Real Time with Bill Maher: New Rule - Learn How to Take a Joke (HBO) 

My first thought exactly

coming from Carlin, sounds like a compliment

Dear putz:

BartJ583 Carlin hated religion as much as Bill does. They would still be on the same side on Islam being a crock.

BartJ583 Most of Carlin's later bits were rants on people... not just ideologies... "here's a list of people who oughta be killed" for instance.

BartJ583 The best jokes _are_ serious.

BartJ583 Maher understands that beliefs motivate behavior. The 100% materialist view of terrorism simply doesn't work, beliefs matter.

BartJ583 bill began that segment with a Muslim joke and then said not everything is 100% true. So your 25% just makes him right and you should just learn to take a joke

Agreed.

When he talked about having balls, doing this segment making Joy Reed to sit & watch upclose, now that's having balls. Kudos to Bill.

Yes, disagreeing and moving on is called a part of life.

He is what a liberal democrat used to be, thinking different from me but fun and interesting to be around.

@@Paulsofsteel Absolutely. As a conservative, I still think Bill is hilarious.

CanadianRaven13 No kidding! All hell would break loose if someone like Carlin showed up. He made a point to be offensive to sensitive people. Hell, he did an entire skit about suicide.

@@pandorasbox4238 oh they would burn him alive

The worst that can be said for Seinfeld is that hes just not very funny.God I wish we still had Carlin.

True

@@jackjohnson-wv5fh Carlin would burn them all first

hilarious

I have to agree. That was very VERY original. And no one left crying. someone Dave these mellenials from themselves.

Reminds me of the of Montreal song An Eluardian Instance. I think yours was a typo but he says I wish David was here

It's a pretty old joke, though. Maher didn't create it.

i laughed like crazy

George would have a field day now, would he ever

Darn straight!

Lighten the fu¢k up, they're just jokes!... Joan Rivers

Carlin was a master...like Mel Brooks, nothing was safe

@@c.j.forever7990 Nothing was considered sacred compared to todays professionally offended woke crowd.

Guess I was watching a different clip, they all looked like they were laughing. Except Ann Coulter, her eyes were shooting daggers!

@@craiganderson7986 Better check your glasses. The rest of us see Anne Coulter as the least likely of that group to "censor" comedy or anything else that might Trigger the intolerant PC Lefties.

@@craiganderson7986 WHat? Ann Coulter was laughing.

@@craiganderson7986 I saw her laughing..as one would expect

@@craiganderson7986 Ann looked like she was enjoying the most .

A LOT

I'd trade our entire political system for him. I'll throw in Hollywood to sweeten the pot.

Love you man. Surely, we miss him.

Hope he reincarnated

I saw him at my university in 1976. He was inappropriate then too, and I love him (in a manly fashion). He is sorely missed.

Yep. I stay home and don't open my mouth. Literally everything can be used against you.

The tide has tuned. Be of good cheer. Morning has broken...

As the Bible predicted.

What's even more sad is this is now from 4.5 years ago and things have only gotten worse.

@@StephenPaulTroup Hypersensitivity is a problem in this bizarro world .

Adam Nahari Stay safe, friend. May truth guide both our countries

Adam Nahari Other than this show being presented by someone with far-left wing tendencies and the audience is always far-left as well, it's somewhat fine.

I don't agree with what they're doing . their sentiment of Anti-America Anti-Semitism isn't hidden. they preface it publicly , they think god is on their sides. whoever is against them is considered a Sunni terrorist according to their beliefs. that been said, I still believe strongly that AQAP is more dangerous than the houthis. The Houthis want power so they can lay the road easy for Iran. I find myself agreeing with Prime Minister of Israel when he emphasizes on the subject of Iran. Iran is trying to reach out to the Shiites who live in conflict places like Yemen. Iraq,Syria Look !, I live in Taiz, a peaceful city it used to be until Houthis entered and wanted to impose their beliefs on the locals, so we are resisting Taiz has always been a place to many foreign students who used to come and learn Arabic and others who want to do " missionary work_wink wink " the point is, we were fine, I don't know why we are not fine like before.

No, I am neither. I am as infidel as the rest of world is hahah my family are Sunnis. moderate sunni and when I say moderate I mean they don't take it seriously. it's just a cultural thing. they're quite open minded

I appreciate your solidarity

mic of orion I can only imagine how many F bombs he would have dropped in his letter to the HuffPo twit. It would have left only scorched earth.

mic of orion george carlin said he agreed with most of the feminist theory he had read rofl

***** Sure, but he wouldn't have stopped people from being able to joke about things. He wouldn't have wanted men to cut their dicks off or have men wear blindfolds in public.

