I do not think about Bill Maher.
20 years ago I thought he was a sharp, funny, iconoclast. These days, I think he just says stupid outrageous shit to provoke a reaction. He’s like human clickbait.
Same… but like 10 years ago for me
insufferable
This is second hand info, but everyone I know who has ever worked for him basically hates him. He’s a raging asshole, difficult to work with, and just a horrible human being on a personal level. I’ve never met him myself, but the people I’m referring to are all pretty awesome, wholesome people so I do trust their judgment.
Never really cared for him and barely paid any attention to him throughout the years. He just seems like a prick.
I don’t, and now I’m annoyed you made me remember he exists.
He’s a self-righteous asshole.
I thought he was funny in the 90’s. I saw a newer stand up special he did a couple years ago and was totally turned off by his views and the fact that not one of his jokes were actually funny.
Same with Dennis Miller.
I’ve been told when I went to bitch about that special on Reddit that he was only funny before because he wasn’t writing his own jokes, and I’m not sure if that is actually true but it would make sense.
People who don’t believe in germ theory shouldn’t be listened to
I find his comedy to be more smug and condescending than humorous or clever.
Don’t really know anything else about him. Don’t care to either, he can live his life and I can live mine.
I read the whole thread shocked that so many people hate Bill Nye Science Guy, then I re read the title.
Yeah he’s an antivaxx douche
I don’t hate bill nye, but i definitely don’t like him. I didn’t grow up watching his show, because i’m not american, but i watched his netflix show where he comes off as a know it all cunt who doesn’t even let people talk when he disagrees and treats people like idiots who have other opinions. And i say that as someone who agrees with most of his ideas.

Purely from description I’m sure that they meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. No self describing scientist should ever be as smug and full of themself as he is.
He’s a smarmy self-important jackass who revels in the ability to get as much attention possible by attacking anyone who can’t defend themselves.
I bet myself I would find the word “smarmy” somewhere here. Agreed
I watch his show every week, and though I don’t always agree with him, I do appreciate some media trying to have honest and open conversations about things, versus just each side yelling at each other side type of conversations.
Having said that, he seems pretty myopic about the whole Israeli-Palestinian-Hamas thing going on right now. (But then again, there seems to be a concerted effort being pushed on multiple media outlets like CNN as well right now.)
Also sometimes he gets a little bit into a ‘yelling at the clouds to get off his lawn’ mode.
But overall, he really tries to get honest conversation going between parties on all sides. I enjoy watching the show every week, including the extra part that is on YouTube afterwards.
Opinion solicited and provided, and people are downvoting you. Dumb.
Personally, he started talking more and more shit about millennials and taking positions I didn’t agree with. And when I’m listening to debate that’s shit take vs shit take… well, I’m not… so I stopped watching

Yeah, I get that allot. :/

I was kind of referring to that with my “yelling at clouds to get off his lawn” comment.
I’ve always figured listening to other perspectives from other gens than their own is a good thing, but some people do not.

There’s definately good show episodes, and some that are not so good. There was one a few weeks ago that was fantastic, and another one right around the same time that was crap. Its hit-or-miss.
Very irrelevant.
