"Barking at nothing makes people not want to listen when you actually have something to say." -Bill Maher
Word!
Actually. The boy who cried wolf - Aesop. But yeah rearrange it lol
So well said
I am not an Amy Schumer fan by any stretch of the imagination but Bill is 100% right on this. People need to stop getting "offended" by every little thing. This PC outrage is just annoying af and it's ruining everything.
I could not agree with you more. This world is full of politically correct infidels so pathetic I feel like I am now a god among them.
Zachary Xavier yes so true... Do they never think about the finish line of their behavior/ideas? In 20 years we will only have black disabled transgendered actors and no comedy anymore if this trend goes on.
Sopho Nax Not if the free market has anything to say about it. Time for other cities to give Hollywood some competition.
i think it's just the movie critics who are "offended." they never like comedies. now they seem to be dressing up their criticisms of comedies by playing the PC card to the extreme.
The only thing that offends me about this money is that Hollywood keeps shoving money at someone as untalented and unfunny as Amy Schumer.
As a black South African man, I agree.. black panther needed more Puerto Ricans
😆😆😆😆
lol!
As a black man in America, Black Panther was the 2nd best MCU movie, Winter Soldier was better, and Blade II was 3rd. No Amy Schumer
Doesn’t EVERYTHING need more Puerto Ricans?
@Robbie The great Hey Genius... how on earth did you miss the joke? Did you even watch the video?
I was born with a disability (cerebral palsy) and I have spent my entire life fighting for educational and professional acceptance, ultimately succeeding as a jurist and businessperson. I think this whole absurd modern criticism of being “able-bodied” is insane, and profoundly cheapens my experience. If I were to just accept my disabled body as “just a different kind of normal” or other such bunkum, I would never have cared about wanting to improve myself!
Is the very concept of self-improvement to be demonized now, because some people just want to wallow in their problems and deny that they are even problems, and not give a flying fig because “we are all good enough already”?!?!?
Jeebus, what a giant crock!!! No wonder there are so many people in my generation, with perfectly formed brains and bodies, who still live in their parents’ basements at age forty, with no education, no work experience, and no ambition to obtain either!
To be fair, a lot of people had to move back to their parents due to rising rents and mortgage rates.
SJWs. Mostly white, straight, useless, talking about what they don't know and playing White Savior. And if YOU confronted them about it, they would turn on you like a gross of cobras.
"When will liberals learn that barking at nothing makes people not want to listen when you actually have something to say". Best quote I've heard from Bill Maher.
"liberals"
Yeah, that was a good line!
Yeeees!
And I left still wonders why they lost, and wonder is why the party hasn't grown but continue to blame everything but themselves.
I have been a Democrat or my life and have seen myself as left leaning but God damn this bullshit gets tiring.
QbrotherSoulStar right there with you, I’ve always been center leaning left but people keep pushing me further and further right :(
“How come you made the movie you made, and not the one I would have made?”
Bill literally described all of geek fandom in a nutshell.
sanbell,
This is also the cry of every identity politics twit with a social media account.
The Last Jedi
sanbell D.C. new slogan....
In sequels to classics I can somewhat understand catering to the fandom though. There is a certain respect you need to pay to the prequels and the groundwork they laid.
But this is a standalone new movie. A female lead tackling topics of loving yourself for what you are. Stop whining ffs XD
Also why Star wars megafans don't like new star wars movies.
"I think we've reached peak snowflake."
Maher read my mind. It's the K2 of snowflakes.
Bill Maher you are so gross . No human is physically ugly just because other humans don’t find them attractive , or just because that person does not reach conventional standards. My taste isn’t aligned with the conventional standards or what members of society decided . “ better looking “ , who is better looking ? Like some countries believe that light skin is the attractive beauty ideal and now more people are changing that , Back then “ curves” weren’t trendy and were considered fat , not so long ago - big lips were actually considered ugly and black American women were actually teased for it . Someone is better looking because someone is your personal taste ? Someone is “ beautiful “ because they happen to attract you ? I’ve never my entire life used the word “ beauty “ on another human ... based on aesthetic features. Many instances where genuinely someone may reach the standards of parts of society and I genuinely feel nothing and have a Total different taste . I don’t define or rule anyone out based on that . Because of your opinion - we are supposed to decide who is above others ? Because someone ain’t your taste or because you aren’t attracted to someone , they become ugly ? We use the term ugly , when we refer to garbage or a an ugly act . Yet you think it’s okay to refer to humans who are of a different colour , difference face shape , body shape - as ugly ? We call an innocent that didn’t commit an ugly as ugly ? How is that okay ? Many children report to actually be bullied ,mostly due to comments about appearance .. yet we want to pretend like it’s science and biology to bully adults and view them in an ugly way ? Based on their god given aesthetics ? We can say that someone doesn’t attract many people conventionally - that’s fine . But understand that your shallow view of them does not define them. It’s not nature, biological or scientific ( like they try to convince you ) that some people are ruled as ugly - because their aesthetics are different . Do you even know what ugly is ? So many people and especially women have so many eating disorders , self worth and self image issues - because they are discriminated against for not looking a Certain way , because they are mistreated for not looking a certain way and are viewed in a disgusting way , why ? Because they are disgusting ? Because they did something disgusting ? No . Because they have their own beautiful unique facial features and body shape . There is a minority of people who don’t find the people you call ugly as ugly . There are some people in the world that aren’t attracted to the people you say are the only “ beautiful “ people . Many humans can not live with themselves .. knowing that they are viewed as ugly . Maybe instead of telling people to accept mistreatment , bullying, discrimination and accept that who society deems as physically attractive is above you and that’s “ above you “ - teach people that the “ better looking “ isn’t based off of your perception that changes even with the trends and popularity .
