Maher and the MSM outlets are too ignorant or forgetful to remember the Obama administration, including the Messiah himself and the usual suspects like Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, and others were all in favor of a “southern barrier” as recent as 2014, just months before orange man bad racist announced his border platform. The media should be tried for treason in respect to their supposed function.

They're not the straight SJW wokesters. They would view him as alt right. It's more like the norms that pay attention only to CNN and MSNBC and don't put much thought into what it is they're being told to think and where it comes from even though they almost certainly feel uneasy about it. I remember feeling like that in the 90s. As an actual liberal (not a Democrat or progressive) I just had more and more cognitive dissonance about these new PC ideas that almost seemed antithetical to actually liberalism. At some point you have to say, regardless of what the almost unified media and Hollywood tell you, something is just not right.
Bill Maher's relationship to his live audience is so cringeworthy. I wish someone would sit him down and say 'ok boomer' , people do not respond the same way they did in 1980 to punchlines. He has been doing that for the past 15 years ,and it is SO FUCKING AWKWARD. Bill take it easy... your audience is half your age anymore, and it is okay if you don't get the exact laugh that you think you should get at the exact moment. OR actually get funny instead of snarky, and the applause can be more predictable.

@Timothy Davidson Conservatives tried to cancel our country because they lost an election ffs. They have no legs to stand on. Tried cancelling the Smurfs claiming they promoted communism. Tried cancelling pornography. They've been the cancel culturists for all time, but it's recently now spreading on the left and now it's a real problem. It's also extremely overexaggerated. The whole Dr. Seuss thing was not from any pressure from the left. It was a business decision by the Dr. Seuss Foundation, and most of us didn't even know about it until the right freaked out over it. I personally think they wanted it like that, to get 6 books which aren't selling and get these people to buy them up before they get discontinued. Brilliant strategy. Any business out there that's in trouble, just pretend the left is trying to cancel your products and watch the right-wingers flood to your store or website and buy it all up just to show those pesky cancel culture, SJW, snowflake libtards! Also, you have incidents where Nike has Colin Kaepernick do commercials and they try to cancel them by burning their own Nike's. A company that makes coolers took away a discount to NRA members and they reacted by blowing up their expensive coolers. lmfao Bill Maher's focus on the left is playing right into these people's hands. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a point, but you'd think it's solely a left-wing thing, when it's worse and always has been on the right.
A lot of talk the last 5 years or so about Civil War too on the right, which really is just code for genocide. Cancelling people that you disagree with because you can't beat them in elections. I'll pass on playing into their hands, thanks!
But he always still comes back to the same conclusion: republicans are bad, vote Democrat. He spent months saying that Hillary was awful and stole the nomination but still could not comprehend how anyone voted for Trump. Some just felt he was the lesser of two evils. Its not that difficult. But he never sees it.
Media and Politicians go along with it for ratings or votes. Liberals/Progressives don't allow them to hi jack free thinking. Conservatives using it as revenge only favors them to keep doing it. Colleges was their Bedrock now Social Media released the monsters out. Activists are embedded everywhere.
Absolutely bang on. Twitter is a tiny percentage of people that like to stand on a soap box with their viewpoint and have their echo chambers. It is either lazy journalism or complete abdication of journalistic prudence to report stuff that is trending on twitter as proof of public thought. Its a joke but people get taken in by it.
When did we start taking Twitter and fakebook seriously? We let the twice impeached last moron in office use Twitter nonsense to govern. It is for entertainment purposes only. Our government is too important for that useless crap. STOP IT
He's right on the money, as you commented, however, he will STILL vote dem every time. He's a hypocrite to the nth degree and always will be, no matter how stupid his party has become and is still evolving as even more stupid, if that's possible.
Bill's starting to really separate from his audience. He's beginning to sound too "conservative" for them. The way he said "Where did we get this crowd?" Reminds me of when Christopher Hitchens came on and blasted his audience and gave them the finger.
Which is a shame, because the woke "left" is about as far from being progressive as you can get. Progressivism of my generation was about making life better for everyone including marginalized groups, with a focus on marginalized groups. The modern woke movement is about attacking anyone who is not marginalized. The woke movement's trans ideology stands against the feminism that has been a trademark of the left for over half a century. And critical race theory just teaches that it is okay to be racist against whites (which is racism...) My generation's progressive left pushed for worker rights and stronger protections at work. Gen Z's woke left pushes to get workers fired if they don't go along with absolutely asinine belief systems.
Bill is a relentless proponent of good thinking. That puts him pretty much outside of current American politics altogether. I feel like there’s a rational center where many of us can meet. I think the future of the country pretty much depends on it.
You know he doesn't ever claim to be a “moderate” or “in the middle”... he is a liberal, what a liberal has been and should be and you are correct, liberalism is good thinking.
@@corvus2512 Bill Maher represents what liberalism use to be before it was carjacked and weaponized by the far left who IMO are much more in line with totalitarians than with liberals. One of the ideals supported by liberalism is to have open debate, freedom of thought and speech, and civil discourse (on college campuses) especially with those with whom we disagree. . .If you listen you may find that today a majority of conservatives and independents support the very same thing. So Liberals don't own a monopoly on "good thinking". You just need the willingness to listen and reason without bashing one another and find 'Common Sense' actions to addressing real problems... like including surfboarding in the Olympics.
I always liked Bill Maher's integrity. He doesn't just go to with the Liberal flow, but sticks to his principles. I don't agree with many of his views, but I applaud his courage to speak his mind in the face of "Wokeness".
If you believe Bill has such integrity, then you weren’t watching him during 2016-2020. That being said, I am glad that one lefty in showbiz who has a decently large platform is resisting the cult-like behaviour of the modern left.

