Frist indeed!
pornography..yeah.
Except for the last line about 43 white guys in a row and only one Catholic, one bachelor, and one retarded guy I didn't hear a single original thought or any thing much funny. What is up with his hair? Is he trying to look like a member of the Sopranos?
That last piece was brilliant.
Well worth the wait.
Hahahaha......that's pretty good...thank God the writers are back... "Been There, Done That"....lol....43 straight white guys...one catholic, one bachelor, and on RETARDED President...hahahaha...truth really IS stranger than fiction
Nice to see that Bill can pace a joke again. Writers make the difference. I always though that his timing doesn't always work right, which always shows in NEW RULES He looked good last night though.
NEW RULE
Lifetime politicians can no longer campaign spouting change. Change from what? Elect me and I promise you'll get what I've been doing, only different this time.
Not Very Smart
There is one thing the Barack Obama supporters have yet to figure out: Hillary Clinton has many supporters. In fact, if this is really as close as they say it is, she has just about as much support as Obama. Two things:
1. He just referred to the president as a "dick sucker." He will get a backlash from that.
2. Since he has jumped on the "I hate Hillary Clinton" band wagon, he may added to those who will support a backlash or subtracted from those who would come in his defense from a backlash.
What can I say? You go Bill.
Joseph
I disagree with Bill - we've had one retarded president (RR), his moron successor (GHWB), and that one's idiot son (GWB). Time for a change?
New Rule
Party members have to stop bitching about "popularity" of candidates. Isn't THAT what a candidate selection is all about? Isn't the most popular the one that WILL win an election? Isn't the idea to bring out new electorate, and old electorate and get as many as possible to vote? NO MORE COMPLAINING about "cult like" personalities.
The pornography joke does raise a serious question: Is there anything Hillary won't do to get elected?
HAHAHAHA
Man I need that laugh
VietVet8666 @ 12:
I never have believed Hillary was promiscuous. Bill is another story. He's a musician at heart and musicians like chicks.
Best New Rules segment ever. That reminds me, I gotta start watching more inter-racial porn.
Why does he keep having Andrew Sullivan on?
Does anyone remember the crap that guy was coming out with back in 2001 to 2004? He demanded an apology from everyone who was anti war since Iraq was such a great success etc.
Now he claims to be anti war and supports democrats. He goes with public opinion saying whatever he thinks people want to hear.
Bill forgot this one.
Mental Exams for all candidates running for President.
L.A. Confidential @ 14:
What about Elton John?
I guess he liked Dianna.
New Rule
People will stop posting NSFW on their websites. People shouldn't be looking on community webpages while they're on the clock to begin with. Whether the images they're looking at are of Hillary being made fun of or two Asian women fisting each other is irrelevant.
Micko @ 16:
A lot of people got caught up in the post-9/11 hysteria. Some still are and a few have had time to come to their senses.
Joseph @ 9:
I had to watch the clip again after your post. Exactly where did you see evidence of "I hate Hillary Clinton"? If anything Barack seemed to be the butt of his jokes more than Hillary although the chimpster and mittster received especially loving treatment.
Could it be when he said that being able to vote for a woman or a black man was not amazing but, in fact, was 200 years too late? Perhaps you perceived that as criticism. I interpreted it as praise for both candidates and the Democratic Party.
I think you are having difficulty that is entirely personal and is affecting your perception.
Pornography is a good thing.
The more of it our country has, the looser it will be.
ROFLMAO
VietVet8666 @ 12:
That depends on what your definition of 'won't' would be.
VietVet8666 @ 12:
I don't think Hillary does that, and that is why Bill wanders.
curtilingus @ 18:
Yeah anyway todays society is so brainwashed into gossip and voyeurism it's ludicrous. You can not even have friends without people thinking, "oh they have to be having sex on the side theres no way they can be that friendly with each other on a platonic or plain freindship level".
Joseph @ 9:
I really think Maher's comments on his show will prove rather insignificant in influencing the actual election in any way, but you tell em' you little Hillbot you...
ConcernedCanuck @ 25:
Not all who wander are lost.
curtilingus @ 22:
I think it's doing more damage then liberating people. Young girls are being turned into insecure whores willing to do anything to get some kind of attention by the time they are 18, and men are absolutely having a field day with it.
New Rule
Just because people don't like the woman candidate, does not make them sexist anymore than not liking the black candidate makes them racist. Perhaps it is WHO the candidate is, and not their gender, or race, or religious affiliation.
ConcernedCanuck @ 25:
This reference to pornagraphy was intended to suggest that it is about time we allow black men and women to push the boundaries other than the ones that white men have traditionally allowed them.
The above posts that focus on the most prurient aspects of the joke only proves Bill's point. You all might try growing up and accept the fact that the Democratic Party has
two candidates that have broken the mold and, hopefully, have ended the the streak of white men as President.
