[alexjagt96]

I wish there would be less applause

[MiloMatrataMusic]

my favourite athiest ! Bill mahers the man !

My favourite American

[andrew186511]

what year is this?



[101andrewj]

@andrew186511 2000

[ADragonAmongRoses]

does anyone else think that, at that age, bill maher looked a lot like Ryan Stiles from Whose Line?

[Rorix9]

"hasn't hurt my record collection"....perhaps derived from Bill Hicks?

[RGDcommentnode]

In 30-40 years, the machines will rise and start a nuclear holocaust. The survivors will form a resistance and fight the machines and- wait, that's The Terminator...

[cyanmanta]

He's dead on when it comes to having children. So many parents nowadays believe they deserve some sort of big thank-you for having a kid. They think they're doing society a favor. Bullshit. You had kids because you WANTED to have kids. In a world of 7 billion people, you are not special and neither is your kid, except to you. Your kid is not special to us, and you are not special to us merely because you have one. Smart parents know this; sadly, most parents aren't that smart.

[darkmantlestudios]

@cyanmanta actually in western countries, the birth rate is barely matching the death rate, we are basically even. It's third world countries that have way higher birth rates. so every kid had in a western country is actually important :p and if no one had kids, well we would die out as a species :p

[john129flip]

I'm glad he got his hair situation straightened out.

[Sovember]

"A machine for turning beer into piss"

LOL! I LIKE THIHS GUY!

[Sovember]

I hate pretentious contentious arrogant teenagers.

I don't mind cynicism because people are moody, it happens.

What I really hate are pompous arrogant pricks though.

[13098519]

If Bill Maher ran for president Id vote for him.

[ElizabethLCRandom]

@13098519 I would be helping with his campaign 

[theguyyouhate]

@Hofsteder smarter than the people not present that he is in theory argueing with.

no maher is doubtfully really that smart compared to the norm. he's charismatic and excelent at expresing himself but smart compared to the norm? no.

but then he isn't talking about normal people here. he's talking about dumb people. and he's alowed to be arogant towards them because he's smarter than them yet they still refuse to listen.

[help4343]

I agree with Penn Jillette. Cynicism is nothing to be proud of.

[OskarHellstroem]

When and where was this show?

[Raford146]

There are now 7 billion people on Earth. STOP CELEBRATING SPAWNING!

[gr0wdigital]

@9.20 best



[ColdFusion40]

I would rather be proven wrong in an argument because then I have become a better person.

[TerrifiedPotatoe]

I honestly don't think he's that funny.

I mean, yeah, he's defintely a smart guy, but his sarcasm isn't really..well..comedy.

[ackilla86]

"that could lead to dancing.." lmao

[rohitrez]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BILL MAHER

[managarm1349]

"10 black guys who would hate you if they knew you, won" hahaahah best quote ever

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

And the downfall of America all started when Ronald Reagen took office. He was the biggest idiot and traitor in the history of America and the legacy and the harm he did back then lives on in 2011 and many years to come. Bush was just an corporate puppet and a tea party whore that did was he was told without thinking or ask any questions.

[FreakmundZoid]

footloose refference FTW!

[LiamKinsellamusic]

everyone is butt hurt he just said how it is

[jarvisthebox]

didnt he fuck super head ?

[apexroots]

4:35 feel like he's ripping bill hicks

[simplusigreu]

@apexroots wanted to comment the same thing

[SpyinGirly]

Dancing, god forbid

[sosterday123]

1:40 sports & faith

[CharlieALabtech]

What a jerk, fuck Bill Maher

[Chemicallobodomy]

Man, George Carlin, Bill Hicks, and Maher all have a very similar message. I'd like to think it's a useful one

[JazzyJonas]

Seven children, they live in a shoe now! Reminds me of Dangerfield's style/delivery.

[JazzyJonas]

Seven children, they live in a shoe now! Reminds me of Dangerfield's style/delivery.

[superpulse27]

He's clever but arrogant.

[Sonnyxleet]

@superpulse27 I would much rather be a person who is right and arrogant than wrong and confident.