@@Jay-cy4js U know what the thing is? If u looked good according to most ppl, u wouldn't have written any of that
@@Jay-cy4js Did your fingers hurt after that?
When you can be able-bodyshamed, we definitely have reached peak snowflake.
"The answer isn't to insist that everyone in society love you exactly the way you are, it's to learn to tell the ones who don't that you don't need them." A great point, brilliantly stated and also a far more empowering position to be in. I am certainly not what mainstream society considers cool or beautiful but I am a lot of other things that are of value which I have come to recognize. If I wait for everyone else to get it I will be waiting a long time and that is time that no one has. We also need to get over this idea that people and the art they create must be everything to everyone. Support what you love but don't be so insecure that everything that exists outside of what you want to see is some kind of threat. I enjoyed this movie, I enjoyed black panther and I enjoy Ken Burns documentaries. They were all great and did what they set out to do. You can support the causes you care about without trying to make everything fit a particular mold. Your point of view can be valid valid without it being the only point of view. Successful comedians certainly understand this.
Well said. Entertainment is a market. Watch what you like. Don't watch what you don't, and don't insist on "cancelling" it. Live and let live.
As a Black woman, I didn't realize all the hoopla surrounding this movie. I love the concept and still want to go see it. Ill save my fight for real issues.
What relevance does the "As a black woman..." have to do with this? What are you trying to say?
Gerard Jagroo - I think it’s because Bill talks about it several times in this video, as it was brought up by numerous critics (also referenced several times in the video).
The hoopla starts with the fact that people start sentences with shit like, "as a black woman..."
Your sentence works just fine and makes the same point without that first part.
Whenever anyone starts a sentence with the words "As a" and then explains what they are I automatically think they are a pretentious fuck face.
as a white man i would like to tell you to shut your piehole
I'm a liberal and I totally agree with Bill on this. I get that liberals, especially younger ones, want to be sensitive to the feelings of others. But lord this is becoming a solution in search of a problem. Both extremes, right and left have become parodies of themselves and common sense has gone out of the window. There are real issues that need addressing, a middling Amy Schumer comedy is not one of them.
Meanwhile we keep losing to conservatives on real economic, bread-and-butter issues. Next thing, can't even call them bread-and-butter issues. Gluten free toast and margarine issues.
United we stand, divided we fall. Identity matters less when we ALL have adequate food, water, shelter, healthcare, and access to education and opportunity.
Lillithowl I don't even think it's about being sensitive. It's about having no self esteem and instead of working hard to build their own, they have to attack others' achievements. It's the ugly side of believing everyone is equal, clearly they're not
I think the problem on both sides is this simplistic, black-and-white thinking that has become the norm in America. Everything has to be either irredeemably evil or completely wonderful, and there is no room for nuanced debate. If an opinion can't fit into a soundbite, it won't be heard. The difference is that conservatives tend to use physical violence to express their displeasure, while liberals say something nasty on twitter.
@@kitcoffey7194 Gluten free toast and PLANT-BASED spread. Margarine is bad for you. Or how about just going all the way & calling it "gluten free toast w/ avocado spread"? All mocking aside, today's "liberals" have lost much of the United States b/c of divisive, EXCLUSIVE identity politics. If the Left focused on things they USED to focus on,- labor issues & the environment (not just global warming),- they would be talking about issues that bring people together based on common concerns, which helps to unite people. This emphasis on what makes us different does not promote understanding. It just makes people sick of hearing about the concerns of particular populations while large swaths of people are ignored. I'm not just talking about white people, either. Black people have always taken all the attention when talking about race, when there are terrible problems faced by Native Americans (extreme poverty, alcoholism, domestic violence) that never get any attention, even now. Martin Luther King, Jr. & Bobby Kennedy understood this & they worked with ALL poor people to unite them & address their common issues & it got them killed. Now we have a generation of people that fall apart if they aren't protected from having their opt-in imaginary oppression (this is particularly true re "trans" issues, which has morphed into a term that no longer has any meaning e.g. "a trans people is anyone who says they are trans," & is at odds with LGB people & women) put into perspective in the larger context of progress & history. Meanwhile, species are going extinct at 1,000x the usual rate b/c humans have become our own asteroid, biodiversity is collapsing, & we are losing beautiful & fascinating species & ecosystems b/c people don't give a shit about the only home we ALL have & its ability to sustain life. Serious issues affecting billions of people, like making universal family planning & free contraception available for everyone & the education of girls & women,- 2 things that would DRAMATICALLY improve the quality of life for poor people around the world, would lower the population & decrease the human footprint on natural resources, & would help women provide for their families, while also creating economic opportunities that don't rely on the exploitation of children & MODERN-DAY SLAVE LABOR & the destruction of the natural world. That's what we should have spent trillions of dollars on instead of squandering our treasure on wars & military occupations.