Only occasionally does he make sense. He is still a leftist on most things. And he continues to deny that the democrat party has become full communist control & censure fanatics.
What if EVERY black country and ONLY black countries were being flooded with a never ending stream of millions of non-blacks? What if EVERY single black town and school were force integrated?

@@Gogetta80 I think Bill's delivery was partly to blame. When he started with the Olympics, I was thinking of Simone Biles, not the composer of whatever. If the audience was thinking the same, they were inferring Bill was giving justice there an ok before launching into something else. On the 2nd time, it's something Bill does a lot, where he uses no inflection to distinguish making an point and being sarcastic. Getting people to applaud on queue requires some kind of queue to prepare them. That's why most talk show monologues are so formulaic.

There can’t be only one opinion because both sides should be able to bring common sense, sanity and productive ideas to the table also recognize there can be another way of thinking to help the people not for the few who seem to be causing the chaos.

@@LissaBroyles crazy times we're living in where up is down and down is up and whoever throws the loudest tantrums based on their feeling is automatically right regardless of facts, truth or our God given constitutional rights🤷
Seeing things like this actually gives me hope. Maher has always been thought of as very liberal but actually he is just very reasonable. I think more and more people from both sides are starting to creep towards the middle. Let's hope this continues for the sake of our people, our country, our world and our souls.

Yeah, and that’s why I have mixed feelings about him. He probably contributed to the culture we are currently experiencing and now it’s like he is having some kind of epiphany where he regrets it to some degree and is trying to backpedal to a place where he could tell edgy jokes without threat of cancellation. Bill made a fortune off of being controversial.
@@josephbrown9685 yeah, he was all about calling everyone that didn't agree with democrats racist/sexist whatever, except outside of criticizing Islam. He's finally realized his time, as a white straight male, is potentially limited.
@Shawn Brink nah, I’ve been following him for a while. He’s agreeing with conservatives more and more. And not bc he’s changing, the left is just becoming radicalized so it’s refreshing to see a Democrat not make every take along party lines. So, it’s not that we want him to be a conservative, we just don’t want him to be one these sickos that think 1/6 was worse than attacking and murdering innocent civilians, that don’t have anything to do with anything, setting fires everywhere and looting stores, all in the name of racial justice lol.
@Shawn Brink what has never happened? I made several statements. Of course he hates trump and of course he thinks 1/6 was a bigger deal than it actually was. That’s fine. That’s just being a dem. But he’s not really with the wokeness. That’s the key. And right now, that’s a rare find among leftists.
He needs to bring back the audience reaction shots that he used last year. At least then he could get people to laugh at the right time and not have his feelings hurt.
It will not end except at the bottom of mass graves. It has been going since the 1940's and has only been gaining momentum. It grows on guilt, shame and non-action. People trying to hide from it just make it worse. Take action. Write a letter to your representative. Talk to people about the evil that is 'woke' culture. It's real name is post modernism.
It’s like 50% of the show is Bill wrestling with the audience, as the audience claps for his sarcasm, and hesitates to clap for his points. Lecturing progressives on when good intentions go too far, has been Bill’s pulpit for a while…
Some Greeks do. There are people who will bitch about anything. Heck, I've seen Greeks complaining about being called Greeks rather than Hellenes, considering the former to be a demeaning exonym made up by their Roman oppressors. The important thing is to not automatically assume their bitching is valid because that's their lived experience or whatever they want to call it.
That audience creeps me out…honestly, nothing Bill said here warranted hysterical laughter, nothing about this is funny, it’s fucking serious in my opinion and he made some very good points!
It is creepy. Its probably that old school TV type stuff where they have a bright "applause" sign and "laughter" sign flashing when they are supposed to react. No way you're going to get dozens of people to naturally erupt in huge belly laughs like that