I'll happily vote for either.
curtilingus @ 28:
They are if they get divorced and have something of value to lose.
bill maher is a no talent self absorbed ignoramouse who sees hiself as a genious, but he is after all just an insult commedian, no better then jay lenno , so he makes a good insult with bush sucks dicks , hey !ive been saying that for yrs now, most of his round table conversations shows just how lame his brain is!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, that is why comedy writing should be left to professionals. I wonder if the writers were not on strike if the Obama as the Mesiah meme would have worked.
tyree @ 33:
Yeah, but Tyree, when you say it we laugh too!
Besides, what Maher does that i like is bring people of different views together for an informal shrieking of the issues.
Shared Humanity @ 21:
Ok Dr Shared Humanity maybe I read too much into the "been their done that" reference with the signs. In any event, my perception is alright; I claim to be a realist, less affected by the trend or the silly character assassinations, subtle or outright.
I notice you seem to think I have some difficulty in my perception. I don't, but I do have a issue with the MSM, Bill's show included. They are too one sided. I did not see Bill attack Barack Obama. He spoke to his name not being on a sign. However, and here is where you say I have perception problems, the "been there done that" reference with the signs was a subtle suggestion Clinton is dated. Who did you say has a perception problem?
Joseph
curtilingus @ 22:
pornography helps no one. more nudity and honest talk of sex, on the other hand, wouldn't hurt.
Shared Humanity @ 31:
Perhaps You should grow up and realise that a person's color and /or gender is hardly the-and probably the worst-reason to vote for a candidate. I'm as progressive as the next guy,but I will unhappily vote for niether.
David Hawes @ 24:
Well, inasmuch as "won't" refers to future action, one can argue that a statement such as, "I won't do THAT.", does not preclude, at the time the statement is made, the statement-maker's having done THAT sometime previously.
xoites defends Constitution @ 35:
the thing about mahers is anyone that disputes his ignorent ass views gets shouted at and shut down because as that asshole says its my show , fuck mahers hes no different the pissheads like limpballs, and in my view if they paid him more then hbo hed be working for fox!!!!!!!!!!!
VietVet8666 @ 39:
It was just a lame joke in the 'what is IS' thread. Sorry.
David Hawes @ 41:
David, I thought what you wrote about the meaning of "won't" was really funny ans was just trying to make a joke in return.
VietVet8666 @ 42:
Cool.Thanx.
The fist bump/handshake-rock-paper-scissors joke was stolen from Demetri Martin.
If it's not safe for children, why is it posted on crooksandliars?
I still can't believe Bareback Sully is still taken seriously.
I"m beginning to think I should turn pro. I posted the suggestion about Romney's sons, the Thriller motif about McCain and his geriatric crew and Clintama as the perfect candidate all in the last week. I think the writers aren't so much writing as harvesting.
Kevin C. @ 45:
Interestingly, neither is America.
I was curious about the bachelor president, didn't know it off the top of my head, so I googled it, Buchanan, sure. For giggles I googled retarded president and sure enough an article about Bush was the first result. Granted it was an article about his willingness to kill the retarded, but that pretty much proves the point doesn't it?
Peter G @ 47:
Hey, what is funny is funny. Humor is not something to be hoarded. It does not work unless you share it.
He had me lol.
Tyree,
You seem to know Maher's work very well. Why not stop watching him if he pisses you off so much? When Maher had Darryl Issa on recently, he let Issa ramble on. There was no shouting over him. That's Fucks News' gig.
Your'e just flat out wrong on this. Lighten up and have a laugh. Maher's not trying to subvert you. That's Hannity's job.
NEW RULE
Frank Luntz can only be on Real Time with Bill Maher if he quits bitching about being touched!
NEW RULE
Frank Luntz can only appear on Real Time with Bill Maher if he allows Andrew Sullivan to give him a naked "bear" hug!
NEW RULE
Bill Maher needs a new hairstylist!
NEW RULE
I need to be invited on as a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Che's Lounge @ 51:
thiers only one reason for a horse race , you watch the shit they give you and you make up your own mind if that shits worth eating , like the man says you go to your chuch ill go to mine , and if i want to watch any show its my buisness not yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xoites defends Constitution @ 50:
No sour grapes intended. I missed the New Rules and both The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are now back on track. I merely point out the coincidence.
That was bootifull
what i thinks funny most think mahers a democrat , or a libberal , hes a libritarian and he hates both partys equally , and if the democrats take over he,ll be telling his stupid jokes about libberals and youll eat it up!
how is this inappropriate for children? They're either young enough where it goes their head, or they're old enough to watch this clip. U.S. parents need to take the stick out of their butt and realize that they're not protecting their children from either profanity, or dirty jokes. If anything, letting them watch Bill Maher will help develop them into critical thinkers with a sense of humor.