@@VarnaVix It's more than saying something nasty on Twitter! Try saying something like, "Men are not women," or, "women need spaces free of male-bodied people," & you will be deluged with hate from the Left trans demands activists who will try to get people fired by harassing their employer, will get people THROWN OFF Twitter for what these snowflakes call "hate speech" (saying the definition of a woman is, "Adult human female" is considered hate speech in silicon valley), they go after their employers to try to get people fired, they have a huge misinformation campaign about what someone said (like JK Rowling) & all the bobbleheaded SJWs pass along the hate for her & others w/o ever actually reading or considering what she/they said. There is a STRONG authoritarian movement on the Left. And women HAVE been assaulted by trans demands activists for standing up for the rights of biological women (not men who say they are women b/c of some vague "gender identity". Regarding race, Antifa & the people who took over the BLM movement in Portland harrassed people on the streets (I've seen videos) & there were riots, destroying public & private property & intimidating people, for 100 straight nights before the mayor finally cracked down on it. Some on the Left just want to tear everything down (statues of Lincoln & Grant, the legacy of Susan B. Anthony, etc. for not passing the purity test) or take over what others have built (men taking over women's spaces, sports, & services by simply claiming they are women,- including sex offenders being placed in women's prisons, & male-bodied people in domestic violence shelters & rape crisis centers & if you don't let men in, these hateful people will shut you down, go after your funding, etc.). They aren't interested in building anything. Women worked for a century to get the spaces, services, & sports that gave them opportunities & safety from men who ARE physically stronger (which is why the overwhelming majority of rapes is men raping or assaulting women, not the other way around), but now men just want to claim them for their own by saying they are women & the idiots on the Left support this & are applauded for it! Instead of building services for trans people, they want to force themselves on women. That's something MEN do, not women. It's a men's "rights" movement in dressed up as a civil rights issue & the Left will throw LGB people, women, & children under the bus to protect these poor, defenseless men from being deprived of the right to show their penises to women & girls & to make women & girls uncomfortable.
However, what you said about simplistic thinking on both Left & Right is true, and how everything is communicated in soundbites & tweets & there is no nuanced debate or real discussion of issues. The way big tech companies drive us into our information bubbles further makes communication,- or even awareness of reality outside our bubble,- impossible to believe or even comprehend. The dichotomy of you are either pure in every word & thought i.e. part of the CULT,- or you are evil, is true on both the Left & Right.
We have 2 massive, authoritarian political cults in the U.S. today (and in many western countries, but it's really pronounced here with the Trump cult on the Right & the identity politics cult on the Left), with people being sent down rabbitholes of radicalization & polarization by Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook, CZcams, & other social media. I honestly don't know how we are going to get out of this. Big Tech, which includes the most powerful & influential businesses in history, is not on the side of truth & reason. They sell an addiction more widespread than that of the tobacco industry & they are as ubiquitous & seen as indispensable as the fossil fuel industry. Outraged people stay on their platforms sharing the latest hate posts about how awful someone is. Outrage generates clicks & Likes & sharing far more than do posts encouraging nuanced thought, facts, reason, & understanding of the concerns of reasonable people. Humans are emotionally driven and the bombardment of social media content rachets up the emotions. We never evolved to handle so many people & so much information coming at us with such speed. Was it Mark Twain that said something like, "A lie can travel around the world before the truth has even put its shoes on," or some facsimile thereof? And that was a century ago when communication was much slower. Confirmation bias is EASY; it's the lazy person's way of navigating a complex world because mental effort is exhausting. Facing reality is mentally laborious. It's far easier to just keep reinforcing what you already believe & WANT to believe.
Bill Maher is great. I don’t agree with him politically, but he is a voice of reason in an era of chaos.
You are assuming that a few people who get in the media are somehow nearly as relevant as your buddies would like you to think them...
