Tim nailed Bill's unnecessary aggression
Totally 😂
I don't know how Fred kept a straight face through the whole thing.
“I already gave it 5 bags. Pay attention, idiot.”
He was prepared for this role.
Not enough interruptions.
It's hilarious
The bad camera angles, the unprepared nature, the missed social cues, the cloud of smug... Tim at his best 💯
The continuous loud clanking of the glasses
That awkward side-angle with the atrociously bright lightbulb and ill-fitting lampshade is just perfection.
@@CircuitRider that was cracking me up. The constant talking over Fred too! 😂
tbf thats literally every podcast@@hamsandwichson
Don’t forget needlessly combative
Bill does not consider imitation flattery. He’s gonna hate this and I love it
_Aaand..._ he didn't
No no. See Bill is against cancel culture. Therefore he can not have a negative take on a comedian because that would be cancelling and spreading the woke mind virus you see.
@@monsignorerasmus.6441 ruclips.net/video/PQ-boXbtKYQ/видео.html
@@monsignorerasmus.6441 hmmm?
He did. Tim has a clip on office hours where they reveal that maher and his producer were angry at the satire.
The mixture of smugness, self righteousness and being needlessly argumentative and lacking basic social skills is so spot on.
This is basically just Fred as me having a conversation with my Dad
ope looks like you got to this point first lmao do we have the same dad? he didn’t tell me about his previous fam so maybe!
1000% same.
dont forget how its unprompted every time, and how talking about like the new Zelda game becomes about how the Japanese worked with Democrats to undermine the US economy
9:56
lmao
Tim really captured how miserable an experience it is for every guest on Bill’s podcast.
Probably miserable for Bill, downing his sorrows over what he could've been.
Lol half way through i was wondering if Fred was in on the joke or just thought Tim was a conceited jerk. Then i remembered at the very least fred has worked with Tim as a writer on some shows. Good on him for playing along
@@tricursor2481 Playing along is the first rule of comedy.
Bill who?
Bill who?
Tim's restraint is so heroic. He waited 10 whole minutes before he said "woke mob".
That's how you know he's not a real conservative, since they'd drop that term within 1.4 seconds of the conversation starting
This boring scornful too cool to be actually funny thing is just such a waste. Why doesn’t he actually do something.
@@user-cu7uz5le3hyour comment is the most depressing thing I’ve heard since the civil war
WOKE MOB
@@Ioganstone Tim does nothing. What an easy bar. He get’s credit for not saying something. Most be the pot your smoking.
Tims Performance is impressive, but I honestly think it's even more impressive that Fred was able to keep a straight face for almost 40 minutes of this
Man's a pro.
Fred is one of the few legits
Fred almost cracked when Tim started playing footsie while ranting about how Orwelian Hollywood is
Fred legit looks like an actual guest on Bill's show.
Editing can be your friend. 😘
Even watching an impression of Bill Maher as a joke is infuriating
I had to stop watching. It's a great impression............ too good. Infuriating indeed.
Yes! 🙌 You can just see he’s dripping with contempt for Oh Powerful Susan and the Great Vagonis 😠
I find it hilarious that angry rightist people think he’s being serious here. I’m a dedicated centrist, there has been a lot of unintentional comedy lately on both sides of the aisle.
@@sub-jec-tivyikess
Wait, he was doing Bill Maher? I thought he was doing Dana Gould. It’s 17% funnier if it’s Maher. I
Why can't we have conversations like this anymore?
C’mon. Seriously? You know why, Fred. It’s the woke mob telling us to stop poking the bear and play ball.
They don’t make shows like this anymore, that’s for sure. You couldn’t make something like this today in 2023, can you imagine? There’d be riots and protests 😂
You understand this is satire right?
@@hudsonkiyonagawhat is?
@@hudsonkiyonagar/woooosh
"Some people can't drink"
"I disagree with that" LMAO
I feel like this could be a Colbert Report level character where half of the audience doesn’t think he’s joking
Can't remember where it was, but did see some right wing weirdo referencing a few short clips of this ep and talking about how he's making really good points here, a few months back.
