As a genX, I can’t understand the whole ‘trigger warning’ thing. We were shown Schindler’s List in history class at age 13, and it’s pretty graphic and upsetting. That was the point! BE upset, BE appalled, BE sick to your stomach about what really happened. It’s on us to never let it be forgotten. Not to hide in a corner because it’s too confronting.
I truly agree with you. I used to think I had plenty of friends, but then when I realized all the women I was friends with seemed like they had a high school mentality. Talked shit about me, jealous of me, and actually think I'm stupid over my politics. I am glad I have a couple of good girl friends that I don't have to worry about them trying to steal my life or my husband. Not that my husband can be stolen. You know what I mean... we all know those women! Oh, they'll try and smile at you while they are trying to wreck your world.
YES to this. I cut a friend out of my life the second i moved out of the apartment near her house. I figured it was then or never. She was so toxic, i couldnt believe what i put up with. She manipulated me into so many bad situations and used me as a wing woman to go out and pick up guys, but whenever i tried to meet someone and came close to doing it, she would look for an excuse to get out of whatever bar we were in saying she wanted to go somewhere else. She was just fucking awful and one of the few things in my life ive gotten rid of that i have zero regrets about.
As a Brit I really love to watch Bill Maher, he hits all the right political notes in such a comedic manner ... it is the sort of comedy we used to get here in the UK before cancel culture started to pervade our lives and long may he carry on.
Maher's "hitting all the right political notes" played its role in making what's happening now happen, so maybe the political notes he was hitting until about yesterday were not all that right ones.
How is Jonathan Pie doing these days? I used to watch him a lot a few years ago, but haven't in a while. I remember he used to work a lot with what Maher is pointing out here: neither one openly calls it "leftist vs. liberal" but that's really what it is.
Please continue the Cojones Awards. This is the type of reinforcement society needs to overcome cancel culture. By showing examples of others who stood up and didn't back down this is how others will rise.
What courage, he only pointed out when the left went after the left. He had no regard for the right and made fun of them going into his story. This was just another case of you have gone too far because now you came after us. Booo hooo.

Love your pin I’m going to make one and start wearing it PROUDLY💖💖💖💖 My Mom always said before my Dad died if she was left here she never ever wanted brass balls again even if they were GOLD plated!!!!!???!
Yeah,, it was golden globes not oscars but I don't think Bill would've mention Ricky because he doesn't want to insult his powerfully Hollywood friends. It's much easier finding a niche group and go after them.
Gervais picks an award show for actors to complain about and insult actors. If you don't like watching actors get awards, why are you watching and "thinking" anything about them.? It's not for you, watch something else.
Problem is they probably didn’t have to many people to choose from unfortunately. There’s not a lot of corporations or celebrities that have balls big enough to stand up to these morons

This message is to producers of REAL TIME and to Bill Maher himself… THANK YOU for doing this segment. I wish you would expand this and do it monthly or at least quarterly…for three reasons. 1. It’s very funny and has a good pace which will not get old. Quite the contrary; it will get more popular and more funny as it scales up as the audience knows the beats to expect (just like New Rules). 2. It’s the right thing to do. 3. This will pay huge dividends in ten years when this flood tide of cancellation has reversed and we all look back at the heroes that pushed back in the moment. If you go “all in” on this segment you will be indisputably atop the list of reformer heroes who had the balls to make cancellation efforts radically uncool. Thank you again for taking a very funny, very principled stand.
The only down side to this is that it should have started ten years ago. Plus it's not always dumb college students, from the start it was often some of their unhinged professors egging them on like that red head lady directing protestors to forcibly remove an Asian student journalist for simply taking pictures. Then there is governing bodies like the Canadian Human Rights Commission (or council?) and now Board of Psychology going after Jordan Peterson. This isn't all just over sensitive kids, and it never has been.
Bill Maher is one of the only public figures I agree with most of the time. Not right, not left, and he makes me laugh. I wish more people would take themselves less seriously.
Colleges are meant to not just train you in a profession, but also prepare you for the adult and real world you will eventually have to deal with and if you truly want to have trigger warnings about classes that involve those subjects, then college probably isn't for you and to be frank that also includes being a functioning adult because life rarely give 'trigger warnings' if at all.😮

Great idea. I would nominate the producer (which could technically include Tom Cruise) for the decision in Top Gun Maverick to include the original Taiwan patch on Maverick's bomber jacket on the final movie release (was left out for trailer). China adamantly wanted it removed otherwise it would not show the film in China, which would've lead to easily 300-400 mil in additional revenue for the production company, but on principle they took a stand and gave a big FU to China by leaving the patch on. A Cojonesy decision for sure.
At least you make more money if you choose to alter your film to adhere to China's strict regulations. What money do companies make when they agree to comply with the wokies' madness?
Actually they CGI'd it in after having removed it. The production buckled under financial pressure from Tencent. But when the company pulled their financing anyway the patches returned.

