Comics punch up. When you see comics like joerogan & billmaher licking the taint of a fascist oligarch, they stop being comics, they’re sycophants, ass kissers protecting what they have, the farthest thing from rebels. Twain, Hicks, Carlin, Williams, Pryor, Bruce, Thats who you’re supposed to be. - ThreadSky

That’s a reason I quit giving a shit about Bill Maher. The other one is that he isn’t funny.

i-lovecoffee.bsky.social•70 days ago

Are we really calling Rogan and Maher "comics"? That implies they are funny.

danrobertsvoice.bsky.social•70 days ago

Maher's White House visit - and his summary of events - remind me of Dennis Rodman visiting Kim Jong Un. Just being played for a fool.

@daveanthony.bsky.social and @reynoldsgareth.bsky.social are doing the lord’s work on this front with The Dollop.

ericamoss.bsky.social•70 days ago

I can't ever remember Rogan punching up. Maher hasn't done it since the W administration. They both think punching up means attacking trans people.

Oi oi

titusnation.bsky.social•70 days ago

Comics are a social barometer, back to Kings. A check on evil and power, not a fucking infomercial for it. Maher and Rogan are just a sham wow commercial for an asshole.

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•70 days ago

Jesters were the only ones allowed to insult those at court, within reason, and live. When the joke no longer entertains the crown but instead sits upon it, the realm is lost

aridyn.bsky.social•70 days ago

The job of comedians is to take the current climate and make jokes about it to remind us all how insane or inane it all is. I appreciate all of you who can make me laugh right now.

dreamingtree74.bsky.social•70 days ago

It wasn't all that long ago Maher was trying to figure out ways to end Trump's political career. What a sellout.

tsaunaz.bsky.social•70 days ago

👏

mitthrawnuruodo.bsky.social•70 days ago

I dont remember when either of those two goblins were ever funny. Theyve always been self absorbed skid marks on the undies of entertainment.

twitterefugee969.bsky.social•70 days ago

Nice to see you back. Sorry you had to come back.

mricha12.bsky.social•70 days ago

A great list and I’d put you up there with them. Please keep calling them and their bullshit out

49hudson.bsky.social•70 days ago

Fuckin’ A.

kurisu7885.bsky.social•70 days ago

As far as I can see Maher has a similar problem to Jerry Seinfeld. They each refuse to adapt to the times. They're Principal Skinner in that one Simpsons meme.

yinzer64.bsky.social•70 days ago

Disappointed by Maher…..this dude is gullible and dumb enough to be charmed into John Wayne Gacy’s crawl space

georgie53.bsky.social•70 days ago

He isn’t dumb. He is an opportunist. That’s what he has always been.

himtncrafter.bsky.social•70 days ago

Joe Rogan is not a comic he hosted fear factor and is the announcer for UFC which makes him a bad mc at the best. But corporate whore is a better description.

himtncrafter.bsky.social•70 days ago

Say it from the mountain brother. I agree it is you guys that deliver truth to power. Going back to court jesters that is your job description. Carlin would be losing his shit in this moment. Bill Maher has always been a corporate whore and misogynistic pos. Stopped watching year's ago.

shakergeek.bsky.social•70 days ago

Well said

michigan-girl.bsky.social•70 days ago

Rogan has never been a comic. He’s a damn idiot.

justinevansdem.bsky.social•70 days ago

I laughed so hard when I looked at who had been on. I stopped watching that show 2 years ago when he started to have a hard on of armie hammer.

drummdogg.bsky.social•70 days ago

Damn right brother Chris

good-joe.bsky.social•70 days ago

Maher did say useful idiots would be a problem.