[MedicineMan121576]

@Sonnyxleet a person that is confident in being wrong is a lot more stupid than the average person

[paceetrate]

@MedicineMan121576 What happens when the average person IS confident in being wrong? o.O

[MedicineMan121576]

@paceetrate they usually are but that kind of thing doesn't matter to someone that is comfortable enough in themselves

[PAULOcbi]

@Sonnyxleet "The whole problem with the world is that fools and religious fanatics are always so sure of themselves but wiser people are so full of doubt." Bertrand Russell

[coolbeens21]

@Sonnyxleet YEP

same here buddy.

[tedwilli9]

@Sonnyxleet well said

[purplehaze0120]

@Sonnyxleet You can't be right and arrogant because arrogance is wrong

[theguyyouhate]

@superpulse27 when you are smarter than others you are alowed to be arogant as long as you know when others are right as well

[MrSkate4weed]

@theguyyouhate your statement is inherently wrong

[theguyyouhate]

@MrSkate4weed how?

first of all it's an openion not a fact and i didn't in fact present it as a fact so it can't possibly be actually "wrong" and to go as far as claiming it is inherently wrong... is ironicly enough incredibly arogant on your part. but please fell free elaborate on your opnion. i'd like to hear your opnion so we can see if you might in fact have arguments that will make me realise you are right. though i doubt it

[MrSkate4weed]

@theguyyouhate learn to spell. "as long as you know when others are right as well"

also opinions can be wrong, i can't believe you can't believe that

[theguyyouhate]

@MrSkate4weed the day i'll bother to spell check a good damn youtube comment let alone in anything but my native language is the day i proof i have far too much time on my hands. but i don't actually see any spelling error at all in the part you took out though the grammar might be a tiny bit weird.

also no openions can't be wrong. they can be bad but only facts are wrong. you can then base your openion on incorrect fact but that would be when you then change openion. but please prove your point

[MrSkate4weed]

@theguyyouhate what is your native language then? because this is just sad..."no opinions can't be wrong" do you even know what you're saying or what you're trying to articulate? because all I'm hearing is bar bar bar

[theguyyouhate]

@MrSkate4weed for the record i'm danish. yes english is taught commonly here but i am actually far above what someone my age is expected to be able to express in english. then again i'm far better verbaly than in writeing and better at understanding than to expressing.

also i know very well what i'm saying and it's clearly defined at least in what you quote.

then again so far your counter argument is "herp derp you're wrong... and you suck at spelling"

stupid youtube letter limit by the way.

[bermudaguy1]

Don't forget Sam Kinison!!

[avion106]

If Carlin was still alive:

1) Bill Maher

2 or 3) George Carlin

Dead people become more famous

[Igotgame911]

wow he looks a lot younger lol

[SensiStarToaster]

1)Bill Hicks

2) George Carlin

3) Bill Maher

[PinballWizard10]

"People celebrate spawning; it's not a virtue anymore, there's six billion people on the planet."

This was only ten years ago, and now it's seven billion.

[sn3192]

@PinballWizard10

imagine where we'll be 30/40 years from now:(

[SissingPyd]

Love this guy.

[Stalin111]

No wonder american beer sucks. :D

[t3733]

You forgot Richard Pryor who should be number 1

[Uushilumbu79]

"shitted out kids"?

That's awkward, Bill!

[MonicaKn17]

He kind of looks like Brian Greene. They both have this mouse thing going on.

[TheKorrea1000]

Bill Maher Is Too Funny! And Awesome! : )

[jimbrown257]

What year was this filmed?

[Donnya101]

38 people are roman Catholic priest pedophiles this is awesome.

[bcbowar50]

1. Bill Hicks

2. Bill Maher

...

6,000,000. Carlos Mencia

[morgandyme]

This during the time when I though Bill Maher was the funniest

[barrius1234]

Fuck Dane Cook hes a niggercuntwrag

[MJFAN666]

@barrius1234 loll, hes a niggerfaggot

[kazoorocketman54]

I don't think people who question whether or not the government was behind 9/11 makes them a nutjob, and it might very well be possible the government might be so corrupt that they would stage an attack to get us into war, just how they had the mentality before with Operation Northwoods. Because I think like this, does that make me more cynical than Bill?

