Bill Maher: #Adulting

One of the very few voices of reason and genuine liberalism in modern times. Thank you for pushing back against the illiberal BS being propagated by hypersensitive wokesters and the complete insanity of Trump and the Republican Party. Carlin would be proud.

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 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.

As other reviewers mentioned, there are a number of moments where you'll think "I've heard this before on Real Time." However, there are enough interesting nuggets and good laughs that I would recommend it. Last 20-30 minutes are the strongest in the set.

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.