That's on you - not on the rest of us
Growing up as the fat kid I decided to do what I saw in tv/movies and pretended to be confident even though I had low self-esteem and right away my friend circle grew and I stopped caring what people thought of the way I looked because somehow as big as I was I was also invisible to most till I put on the act. After a while, I really did feel confident and I became popular in a sea of beautiful people who I realized ended up having even less self-esteem than I did. It changed how I looked at the world and taught me that confidence ( but not arrogance) looks good on everyone.
"When will liberals learn that barking at nothing will make people not want to listen when you have something to say?" Gold
Too true. They ignore real issues and focus on this crap??
We all learn the story "the boy that cried wolf" when we are kids... some of us forget it.
MaxSantos Exactly what I was going to say. Those stories, and the lessons within, actually matter. Even when we're grown up. Especially when we're grown up, and can actually impact the world.
sir sir sir that is hate speech Liberals are losing power everyday why doesn't anyone listen to us anymore
Stephen Harrigan Just look at Trump. Most of us are already there with him. He's the epitome of the "boy that cried wolf" , we can't believe anything he says !
Bill nails it again. The false outrage, and being offended by everything. It has to stop.
Outrage generates revenue, though. It's not going to stop anytime soon, given the current climate where everyone on every side of an issue is just looking for someone to scream something insane that they can parrot on their social media for the next month or so.
Ironically it is us who prop up the soapbox. We need to stop clicking on these stories and making their voices heard so they will go away
As a liberal, I strongly agree with him here. Hell, of all politically outspoken public figures, I agree with him more than just about anyone else. That said, conservatives should note--and Bill spends most of the rest of his time pointing this out--that conservatism of the past 30 years is also rooted in victimhood and snowflakery. For example, getting up in arms when a cashier at Rite Aid doesn't say "Merry Christmas" or whining about baking gay couples a wedding cake or moaning about how "librul elites" sometimes call out their behavior. Our entire society is built around victimhood and various shades of political correctness. The right is not immune.
tacoeatingzebra wait a second so if someone came into a bake shop and ask for a nazi cake you think it would be wrong to deny that person service? Complaining about Merry Christmas isnt the problem its the annoying athiest saying we arent allowed to say it. The left is the problem not the right.
The right has its share of problems though. While I agree with you completely on Christmas, the Christians on the right get offended if you do not say Merry Christmas. Many of them got up in arms when Starbucks stopped putting it on their cups and started a boycott. The right is very much in the wrong about a lot of these issues too, but I will say that this problem is more prevalent on the left
Cameron McKown I am centre. And I don’t consider myself atheist, that’s being said it wasn’t atheists who complained about merry Christmas. It was other religions. Atheism jumped on board because they, along with other regions, wanted to be included in the public sector equally, just as Christianity. I’m not so big in this topic, but that’s basically what happened.
brettdarrellpatrick Don't lump all of religions together into these arguments. "I'm not so big on the topic, but that's basically what happened" - I disagree completely, as an atheist who doesn't care what people say to me at the grocery store check out. Atheism is not about being equally represented in the public sector, it's simply about not participating in the religious-political debates and politics that don't concern us.
Liam Milligan you don’t speak for the majority of atheists.. I’m referring to international and national institutions that spoke out.. I think they speak for the majority.
1:57 As a filmmaker I have to say that this is THE most spot on that Bill has ever been!!
Amy shouldn't have apologized there are always going to be people easily offended. Don't waste your time trying to make them like you.
she's now going to get eaten alive
Tesla Stark It's troubling when the New York Times engages in ferociously stupid idebtiry politics but who gives a shit if click bait rags like Newsweek or Time do it? They are no longer news magazines that we spent wasting time reading in the school library 25 years ago. They employ the sane simpleton activists pretending to be journalists. The constantly outraged deserve nothing more than to be constantly ignored. Stop paying attention to them and stop apologizing.
Yeah Amy, don't bit the hand that feeds you ,you past tense bitch.
Tesla Stark exactly. Almost as bad as the apology from the guy who speaks Apu in the Simpsons. That one was even worse.
She should apologize for being dry as a box of ashes.
5:37 "When will liberals learn that barking at nothing makes people not want to listen when you actually have something to say." Amen!
Have you read Conservatives comments if Trump's tweets.
_窮 I'm sure he would day that too, but conservatives don't listen. I'm not a fan of the overreacting pc, but it's less hypocritical when Conservative talk about moral high ground, then give Trump a pass
prof shad, I agree too. The difference is that there's constant crying wolf and getting calloused that it diminishes an overall voice vs the constantly willingly contradictory and/or willfully ignorant. But sadly the loudest most controversial voices on both sides (whether sockpuppet or russian bot) take precedent skewing a polarized populace when in actuality the majority are on a fairly middle ground and aren't as extreme as either side really are.

How dare you say something reasonable. I better get the alt-right and the SJWs to pound you into the ground for not being on their side.
right.....
Clearly, today’s feminists have never read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. Or maybe they disregarded the fable because the main character was male.
