New Rule: If every time you call a customer service line the recording says "we are experiencing higher than average call volume" then they need to adjust their average. And hire more agents.
AMEN, Bill. Great material, that's why I come here.
He's right you know. Standards have slipped. How can we feel accomplished, and feel we've earned our time off, when the time off is all the time?
Giovanni Magnus honestly, I somewhat disagree. Since the workload has increased significantly for most studies and jobs, everything needs to be done faster and better at that. Stress is higher, so after work or an exam people do feel they need a mini vacation. Some people however could be stimulated more but might be lost causes.

You are correct that more people are completing high school and earning college degrees than ever before. However, earning a high school or college degree does not necessarily equate to a greater work ethic when graduates enter the work force nor does it equate to graduates dressing appropriately for the work place. Since 1900, the number of hours worked per week on average has declined significantly. Personally, I don't think that's a bad thing because generally speaking, the more time parents can spend with their children the better and the less stress people have the better.
However, I can't help but wonder what would happen if this generation were asked to do some of the great public works or great scientific achievements that were done in the first 70 years of the 20th century. Things like hydroelectric dams, the interstate highway system, the Panama Canal, or going to the moon. All of these things took massive effort and far more hours than the standard 40 hour work week and much smarter use of money than we could do today. You may look at these accomplishments as nothing special, but ask yourself why nothing similar is being done today in the U.S. or by U.S. workers. Could today's recent college graduates do these things? Maybe, but I'm not so sure they would be willing to sacrifice the way previous generations did.

To be fair to my generation, we're going to have to perform some even greater public works than those you've mentioned. Fixing the ever more erratic climate (or at the very least mitigating the damage) might be the greatest example.
And part of the problem may be a lack of opportunity to rise to the occasion in creating lasting generational monuments. The current federal government isn't investing in the people but in tax cuts. It makes it difficult to compete in generational comparison when no one is taking the helm. This doesn't even take into account the massive debt we've already been settled with (form college loans), which will occupy a significant portion of our energy fending off.
All I'm really saying is it's impossible to compare the works of a previous generation with the potential of the current one without laying out all of the extenuating circumstances.
Melancholy
You do realize that I said that I don't think it's a bad thing that people are working fewer hours these days, don't you? My comment was only to ask if today's generation could step up and do some of the things that were done by previous generations that required a tremendous work ethic if they had to. Today's generation might be able to if they had to, then again, maybe not. I worked with younger people before I retired and many of them gave up on problems that I ended up solving. I solved those problems by working longer and harder than they were willing to do. It certainly doesn't mean that all young people are this way, but it was my experience with my co-workers.

I don't think that solving the climate change issue is that difficult. We already know how to create green energy and we know that burning coal and oil must be stopped sooner rather than later. Of course convincing idiots to do the right thing is more difficult. I would call solving climate change more of a technological issue rather than a work ethic issue. Oil companies and the government should be investing heavily in solar panel materials research and energy storage solutions. Every time I debate a climate change denier, I tell them that the sun provides 20,000 times more energy each day to the Earth than all humans consume in a day and it's totally free energy. That tends to shut down the debate pretty quickly.
I completely agree with you on taxes and where the money is being spent. When the interstate highway system was initiated under Eisenhower, the top federal income tax was 90% and many people see that as the best economy this country has ever had. I'm not advocating a 90% top tax rate, but you sure as hell can't have massive infrastructure spending while cutting taxes as Trump has proposed. It's just a stupid plan, but then you have to consider the source.
I’ve always hated summer ever since I was born. It’s too damn hot, and I don’t know why everyone schedules their vacations during summer. I usually take my vacation in the fall when it actually makes sense to go outside and enjoy nature without sweating buckets and getting skin cancer.