20 years later, and I still can't get over how so many right wingers saw Colbert as some sort of right wing hero, as they genuinely believed it was for real and not satire.
It would have been a good interview of Fred actually let Tim finish his thoughts
@@HappyThifeI think you missed the joke
@@HappyThifeStraight over your noggin.
This went over your head!
*Bill
Just a very chill podcast with two dudes hanging out where one dude asks questions and answers them himself. Excellent.
You've just summed up The Bill Maher Experience podcast.
Why does he ask questions if he doesn't care about Fred's answers? Might as well just not have a guest.
@@brianmiddleton223 9:57 "Let me finish my thought, because this is a show where I'm interviewing myself and you so called guests are just a prop.
Heidecker transforms into Bill Maher without impersonating him, this is comedy at another level.
SATIRE
@@brianmiddleton223 I see the point of this went right over your head lol.
Mr. Heidecker, you are without doubt one of the world's best satirists. This was sublime.
Like a master musician knowing the wrongest note to hit in every moment, absolute perfection.
You ever watch Henry Phillips? Or more specifically, his cooking show/videos, "Henry's kitchen?" (All here on RUclips) He's like that with cooking. Making the absolute WORST move/decision possible, every time. So much so, I genuinely question whether or not he's actually really good in the kitchen, because how tf did he know to something so wrong/poorly, unless he actually knows what he's doing. Shit's funny as fucking hell, though. He played "John" the dude in the server farm basement in silicon valley("this is where your box will go...")or who Gilfoy ALMOST befriended, in the last season. Basically, I highly recommend checking it out.
He completely nailed the "Hey, don't listen to ME, I'm just some guy...but also I think you're living your life wrong and that I have it all figured out" podcaster
The name you are looking for is Joe Rogan
"Do you believe in god?"
".. Yea sure"
"Well who the fuck gives you any sort of authority to tell us there's a god"
"but you understand sir, I'm a comedian" Jon Stuart
Heidecker's ability to satirize is sincerely underrated.
No cap bro his shit it lit with it
Genuinely might be the best "in the game" at it. I remember when he called/Zoomed into Sam Seder's show. That was, sadly, my first exposure to him. For the first 10-15 mins, I thought he was being completely literal. His subtly is unmatched. Came from the Philly area (roughly) too, which makes it even cooler. H/t to the master, Mr. Heidecker. _(Or should I say... Ms. Heidecker with his lesbian haircut, amirite?!?!)_
:nerd_face
He’s built an entire career off it so….
I is one of the most critically acclaimed and successful comedians alive so I think he is pretty appropriately rated.
The part where Fred quits denying taking shots at the woke people with Portlandia and pivoting to just trying to escape the topic with "I'm glad you enjoyed whatever you thought was happening" is so funny
That's the thing. Hyper-woke people were already getting plenty of good criticism from the left. Then the nutcases came along from the far-right and turned "woke" in a synonym for things like "likes public education" and "thinks black people should have the right to vote." Nobody needed that shit.
"I'm glad you enjoyed whatever you thought was happening" should be the rightwing slogan lol
Tim just immediately tuning out and making noise after asking Fred a question is perfect
Ikr
See that's the thing!
You know who else is funny?
This might honestly be Tim’s magnum opus. Incredible. Props to Fred for playing straight man so perfectly too.
Idk if it can top the Rogan one bc that’s such a high bar but so far it’s pretty damn good
@@FromThe36thChamberThe Rogan bit is so perfect that if you listened to it for the first time with audio only, you couldn't be blamed for thinking it's actually Rogan acting soft spoken.
It is up there, but the 5 hour "Trial of Tim Heidecker" probably is his magnum opus
He never ceases to outdo himself haha
@@FromThe36thChamberdon't forget the trial. This is definitely in the top 3 with those other two.
Seeing Tim be politically incorrect in real time is what I'm here for.