At a university at which I once worked, I suggested if anyone decided to move here permanently, they should learn to speak English. I used the example that if I visited Germany, it would be nice if some Germans helped me understand what I was trying to say. BUT if I moved there to live, I should learn to speak German fluently. My supervisor suggested I needed to attend “sensitivity training” so as not to offend people living here who chose not to learn English & would be offended by that advice. 🙄

There was no BS back then; if you felt insulted then you’d s just drop out of that class. No professor would cater to your version of reality or cuddle you if you couldn’t handle the truth. 😅

The concept of the Cojones Awards is utterly clever! It's so funny how the brass cojones loosely swing from their attachment at the top of the stand. More of these awards presentations, Bill!
Genitalia humor is what comedians commonly refers to as a "safe bet". It's a chep way to get people to laugh, and there is rarely any cleverness or depth to it. An award for having the balls to stand up against the woke madness is a great concept, but literal swinging brass balls is just childish.

@@The1DUIGuy Yes, who could have believed that such an unnecessary novelty as truck-nuts, would ever sell? It was genius of Bill Maher to present them as a goofy prop.🤣
This has to be one of Bill’s best episodes. The award winners he mentioned would be proud to display their cojones awards. You should ship them with your congratulations. 👍
Wow! For the next show, I'll get my popcorn ready. Wasn't anticipating this. Well done, Bill! Also, if you're already thinking of a lifetime achievement, Ricky Gervais should get the inagrual award.
lmao 😂 @3:03, both the ceremony and the award itself were already great, but...........the fact that they felt the need to not just make it a statues of balls, but actually have a hinge point to swing on........👌😄💯 BEAUTIFUL touch -so delightfully unnecessary yet hilarious, haha.
Fully agree. When I saw them swing I immediately wondered....I bet there was a brief discussion as to whether they should be stationary or swing. The extra comedic element won out :)
I am so pleased at Bill Maher for having the *COJONES* to make this award ceremony. I hope to see many more over the years (I'm assuming it's held annually) 🏆
I love it as well. I just wish Bill Maher only had the cojones a few years ago when he joked on his show and said "I'm a house ni**a", and had Michael Eric Dyson and Ice Cube on the show the following week to condemn him for having the audacity to say the word in any context. I think if that whole thing happened now, Bill would take a different approach to it.
@@joeburns4209 the word can be said in the right context. That's why context exists -- to bring words/sentences/video clips/etc into a more balanced understanding
Just remember in this best bit, he trashes the right for standing up and then praised the lefties who came after the lefties. He never once supported or mentioned the right doing it to get their award. So brave and stunning to be mad when they come after your crowd but pile on when it is the other side. Hardly heroic.
Best awards show ever. Hopefully this will encourage more people to be brave enough to confront all the entitled dummies who cancel everything and who try to shame anyone who has a different opinion than their woke selves. Well done!

I used the example that if I visited Germany, it would be nice if some Germans helped me understand what I was trying to say. BUT if I moved there to live, I should learn to speak German fluently. My supervisor suggested I needed to attend “sensitivity training” so as not to offend people living here who chose not to learn English & would be offended by that advice. 🙄
My buddy lives in Costa Rica for over a decade. He even has a Costa Rican Spanish wife .. he hasn’t learned a lick of Spanish and he’s doing fine. Let ‘em do what they want. You can only do you.
In a few years, Ricky Gervais should get a Lifetime Achievement award.