Schools let out in the summers a hundred years ago so that children could work in the fields during summer. Now, with no family farms and global warming giving us Temps over 100 degrees, outside is empty with melting asphalt in the streets, kids are locked in for 3 months with parents begging for summer camps, anything. It just doesn't occur to school systems to change summer breaks to spring or fall. Maybe they just don't want to pay air conditioning bills.
What time off? You practically need to work 80 hours a week for an apartment.
He's referring to the rich. Companies that give people one or two weeks off a year is "DISGRACEFUL". Slave work and slave wages. No more morals or values about family time or Shame....forget it. Greed, greed, greed.
Ah summer , when your Dad told you -- Ice cream trucks only turned the music on when they were out of ice cream
haha xD
ThE DuCk Oooh...smart guy!
ThE DuCk 😆😆😆😆 dad was dead wrong
Wise, caring dad
Your dad was a fucking legend. 🤣
I kind of have to agree, Movies have really been dumbed down. Can anyone remember the last time a movie was popular that wasn't a reboot, sequel, prequel, or adaptation?
Alex Turlais wonder woman
someone else already said Get Out so I'll say Discrict 9 or Arrival
Wonder Woman was technically a reboot. At leas 2 Wonder Woman movies and 2 shows (if not more) came before the new Wonder Woman 2017.
Have there every been a movie that wasn't an adaption?
Interstellar. Definitely not perfect, but ambitious and original nonetheless.
"Grindr for republicans" Having spent time in suburban Utah I can confirm.
That made me smile, can't really describe in great detail why.
KC Nwaneri: "DesertEmpire801 Texas has the largest population of Log Cabin Republicans next to California, so...."
Well, most people who support Republicans aren't really in the know and don't know that the Log Cabin ones are the gay Republicans. Texas as a whole lot of ways to be Republican while dodging the "minor" hate on their "tiny way" they line up with "libtards." Kind of like gay Christians, Jewish Skinheads, Christian capitolists, anything Nazi, racists saying they are not anti-another race but more pro-their race, college kids who think their SJW cause is about equality and-or justice, etc.
My sympathy for Utah and other Brainless areas under the GOP's greasy thumbs.
The downward spiral of stupidity started with “reality” tv. It’s a modern day plague.
One of Bill’s best monologues of all time! Love his rants and his pet peeves 😂
Yo me too!!!
The Meryl Streep line got me laughing to tears.
This one I agree with. I'm old and remember when intelligent educated people were the goal, for schools, for society, and for government. Then came the dumbing up of America beginning in the 1980s. School standards slipped to fill in the bubble tests and regurgitating on printed worksheets instead of reading, interpreting and analyzing, making conclusions and having to support them. Now Americans skip higher order thinking, reading, and art. Now we go to Tictoc, CZcams, and Fox for KNOWLEDGE. No wonder we are ripe victims for the corporate state and fascist persecution.
Bill's 100% right. Dead on!
Oh Bill, you think 2017 is maximum stupidity? That's adorable.
We're behaving as if it's summer all year-round because soon it will be! 😂 Bye-bye, Florida!
as a lifelong Floridian, I say good riddance
Amen, brother!! Bill with more words of wisdom!
as a conservative I actually agree with him on this, people have become stupid 24/7. and honestly it's not even about politics, it's day to day things about basic life actions and decisions. smh #makesummergreatagain
coolrunnings our parent taught us better... we did not do our part... it will always be our job!
Too right ... We live in a totally stupid era ... reality-tv stupid era
Summer romances ? We're some of the best memories of my life!
Bill Maher for President!!!!
I found someone Rosie O'Donnell can play on SNL , huckabee sanders
you didn't find her, she was born for this.
Oh yes! That would be gold.
Rosie was campaigning to play Steve Bannon on SNL! I have to wonder if Sarah Huckabee Sanders has always used her maiden name or is this to say, "see who my daddy is and is NOT!"
Hopefully she keeps the job long enough for SNL to start again.
What is this "SNL" you speak of?
I think since we don't really get a summer vacation (nine days is not a vacation), we tend to be less productive during the time that we are working.