So, this comment went over my head after the first time reading. "Politically Incorrect" and "Real Time" obviously being references to Bill Maher, oh-kaaaaay. It didn't dawn on me until I realized the set was a carbon copy of the twat's podcast. Damn, Tim is so talented with his subtly re: satire on comedians. 10/10, Heidecker. What's hilarious, too, is how Bill always tried to call out the "establishment." Well, if you're ever bored, look at his weekly guests. Between his suit, glasses -- most certainly for show, and choice of people to platform, he couldn't be more "establish-y" if he did it on CNN. Tim is the GOAT. Very smart choice to get a guy who never cracks (Fred).
Only thing missing (thankfully) is calling Fred his "House N."
Omg I just found this channel (vaguely remembered Tim and Eric) and I thought what the fuck. That looks like bull maher’s shit… glad this is more than just a random correlation
New Rule; NO MORE BULLSHIT
It’s wild! Love his dedication. You will never catch him say “just kidding”
You nailed how Bill starts nearly every sentence with “You can’t anymore”.
Such a good comment, it's a shame we're not allowed to make comments like this anymore
@@casskaydeedo you have a license for that comment?
You’re all cancelled, report to Polycule 69 for immediate gooning
-the Libs
I love how the two times Fred tries to make a little joke Tim cuts him off to explain 'This place is where you CAN make jokes.'
The low-rider chairs, the table overflowing with booze, the guest who politely declines getting high on camera, the casually late host. This is immaculate.
Him having his kitchen reno guy in the kitchen waiting the whole time
@@ImmaDoWhatIWant*guest kitchen 😂😂
Well, if you say so. By your description, it's a formula that's been done. And I think done much better by others, and actually funny (ex. Between Two Ferns, Fernwood Tonight)
@melanies.6030 Depends on your comedy tastes I suppose. Two Ferns was funny but to me it's very obvious satire. I prefer Tim's style more where it's so subtle it actually takes a minute to realize it's even satire.
@@melanies.6030this is a direct parody of Bill Maher’s podcast Club Random. Look up any episode, it’s this but it’s not supposed to be a joke
I love that if you didn't know who Fred Armisen was you still wouldn't know a thing about him after watching this.
I know he's a man trying his best to be a good Uncle Fester
The crunching of the ice and “I’m very careful about what I put in my body.”
I’m dying.
And the footwork with him splayed out and crowding Fred’s space. Perfect
Lol I never noticed the feet and legs of both of them.
drinks, smokes...
"I saw a clip of you playing guitar." The absolute smug disdain of it all is amazing 😂
Fred playing the "try to seem interested but actually dying inside" guest perfectly
Tim really nailed the physical posture. Smugly relaxed. That's not easy to slide into, and he holds it the whole time. Tim is a legit, underrated performer.
By whom? Everyone who talks about him raves 🙄
@thefunexaminedlife1145 not enough people talk about him and I know a lot who just don't get what he does.
@@GlitzPixieA little over 100,000 views isn't that much in the grand scheme. Far less talented people regularly get over a million views on this platform for doing much less than Tim is here.
His hunor is specific and niche and not for everyone but just as a performer, I don't hear enough about how good he is. Everyone knows he is hilarious but he's also just a very good actor and that part doesn't get enough credit, IMO.
I agree, Tim's so great!
Tim's character - yes smug & relaxed and hmm ..do I sense subtle undertones of dim-witted? 🤔
18:50 Tim asking the question, phrasing it wordily so he can talk more, then clinking glass together as the guest answers, only to stop him after five words... pure genius
Lmao he also says he doesn’t even believe his answer in the most condescending way.
@26:58 “My audience is a bunch of assholes and dimwits who think they’re getting something that they liked ten years ago” really sums it up best. Amazing.
The only "breaking the 4th wall" line of the episode 😂
Liberals....am I right?
Lol well said @thatscontraversial .. layers at play there
"speaking of here's my tour dates"
@@hugh-jasoleliberals are trash, but they're better than fascists, like you. Sargon and Styx? Embarrassing
The passive-aggressive condescension and the constant "business" with the glasses and props is perfect; the only thing missing is the slow-motion, drugged-out obliviousness to the guests' answers after asking the questions - and the occasional, blanked-out moments of mournful resignation, hinting at roiling, dark oceans of regret and self-loathing.