Yeah, but Bill has also been a far leftist for a long time now. So it's a little ironic that he has only noticed the fruits of his own party's labor when it's becoming too late.
Wes Niman lol. Don't be so sure about your interpretation. I see it as: 1. audience clap because he points to cancellation. 2. Btw, you can say these things in Stalin Russia with no problem. It things actually even were encouraged. Word like Pigathleate would come from Stalin's playbook. 3. Well, Hawaii seems just came up to capitalist terms and want to trademark their national sport.

Scary isn’t it. I do have to say at least Bill is good at making his points with critical thinking skills. I don’t agree with many of his conclusions, but not agreeing with someone and not wanting to banish them is what’s made this country great.
I am dumbfounded at myself, I usually yell at the computer when I watch him. But he is on point with this monologue.
The fact his audience is reacting like they don’t know what to do speaks volumes.

You have to remember that Hawaii was taken over -- annexed -- by the US. It became westernized slowly before that as well, once they were discovered by western ships, so all those things you would consider appropriation were already forced onto that indigenous islandic population. Modern medicines would not have existed if it weren't for the accumulated knowledge from appropriated ancient & ongoing medicines from around the world.

One of the problems is that you Americans call actual marxists and socialists "liberals". Most of them has nothing do to with liberalism. Conservatives and liberals are not opposites of each others.

Bill's type of "liberal "is now considered conservative unfortunately.
Unfortunate in what way? Conservatism typically marches leftward over time. What is unfortunate, IMO, is that "liberal" has also moved leftward ~ so much so that it has become completely restrictive and unreasonable to an extreme. Bill highlights this quite well.
And modern woke, morally righteous, "cancel anything I don't agree with" liberals have usurped the 1980's "Religious Right" mentality. If you watch "Donny Darko" these days, the woke left would fill in for the activist religious right wingers now-a-days. Liberals will likely start the Prohibition movement in the next 10 years I assume.
It’s ridiculous for Maher to call this garbage out now when he and his ilk in the media, academia and Democratic Party only have themselves to blame for the monsters they’ve created. And if he really hates this “progressive” cultural Marxism, I’d love to see what the shill has to say about his precious Democrats who’ve been facilitating and encouraging the absurdity this whole damn time.
Oh, that’s right. His script can’t stray too far away from his daily “Democrats are trying so hard to do the right thing but Republican man bad” routine.
The “I thought walls were bad” line with the orange man bad picture really stood out to me in this regard, and just reaffirms the farce that is the mainstream media. I find it hard to believe Maher and the MSM outlets are too ignorant or forgetful to remember the Obama administration, including the Messiah himself and the usual suspects like Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, and others were all in favor of a “southern barrier” as recent as 2014, just months before orange man bad racist announced his border platform.