"Grindr for republicans"...........................*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA* burn of the year. Literally made me laugh out loud.
Whats so funny? I use grindr. I'm a democrat though
"Grindr which is for Republicans."😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whats so funny? I use grindr. I'm a democrat though
@@ricky5369 the irony is Republicans are all so anti gay in public and then get caught with a guy. Only someone who's closeted gay with issues could be so anti gay, because straight people don't give a fuck if you want to bang other dudes.
True. Scary True
Flip-flops with socks. My favorite.
That was brilliant - when he speaks about these unwritten summer rules it sounds like from a Seinfeld-episode!
Make Summer Great Again!
MSGA Say that three times fast.
Considering the greenhouse effect, summer might be all year long...
How *Sad*
that our schools are so torturous / uninspiring
that most of us used summer to tune out our brains..?
>.
Channel for Positivity l Understanding l Justice It's when you finally realize that schooling is not meant for what you've been told.
Channel for Positivity l Understanding l Justice I am a teacher, thanks for the vote of confidence. I loved school, get to learn and see friends every day. I wish I could go back to university again . I knew a couple students that thought as you do and they were so negative and didn't accept any responsibility. Meanwhile other students made the most of it, made contributions and got something out of it. I am not sure where you are from, perhaps it is a problem there, or your particular school, but not all students feel the same way you do about school. (I don't teach in the US).
mostliberal fair point. Definitely not for anyone. I loved University, but for many people it is not for them and that is fine. I had social anxiety as a shy geeky kid in high school and there were some unpleasant students there, but I still overall enjoyed seeing my friends, going to class, crushing on girls, etc. My point was not all schools are "torturous, and uninspiring". Perhaps for some, but not everyone.
It's a trap!
Maybe you should do your research on the U.S. public school system before writing her off as a negative person.
I graduated school with top honors and I can honestly say that I don't feel I left school content with my experience. Many American learning institutions are particularly rigid in their curriculums, leaving no room for variables such as students who cannot adjust themselves to the teaching methods used by instructors. We do not all learn the same and that aspect is not accounted for
Channel for Positivity l Understanding l Justice Americans get the least vacation time of any industrialized country.
people have been conditioned to think that they don't deserve vacations in the USA and a few million executives in the country are laughing their butts off oh and taking a month or so off.
Did you know there was a time when the older generation looked down on the younger generation in America because "all they do is read books"? Just food for thought.
A hundred plus years ago?
Grindr for Republicans!!! lol!
You guys are barely celebrating summer? Its been over 100 degrees in Arizona for the past 2 months. Its been summer.
'We are at maximum stupid' True. That's why I'd rather sit in the library all day and R-E-A-D
This segment of new rule is fucking gold
Bill - You forgot "Get off my lawn" :P
No more classes, no more books! No more teaching our kids social responsibility because I want my guns, Funions, piss weak beer, and sweat shop t shirts with misused memes on them!
No more classes, no more books, because we're a bunch of regressive SJW idiots who shut down our college because we hate white people... and then wonder why we'll be on welfare and other social services the rest of our lives....
Bill's such a grumpy old man LOL.
+Michele Barber A Progressive grumpy old man since he's a Bernie bro lol
Michele Barber a lot of young people are saying the same thing - we recognize the stupidity , ignorance and disconnect of the world today
I don't disagree, but he's still a grumpy old man, which I find funny & feel adds to the comedy of this piece.
Bernie bros would have never endorsed Hillary the way Maher did.
+UncleMikeNJ Your historical evidence is true because historically I'd prefer if those Democrats from the past won at the time instead of the Republican Presidents that we got HOWEVER it's not our fault (Bernie Sanders supporters') that Donald Trump is President it's because Hillary Clinton didn't have a fucking message during her campaign and is really corrupt lol
An ode to the idiocy of Trump's America. Priceless!
This is brilliant very funny
There is no peak stupid.