This guy fuckin gets it
we like our oceans dark, and roiling.
dont forget the slippery chair lol
@@SamuelFavata put it on my gravestone
I think you're reaching a little hard there for your political bias just to say "Bill is high".
Tim nails the completely unprepared, uninformed, and uncomfortable atmosphere of Bill Maher’s podcast. 😂
Fred is such a pro. Hader would probably break every 30 seconds if he were to do this and I wouldn't even blame him.Tim is just killing it. Amazing work. This is just perfect.
Fred was perfect for this. His posture and reactions nailed the intention. 👏
It would be good to see Hader break though lol lol
"Documentary NOW!" - Fred's work speaks for itself. Brilliant podcast - they should do a series of mockumentary podcasts IMO ...
Hader does good work though. He does impressions, characters.
@@degueloface Hader's on a different / superior level IMO. Fred's great, but his career is what it is ..
I pray Maher sees this and realizes that this is the only funny thing that's even been connected to him in the past decade or maybe ever
I hope he sees this and realizes we see right through the “hello fellow kids” attempt at having a podcast
@@3rdeye931and even if it does work it's not like people want to stick around for a "kids these days" monologue for half an hour
Nailed him 😂
His podcast is great and this is hilarious. Don't be a prick
Maher is an out-of-touch has-been.
Fred was really the perfect guest for this. I’m in awe of his ability to keep a straight face in front of Tim for that long!
@@BizznessBox Learn the difference between your and you're.
@JohnGraves1985 john graves is really smart!
i think the amount of cameras they have gives them a huge advantage in terms of editing tricks
As great and accurate as Heidecker's Bill Maher impression is, Armisen's increasing discomfort and confusion, and clear desire to get it over with is also amazing.
YES
Is Tim working with an outline? Like he hit every single trope and classic line from Bill. Was this all from memory? Did he watch two straight days of the show?? Sooooo good. Just so very good. 😂😂😂😂😂
It feels like he watched way too much Club Random in disbelief and gifted us this treasure.
Remember this is the same crazy bastard who staged a multi-day criminal trial and played out every second of it. For his cinema podcast. This is Tim in his element and I love it.😂 But you're right, it's incredible watching him pull it off, reminds me of Robin Williams at his improv peak but it's a whole different energy...
@@NB-gu9rs okay how do I find THAT????!!!
@@NB-gu9rsI watched that a couple days ago. Absolutely brilliant. Then I started watching the real life version in Darrell Brook's trial. The similarities are wild.
@@michelleprimm7412the trial of Tim heidecker
He even has the lightbulb poking out above the lampshade 😂
Tiny details
There are no small parts only small lightbulbs
Bill Maher's going to see this and not get that it's satire. He's going to think it's a real podcast that copied his show.
I died when Tim reached over and put out a cigarette in Fred's glass
😅😂
Tim is sensational here but some appreciation for Fred's performance too. He has the shyness / politeness / uncomfortability down a tee.
Man nobody can do this kind of deep dive into satirizing podcast culture like Tim. So spot on goddam.
Redbar does as well, but he and Tim are really the only talent in the game critiquing these internet “creators” right now.
I'm older than the average follower of these things and my two cents is Tim is brilliant.
@@gil902 lol ok you’re right Tim is so mainstream…the fuck are you talking about? Tim has an extremely niche audience and is basically an indie alt comic legend.
@@gil902Apples and oranges. Redbar commentates, Tim satirizes/parodies. I love Redbar but Tim is a legend too and one of the few legitimately funny comics out there today.
His pod with Rajat and Jeremy doing Rogan and this are just incredible
Tim is such a great actor. The posture alone of Maher and Rogan is so hilariously accurate. Fred really embodied the energy of the verbally trampled/fatigued guest. The only thing missing is a condescending petname for Fred, like honey or sweetheart
hahahah i was waiting for him to drop a 'honey' or 'sweetheart' too!
