Bill Maher's seventh HBO Special, taped at the Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland, 2005. Bill is in great form here and it's definitely one of my favourite specials of his.
"Why can't we be one of those countries with a president that has a permanent tan and expensive suits and a Versace mistress?" Be careful what you wish for, Bill . . .
He left out one qualifier. What he meant was a "president that has a permanent tan and expensive suits and a Versace mistress", who has a working brain.
Remona Stormborn he's had a reality show, but he's just a businessman. Geez people. You have to have _some_ intelligence to build and run a large business enterprise like that. He didn't inherit that much from his father, he built that empire through being a shrewd businessman. So let's see if it pans out. Sure he says crazy stuff, but I'd like to see what he *does*.
"Everyone talked about an Earnhardt curse as if these gentlemen were in the frozen yogurt industry and kept bursting into flames." Hahah gotta love Bill Maher.
@@jmsfabrication7821 I am watching this April 4, 23 it is not funny, rather imbecilic. Amazing all this American sitting and laughing and cheering .maybe I am to old !
Bill Maher said "religion is arrogance disguised as humility" and this is so true. I've been called arrogant because i'm an atheist. Even though it's the other side that literally claims to talk to the creator of the universe, know his plan and being buddies with his son.
Perhaps you were called arrogant because you were being arrogant. I'm an atheist/agnostic, too, but I take a far more accommodationist approach to religion (which puts me at odds with many other atheists). I know plenty of religious people who are genuinely good people. They don't act sanctimonious and they never try to push their faith. They only try to live their lives according to their faith and, so long as you focus on the forgiveness and the helping of the needy, I see it as a net positive for society. If a soup kitchen is helping to feed those who can't feed themselves, what does it matter if it has a religious affiliation? The important thing is that they help people.. I don't think you have to be religious to do this, but so much of our charitable infrastructure is church based. Even if we atheists/agnostics see some of the specifics of the faith as silly, it's hard to argue with the positive results.
As Hitchen said religion as nothing to do with morales The fairest , most ethical country on earth (Denmark, Sweden, etc) Are the one with the highest nombre of atheist You don.t need religion to have great people You always need religion to get great people to do the most horrific things
i am a fan of Bill Maher. He is one of the smartest comics of our time. Speaking of OUR time... In 2005 even Bill Maher had "Gay" jokes in his act. We have come along way folks!!
Disagree. This is dogshit. The way he laughs thru his set is worse than that one dipshit SNL alumnus always looking at the camera He's great on his TV show tho.
@@ryancalhoun2910 Start with inflation and no longer energy independent , all brought on by the Biden administration. Let’s not forget we’re on the verge of WW3 the war democrats said Trump was going to start . lol
This was a great fucking set, man. So many people get so hung up on Bill Maher being a “Liberal”, I think it gets sort of pushed aside what an amazing comedian he is.
At every show, I love when the camera pans out over the audience because it reminds me that there are lots of people from all races and walks of life that believe in TRUTH in POLITICAL humor. It gives me hope.
Hahaha ! Maybe it's only me but... I love how the guy in first row in greent t-shirt was looking at Bill like he hate every word that came out from his mouth and yet at the end under social pressure I assume he gave him stand ovation :D
Bill has a certain power of enabling people through witty banter. He proves intellectually that people need honesty and do not need politics and religion. He has the respect of intelligent people. He is the voice of humanity!
Actually weed being illegal is a problem in the sense if you are caught with it, your life is fucked when you try to apply for jobs afterwards. Even though it is not as bad as alcohol or cigarettes.
It's worse than that, comrade. Even today in 2015, if you have a prescription for medical marijuana, or if it was legalized in your state for recreational use, you can still lose your job if you fail a piss test. Why? Because it is still a FEDERAL offence. If every state in the union were to legalize marijuana, it's useless if the feds still keep it illegal. So until Congress decides to join the 21st century, or if the American people gets to vote on it in a national election, pot smokers are fucked...unless you're a rich enough to where you don't need a job...
Sonortubelug We pot smokers have been getting these stupid anti-marijuana laws shoved up our asses since the 1930's. I recently had to stop maryjane kissing just to keep my job because having money and health care is more important than getting a buzz, but I still feel like I'm getting sodomized!
It is almost 2018.... weird watching this 13 years later. This is 2005... all he's talking about is W Bush... now it's Trump. Bill was 49 here... now almost 62...... but I still find this funny all these years later
@@MikeCarrick I agree that he is an evil man, but Bush launched an illegal war which cost the lives of millions of people, including completely innocent Iraqi civilians. He also ignored intelligence that said Bin Laden wanted to attack the U.S. using airplanes. Trump was horrible, but nothing he did compares to either of those two things.
So unbelievably witty and articulate! Much like Carlin. Love Bill Maher's perspective. We need more such outspoken and rational people sharing their point of view in such an entertaining fashion. Hits home each time!
10 years ago, Bill ask "Why do we always have to be the stupid country?!" Now, I'd like to know, why does the stupidity become more and more as the years go by?? :-/
@UCRX1x3hFf9_2JONcJjWGEVg Yup, it's called a car wax when it's in my Chevy, a make-up when it's on my wife and a wax-job of presidential proportions when I jerk off with hands still orange from devouring a bag of Cheetos.
When he made the joke about being high eating macaroni out of a big green bowl I was like omg I just ate macaroni high out of a bit green bowl about and hour ago!! XD
@@lilamayoral1031 You guys just need to stop. Trump made America the laughing stock of the world. The only thing he managed to do was give the super rich a tax break. That's it! You guys keep harping about Trump's economy. Anyway that thinks he handled the economy correctly has no idea how economics work. Every time the economy would have a minor correction he would print a trillion dollars and dump it on the economy. He is the reason inflation is out of control. But of course you blame Biden. Yeah let's see who knows more about how our economy works a so called businessman that has failed at business again and again and again. Someone who couldn't even make money with casinos! He bankrupted casinos!! Or a lifelong bureaucrat who has spent 50 years in government? I am so sick of uneducated fools who get their news from opinion journalists thinking they know what's going on. Go make your local politics a popularity contest and leave the federal government to the adults. Maybe we can get an actual Republican elected in 2024. A true fiscally responsible conservative. Not a lifelong Democrat who switches to the GOP when the Democrats made fun of him. So tired of fools that go to his rallies and finally feel like the cool kids trying to tell lifelong New Yorkers that they know more about Trump than they do. Let me ask you this, if you ran for any office how would you feel if 92% of your hometown voted against you? Cause that happened to Trump. 92% of the people that know Trump the best voted against him. But you know how Trump really is, huh? He is a conman, a grifter, someone who begged for your donations for his legal bills while taking a private jet to his court date. Someone who didn't ask for a single donation to help the hundreds of his followers that got into deep legal trouble on January 6th. Nope they are on their own but a so called billionaire needs you to foot his bill. Brainwashed fools!!
Actually Trump was always a wannabe with a fake spray tan and cheap ill fitting suits, and trophy wives. A pretender who appeals to other wannabes and people who can't distinguish truth from reality because all their lives they allow themselves to be brainwashed by televangelist cons.
When he said "Penny Lane is worth 10 dead kids." and "Dark Side Of The Moon is worth 100 dead kids.", christ know how many dead kids Tubular Bells would've been worth?