It would be _comforting_ if there were, for that would mean it would get better again eventually.
Dead guy joke was briliant 😂
3:35 to 5:25 just sounds like a typical "back in my day" rant. It's been like this for years now.
Dan Gilmour I've notice that Bill Maher really doesn't like Comic Book Movies.
Yeah, you're right. I remember this isn't the only time he's talked about it.
Brian Magee
I don't either. Maybe if they focused on the actual plot content instead of 2hrs of superfluous action scenes, I'd care more. I'd rather read the comic instead at this point
pookieluvie Your sadly right their are bad comic book movies. But Bill Maher seems to hate them all. Regardless if the story is good and has a moral character arc like Wonder Woman.
Tolyngee, Perhaps not, but you may want to mention it to your doctor.
Get use to it "magnificent stupid" if we don't our act together! VOTE!
I love you Bill! You are the best!!!! At long last intelligence!!
"Peaked Stupid" I love it!👍👍😂😅😅
I've watched your show from the "Beginning of Time!" ❤️❤️ your show!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
5:25 nobody in the working class can afford a vacation anymore
We've been devolving for the last 500 years. This is really no surprise.
Ryan Marshall Rise Of The Planet Of The Kardashians.
I laughed out loud at his remarks about Summer in the beginning. Pretty true lol
So true, so true. Thanks Bill.
Finally someone speaks out about adults playing Candy crush. I lost friends because I wouldn't accept invites to do Candy crush. I do believe people may have hooked up on there. Aren't there message boards in there. So instead of inviting me to double date, I had to be debriefed by an anonymous guy who got to know me without an actual date.
It's true. Hardly anyone reads anymore. And those that do are regarded as freaks.
"Maximum Stoopid"---The Business Ideal!
For a moment, I thought Bill was going to talk about paid vacation
Flip Flops! Oh how I HATE flip flops!!
High Heel Knight the flip flop pajama combo out in public is worse. At 3am at a 7-11 I understand. At 3pm in the mall, WTF?
Out of everything he's fighting here, I'd say dress code is the least important. Silicon valley people make more money than the avg american by a long shot, and they wear exactly what the fuck they want, while being smarter and more physically fit than the rest of us. Can't have everything and I'll gladly pass on fashion. I'd prefer to be smart, in good physical shape, have money, and just wear t shirts and shorts. No thanks on pointless clothes.
He just spent 6 minutes being a crotchety old man. These darn kids today!!! What a weird rant. America has been getting stupider and there's reasons for it but he's clearly just bashing the youth here, as if his generation didn't have anything to do with it. I swear older ppl love to point fingers but they need to point it at themselves.
like Jim Cornette -- "Old man yells at cloud"
That talking raccoon movie is actually not that stupid.
I think it's the exact opposite. Most Americans work harder for less money. So quite a few now work 50, 60, 70 or more hours a week. Summer is for kicking back? Hardly. That's when jobs tend to be most plentiful. If people are being stupid, it's because they are taking 5 minutes out if the day of non stop seriousness year round. Americans work longer and harder than any industrialized country. Yet we feel our standard of living slipping.
I've read 52 books so far this year.....
Kristalia Astari go for 52 2-mile walks... It would be healthier
@@MrTricksterWins not for your brain, but yes, a little of each is the correct amount. Being physically fit is useless if you don't know anything. Just like knowing everything won't help if you're morbidly obese and on dialysis.
if you would load the full New Rules segment, there wouldn't be much reason to watch the pirates' uploads.
lol exactly.
If they uploaded the full New Rules segment, there wouldn't be much reason to watch it on HBO, the place where they actually earn money.
It all comes down to balance, which we are sorely lacking.
This is his best one. Love Bill
the bar has drop again we need James Cameron too bring it back up.
BUT THEN RANDY NEWMAN WON'T BE ABLE TO GET WORK ANYMORE! WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF RANDY NEWMAN!