***** no there really isn't a huge difference

***** there is a huge difference between 1st and 2nd wave feminism and nowadays 3rd wave feminism. they don't have anything in common anymore. guess why so many people rally against it.

Totally.

Maher seems to hate PC, but he doesn't seem to get that the "progressives" he often supports are the very people who have instituted this hateful, Marxist philosophy. Maher oddly straddles the fence.

He would have buried us all!! 🤣 ..and we would be better off at the end..

Look thru some of his material. He’s already roasted use of language to control (which is what PC-ness is after all), and all his points are still salient to this day.

Re-aired DAILY.

Aye lad.

@@marcdemell2987 Exactly!

@An Deo Oh, STFU, snowflake!

@@skinnygumbo2700 Ah I think you are confused. An Deo is a right wing Fox news, Rush Limbaugh groupie, not a "snowflake" that means a liberal.

@@hoffer54 No, idiot, "snowflake" doesn't mean "a liberal".

David Curry Your reference had been noted ;)

David Curry Duly and dually noted.

David Curry Nineteen Eighty Four was 31 years ago. George Orwell is spinning in his grave.

David Curry 1984? Ah, yes. Reminds me of Panama. I was so hot for teacher, it made me want to jump.

David Curry I didn't get it. Can someone explain? I don't even know what to Google.

Jeea I'll let you know Bill doesn't like Islam whatsoever from what I've seen lol. Just prepare yourself.

CaptainTaco97 from what I gather he is not a fan of religion in general... I think I am used to his jokes now (been watching 'new rules' a lot) XD anyway thank you for the warning :))

Gryffindor_Weasley I can tell you're not your typical Muslim, likely a reformer? Hopefully it's so, thumbs up!

hopefully you're one of those reformers or cherry pickers.

Gryffindor_Weasley sorry to hear you're muslim.

***** Needs to be shown with ads, no pesky adblocks.

digdugg89 LOL. HAHAHA*snort*HA

***** As long as those campuses don't have that pesky adblock.

***** *_Turn off that pesky adblock_*

Fa1pa1 id have laughed too

Too much extremism on all sides.

@i get it sadly the bigotry and conspiracies and intolerance of the right are fuel for the intolerant left. So the right, as history has shown over and over again, is just digging a mass grave for everyone. The intolerant left is a reaction of the intolerant right. Both sides are going to incite civil unrest and violence against the larger block of moderates who don't want anything to do with either side - we just want shit to be fair for everyone and /then/ for government to leave us the F alone. But the RNC is obsessed with unfair systems of oppression, and the DNC are obsessed with persecution. So no matter which side is in charge American's are going to get royally F in the worst ways - and if you think there won't be collateral damage because "your side" is currently in power you're delusional... and if you think the other side won't be looking for payback when they swing into power, you're delusional. The greatest and most evolutionary moments in history have largely been when an oppressed people rise up and overthrow an oppressive ruler/government. And that shit is never pretty, for either side.

Same here.

@Hardrisht Chawla Too often, Bill Maher is so strident in his criticisms (especially against anyone conservative) that it's hard to listen to him.

Roger Plummer Said Conservatives usually have it coming, and then some.

@Hardrisht Chawla because he said outloud he hoped something bad would happen to the us, just so trump wouldn't get elected. He can fuck off & you know the rest

+William H. Baird LMAO i just got it! damn Bill Maher! haha

I nearly choked on my water at that joke.

Yah, but they did over 600 years ago whereas the Muslims are doing it today.

+Gloria Wow, way to completely dodge the question! One thing about you Trumpanzees - facts never get in the way for you.

+Darren Nope, they're proud of the calluses they get dragging their fucking knuckles behind them. Mencken was right all along - all they've ever wanted was a drooling moron in the White House so they can feel good about being so abysmally stupid. Every fucking minute I'm more and more glad I live in California.

I know right Karen?

Joe Berg I was afraid they might only go half of the way, "SJWs are targeting OUR GUYS now! We need to put a stop to this!". Like it is OK when middle-Americans get targeted but don't you dare go against liberal leaders. This isn't like that, Bill Maher didn't defend just anybody, he defended Clint Eastwood and even as someone who feels pretty conservative I had that offended flag go up in my head about Clint's Jenner joke. But WHO THE FUCK CARES??? What's wrong with being offensive? Bill Maher nailed it here and he made mean, funny jokes about every big group. You'll never get progress by intimidating people to shut up, you have to show them compassion and you also have to be free to make ruthless jokes about each other. That goes for everyone.

Joe Berg I'm pretty sure Mao was worried about more than comedians.

Dildo Daggers Then your insufferable weakness at whining about how people don't want you to say certain words will not be respect, you fucking pissbaby.

Dildo Daggers no one who works for a living? What the fuck is even relevant about that? Also, clearly you care. Otherwise you wouldn't whine on and on about it.