(...I know a lot of Maher fans are probably going to hate that xD)

[IcyScythe]

@kazoorocketman54 not you're just not thinkign man... doesnt make you more cynical.

Think about it, for the government to have been behind it they would have had to have had loads of people in on it. Look how ineffecient our government already is... you really think they could keep that big a secret with so many people involved?

I think it's possible some people high up knew it was coming shortly before it happened, but there's now way they took an active part.

[MyMotorPurrs]

I really enjoy Bill Maher, but so much of what he does is done with such arrogance...

[TheBeroso]

@MyMotorPurrs There's a difference between being and knowing you're right ^^

[triangl]

I like this, but it's incredibly self congratulatory. This is the epitome of preaching to the choir.

[tusagnamaster]

cynical people can never be disappointed only happy to be proven wrong.

[MrVinushka]

Watching this just makes me miss George Carlin.

[rdvqc]

I have always been accused of being too cynical over the year but I find it has served me well. That which survives a good cynical analysis can often be positive and useful. It also has proved a wonderful source of humour.

The good thing about getting older is that folks can find more amusement in my cynicism than they did when I was younger.

Keep prodding 'em Bill - can't wait until you come to town in Sept.

[denmark1533]

I realised he's not really making joke , he's just being cynical about things and people laugh -.-

[averagejoe34]

The only beef I've ever had with what Bill Maher has ever had to say, was when he stopped saying things. KEEP CRANKIN EM OUT BILL!!!!

[pbatusa]

Bill... Clemicus would applaud you too.

[pbatusa]

Raise your thoughts, Bill; some may follow you there ..

Please approve video response; or view it at my channel: "I Have a Dream"

Relevance? My personal choice for 2012 Presidential Election in America?

Content of Character: Herman Cain. That's a good thing.. unless the progressives use-it successfully to weaken and split the conservative vote...  Keep a promise to fix the Federal Reserve and clip their wings. Re-establish the Gold Standard.  Do this and I'll vote for you.

angrydude net

[xxGizmo05xx]

he looks like this kid I beat up in high school....

[smkonwater23]

@blushboyfine Yeah, looks like they all wanna copy Bill Hicks but they end up Bill Hicks Lite.

[chinderr]

Thank you for the upload. this is a great gem in internet wealth.

[magnus3318]

And that could lead to dancing...

[VejlorMorne]

Yea... i find it very awkward when fat dude in front on TV sport channel says "we won!!" What a bunch of loosers :P

[OMGITSDRJESUS]

IT MAY NOT BE THAT FUNNY BUT EVERYTHING HE SAYS HAS A HUGE POINT TOWARDS IT.. I DIDNT SEE THE WHOLE THING YET BUT SO FAR, NIGGAS NEED TO WAKE THE FUCK UP.. AND YER SORRY MY CAPS IS FUCKED UP..

[0willow0]

1) George Carlin

2) Bill Maher...

9947) Dane Cook

[wpfairbanks]

@0willow0 Best comment I've read all week

[quietriotfan1976]

@0willow0

You have Cook ranked 100,000 too high

[NexusDarkworld338]

@0willow0 ha! totally agree with you there, but is that VEEEEERRRRRYYYY big number dane cook's ranking or the number of college kids who are after your blood for saying that?

;)

[Tsakurokur]

@0willow0 You forgot to mention #3 Bill Hicks.

[kazoorocketman54]

@Tsakurokur I'd say he's #2

[t3733]

@0willow0 u forgot Richard Pryor 

[SomeTrespassing]

@0willow0 your list is so wrong. Bill Maher isn't that great of a comedian. Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks are way better

[0willow0]

@SomeTrespassing Richard Pryor is too dry for me, don't like him at all. And I agree Hicks is definitely up there, but it was a joke not comprehensive list.