You do realize Maher actually did steal that from Demetri MArtin. WTF were all these writers doing while on strike? I mean seriously?!?!?
ConcernedCanuck @ 11:
Great new rule! So let's all stop bitching about the folks who voted for Bush because they would have wanted to drink a beer with him.
Yes indeed Maher will poke fun at both parties. So will every other fair minded pundit. They need to do that for us. If you want one-sided stick with Fox News but I guarantee you won't get any laughs.
tyree @ 56:
I don't think most conservatives realize this fact. He's going to TEAR into the Democrat no matter if it's Obama or Hillary. He believes that the environment issue trumps the health care issue by a long-shot (poor environment leads to poor health) and hates prescription drugs because he feel they do more harm than good. And he also wants to get out of Iraq tomorrow while Hillary and Barak concede a total withdrawal won't happen their first term.
He's also good at balancing that racial/gender line without getting a ton of blowback unlike most comedians/talking heads.
My last post was addressed to Tyree by the way.
Peter G @ 60:
hes not a pundit hes a hack commedian!
and i figures it out ! myself! and you watch fox news it will improve your taste for comedy
tyree @ 56:
Well Tyree,
I used to feel the same way about libertarians, but you didn't see Bill talkin about votin for Ron Paul did ya, so there are lightweight libertarians and the assholes who glommed on Ron Paul. Can you tell the difference?
I think, and I am just takin here that Bill M is more into being able to smoke dubbige freely, and thats where his libertarian views mostly lie.
In fact I think that the man told us last night he voted for Obama.
tyree @ 63:
Just wondering what commedians do you find funny?
natisman @ 65:
i have heard him say several times he favored ron paul , but even maher knows raul aint going to be president! as far as voteing for obama , it means nothing untill he or anyone else votes for him in the general election,
That was truly LOL. Plus, it looks like Maher decided to go with Bald Panelist Night, both with and sans rug.
diamondmc @ 66:
george carlin comes to mind!
Zenrage @ 19:
Good boy! Roll over and you can have a biscut! Some of us jerkwads haven't traded our lunch breaks for hot dickings from the boss, and we still prefer not to expose our elderly co-workers to porno references. Keep fighting the good fight, and one day we'll all fall in line!
tyree@67: Never heard Bill say he supported Ron Paul on anything except his stance on the war. He has said he likes having Ron Paul on his show.
diamondmc @ 71:
well maby you were in the kitchen getting a beer and popping some corn when he said it! i dont make the news i just report it!!!!!!!!!!!
tyree @ 72:
What you report is false. I went back and checked his shows with Ron Paul, and nowhere did he ever say he supported Ron Paul. Take the time and check it out for yourself. He said he liked the mans stance on the war, and he was a good guy who was always welcome on his show.
natisman @ 65:
I don't know what dubbige (doo-bidge?) is. Is it like reefer? Are you a crazed marijuana addict!?!? I'm not listening to you any more, you crazy acid-headed commie-liberal scumbag! You and your "hip jive" slang need to pack up your damned VW bus and move back to Hashburry!
David Hawes @ 38:
You really are being obtuse. I did not say, nor did Bill say, that being black or a woman is sufficient reason to earn my vote. Instead their condition at birth should not disqualify them from consideration which is what 43 straight white men would seem to suggest is in play.
Personally, I will vote for Barack or Hillary because both are far superior to John "Hundred Years War" McCain.
diamondmc @ 73:
i said he liked ron paul for president in a casull conversation with some one on the pannel i didnt say he lent his support or was going to campaighn for him !!!!!!!!!!!!!get over it !
tyree @ 76:
Now you are being funny, Hahahaaaaaaa........
diamondmc @ 77:
glad you got a chuckle out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
diamondmc @ 77:
you just watch all his shows youll find it , im not sure wich ones he talked about it on but im sure you got time to watch them all just to prove im lieing!!!!good luck on it!
tyree @ 79:
Hey, I got over wasting my time with you. Maybe now you should take your own advice, and get over it.
Oh no,
What will the Christian fascist neo right shrills Coultergiest, Limp-paw, et al say about Bill?
I am sure they can't take it, and they need a media platform where they cannot be challenged to say spew their shrills.
It is time someone went right at the right in this manner.
diamondmc @ 80:
maby you should reconsider that , you never waste your time talking to someone smarter then you seem to be!!!!!!!!
tyree @ 82:
Grow up kid.
diamondmc @ 83:
now youve popped a funny sonny ,i grew up long before you shit in your first pamper!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shared Humanity @ 75:
And I will Not vote for any of Them.As far as 'far superior',We will see,won't We?
Bill Maher i