It was a patriarchan stories, which perpetuate vicious specist stereotype against wolves.

Well done for calling out The Independent in the UK. It's all opinion and no news.
Bill one of the few liberal voices against this sjw nightmare!
So true! One of the few liberals to do so.
One of the best liberals out there. Bill Maher is my spiritual animal :)
His first show is called "Politically Incorrect." His carrer is built on trashing PC police.
I would totally agree but he isn't liberal. That's the great thing. He's pretty moderate leaning left I'd say.
I thought he was supposed to be a comic? Now he's on the rag constantly.
I love Bill Maher more and more every week, so spot on. He is the kind of liberal we need more of.
For all those who state that Bill Maher never comes down on liberals as hard as he does conservatives,
PLEASE TELL THEM TO WATCH THIS VIDEO 👍🖖
There is a huge difference in tone - gentile criticism for "liberals" - visceral hatred for conservatives - with a punchline!
I am a liberal..
Mostly because I learnt from the likes of Bill Maher, George Carlin, Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.
D. Wilson I completely agree, and I’ll add Hitchens to my own personal list
Sam Harris is liberal? Yeah...so is Henry Kissinger by that logic.
@@mckenzie.latham91 what has he said that is illiberal?
@ Max West nothing, he's just been slammed as a Nazi by moral posturers for daring to attempt nuance. I think his main crime against the left has been his opposition to certain far right aspects of Islam. Go figure.
George Carlin is far from a liberal. He hated the government.
It's sad that only a few people in the audience clap at the Gal Gadot - Wonder Woman being loved by feminists line. Brilliant point by Bill and the writers.
Rahul Chandnani i thought the feminist were mad at wander woman for having shaved arm pits

"NOT the PALESTINIANS "
@@elbobov13 So I guess you are one of those people who gets offended by everything.
@@joecollas9942 your comment is old, but it just makes no sense for a bunch of women, who are nowhere near men, to be shaved at all. It likely wouldn't even come to their minds.
The problem is that people dont know how to think rationally. Everything is ideology or emotional rant.
Exactly. Extremists seem to rant so often without any clear plan or ideas of how to change whatever they are upset about. Like if you really want change you have to get up and initiate yourself.
Come on in all fairness Amy Schumer should apologise for anything she appears in.
Hahahaha love this, so true
Yes exactly.
I get its her act and thats the joke. But that joke only works compaired to the Hollywood ideal. honestly compaired to the wallmart ideal that is most of America amy shumer is above most. Shes ok looking. Not great, but not awful. If she was the wife of some guy in your office nobody would mind her looks.
I don't like Amy Schumer either, but thinking you have a right to enjoy everything that's made is pretty entitled. I don't like when boomers call us entitled, so don't prove them right😉
Fuck you hater !
Yes I agree. I have only watched parts of her standup and movies but just cut them off. Not funny, to me.
I listen to Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, but I love Bill Maher too. Dude has his heart in the right place and even though we disagree on politics, I still like the show.
The fact that this “controversy” is a thing is the reason why I as a black progressive agree with liberal policies, but hate liberals.
It’s okay to laugh without it being intellectually problematic!!
Dude, as a white progressive, I feel exactly the same way. The right wing capitalise on this kind of thing unfortunately
sanbell amen brother
It makes it even harder for those of us in the middle, especially in the era of Trump, this really is part of the reason that piece of trash got elected
Can you try to Talk Sense to "Those People"?! They ARE Killing themselves. I'm sure they have a lot of Health Problems and worries
sanbell Just wait until you start seeking out the actual numbers behind modern liberal policies. You won't be liberal for long. Join the new middle ground. Or call yourself a classical liberal. Doesn't matter. People just need to get out of their bubbles and start digesting and accepting facts again. It can brme uncomfortable but ultimately liberating.
I love how bill is making his audience uncomfortable again
"Should we clap? Is there anyone else clapping?! Better to wait and clap when more people are clapping."
Too many sex jokes, Bill. I can't let my 90 year old parents watch your show because of the unfunny sex references.
and he tries to make them comfortable again by dropping in an extremely weak melania joke halfway through. *"HE MAKE TRUMP JOKE. OK WE IS ALLOWED TO LAFF NOW."*
Paul, your 90 year old parents have HBO? Keep them away from Game of Thrones. To Uh "protect them" from having sex jokes, wait how'd you get here?
I didn't care for the Melania joke. She's in a tough situation, and she should be off limits as far as I'm concerned. She obviously did not want to be first lady, and had this situation thrust upon her. I feel bad for her.
The one-liners in this are top fucking notch. I love how Bill is unabashed to slam his own party. Perfection
Isn't feminism about empowering every woman no matter what their story is? Not berating them just because they're women? When did it become this?
Neha violet
about 10 years ago...
Feminism was another great movement that was hijacked by the mentally ill members just because they yell the loudest. You'll notice that every movement eventually falls apart because of this, no matter how or from where it originates.
