How many people love to stand up and look down on the comedians’ sense of humor

Different from these intellectual commentators, Bill Maher is a comedian, a talkshow comedian, his usual state is to face the public, he likes his voice to be heard by more people, and he wants everyone to listen to him. (As for the intellectual commentators, the more important thing is to make a presentation. They feel that they have said so comprehensively and deeply, that only they are worthy to influence the public, but... they never care if anyone is willing to listen to him, or feel that they don’t.

Those are not worthy of listening...) And different from the talk show performers in the dance hall who use only pornographic jokes to coax a group of lazy people to rest their brains (there are more geniuses here too, everyone is smarter than the professor), Bill Tiantian Gagging to criticize the status quo in all aspects of the United States, from medical care to education, from religion to elections, he always said two ugly words whenever he had the opportunity to spread common sense to the American people and add some unhappiness. But his ability is to let the public accept that unhappiness happily, and he can talk about extremely serious political topics as funny as the Northeast Errenzhuan. He either pointed out current malpractices, or directly targeted certain political leaders, and he never left room for the other party or himself. (And intellectual commentators either dare not criticize, or they can only add blockage to everyone.)

Regarding this film, he said in an interview that it was a comedy, and he didn't want to be a real one. Documentary. Only by making it fun will more people be willing to watch it. How many people will listen to ideas that are not fun and not dangerous? Yes, yes, some people can use epistemology or scientific development concept, but no one wants to listen to you explain or argue with you, you can teach those kids who are in the same camp as you at best. Bill is inevitably superficial. He knows that in conversations with the public (especially in TV shows, other channels have big movies, MTV and striptease), he has to say what normal people can understand. It is best that everyone is willing to listen, willing to accept, and willing to go again. Think about it next.

Religulous quotes

  • Bill Maher: [Extra] What about when innocent people get killed during a "defensive action"?

    Michael Bray: I'm for that. Yeah. It's collateral damage.

    Bill Maher: But it's acceptable?

    Michael Bray: We've got to consider what the real issue is here and what the cost is and the risk.

  • Bill Maher: [Extra] This is the Anne Frank house, when you see it you really understand how true that phrase "The banality of evil" really is. One of the common arguments in defence of religion is that Hitler wasn't religious and neither was Stalin or Mao and they were bad so religion is good. But like religion itself it's an argument that really depends a lot on not thinking too deeply. For one Hitler himself didn't eliminate anyone personally he had a lot of footsoldiers most of whom were good Christians and they pushed people into the ovens. Religion has done a bad job of stepping up and preventing violence-prone bullies from doing their thing. If anything it usually justifies acts of madness. And 20th Century Fascism and Communism while not strictly religions as we've come to think of religion, really were religions. They were state religions. Hitler was seen as infallable and Godlike. Hirohito was absolutely a God on Earth to the Japanese people. We shouldn't get too hung up on the word religion. The bottom line is whether people think and act rationally or not and whenever they organise their lives around something that could best be described as groundlessness bad things happen. Even if the central story seems harmless like there's a God who loves you so much that he had his only Son whacked so that you could keep on sinning. Still, doesn't matter, once reality has left the building, once it's up there in the ether then anything can be extrapolated or tacked on by Preachers and Priesthoods and delusionals and power-hungry pricks. It's not that big a step from "your God is the only God and he loves you very much" to "you really should get out there and start killing for him" Whenever people believe in something utterly groundless because they were told it by a charismatic preacher and Hitler was nothing if not that, all bets are off. Nazism was a religion, a religion based on the insane fiction that Jews were subhuman vermin who did not deserve to live, but people and people not from a primitive society believed it because A they liked the preacher, B the other sheep around them were buying into it even though it was crazy and C it was inextricably tied to their view of a glorious Valhalla-like future. A, B, C. Religion.