[PSdissenter]

@0willow0 What? Pryor is anything *but* dry.

[0willow0]

@PSdissenter Any suggestions? I'd love to be shown otherwise, I've only seen like 10-20 mins of material and didn't like it.

[em129836]

@0willow0 LMAO right on bro...

[liamMaru]

@0willow0 I don't agree with Maher at number 2, but he's up there. Carlin is no. 1 on my personal list, but there should be no doubt:

1. Lenny Bruce

[PAULOcbi]

@liamMaru check out Bill Burr,hilarious comedian that used to write for M.A.D. T.V.

[liamMaru]

@PAULOcbi Preaching to the choir my friend, Bill Burr is fantastic. Have you heard his podcast?

[kidkong584]

@0willow0 Dane Cook isn't really bad, he CAN be funny. He just usually isn't.

[Cripple219660]

@0willow0 That's a bit generous.

[desuforeverlulz]

@0willow0 Bill Hicks isn't #1 or #2?!

[0willow0]

@desuforeverlulz Ha sorry man, he's in my top five along with Doug Stanhope and Dave Chapelle, and Lenny Bruce's wit is genius!  But Carlin is the man in my opinion.

[desuforeverlulz]

@0willow0 Well, that actually makes SIX, but, hehe, you know. Five, six, what's the difference?

[0willow0]

@desuforeverlulz Lenny Bruce isn't in my top five, that phrase shoulda been its own sentence i suppose lol.

[utar88utar]

@0willow0 saw stewart lee yet? he is a smart fella

[0willow0]

@utar88utar I'm ashamed to say I hadn't heard of him before, he's great! Thanks! U watched Jimmy Carr? He's probably one of my favourite Brits.

[utar88utar]

@0willow0 Jimmy Carr, oh yes, another smart block. cheers

[VivaLaNick335]

@0willow0 1) George Carlin and Bill Maher

2) everyone else

[Met0llicA]

@VivaLaNick335 forgot bill hicks

[Asm0dis]

fuck i wish the audience would stop interrupting him with that stupid applause every two seconds

[ajaxrules1975]

Can anyone tell me in which show Bill jokes about the fact that some people believe that humans rode dinosaurs and lived in the same time of age?

[luisminier]

@ajaxrules1975 Religulous, i think......

[Meggie1220]

@ajaxrules1975 i think he jokes about it in his special 'The Decider'

[go8smosh]

@ajaxrules1975 There is an all religious humor playlist called "Bill Maher - Biblically Incorrect" that has the bit in it.

[ajaxrules1975]

@go8smosh Thanks. I will look it up.

[mjwillbethere37]

He says something about then Governor and Presidential Candidate George W. Bush in this special something along the lines of "I gotta tell you I don't like this little prick." Kinda foreshadowing for the future 8 years.

[mythdoctor]

All great except for the sports part, The players, coaches, owners, and bandwagoners come and go like the wind im still here rooting for my NY teams, so when they win yes I WIN TOO!

[DrCamPhD]

The sad thing is that these aren't jokes, they're the truth.

[metalhead4894]

@DrCamPhD The best jokes are the ones that tell the truth

[Filthygawjus]

Jesus. This guy is about as funny as 9/11.

There's some cynicism for you.

[Tomination16]

@Filthygawjus Funny as 9/11? Holy crap! You think 9/11 was Hilarious?

[Filthygawjus]

@Tomination16 Of course not! I'm saying 9/11 ISN'T funny, like this guy ISN'T funny. That's cynicism for you. Not this guy.

[neballen12]

@Filthygawjus Then f*ck off.

[Filthygawjus]

@neballen12 Wow that comeback was about as successful as Michael JACKSON's.

[neballen12]

@Filthygawjus Yeah, and your the funny guy out here are you?

[Filthygawjus]

@neballen12 Funnier than you it would seem. But then it's hardly a challenge is it.

[neballen12]

@Filthygawjus Oh yeah, sure thing. Just go and read your Bible than huh?