Amen!
feminism was actually about gettinh equal rights (such as voting and such) real feminism isnt needed in western society but rather in eastern, feminism in western society is practically a way to "fit in" with the "inclusive collective"
Intersectionality is to blame. Nowadays feminism it's a tick-box of oppressed characteristics, not empowerment.
I'm a liberal and I think every liberal should learn from Bill Maher. Today's liberals have gone off the rails with identity politics.
Bestline7 stop calling far left as libersls
those are just far leftists or SJW's .
burningknight7 why don't people make the distinction.
yup i am sick of conservatives puting liberals and SJWs in the same bag.
Bill Maher is a neoliberal not far left. SJWs are not far left or far right or anything besides fucking stupid.
LOL " Black panther shoulda had more Puerto Ricans"
It's crazy that 3 years later in 2021, almost nothing has changed, and many may say has even gotten worse. But I think and hope that the overwhelming majority of people are seeing the madness of it all and will protect freedom of expression.
'I think we've reached peak snowflake' is the best line ever🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Universe BILL MAHER is still around ...what do we do after he's gone???!
how much?
We collapse
Tyler..ya I bet you do....I am NO feminist so when I show tits, I WANT men to collapse...every time. No ME TOO crap w me. ever
We all continue doing Bill Maher's work, which we could be doing right now. Don't expect one person to do everything. If we all collectively fight back against bullshit and stand up for those who get shit on, we can easily do more than he can alone. There is great strength in numbers. We just have to be motivated and morally steady.
I got $0.50 towards a set of tits being seen, who wants to throw in on it?
People get so offended nowdays no matter their political identity, mostly so they can appear interesting and enlightened and justify their political leanings in the first place
And I think also so they can climb the greasy pole of social media influence by putting down other people.
and maybe also because they're afraid of being labelled racist or something else if they say they like something that isn't starring and completely about a minority group. plenty of people have already lost their jobs because they've agreed with someone or something that wasn't 110% PC.
I don't know if I should thank God. For having you on earth. We sure need more open minded guys like you who put things in a enjoyable way. Keep it up your the master of what you do!
Bill on fire!!!! So many priceless quotes and moments, thank you!!
Bill Maher is a national treasure
Paul DiMuzio yeah but of what nation?
1:08 I remember after the second Wonder Woman trailer, where she picks up a tank & screams, some people were upset that she was a warrior but didn't have hair under her armpits.
Nobody said that.
Opera Falcon Oh yes they did.
joethehero2 CZcams comments are not people.
Opera Falcon No, but someone had to post that. Thus someone wrote it.
Opera Falcon also, this.

Looking at this sort of thing from a European perspective I feel like I'm reading "1984" or "Brave New World" all over again. It's scary. It's a scary dystopia, this whole Political Correctness hysteria. I'm so glad that I live in a country where I can openly and fiercely criticize the excesses of radical feminists/snowflakes/SJW (and so forth) in front of my college students and actually have 90% of them openly agreeing with me! Stay strong, open-minded, intelligent, educated Americans out there - we stand by you.
The critics are ridiculous. The gist of the movie is that she finds out that looks aren't everything and your confidence doesn't have to be tied to your looks. Also, finds out that even modelesque women have confidence issues also and aren't automatically happy just because they are beautiful. This story has been told a million times.
Can't we just hate the Amy Schumer movie because Amy isn't technically funny?
Not on the comment list for this video, because that's entirely off the topic and the entire reason you had a platform in this space to throw out your non-sequitur. You literally just posted a comment about something that had nothing to do with a single second of the video, or any point made within.
mindlessgonzo well said
There is no such thing as "technically funny".
Cap'n Heelee You must be fun at parties.
If you watched the video, you wouldn't be making this comment.
Censorship used to be a problem for the last few centuries. And now we have a different problem: being offended by every little thing. People in society have to train themselves to being so highly sensitive.
And guess what? We discriminate heavily against poor, ugly, and short people but you never see people bring up these issues. People just need to play social justice warriors when it suits their boredom.
Censorship is getting worse in places like Russia, thanks to religion...
You're right my comment was considering mostly America. Of course it doesn't help that Putin assassinates critics
You left out "ageism". I'm getting "older", and I end up blinking for a second when I hear how casually some "older" people are accused of being "senile", etc., when the fact is that they're just stupid and always have been. (Did you just hear Maher, in his monologue, joke about Trump and Guilliani being "senile"? And, yet, Maher is no spring chicken himself).
And, on a more serious note, try being 50, getting laid off from your job, and finding another one that pays as well.
It's happening daily across the country. Businesses want "youth" because they feel they present a better image AND they can pay them less. Plus, they believe that ALL older people are too "set in their ways" and have no interest in seeing them first as individuals rather than one homogenous group.