@Timothy Davidson Conservatives tried to cancel our country because they lost an election ffs. They have no legs to stand on. Tried cancelling the Smurfs claiming they promoted communism. Tried cancelling pornography. They've been the cancel culturists for all time, but it's recently now spreading on the left and now it's a real problem. It's also extremely overexaggerated. The whole Dr. Seuss thing was not from any pressure from the left. It was a business decision by the Dr. Seuss Foundation, and most of us didn't even know about it until the right freaked out over it. I personally think they wanted it like that, to get 6 books which aren't selling and get these people to buy them up before they get discontinued. Brilliant strategy.
Any business out there that's in trouble, just pretend the left is trying to cancel your products and watch the right-wingers flood to your store or website and buy it all up just to show those pesky cancel culture, SJW, snowflake libtards!
Also, you have incidents where Nike has Colin Kaepernick do commercials and they try to cancel them by burning their own Nike's. A company that makes coolers took away a discount to NRA members and they reacted by blowing up their expensive coolers. lmfao Bill Maher's focus on the left is playing right into these people's hands. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a point, but you'd think it's solely a left-wing thing, when it's worse and always has been on the right.
A lot of talk the last 5 years or so about Civil War too on the right, which really is just code for genocide. Cancelling people that you disagree with because you can't beat them in elections. I'll pass on playing into their hands, thanks!

Blame Twitter. Journalists take Twitter too seriously, and report what trends on it as if it's actual news.

Which is a shame, because the woke "left" is about as far from being progressive as you can get. Progressivism of my generation was about making life better for everyone including marginalized groups, with a focus on marginalized groups. The modern woke movement is about attacking anyone who is not marginalized. The woke movement's trans ideology stands against the feminism that has been a trademark of the left for over half a century. And critical race theory just teaches that it is okay to be racist against whites (which is racism...) My generation's progressive left pushed for worker rights and stronger protections at work. Gen Z's woke left pushes to get workers fired if they don't go along with absolutely asinine belief systems.
Bill is a relentless proponent of good thinking. That puts him pretty much outside of current American politics altogether. I feel like there’s a rational center where many of us can meet. I think the future of the country pretty much depends on it.
I agree. Bill isn't all one way or the other. His points about culture mixing was well do done and funny.
Based on how he lambastes Republicans more then democrats makes him more left than right
You know he doesn't ever claim to be a “moderate” or “in the middle”... he is a liberal, what a liberal has been and should be and you are correct, liberalism is good thinking.
Definitely!
@@corvus2512 Bill Maher represents what liberalism use to be before it was carjacked and weaponized by the far left who IMO are much more in line with totalitarians than with liberals.
One of the ideals supported by liberalism is to have open debate, freedom of thought and speech, and civil discourse (on college campuses) especially with those with whom we disagree. . .If you listen you may find that today a majority of conservatives and independents support the very same thing. So Liberals don't own a monopoly on "good thinking". You just need the willingness to listen and reason without bashing one another and find 'Common Sense' actions to addressing real problems... like including surfboarding in the Olympics.
This audience really doesn’t know when to respond with applause.
That’s what the applause sign is for
Newfound respect for Bill Maher. Keep up the good work man ! Call out stupidity and hypocracy where you see it. Right or Left.
I always liked Bill Maher's integrity. He doesn't just go to with the Liberal flow, but sticks to his principles. I don't agree with many of his views, but I applaud his courage to speak his mind in the face of "Wokeness".
Fuck wokeness!! Stand up to cultural Marxists who want to destroy our culture through cancelling every damn thing!!
If you believe Bill has such integrity, then you weren’t watching him during 2016-2020. That being said, I am glad that one lefty in showbiz who has a decently large platform is resisting the cult-like behaviour of the modern left.

Well said bro, my sentiments exactly
@@MrB00mbang I think Bill is slowing waking up. The insanity of the Left has finally gotten too much, even for him.
Bill Maher continuing his hot streak. It’s important that he does segments like this. His audience needs it dearly.

Yeah it's sad that it's had to come to this.
And he's one of the few who says it.
Common sense isn't really that common after all
Except about the fences. Child trafficking, smuggling etc etc.