The different sofa covers lol
No resemblance to Rogan at all...but Maher 100%
Rogan is way more professional and attentive than Maher but, Tim also satirized him very well on a similar video concept last year.
@@popotade4621 Which video!! I want to see
This interview will be huge for Fred!
Give a real boost to his career, good exposure.
I love also that Tim and Fred have been working together for probably close to 20 years now
tim was born with the natural yet uncanny ability to just impersonate any douchebag that has existed
I almost died when Tim took Freds footspace lmfao pretty sure Fred used all of his strength to not laugh
Truly a LOL moment. Great channeling here by Tim.
Lol 💯
Read this and am just waiting for it now lol!
i think the editing does a great job of hiding how many times they probably both lost it, and i want those outtakes
The clinking of the glasses *chefs kiss*
This was so well executed it was hard to watch.
Lol legit made me uncomfortable at times. So great.
haha yes, i actually had to stop watching it. its such good satire that i was actually bored and turned off - the same effect the blowhards they are satirizing have on me.
It was hard to watch
This was so random I wish there was a club for this!!! 🤣
You know it’s good when you watch this whole thing, immediately start watching a Club Random episode, and you feel like Bill Maher is doing an impression of Tim from the Club Random spoof 😂
@aguzman11189 my dad is a boomer and LOVES Bill and wants me to come into the living room and watch some section on his HBO show... every single time its the smuggiest cringiest most obvious takes on the world.. Ive told my dad this and he responded with "im not a bill maherist you know"... me and my mom have used that as a joke for years now. I HATE shows that just dump on trump as if anyone fucking cares after a while
@@dizzle6709yah I agree with you about the trump thing(he sucks, everyone whose mentally stable knows this) however to give you some perspective, bill Maher was at one point actually good, witty, and had logical conversations that made sense. It’s like he’s from that movie Us, and is a totally different person. (Funny since Tim was in that movie)
@@TonyDanza4LyfeI strongly believe that Bill is the victim of a monkey's paw curse whereby he is slowly becoming everything he always hated most.
Deep respect to Fred for staying solidly seated in that chair for the entire interview! Also deep respect to master interviewer Tim. Amazing the vulnerability he can get out of people by denigrating them.
The entertainers need constant beratement to thrive Joe Jackson had it right!
lol the chair wasnt slippy enough
Where is Dreyfus when you need him?
Staying solidly seated is truly a lost art. Thank you for recognizing it and giving it a fair shake.
He was just afraid to "poke the bear".
Man , he had Bill Maher club random podcast down perfectly, especially not letting Fred talk and constantly interrupting him. Amazing job
9:56 “No! Just let me finish my thought.” I lost it at that line
Me too. I literally spit the water I was drinking out of my mouth
I had no idea Fred Armisen was this good at playing straight man. If only podcasts had Emmys.
The Webbys, I guess.
Tim doesn't just act, he channels... Killed it doing Maher same as Rogan.
He oughta do more, these are gold
Channelling is indeed the perfect word to describe it!
That Rogan spoof was so, so good.
He did rogan spoof? Where can I find this

My partner spotted the whiskey bottle with the Dekkar logo on it.
This whole thing is a masterpiece, both as satire and as a rich, nuanced character study of a monster. Fred Armisen was titanic in the straight-man role.
I don't know how you do all this excellent stuff, Tim, but keep doing all of it.
“My audience is a bunch of a$$holes and dimwits who think they’re getting something they liked ten years ago.” 😂🤣🤣 The look on Fred’s face when that came out. 😂😂😂
"And what gives you the authority to have an opinion about that?"
That part kills me every time I watch this masterpiece.
The rant starting at 20:10 is just such a perfect Maher tendency to avoid actually engaging a guest's point and insult them based on his lack of understanding. Top notch observation and impression by Tim, and Fred nails the uncomfortable guest body language
Leave it at 68. My fav number. It's all about I get mine, and I owe you one. Wayyyy better than 69.