Guess he was talking about himself.

shredquist.bsky.social•70 days ago

They went from comedians to clowns

bethriley.bsky.social•70 days ago

A good portion of our country are too young to remember those men. We need a Carlinaissance.

greggwith3gs.bsky.social•70 days ago

I always wondered, do comics become conservatives when they stop being funny or do they stop being funny because they are conservatives.

xkjb.bsky.social•70 days ago

They stop being funny and become conservative when they get really rich.
Like maher.

dustythecritic.bsky.social•70 days ago

Damnit. I wish Hicks didn’t die so young. I’d love to see his aging ass rip into these people and modern America. I got into him around the same time I got into Carlin. I was 11-12.

abrakapocus.bsky.social•70 days ago

Maher has been the Alpha-Boomer for some time now, at least since Bernie dropped from the 2020 race, but now he's gone full coward. I am genuinely embarrassed for him. Rogan, though? Just an unprincipled go-with-the-flow meathead.

abrakapocus.bsky.social•70 days ago

I want to repost this a billion times.

belgaeachren.bsky.social•70 days ago

Bill Maher was a comic? He hasn't been funny in at least a decade

neverman001.bsky.social•70 days ago

I also really enjoy Bob Goldthwait. Great person too.

neverman001.bsky.social•70 days ago

If ICE comes for me or my own, I am fighting to the death.

neverman001.bsky.social•70 days ago

Because I'd rather die in The USA fighting fascism than in a foreign prison.

mrkurlee.bsky.social•70 days ago

If you and I are ever in the same room, I'm buying the beers.

hoppy75.bsky.social•70 days ago

Joe Rogan is laughable - but he is no comic.

It takes true talent, grit, and turmoil to make comics such as you!

underapostmanssky.bsky.social•70 days ago

Don’t be a rogan, be a Titus .

collinjk.bsky.social•70 days ago

I thought I heard something once that jesters were the only ones allowed to mock the king, and it was meant as a means for the king to check himself *checks notes* before he wrecks himself

rszimm.bsky.social•70 days ago

I would also like to add Trae Crowder to the list. He just did an hour long set in Chattanooga on Saturday that was basically “fuck fascism” that had me laughing the entire time.

katvanzan.bsky.social•70 days ago

You can follow him on Bluesky @thetraecrowder.bsky.social.
@coreyrforrester.bsky.social is also here.
Warning: It can get dangerous when those two are together. 😆

rszimm.bsky.social•70 days ago

CRF opened up for TC on Saturday. Was NOT expecting that. CRF did about 45 minutes and TC then did an hour. Incredible show. They walked right past us while we waited in line to get into the building. Didn’t recognize Trae with his ballcap.

bradlovett.bsky.social•70 days ago

I didn't get tickets in time for Knoxville; I had seen him on him on his last pass through

rszimm.bsky.social•70 days ago

I’d absolutely see him again, hoping he comes to Atlanta. I saw him at The Signal in Chattanooga. Possibly the most uncomfortable chair I ever sat in in my life, but worth it to see his show (and Corey Ryan Forrester opening).

bradlovett.bsky.social•70 days ago

I had every intention to see him, but was already sold out by February. When he and the whole Redneck Comedy Tour was here last time, drag show bans were in the news so they were all dressed in drag. We gave a thought to Chattanooga, decided against it.

rszimm.bsky.social•70 days ago

That would’ve been a fun show to go to. We got our tix in mid-Feb when it was just general admission left, and it looked like they sold out. They even pulled some seats out from the back and added a small side section in the accessible seating area (wheelchairs) once they saw it was open.

bradlovett.bsky.social•70 days ago

Wow! Very cool. Next time he comes to town I guess I get tickets as soon as I find out. The "drag show" was a lot of fun.

neverman001.bsky.social•70 days ago

Trae is pretty funny and he seems t be getting some traction lately. I don't know him but like his work.

burrmartin.bsky.social•70 days ago

He's on tiktok making great one minute rants also

rszimm.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yup, been following him on multiple platforms since at least 2018.

pnwguy70.bsky.social•70 days ago

Preach good sir🤘🏻

xwilliammeex.bsky.social•70 days ago

They should also be, you know, funny, and Bill and Joe definitely forgot that key ingredient to the recipe

laurasaul.bsky.social•70 days ago

You do it well

rebelrabbitshop.bsky.social•70 days ago

mt-chkn.bsky.social•70 days ago

Bill still has a hair across his ass about the lockdown. Still holding the grudge. Sad

elviejonitido.bsky.social•70 days ago

Thank you for stating this and for your unwavering stance. While being hilarious af at the same time in your daily profession.