[jestman5]

@Tomination16 He's a comedian and he makes jokes. That's his job, You dumbfuck lighten up and stop being a gay ass prick

[satsua]

@theethanstudle man i just get a warm feeling when i see stuff like this its like what religious people feel when they convert another helpless sucker or indoctrinate from birth. bill maher for president.

[deetjay1]

Your started this sissy boy...Your opinion, your loss...so you can fuck off anytime now...

[joshsfknusername]

[resinscraper13]

I encourage all Humanists, Evolutionists, Atheists, Agnostic, Satanists, Buddhists and Luciferians to participate in the facebook group, Lucifer's Constellatory Vanguard.

No Deities, Devils, Ghouls, Ghosts, Spirits, or self deceit...

Just knowledge, light, and understanding...

[deetjay1]

@resinscraper13

Lucifer is just another name for Satan, or the "Devil"...How do you justify that in your invitation?

[resinscraper13]

@deetjay1

The LCV purposely utilizes some traditionally instigative namesakes and symbols that may or may not be consistent with other adversarial factions…

Lucifer’s Constellatory Vanguard is an aggressive hybrid of staunch Agnosticism, and Atheism with a symbiotic relationship to some Satanic philosophies.

[deetjay1]

@resinscraper13

Ah...I'm more an anarchist actually, but gigging an adversary is always a favorite past time...Good luck. with all that "knowledge, light, and understanding..." I live in Texas where that particular franchise is claimed by the republican/tea party/southern baptist, cabal...Scary stuff...

[neballen12]

@deetjay1 No it's not. Read your Bible.

[deetjay1]

@neballen12

Thanks, but I prefer real crime stuff for any light reading...The Bible? Which one are the religs pushing this month?

[BeastOfOlympus]

Bill Maher for President 2012

[Donnya101]

32 people don't want to be more cynical wankers he is a genius atheists rule!

[deetjay1]

No one does "anger" better than Lewis Black...

[joshsfknusername]

@deetjay1 I absolutely despise Lewis Black...

[deetjay1]

@joshsfknusername

...and your dip shit point would be...?

[joshsfknusername]

@deetjay1 What?I don't dip my shit in anything,you fucked up little man!I'm just stating that Lewis Black is not funny.He may be angry,but he's not funny.Now you go dip some shit and eat it or do whatever you do with it, i'm not interested.

[harayz]

1:58 ~ "10 black guys who their grandparents probably were slave to your grandparents, won"

[zebelih]

".. and that could lead to dancing!"

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Genius.

[ToriRaeLolita]

I would like to have sex with his brain......

[gibbsies]

lol people are comparing bill maher to carlin? umm, please people theres a big difference between the two, bill hicks was more like carlin than maher is and even he is nothing like carlin.

[mrpapafunky7879]

@gibbsies They both have in your face opinons based on common sense and the stupidity of so many especially in this country.in those ways they are very alike doesnt mean they are clones.Both went against the grain questioned alot of bullshit that makes no sense to anyone with independant logical thought.they have many similarities as well as differences

[andrejurado]

along with George Carlin, Maher is my kinda guy, the one I would take out to dinner and be friends with! we would talk forever without disagreeing on many levels! cheers!

[GoldsboroughStudios]

@andrejurado You should check out Bill Hicks.

[mobobilly]

we are all fucked any way

[SCKTAZZ]

BILL MAHER FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[imbaaackk]

@SCKTAZZ pinegrove33 for President. and, Youtube user ramzpaul for vice president. 

[rocketmagnet]

@SCKTAZZ No, he's a damn anti-science nut case. Hey, Bill, how was smallpox eradicated?

[kyletitterton]

@rocketmagnet

Bugger is that really true? I was starting to find him really funny. That heroin line was a killer.

[rocketmagnet]

@kyletitterton Sadly, yeah. You'd think he'd be pro-science, since he's anti-religion. I guess he's just anti-everything.

[IcyScythe]

@rocketmagnet just cause hes wrong about some things doesnt mean he isnt right about a lot of others

[keyanage]

@SCKTAZZ lol i just said that on another post