It's funny how unenthusiastic the audience is to Bill's humor and non-woke good sense. It's like they've gone to the wrong show!
If he's not blasting a trump or some other republican it's like the audience has no idea how to react
They just want him to attack Donald Trump, Qanon-ers, anti vaxxers and people like that. When he goes after the racist bullies on the left they have to think critically for once. they also have to be brave in a sense..... should i cheer or will i be branded a racist for cheering / laughing at this joke? im 36, much younger than maher and habe very similar beliefs. (im a registered independent because i thought the democratic party was too right when i was 18 years old) but now i feel like people think im a right wing, racist asshole because i dont regurgitate the BLM / anti - racist propaganda. Its sad how much those people have divided us.
SO GLAD YOU'RE BRINGING THIS TO THE LIGHT!
You know there's a problem when the audience don't know when to laugh and feel guilty when they do.
His show would work better without an audience. He doesn’t do gags, and the laughter seems forced. The audience is trying to please

I don't give Maher a lot of credit for finally catching up with what many of us have been saying since 2016 or so, and earlier in cases. Nonetheless, better late than never.

Maher is one of the GOOD presenters out there. He says the facts and lets people make their own decisions. His comments are made up of common sense with a flash of sarcasm. Keep it up.
Only occasionally does he make sense. He is still a leftist on most things. And he continues to deny that
the democrat party has become full communist control & censure fanatics.
Dang, Bill is right on. It's refreshing to hear someone who has some common sense!
What if EVERY black country and ONLY black countries were being flooded with a never ending stream of millions of non-blacks?
What if EVERY single black town and school were force integrated?

It isn't something to laugh about but his audience loves him and want to please..ipsofacto awkward laughs
@@Gogetta80 Stop generalising.
@@Gogetta80 I think Bill's delivery was partly to blame. When he started with the Olympics, I was thinking of Simone Biles, not the composer of whatever. If the audience was thinking the same, they were inferring Bill was giving justice there an ok before launching into something else. On the 2nd time, it's something Bill does a lot, where he uses no inflection to distinguish making an point and being sarcastic. Getting people to applaud on queue requires some kind of queue to prepare them. That's why most talk show monologues are so formulaic.
I’m a conservative and love the common sense bill Maher speaks. There can’t be only one opinion because both sides should be able to bring common sense, sanity and productive ideas to the table also recognize there can be another way of thinking to help the people not for the few who seem to be causing the chaos.
As a conservative I can appreciate this guy basically on point and a reminder that we can listen to one another without prejudice.
Refreshingly American!!.
I agree…too bad too many people don’t want to hear opposing views…the ones who are indoctrinated to a narrative and refuse to even listen 🤷♂️
Hitting the nail on the head. Thanks.
Bill Maher is one of the last liberals in media that I actually still love. He’s awesome. I don’t always agree with him, but at least he’s not a little baby demanding everyone he disagrees with should be canceled.
Amen! True liberals don't cancel anyone. It's not liberal lol
Amen--I'm a fiscal conservative but ride the middle on social issues and many times, Bill and I don't see eye-to-eye, but this clip had me cheering as he has never been more right.
As a Conservative, I agree. Being free sometimes means you get your feelings hurt - but you’re still free. BM gets that.
That's partially because he knows what it feels like to be "cancelled" and viewed in the blink of an eye as a pariah.
Bill has become a bit douchey and the 1950's G-man look has got to go.
Wherever truth is spoken it must be applauded. Huzzah Bill.

No, not scary; reassuring. Though Billy still suffers from TDS at least he recognizes the Left has tried to appropriated 'words-of-reason'. Their plans are destroying us.
The funniest thing was when the crowd started clapping about finding "bad" people in the Olympics 🤣🤣

Thank you Bill, the old Liberal voice of reason! You, thank God, although your politics haven't changed, your speech is what Republicans are talking about, sanity in politics!
Its to bad you actually have to say "im not conservative" just to have a perfectly normal conversation that goes slightly outside left norms. Why cant we just be people with ideas and not forced into 2 buckets
most people are moderate, it's the woke people and the Jan 6 people that are the problem.
@@rrdream2400 also social media killed nuance
To be fair, you also cannot say "I'm a liberal" and expect an honest discussion about America being secular in a rural conservative dominionist-Christian town. America is plagued by its bipolar political climate and it's not going anywhere in the foreseeable future.
@@eriklakeland3857 I agree, 24 hour news hasn't helped either, either slant. To the OP's point, you shouldn't have to say "I'm not liberal, but what happened Jan 6 was a disgrace".

