Bill Maher: #Adulting

The first half of it is basically the "greatest hits" from the last season or two of his HBO show "Real Time." It's funny and current with the times, it's just nothing new if you watch his show regularly. But if you like his style of comedy and don't keep up with his show, you will like it a lot. The second half picks it up a lot and is fresh content though. True to form, he pushes the limits in a few spots and is a professional.

This show is more than just a comedy special. This show is so full of insight about what is going on around us. Bill is telling it like it is (and always does) and is explaining why so much of what we do is ridiculous and contradictory. It only takes a little bit of intelligence, a little bit of knowledge, a little bit of a sense of humour and some maturity to know this man is right on the money with his observations of politics, religion, race, gender and sex. (All things that you are not supposed to talk about in bars.) I say that this show is a must see!

I like Bill and he obviously still draws a crowd. I've watched him since my teenage years and Politically Incorrect. With Real Time, I tend to watch the interviews and his panel. I almost always skip his intro monologue. I've always thought he should devote his show to more interview and more panel... I don't see Maher as a standup guy. Funny? Yes, he can be funny but his standup... it just doesn't do it for me.

Like some of the other reviews here, this special is Real Time monologue in long form. Everything he says here is what all the sensible people have been saying for years(including Maher on Real Time).

I am glad he touched on religion in this special. Bill has always been loud about how ridiculous religion is and I honestly think he should've ran with that for the majority of his career.

Worth a watch? This is a put on in the background and listen to. No need to plan an evening around it.

I lean right politically so I was reluctant to watch such a renowned liberal. But I was surprised. I believe he actually made fun of democrats more than anything. As far as the actual show, I laughed a few times. It was ok to kill an hour.

Bill starts off by insulting the folks in the audience who are wearing masks, saying that we now have the vaccine, and no one with the vaccine dies. (Tell that to the 2000 fully vaccinated people in Minnesota who have died from Covid.) Then he goes off on Trump - again. Nothing wrong with that, except that he isn't funny, or clever when he does it. He thinks all he has to do is say "Trump" and his audience will laugh. The hour just came across as a mean spirited rant, not clever or insightful observations.