This is incredible! The arrogance, gesturing and body language is so on point from Tim. I just love how uncomfortable Fred looks the entire time, and just talking along and agreeing like when you’re having a discussion with someone’s drunk dad! 😂 10/10
I love how devoted Tim is to speaking over every single thing that Fred says
It's truly magnificent!
Tim telling Fred, “ Let me just finish my thought” made me spit the water out of my mouth 🤣🤣🤣
I don't yet have the words for how incredibly well done this entire thing was; the absolute commitment to the bit is incredible. So well done that I wanted to turn it off while I'm drawing because Tim captured Bill so well & his arrogance towards everything, but it's such gold. I wish I could be a fly on the wall inside of the room that Bill was in whenever this was first brought to his attention.
"That's not funny. I wouldn't call that satire. I mean I love both of them and would love to have them come down to Club Random but that was really below their level of talent. I mean I don't really sit like that or try to play footsies. That's just silly but Tim was right on the wokeness going on. I really have to get him on the show." - Fly 🪰
No. I don't agree with the above fly. I think his first reaction would be totally dependent on whatever phase combinaion or not his head is in. Frankly I can't see him watching the whole 30 minutes. I say he gets bored with his narcisstic self in ten minutes. After a clove and a cocktail he'd be snoring. - psychic fly 🪰 (insomniac has to sleep)
"the audacity of this upstart pipsqueak to try to expose my brilliance and manliness and charisma as weakness or arrogance or narcissism. The smugness. The nerve of this guy." 🪰
There's gotta be a blooper reel for this, ain't no way they didn't crack up at some point
I guarantee this is just one live improv for an hour. Tim and Fred can just read eachother so well.
I love that Armisen’s bit here is “be as vague and noncommittal as possible, respond to every ideological question or statement in a way that is neither agreement or disagreement”
A tip of the hat to "Peter" from Portlandia. Bravo Mr. Armisen, but stick to the movies! TV shows are not as good.
That’s basically Bill Maher’s generic guest
I saw it as a guest who politely tries to push back but halfway through realizes that the easiest way out is just to agree with everything he says
20:44 "sure, sure, sure" *shrugs*
Pretty much all of Maher's actor guests are like this, they avoid anything too controversial and Maher just comes across as a pushy asshole for trying to force another conversation about how bad the left is lmao.
I love that every utterance from Fred is an unwelcome disruption to Tim's impeccable stream of consciousness
"The idea of George Carlin ever getting cancelled makes my stomach sick." 🤣😂🤣 That was a deep cut.
The interruptions when Armisen speaks are perfect
Constant 😂✌️♥️✌️♥️
let me just finish my thought
It's almost like Fred Armisen didn't want to spend a MINUTE with this Tim Heidecker!
16:46 Tim taking all the leg room and Fred trying to keep a straight face lol
I'm really happy that Tim let Fred speak so much.
i kept dying every time it cut to that one up high camera angle... tim really shines when it comes to satire, yall should do satire shows of other shows more often!
same, they nailed the crazy high angles completely
The real star of the podcast is the table lamp
I need to see a Golden Hour satire now
You should check out the satire he did of joe Rogans podcast if you haven’t seen it! One of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile
@@aggonzalez8096oh i have lol, i remember the 12 hour looped livestream

As a long time listener to club random, this is absolutely chef’s kiss. So many nuances that show how well Tim did his homework and Fred is absolutely perfect as the guest who’s increasing having to listen to Maher’s old man drunken ranting
don’t out yourself as a long time club random listener lol 😬
This is absolutely brilliant. All my complaints about Maher are shown here. Nothing shows I’m listening to your guest like fumbling around a table looking for a lighter to light your spliff. This is FANTASTIC
The camera angles, the clinking ice, the set. Absolute perfection
The clinking ice is perfect. Then when turns around and grabs his smoke **chef’s kiss**
but no chair slide
When he spreads his leg over Fred and moves the bucket out of the way haha so so good
The constant interruption 😂
The putting out the clove cigs in fred's glass, omg
I'm not sure which I laughed more at, when Tim slouched so hard he hit fetal position for a moment or when he kicked Fred's feet out of the way for more resting space.
