Bill Maher on last night’s show, discussing Sean Hannity’s interview of Trump.
I don’t wanna say that Hannity lobs a lot of softballs, but today he was made an honorary lesbian.
Joke of the day:
Other Crap
Uncle Scoopy's world-weary musings about naked celebrities, sports, humor and other important, manly things.
With respect, not only is Bill Maher not funny, it seems he’s trying to make Americans forget his pathetic fawning dinner with Trump. Bill Maher is a useless piece of shit.
His show’s jokes are almost always the best ones on the political situation, or at least second-best behind Kimmel, but that’s to be expected. His writers have a week to think about things, while Colbert, Myers and Fallon are really working on a very short deadline.
And of course, that’s the writers, not the host. As far as I know, Maher only writes the last and longest “new rule” each week, and that is usually more serious than funny. His podcast isn’t funny at all. I’ve tried to watch it a few times, and there were more laughs at Princess Di’s funeral..
Maybe. The problem I see for Maher is that it’s hard to be sanctimonuous when you’ve shown yourself to be a Quisling.
Maher isn’t fit to sniff John Oliver’s jockstrap.
Hey, he would if he could.
To take nothing from all this Maher-bashing, this one joke is half-decent – far high-end tail of the Maher bell-curve.
Maher also had the best joke on the final Biden debate::
“Biden shit the bed so bad that the Secret Service changed his code name to ‘Amber Heard.’”
Oliver spends virtually no time on the news of the day. His genius is the long pieces, at which he is the GOAT. Compare his long pieces to Maher’s final “new rule,” and you see how much better Maher could be.
To be fair, however, I have caught Oliver in factual errors, and his bias leads him to misinterpret many facts, and ignore others that don’t fit his narrative, intentionally or otherwise. He tends to be blinded by a black-and-white ideology that he is convinced of. Like Mencken before him, he never lets the truth get in the way of a good story or a good joke.
But as the ultimate curmudgeon and the true heir to Mencken, he us the GOAT.
And he is laugh-out loud funny.
Maher hasn’t been funny for years, but he plays a valuable role in the comedy ecosystem by giving Jesse Watters something to aspire to.
That’s supposed to be funny? When will his show get cancelled?
That’s the kicker, isn’t it? Probably no time soon. He’s fairly immune to Trump – he’s already pissed him off, but not enough for the fat fuck to do anything about it. And it’s not like there’s a deep bench of replacements, or even a shallow bench, or any piece of furniture resembling a bench.
