What’s the problem
The cool old man putting kids in their place.
Unexpected SNL
You got the “old” part right, at least 🤷
Dunno, seems like a solid recommendation, those are the two weekly HBO shows I watch.
I don’t always enjoy Maher, but he occasionally has a good show and has some valid points. But I’m not one of the bleeding heart liberals.
This guy is just an actor, with a team of writers set to push the buttons of everyone sitting on the fence. Like or hate, nobody at the show gives a shit so long as people tune in. It’s just Hollywood garbage disguised as important discourse.
Bill Mahr has been a zionist racist hateful cunt since the 90s but you’re right that 90% of these toilet swearage lookingass zio influencers do it for money. Bill Mahr admited , in interview with that AndrewShultz comedian, that he is paid by his Israeli friends who constantly thank him and invite him to visit Israel for his birthright land and citizenship. Same shit with that genocide sympithizer, rape apologist, toilet asswipe Mr Bellroli Destiny, and his streamer group who absolutely did FreePalestine movement huge favors repeatedly by exposing their own evil and hypocracy the more they talk and try to defend undefenable zionist genocidal aparthied.
I saw a clip of this moron for the first time a week or two ago.
The entire segment was him saying that genocide against native peoples was justified because they too had violence present in their societies. Of course, the overwhelming majority of complex life on earth include violence in their behavior repetoire.
So per this dipshit, you’re morally justified in wiping out complex life.
Americans have guns so Im allowed to shoot them all, right?
Only if they’re brown enough. That’s the real unsaid part here.
Yes.
Me first, please
Bill Maher is the smug “liberal” elite that I think conservatives think all educated democrats are. He thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, has consistently bad takes and just generally sucks. He is all but the definition of smug. He thinks he’s George Carlin but is not
This.
I cannot tolerate him. It’s the conceited, condescending, arrogant attitude.
I loved when Bill Burr and Seth Green put him in his place.
People like Maher is why blue collar Americans hate liberals.
During my “libertarian” phase I was trying to get into him. I figured out pretty quickly that he isn’t well researched and his only response to anything he disagreed with is condescension and pessimistic sarcasm.
Exactly. He’s stoned off the scent of his own flatulence
This dude is the textbook definition of a reactionary centrist: so comfortable with his entrenched wealth that he’ll gladly sell out anyone who is getting stomped by the system that he benefits from.
Which is why I advocate eating the rich, we should have started decades ago
On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.
🏴☠️
Aint it great when paying gets you a worse experience.

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.
From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
Turns on VPN for Brazil. yt-dlp the weekly episode. Place on Jellyfin media server. Rejoice.
Where is yt-dlp finding full episodes?
They post them to you tube after they air but they are region locked. Just find a vpn in South America and you can watch it (or download it)
Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.
Even before that, I couldn’t stand him tbh. He’s probably one of the most smug people in the entire world.
He makes Jeremy Clarkson and pregnant women look like Keanu Reeves and Dolly Parton
dude, comparing Clarkson to Keanu? that’s a low blow, but whatever. i gotta say something about comparing pregnant women to Dolly Parton though. Dolly doesn’t deserve that. I’d like to think we’re better than that here on lemmy.
dude, comparing Clarkson to Keanu? that’s a low blow
I was contrasting the smugness of Clarkson with the total lack of same of Keanu, which is eminently apt IMHO 🤷
i gotta say something about comparing pregnant women to Dolly Parton though. Dolly doesn’t deserve that. I’d like to think we’re better than that here on lemmy
Again, I was contrasting the extremely smug with the not at all smug.
I was complimenting Keanu and Dolly, not condemning them.
Off topic, but The Newsreader is actually quite good!Edit: nvm, I can’t readThe rest of the recommendations are pretty solid, though. I almost said something like the Game of Thrones doesn’t fit. But right now, it really does.
Damn, you have a sharp eye.
Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate
What?
It’s recommending Bill Maher because they watched Last Week Tonight.
Bill Maher sucks. Last Week Tonight fucks.
Most people watching Last Week Tonight are not going to also be Bill Maher fans.
Would prefer to never have to see his eminently punchable face again, but truth’s a good start I guess 🤷
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
I’m more surprised it doesn’t fail to load. Fuck Hulu and their shitty player.
It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.
Nice try, Bill Maher
I used to be a Bill Maher fan (like in my teens) his smugness was really off-putting though so I ignored them.
Religulous would have been more fun if he wasn’t such a prick in it. His outro was annoying AF.
Bill Burr said he was on the side of the student protestors calling for an end to the Palestinian genocide. Then Bill Maher said (I’m paraphrasing) that it’s the same as being pro-Hamas. Fuck Bill Maher.
Might I interest you in a podcast?
You may 😁
God I despise that little neoliberal worm.
They rely on people getting up to take a shit after Last Week Tonight to juice those Bill Maher numbers
Does it autoplay or something?
In my experience, yes
To be fair I can see the leap. Bill Maher made HBO’s political arm for a long time…
Now he is just a tired old dip shit (instead of just a dip shit)
You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.