Cameron contributed to the decline. "Avatar" was cheesy, cliched tripe.
Odes to the booty_ one Wordsworth missed out on. 😂
Loved it!!
You know, apart from his Chronic but increasingly overlookable TDS, I’ve been enjoying more and more Bill Maher’s new rules lately as a right wing conservative leaning libertarian, especially as his liberal self now a days is more and more in line with even PragerU (says everything about the in control left now a days). This is a gem from years past that I can wholeheartedly agree with and love. I guess selective fandom is the way to go here
Edit. My point is that this gem of a video makes Bill Maher sounds more and more centrist and relatable even to those on our sides
Maher is right about the movies. I remember a few years ago there were back-to-back releases of new horror movies in theaters at least 4 or 5 months before Halloween and I remember thinking to myself "Are Americans trying to have self-induced heart attacks all the time?"
The dumbing down of the United Police States of AmeriKKKa is a resounding success and yes the Kardashians was the beginning of the end and that "I am Famous for being Well Known" mentality!
Benjamin Kanarek before the kardasians, the was Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie doing heroin on TV
jeff mercier when did they do heroine on tv? I don't like them but heroine on tv?????
Yes we are in stupid overdrive.
and standards are dropping and everybody gets a trophy
That Grindr joke caught me off guard. xD
I don’t like flip flops either. Crocs are okay. But not to work!!!!!
This sounds like an old man rant... "Back in my day..." "Kids these days..."
#Trumpforprison2017
#Trumpintarandfeathersdown5thavenuegaypride2017 ...shit we're late.
Good luck with that, loser
Larry Stotlemyer You can't call anyone loser with a face like that
#JailtotheChief2017
Illusionary Haze sure I can.
I love you Bill!
i soooooooooooooooooo agree. i moved to florida............................ omg
Not just stupid, or as well as, it's loss of common decency, shame, humility, respect for others, respect for one self, compassion, common sense, caring for others, helping others. Were evolving ourselves to extinction and we'll fucking deserve our own demise
True
Idiocracy wasn't a movie. It was a warning.
3:02 I fucking choked
I think the big cities should get rid of summer vacation.
"All year long is Robots and talking Raccoons" damn right, and I love it. Robots can not be stupid... here's why, try to build one? Good luck, stupid. Love Bill & I ain't mad, just throwing that out there.
I just wonder how long until Michael Steele is a permanent panellist.
We're at maximum stupid. I like that. Although, I think things get much more stupid
So true.
BRAVO
That's a nice monologue Maher spouted out. But it would be stronger if this show didn't run on HBO of all networks.
"It was a weird gig you did for a few months--or as it's now called, a job"
Odes to the booty - LOL!!!
It's odd to have guests around, while doing the monologs and they have to laugh along!!
There's no set standard for " earning" something. All people are capable of different strides. Then who is it to judge how difficult one's strife truly is? I think- Often a gift has more lessons warped in it. Rather than something an individual purchased from their salary. The awesome value of a present, (especially gifted from a loved one) is the most easy to cherish, and hold.
Funniest Reality comedian ever!
And now we have T. Sad!
"Tinder for straight people and Grindr for Republican" Im dead
Earn it ..hard to do but capable ;)
Grindr for Republicans. 😂
But then MarOLago will be flooded!! I'm sure, Trump would have never left the climate agreement if he had known that!
2:37. Now DeSandAss is the Governor of Florida.
3:06 Grindr for Republicans? Am I crazy or is he calling Republicans gay? Apart from Trump's bromance w/Putin, there isn't much of that.
All you had to do was follow your heart and head. They were both on the same side for once.
I agree with what Bill's saying about movies and gadgets, but it is important to note that the amount of hw that we're being given is astronomical compared to previous generations. I'd say that despite the stupid things happening all year long, our summers are still earned.
Remember when my fingers did walking through the yellow pages, well now notice the rib I gave to woman, a boost for my hands to climb up to hooter haven"
