Bill Maher makes an effort to satirize Joe Biden. It's not very funny, but it happened.


In another part of the show — this was last Friday — he said if it's between Biden and Trump, he'll say what he's said before: He'd vote for Biden if Biden is just a head in a jar of blue liquid

ADDED: Somehow I thought of this:

Haters got to hate.

Maher is what is wrong with America today. Voting because of the D after Biden's name, even though he isn't there...Democrats are out of touch with America.

Funny, Kathy Griffin ruined her reputation by beheading Trump. For Maher, envisioning a beheaded Biden is a plus?

A famous philosopher once said "there are 4 elements in the universe, protons, electrons, neutrons and morons"! Bill Maher proves this to be true!!!

I watched the first minute or so of the video until he labelled Trump and W a**holes. He's trying to dance between good and evil. He will get spewed out.

Because it's a Futurama reference. Revival of the dead, not killing them.

Maher admits to being dumber than a box of rocks. It's not funny because it's true.

A popular smidgen of popular pseudo-science is the idea that our intellect is partly generated within the gut, the lower digestive tract, another Gell-Mann amnesia effect of reading what a miseducated journalist thinks she heard at a cocktail party attended by a graduate student with too much Grey Goose vodka in his gut. However, it could be true. There is no final word in science.

Assuming it is true, placing Joe Biden's head in a jar of blue fluid would be throwing away the best part.

At least Maher tries to make fun of Biden. Most modern comedians won't even try, at the risk of offending their base. Conservatives can be almost as bad. I have friends who think that all comedy ended when Rush Limbaugh died. They would only listen to him. Other friends will only listen to Greg Gutfeld. I think part of being human is having the ability to laugh at yourself and to laugh at the people on your side.

I feel Maher's pain.

And I'm loving it.

I send up a Nixonian "Aaaaarrrroooooouuuu!" in recognition of Maher referencing Futurama so aptly.

There is no mocking here, only demands to find a path to victory.

Biden is a tough sell. Trying to sell an old, corrupt, incompetent, insider to Americans these days is like selling ice to the Eskimos.

Biden in the shower, with his grown daughter, equivocal, and inclusive. Social progress.

Biden in Obama's ethnic Springs with benefits perchance emoluments.

Lean in economics through redistributive change and shared/shifted responsibility.

Biden at the gates of East Palestine.

Immigration reform and excess deaths, rape... rape-rapes, and other affirmative actions that Americans did not take.

It's not Biden's age. It's the fact that he's a corrupt, incompetent, insider whose first term has brought the nation to the edge of economic disaster, created an enormous illegal immigrant crisis and put us on the edge of another world war. He has presided over the destruction of our foundational institutions in order to protect himself and take out his political opponent.

But yeah, he should lean in to his great age. That'll do it. Is there any sign Biden has picked up wisdom along the way? Any sign at all?
Dems like Maher are fine with Biden because they're fine with the country being run by nameless, faceless unaccountable staffers and bureaucrats as long as those people seem to be Democrats.

Howard said...

It's not a great bit. A couple funny lines. Comedy is difficult great comedy is almost impossible.

It's probably not a bad idea to have Biden lean in so that he can then move on. No doubt that'll increase his gravitas.

As a boomer, Ann, you should’ve thought of the alien head in Invaders From Mars, though maybe that was a boy thing. Every boy our age has seen the ‘50s version at least a dozen times.

I suspect that Bill is getting a tremendous amount of pushback from all his far left friends and colleagues about being too critical of the Democrats. He's not toeing the official party line enough and is risking not being invited to Hollywood parties anymore.

Mikey NTH said...

Being a Yellow Dog Democrat isn't the compliment Maher thinks it is.

Joe Smith said...

Even as rich as he is, Maher needs to bleat his liberal credentials so he can keep getting his cock sucked in Hollywood.

Lean in to what, a nursing home?

The man is a vegetable.

Rabel said...

We've been waiting for the comedians to take on Biden. At least Maher tried.

gilbar said...

hmm blue liquid democrats?

1st you had yellow dog democrats
then you had blue dog democrats

NOW, you have blue liquid democrats?
Serious Question: Is this MORE, or LESS extreme than a Yellow dog democrat?

Most comedians realize that telling Biden jokes to Democrats would go over about as well as telling Mohammed jokes to Muslims.
At least SNL made a few attempts this weekend. Usually they just stick to Trump jokes, even though the guy has been out of office for 3 years.
And I don't think they have anyone who mimics Hunter...that guy must be off limits.

That's funny, I'd vote for an old shoe before I'd vote for Biden.
