Bill Maher: #Adulting

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.

Maher has some very funny material, but it is unfortunately overshadowed by his determined dickishness on the masking issue. Some of us have legitimate reasons for wearing masks outside, or wherever we damned well please. The cold winter air makes it difficult for me to breathe outside, and the warm pocket of air in a masks eases that difficulty. Many immunocompromised people fear ending up in hospital or with long Covid. Maher's persistent asininity is just making maskers an object of ridicule and contempt and making it more difficult for us.

I'm Swedish and just watched the show on HBO Max here in Gothenburg. I've have had a subscription for a couple of years now and I haven't heard of Bill Maher before I got HBO a few years back. I have now watched his Real Time every week for 4 years and I think it's one of the best shows out there. I used to follow David Letterman when a cable channel started to televise his show in middle of the 90s. Unfortunately Letterman is not as good and juicy as he used to be, I watched a couple of episodes on Netflix of his new programming and Letterman have just become a washed out older man in fold with the rest of the sheep.

This hasn't happened to Maher, I think he's getting better each year and though I'm a middle-aged white Conservative I enjoy Bill every week. I think he's very funny, warm and quick. And this 1 hour special is hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing, even my cat checked me out if I'm OK. I've read through some reviews on here which are negative and rate it low and I could understand that. I do have some woke and very leftists friends and recognise the reasoning and commenting. They just can't take a joke, unfortunately this how far our society have come. We need people like Maher who sees for what things really are,

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 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.