Personally I loved half of what Trump did but hated the other half and voted against him. yet I can see why people voted for him. But can't see why they broke into the Capitol to fight for him.

I think that the audience reacts by command. They tell them when to laugh, how loud, for how long, etc.
@@chrisoakley5830 Scarier than that is that when the audience did react, they did so with applause. Because the *cultural norm* is to applaud, and they therefore had to conform to that whether they agreed with him or not.

I would like to see the Greeks getting really mad for the whole world appropriating their games.
Greeks are pissed that the whole world appropriates the games. They want the Olympics to be held in Greece every four years.
Some Greeks do. There are people who will bitch about anything. Heck, I've seen Greeks complaining about being called Greeks rather than Hellenes, considering the former to be a demeaning exonym made up by their Roman oppressors. The important thing is to not automatically assume their bitching is valid because that's their lived experience or whatever they want to call it.
Actually - The modern day Olympics was created by a Frenchman and a Welshman.
They should be mad at the USA for appropriating democracy, and make an absolute mess out of it.
LMAO
You can tell this audience is highly conflicted
The npc’s having difficulty with their programming. Not sure if supposed to clap if joke was not about #orangemanbad
Most of them are probably millennials and he didn't pamper their fee-fees, of course they get upset.
They did seem conflicted... "Hey, is he talking about us?" 🤔😲
Sjw momos, no surprise there.
That audience creeps me out…honestly, nothing Bill said here warranted hysterical laughter, nothing about this is funny, it’s fucking serious in my opinion and he made some very good points!
It is creepy. Its probably that old school TV type stuff where they have a bright "applause" sign and "laughter" sign flashing when they are supposed to react. No way you're going to get dozens of people to naturally erupt in huge belly laughs like that
In fairness most things bill maher says isn’t funny. Maybe they thought they were watching an actual comedian and didn’t realize until too late
Just like when canadian prime minister said he admired the chinese for their commusist dictatorship, everyone claps and the women gawk in admiration.
@@Dookieryan he's the same idiot who wished America would go into a recession just so Trump would lose.... Yeah the audiences laughed at that too.... Hundreds of Americans losing their jobs and committing suicide and getting evicted and foreclosed on.... Yeah that's real comedic and funny stuff
@DeChane Cam lol yeah hilarious wishing people lose their jobs and life savings and their children's colleges funds and 401Ks.... Yeah that humor flew over my head.... Yeah I guess I'm not smart enough like you callous cold hearted millennials who couldn't care less about the world and the welfare of others and only care about how many likes you get on your Instagram.... Yeah I guess I'm not as sophisticated.
Canada needs a version of Bill. Been watching him since politically incorrect.
0:33 - Audience doesn’t detect sarcasm and legit claps for canceling people.
2:25 - Bill declares cancel culture an insanity that has swept the world. Crickets.
Poor Bill. He’s got a lot of work ahead of him to rehabilitate his people.
Yeah, but Bill has also been a far leftist for a long time now. So it's a little ironic that he has only noticed the fruits of his own party's labor when it's becoming too late.
Wes Niman lol. Don't be so sure about your interpretation. I see it as: 1. audience clap because he points to cancellation.
2. Btw, you can say these things in Stalin Russia with no problem. It things actually even were encouraged. Word like Pigathleate would come from Stalin's playbook.
3. Well, Hawaii seems just came up to capitalist terms and want to trademark their national sport. You know, like smartest capitalist who live American dream do - do nothing, just collect $.
Yes,.he has a lot of work to do, book burns have been around for a while. Before that (and still today) you had people cancelling the religions of others.
He ain't rehabilitating shit, he'll be canceled any day now; HBO is chocked full of these woketards.
@@VincentPaulS damn you sound both angry and new to life; i assume virtual learning 2nd is tough. Bill literally had a show called politically incorrect; hbo knows what they are getting with him.
Feel free to list things that have been cancelled by the woke crowd if you can.
