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.

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.

I am not a huge fan of Bill Maher but I don't hate him either. This one is more of a talk than a stand up comedy special. It is not particularly funny but it is good. I disagree with much of Bill's perspectives on things but I agree with others. For example, I don't think the masks are pointless but I do agree with his perspective on the dangers of the ultra woke movement. Listen the upside of this show is I did feel a general respect for opinions that run contrary to Maher's own. If more dialogue was like this the world would be better. I do think more Americans agree with his refusal to side with the extremes of both sides. I still won't go out of my way to watch Maher's show but I would recommend this one.

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.

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.