But, to get back to your point, discriminating against people because of their (older) age is quite acceptable. And, young liberals/progressives are just as guilty---if not more so---than conservatives. (I'm a liberal).
Thanks for this. Considering art in cultural context is important, and when people make something out of nothing, they minimize the truly racist, sexist, homophobic, ablest etc. elements in our society that do need examined. Poor Amy - she can't win---these so-called liberals condemn her for being too pretty, but look at the comment section of any of her videos: sexist trolls go out of their way to call her all kinds of ugly! People who care about equality of all people, free speech and *humor* need to get together instead of tearing each other down. I like you, Bill, and I disagree with you about some things, and I like that I can disagree with you sometimes and still really dig what you have to say! Liberals need to muster the ability to have conversation with each other, or we'll never be able to get the guts to converse with the other side!
Standing ovation on this one, Bill. Brilliant.
"Wouldn't a bolder, more progressive version of Black Panther have been called Puerto Rican Panther?"
Firm Glutes how dare you? Don’t you know everything has to do with black people, that they are the only race misrepresented and mistreated? Evereything gotta be about them!!!
Firm Glutes And excuse me... What about African American? Why do these great characters have to be reduced to a color? What not acknowledge their ethnic roots?
Maybe Native American Panther would be best.
No! It has to be "The panthers that are black or Puerto Rican"
We need Asian Tiger superhero NOW! Else humanity is not progressive enough
Don't ever stop Bill, I absolutely love your honesty.
“Movie reviews? They’re not even reviews anymore! All they are is “How come you made the movie you wanted to make and not the movie I would have made!?”
Bill, I’ve been yelling this to the internet for YEARS!!!
Barking at nothing makes people not want to listen when you actually have something to say.
I’m really not a fan of Any Schumer. But this is ridiculous.
What's wrong with the audience, are they too offended to hear the truth?
RHS I know, especially the ones that always boo Bill Maher. LOL. New rule: Never boo Bill Maher. Often times he gets pretty pissed off when you boo him.
No. You’re looking too hard into it.
They're probably tired of hearing his shit.
No, they're just aware that it's a universal truth that Amy is the worst, so when people defend her, you have to be like, "Wait, are you also the worst?" They are mentally adding another strike to his record.
You're not wrong, you're fine. Anybody who reviews her badly (ie honestly) is not and can never be wrong.
Bill Maher takes it dissects it and dishes it out. Brutal sharp and accurate.
I love Bill Maher
Anybody else noticed that the far right and the far left are both very white? Except one side is gay and the other is secretly gay.
Oh my god hahahaha
lmao
:)
Najm J I'm a secretly gay leftist. 😲
Hilarious 🤣
I'm very progressive, and as a committed Leftist myself, we have to stop turning on each other. Amy Schumer used to be the icon of feminism, and people would defend her at the slightest insult. But now you turn your backs on her because of a fucking movie? We have a problem on the Left, and it has nothing to do with movies or Amy Schumer. It has to do with RESPECT! Let's look out for each other, and unseat all of the Republicans come this fall and later in years.
If I Feel Pretty had starred the Predator it would have been totally awesome... Even a black female Predator ;)
I'm down for a predator murdering pretentious rom-com characters.
Heck ya!
"For Christ's Sake, can't it just be funny?"
Certainly asking a lot for an Amy Schumer movie...
"...except when Eddie Murphy did it, he didn't have the purity police up his ass."
Actually, he did. Even back then, there was a nontroversy before and after the movie came out from overweight folks who felt the film was insensitive, fat-shaming and made too many jokes at the expense of fat people. Never mind the film's end goal and message, where Sherman is loved and accepted as he is. It wasn't enough for some people who just don't know what to do with themselves if they don't have something to be mad about. Same with Shallow Hal.
Point is, this is nothing new. It just feels like it is because now we have social media, so we're being exposed to it more often.
John Pavlich Yet America gets fatter and weaker every year.
Not originally mine so have at it. :)
And, he lost out on the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Dreamgirls," because he made "Norbit," a movie about a hateful, fat Black woman, in the same year...
Thank you. Folks really do seem to have selective amnesia about a lot of *ish these days.😒
"Can't it just be funny?"
Well, Amy Schumer is in it... So, no, not really...
Okay! 🙄 Never funny that's Amy Schumer. 🤐
@@Zeldarw104 She's the funniest female standup today. Ergo, no she's not funny.
Don't ever change Bill!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
U know as a 26 year old we need more people like him calling us all out on our bullshit otherwise how would we learn
I'm a simple man. I see predator I click
The TT same
The now rare Bill that I like appears once again
ToothyFrog simply because he opinion is in line with yours on this topic and he articulated the point better than you ever could?
Tim Terrell Even perfect articulation of a valid point fails to sway the indoctrinated, ignorant and uneducated. Never lay pearls at the feet of swine. Never argue with an idiot lest you be brought down to their level. It's impossible to enlighten that which is completely captive in darkness. Better to keep one's distance as they self-destruct.