Dildo Daggers Ah, ok. So no one who disagrees with you has any "actual" things to worry about.. because you clearly get to define what is an actual worry. Yet you don't care.. but you keep responding because... I dunno.. you wanna whine more about how butt hurt you are that people disagree with you on tumblr.

you don't know shit

If you always agree with somebody, then you are in a cult.

same

@Kaptain Kid And then there is Schitt's Creek!

I actually almost always agree with Bill.

To prove to the raccoon it could be done.

Why did the chicken cross the road? She was safety-pinned to a punk rocker

OMG... couldn't it be like a piece of ToFu crossing the road?

How did you even conclude it’s a chicken? It could be identifying as a Llama 🦙

I think non human animals count as acceptable targets for jokes. Worring about speciesism is taking PC too far. I do realize that your are exaggerating.

A stupid one is wiser in his own eyes than 7 giving a sensible reply.

"People have too much stuff " is still the funniest bit I have ever heard and I've been a fan since he did "Toledo Window Box" back in the 70's. RIP GC

Eves Apple, kick us in the throat. Joke?

He is sorely missed, but he wrote books!

@@briancollis4925 Used to love his comedy! until the last couple performances.

She's funny......he is not

@@ileneplantone3817 hhahahahahhaha, wait you are serious?? Holy shit!!

@@AzaJabar yes dead serious!

@@ileneplantone3817 You are the worst.

@@WittyUsernamehere yeah back then you had to say that, she was basically the god that morons worshipped, I wonder what happened to her

Amy,,,,,,yuck.

Bullshit, you guys collapse if the jokes are about any precious minority

Tell that J.K. Rowling.

Yeah you can, I mean look at your justice system....

@@TheTranceCartel If you have a death wish you can. i remember some French cartoonists trying it didnt turn out very well...

Unfortunately you're incorrect considering they prosecuted a man in the UK for teaching his dog how to make a Nazi salute on RU-vid. Your country has officially lost the plot as to what freedom of expression means.

Coulter, Uhgh!!

Every season of South Park I am r4eally worried that South Park will go off the air because their network wants Chinese money

But it's funny cause it's true.

That twist though. Bill, my man.

Thats how you know someone's opinion is unbiased, when they call out both sides

Those of you who didn't serve in Iraq have no idea how callous American forces were. After 9/11 America needed to show its strength. And just doing Afghanistan wouldn't cut it. So ANY ADMINISTRATION would have picked a fight with some rogue nation so that we could use them to show our fearsomeness to the world. At the time there was talk about "the axis of evil" - Iraq, Iran, North Korea - while the administration made up its mind about which one to try and overthrow. What happened though was that Bush overreached. His excuse was finding "weapons of mass destruction" but he - and everyone else - knew they weren't there. That's why he called the war "Operation Iraqi Freedom". Everyone knew the WMD thing was just an excuse and he should have kept it at that - but like the overconfident fool that he was - he thought he could remake the middle east with no more effort than suddenly giving everyone the vote. There are ways of bringing a totalitarian regime into democracy, but that isn't it. What America *should have* done to show its power was go after Saddam Hussein and then leave. He was a dangerous dude, an enemy of America (regardless of whose fault that was) and a real son of a bitch. Everyone would have understood America taking him out and then leaving the Iraqis to sort out their own problems. Or, better yet, give it over to the UN to worry about. Instead America stayed put, imported tens of thousands of American know-nothing teenagers with guns, and let them run rampant so long as they stopped posting pictures online of their atrocities. It was a pretty bad scene.

Liberals defending ultra conservative muslims sounds like a joke.

why is that?

Jakob Celén That was harsh, that’s gotta hurt some right wingers feelings I’m sure!

Appreciate the honesty.

+Giovanni Magnus Completely agree. A joke and satire is used for comedy - not because the person telling the joke ACTUALLY BELIEVES what they are saying. The intent is important!

+Luke Macris There are examples of comedy being used maliciously, the old black face for example. But yeah, 95% of the time it's just a fucking joke.

Even still, it's just a word. It doesn't physically harm you.

Intent warrants censorship? I hope not. If someone has malicious intent and we censor them, it will snowball and the line for “malice” and inherently subjective “intent” will creep further and further. Because some flawed and biased human must decide what constitutes malice. No bueno. Bad ideas are better off being aired out (and knocked down) in the marketplace of ideas.

I agree, with that censorship emotional bs is gone, the western world can handle problems maturely and not like a bunch of babies

Only if "conservatism" goes in with it.

Conservatism is nothing but Fascism in disguise.

I think some one needs to look up Fascism in a book. Not from cnn

@@jeffedmonds6673 Fascism is a right wing ideology.

Yuuuuup

Somebody send this to Big Willy right now
