Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Bill Maher really is smuglord personified.

Club Random is such a garbage name. It gets even dumber when you learn that it’s called that because he named the bar in his house “Club Random” and that’s where it’s recorded.

God Maher's fit is so bad.

I love Bill Burr, he might be the most honest person that uses the "what do I know, I'm just a dumb white guy" disclaimer line because he actually does try to learn and admits when he's wrong and does better.

Which makes him perfect for taking down a smug up-his-own-ass clown like Maher.

That was cathartic.

Bill is the master at takedowns. He might be the best insult comic who isn't really an insult comic.

I'm trying to understand what changed...

Admittedly I used to not mind Bill Maher, I used to watch Real Time and appreciate it.

Has he always been like this and I've evolved in my sociopolitical beliefs, or has he become more of a chudass and I'm still a LIB ?

He's always been like this

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

That’s kinda what I think too. Just embarrassing to know I was a bigger lib at one time lol.

He used to be way worse. I’m pretty sure he’s toned down the racism. I’m curious what you even as a liberal appreciated about him. I watched like two episodes in middle school and concluded this guy was an irredeemable bigot.

It was around the same time I watched the daily show, and stuff like that. The comedy shows that made luke warm takes about politics. It was a digestible way to take in a different political perspective than I was used to growing up.

All that shit is just unbearable to me now. The smug takes from people who are insulated from the repercussions of the politics they make fun of.

Maher was also the worst of all of them I think for sure.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Fixed! Thanks Botty!

Nothing will beat Tim Heidecker's Office Hours episode with Fred Armisen where he does the whole thing brutally parodying Club Random.