I think I have become addicted to Mr. Maher.
Thanks again Bill. Solid piece.
People complaining about Bill always fighting about the significant rise of PC when in fact, Bill is perhaps the only one in TV (or maybe hollywood) I can think of fighting this.
bunnyblurrz Everyone is fighting PC you idiot.
I've watched it.
My dislike for the movie is solely predicated on the fact that it's a bad movie.
That's fair. I'd like to see more of that, fairness and objectivity.
Thanks, again, Bill! Please keep up the good work.
finally somebody said it publically !!! thanks bill
it's more like she remade Shallow Hal.
Jesse Harrington Shallow Hal could never be made today. Gwyneth Paltrow would be exiled out of the country
Did Shallow Hal get hypnotized into thinking he was a shapely hunk?
NJGuy1973 he saw "inner beauty" and thought a 400 pound charity worker was the hottest woman in the world.
Jesse Harrington or did Shallow Hal remake the remake of The Nutty Professor?
Boobalopbop Gwyneth Paltrow should be run out of the country for all that BS she sells.
I don't like how Amy Schumer steals jokes from other comedians (look it up if you don't believe me), but it was ridiculous that she had to apologize for taking this role because she is not a woman of color.
The point is that she didn't have to apologise. But once the eternally offended mafia send their minions after you, it is expected that you have to calm them down with said apology or potentially kiss your career goodbye.
Bill I love your honesty and I am a big fan of it .. you say what people avoid saying in order to be politically correct.
I love that you call bullshit when one is there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Don’t agree with a lot of what he says, but at least Maher is honest and calls out hypocrisy when he sees it.
If you don’t like how the movie was done, how it was cast, then make one yourself if you think you can do better. You don’t have to like every movie, but at least judge it on its own merits not because it didn’t meet a certain quota. Are we going to split every strand of hair for now on? If we are, than let’s give up on all rational thought. Christ we take everything so literally.
Brian OSullivan you mean liberally not literally.
Are you Serious? Nice job at failing to come up with an original rebuttal. Let me guess, you’re part sheep/part parrot.
I'm sick of hearing this SJW crap about "fat shaming". When did a serious health condition like obesity (typically caused by a lack of self control) become something to be celebrated ?
God damn I love how real Bill Maher is. This. THIS is real shit.
This is SO SPOT ON. Thank you!
No Bill it can't be funny. It has Amy Schumer.
Jake Roosenbloom she does steal jokes, but I get his point here.
Oh crap someone beat to making this comment.
Bill is now 100percent Jewish as opposed to fifty percent. He should get a show on MSNBC,no wasp zone. Is this his new idea of funny. Fuck off Bill
she can be funny about 1% of the time.
Catalina Simmons yeah right! Fuck off! Nobody wants to hear your lousy opinion.
lol Maher Nailed it lol
Bill should drop the term liberal and just say if your position is stupid, I'm going to point it out.
He isn't a politician, he doesn't need the support of the party, and it's amazing how I'm thinking the same thing before I hear him say it. He has a more balanced view partly because he listens to conservatives. also he has a staff of people who can check out claims and find out if they are true. Young people see something on the internet and immediately think it is true. That's dangerous. Keep up the good work Bill.
Bill is going to be something to see ten years from now.
I don't even like Amy Schumer but this had made me want to go out and support this movie.
What's wrong with snowflakes?!
And to people saying what's wrong with the world, nothing is wrong with the world, this crap is only in America so please stop it before it spreads.
Only in America?
Sir...you clearly have no idea...
Why wasn't the routine done by a woman of color?
"13 going on 30 years a slave" 🤣🤣🤣
How is it a remake of the Nutty Professor? The Nutty Professor he literally becomes thinner and more confident with the formula (because it's a Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde adaptation).
Zachary Manning and the nutty professor was funny
"How come you made the movie you made and not the movie I would have made " - Bill Maher
Very well said bill!
Bill Maher has just been on point recently
Bill Maher rocks
“Why did you make the movie you made instead of the one I would have made?”
“A man is a critic when he can’t be an artist in the same way a man is an informant when he can’t be a good soldier.”
amy is getting a taste of her medicine, she always tries to police jokes and now when the backlash is on her everyone thinks its gone too far, celebrities shouldn't cater to these stupid blogs and it blows my mind that they have this much power, bill maher always keeps it real on this issue.
Every form of entertainment is supposed to challenge and progress our society now.
"Black Panther shoulda had more Puerto Ricans" LMAOOOO
1:58-2:04 replace “movie” with “video game” and you got yourself a perfect description of the current gaming community. “How come you made the video game you wanted to make and not the video game I wanted to make?”
Maher is 100 percent right
I love Bill seriously how does he come with all this stuff
I didn't even know about the movie until now. His observations are valid.
