Bill Maher: Alguém Mais Está Vendo Isso?

Full disclosure- I am not a a huge fan of Bill Maher; however, I liked this special a lot. This is a very honest and bold stand up that daringly attacks insanity on the left and right. While he takes on Trump's madness he also takes on the madness that is Woke thinking in the 21st Century. He very intelligently distinguishes Liberalism, a Progressive way of thinking, and Wokeness, a disease of the mind and society. I don't love his delivery, but I do agree with a lot of his messaging. Even on the stuff I don't agree with- who cares- the whole point is that we should have the ability to disagree. His attack on collegiate thought and young people is so on the mark. This is smart thinking and thoughtful provoking.

I've watched real time very consistently for years and have a lot of respect for Mr Maher, but not as much for his brand of humor and stand up.

Well, this was very enjoyable and had way more laugh out loud moments than I would have predicted. Bill seems very comfortable. His timing is mostly on point. The material is his usual metre but with some nice twists and very good presentation.

So, thank you Bill. See you next Friday night. Will be coming for a dose of common sense and with renewed interest in your funny bone.

70 characters left on the wall. If one of those characters should happen to fall...

Bill Maher's been talking about the same things for years now. If you don't go outside your comfort zone and change up your material, you're a very tame comedian. Chances are if you went to see this show you've already heard all this before. Now I agree with a lot of what he's saying, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is if it's funny or not. And the answer is "eh." I chuckled a few times but the score I'm giving it isn't because it's very funny. It would at least be a 6 if that were the case. If you're a huge Bill Maher fan you have nothing to lose, listening to him talk about the same thing for the past 5 years. Otherwise, I would t really say it's particularly worth checking out as a "comedy show."

It just isn't funny anymore, Bill. Jeff Dunham manages to get a laugh every 15 seconds, but I sat through 15 minutes of your latest special and barely cracked a smile. If I'm being generous, maybe I laughed once. Comedy is supposed to evolve with time, not devolve, and after decades in the game, you'd think you'd know that. Instead, we're left with lazy, recycled material that feels more like a lecture than a comedy special. It's hard to imagine anyone paying for this if you weren't already a household name. Let's be honest: if this were a debut, no one would be signing a contract for a follow-up.

Poking fun at Trump is the oldest trick in the book, and you've been at it so long that it feels like autopilot. Worse, you're accusing him of things that never even happened, while completely ignoring the glaring disasters of the current administration. Biden is driving the country into the ground, yet you focus on the same tired targets as if it's still 2016. Remember when you confidently said there was "no chance Trump was going to win"? Turns out, you were wrong. And guess what? That kind of arrogance is exactly what turned so many people off in the first place.

Here's the thing: comedy has the power to be a mirror to society, to punch up, to challenge hypocrisy no matter where it's coming from. Right now, comedy feels broken-Hollywood feels broken-but there's hope. Maybe Monday marks the start of something new, a chance for America to be great again. And who knows? Maybe with a little humility and self-awareness, comedians and Hollywood can be great again, too.

Bill, maybe in a few years, you'll get another shot at making a special-one that's actually funny and filled with the apologies you owe for the blind spots, laziness, and partisanship. Until then, you might want to take notes from comedians who still know how to bring the laughs consistently. Because right now, you're coasting on reputation, and that's not good enough anymore.

Bill Maher came out with awesome opinions and hard punching funny thoughts about Gen-Z. He's got timing with jokes, and when you hear him out you're laughing along the way. It's saddening that he is retiring from stand-up as I would love to go. Bill Maher is incredible and while some of these jokes are a little rehash from Real Time you they offer different ways of seeing liberals & republicans. There are jokes for everybody and everybody is welcome to his shows and Real Time as he makes fun of everybody- himself too lol and offers insight about general life. Bill Maher sometimes is nihilistic and crude but it is Hilarious. I love Bill he's just very real.