Above all else, it's the perfectly timed interjections that stop the natural flow of a conversation.
I never watched this show and was getting angry organically at first before realizing its satire
"Now this isn't the Adam's Family...this is...what"
the emphasis on the "what" is masterful. Tim's still got it
This reminds me of that one guy everyone meets in college where you just happened to bring up a topic that they disagree with and they won't let it drop until you say you agree with them. And then afterwards you do everything possible to avoid them.
Actually now that I think about it my person was a woman who'd get offended that I didn't agree with the conspiracy theories she'd believed in and her counter point was always "I did my research, you didn't read what I have." 🤷
Unfortunately I was that guy in college. Some of us grow out of it...
I started crying at 16:49.. Tim kicks his foot and a random floor cup. BIG man-spreading energy. + open mouth ice crunching!
Me too. I was cracking up during that part. Poor Fred didn’t have a place to put his feet.
Fred almost broke
Lmaooo
Tim once again showing his comedy being years ahead of everyone else
This is one of the best impressions I've ever seen of anyone. Tim captured Bill's mannerisms and spirit so completely.
As a person that actually watches club random. This is absolute gold
@@HappyThifewhat are your pronouns? I’m afraid to even comment. I’ll just stay inside and get cancer, can’t do anything anyway. The woke mind virus took away my right to be a person. Absolutely miserable everyday, nothing is fun anymore.
This was AMAZING. The weird camera angles, cutting Fred off, everything Tim did and said was spot on and hilarious. I kept laughing out loud.
He's amazing
Tim is so good! Nailed it with the nonstop interruptions and nostalgia - Fred is a perfect guest for this too.
Tim please pump out as many of these episodes as you can theyre hysterical
I love that the commercials feel like a hostage video
lol 😂😂😂
Hahaha seriously
What’s really crazy is that this version of bill at least lets the conversation go to many different topics. The real Bill would get stuck on 2 or 3 and force the guest to talk about those for an hour.
specifically ranting about "wokeness"
Don’t forget masks.
Oh so you're married? Yikes. I guess it works for certain people. Let me tell you why I'm not for the next 40 minutes
Pick two out of COVID, Wokness, Environmentalists, Drugs/alcohol, marriage, and broad generalizations about millennials or gen Z and that’s the show.
He would talk about how he is Happy about not having kids for 10 minutes then rail on wokeness without ever defining it. Criticizing mask wearing and vaccines without ever explaining why. Then as he gets more high he would forget what he's saying and ask what was I saying. Bill Maher went from the wittiest political comedian to an insufferable boomer.
Holy shit this might be one of my favorite videos of the year. It’s already been said here, but his ability to so accurately capture the multitude of ways Maher and his crappy podcast piss people off is just *chefs kiss*
Brilliant. Like revisiting every soul-sapping and ball-achingly dull "conversation" when stuck with a dogmatic narcissist I've had.
Such a unique podcast. It reminds me a little of Club Random with Bill Mayor
Let’s not take for granted how increasingly tangible Fred’s discomfort gets 😂
I worked an event back in 2007. Bill Maher was the emcee and I had to check on him in his green room from time to time. He is as smug in person as Tim portrays him to be. TH nailing it.
This is so God dang clever and perfect. Tim stretching his legs all the way out, forcing Fred to pull his back at an uncomfortable angle was hilarious! And Tim putting his shoes up on the chair, getting them too close to Fred's hand for just a second was really funny too
Tim Maher is at it again! Love it!
The woke mob HATES this man for this one simply trick
This is like Tim Maher
lighting up a fat "clove" and drinking along with you Tim. All the best to Fredrick and his fighting the good fight with Portlandia and shit
This should be a continuous thing. You should appropriate Bill's whole schtick. He'd be so mad lol
Bill strikes me as the kind of guy who can dish it out but can't take it. He would probably be furious if he ever saw this.
“You aren’t political, well you are in the case of Portlandia” so good.