Love the Cajones Awards, I hope we see more of these in the future.
Actually it would be better if we didn't have to have it.
Just as long as it doesn't evolve into the Stand Your Ground Awards...
@@GnomeChomsky9999 There's nothing wrong with standing your ground. One could argue it's the first principle on which this Country was founded.
@@ge2623 I think we have to - Some one needs to keep track of this lunacy. The mass firings by big tech is certainly in part because they grew a pair (cajones) and like Net Flix wanted employees to tone down the "public" hyper-sensitivity.
@@TheCharleseye No, one of the first principles of the founding period was killing all natives that tried to stand their ground. Finding some self-justification like 'stand your ground' for keeping it even if it's stolen land came afterwards.
This was great! You Have to make this a regular spot. It is up there with "New Rules"
Bravo! More awards...semi-annually, please. I cannot wait a year!
Great "New Rules". Killed it. Congratulations to everyone that won a Cojones award.
Ah thank you Bill. The middle really needs a voice like yours more than ever before.
THANKS BILL. THIS IS THE PERFECT AWARD SHOW FOR THIS DAY AND AGE. I would suggest a weekly, or at least monthly update on possible nominees. Please help reinstate America's testicles.
But seriously, this would be the greatest award show of all time.
The great thing about the Cojones Awards: If you don’t win one, you can just grow a pair!
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes I'm sure the creators of "Jose" beer are flaming libs.
Or you can go online and buy a set: bumper balls. Then you can just pretend. It helps to have a pickup truck to complete the outfit.
And the award for most clever comment goes to..... this guy!
You win the comments section!
This ought to be a WEEKLY segment! Thank you, Bill!
I wish this segment went on for HOURS!!!
I'm from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ever since I met Mrs Sophia I'm now living big life she's the best
Mrs Sophia
guidance or strategy, your profit rate is 98
percent guaranteed and the minimum risk
percentage is just 2 percent which is a rare
happening in a long while now. I have been
benefiting from her services for a year and half
now.
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Sophia I thought I'm the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
@@abubakardaudyut Yes is obviously the best, I invested $3,000 and she made profit of $28,000 for me just in 15 days
Please make the Cojones Awards regular thing! I loved every minute of it!
Couldn't agree with you more
its actually important to do so, for 3 reasons:
1) because its awesome and will continue to be hilarious as long as its made necessary.
2) don't leave just the first handful to bear whatever blowback could come from the spotlight you've shined, Bill. even it out!
3) we need more heroes. a lot more. so mint us some, won't you, Bill?
..and you must admit, the homework for it will be fun!
Hes been doing his best work lately. This is classic. Literally laughing out loud!!
"literally"
I want to see this more than once a year.
Bravo Bill! You are always entertaining and enlightening, and your writers are excellent also! Keep ‘em coming, we’re watching from the middle
This must not be an annual thing... it needs to be at least quarterly, if not monthly. Bravo, Bill!
Bill just invented the ball shaped bow. OMG
More Cojones Awards skits please.
Actually, I guess first we'll need to find more individuals out there doing things that merit a Cojones Award. Here's hoping we get some.
🥚🥚👍👍
At he rate of cancellations this year we'll have at least 1 billion attempted cancellations "my coffee is too bitter this is a hate crime!"
So we should be able to get enough cajone recipients each year.
Brilliant! About time! Absolutely effing brilliant and one of his best routines ever!! 👏
You have got to make this a thing PLEASE!
FAF.
And true AF.
This was and is so effing needed. Well done Bill and writers!
SOrry, your generation is over, way over. Get used to it, gramps.
@@stevenrobert8567
Go eat a tide pod
Are you referring to the generation that received a decent education and learned what letters to capitalize in a name or sentence?
@@josephwiacek8123 Boomers didn't kill children, or 60 people at a whack. And we had no mass shooting every other day. And we would not put up with someone like Trump. We were civil, and had no road rage shootings. We would have never tolerated what you folks have come to believe is somehow normal.
@@stevenrobert8567 sorry, but this nonsense is going away fast. Deal with it. Normal people are done with you crybabies. The ratio will tell you everything.
haha, oh my god, that lapel pin had me spitting out coffee hahaha. The life time achievement Cojone goes to you Bill. Thank you for your service.
I don't watch the Oscars anymore, but I would gladly watch the Cojones Awards. Hopefully, this will be back next year!
Absolutely loved this segment. Make it a recurrent one. 😂🎉
Oh my God, you verbalized in about 10 minutes what I've been thinking for about 2 years thank you Bill
Yes, same here ! Bill is simply brilliant!👍👏
This was one of the best segments! God --I needed that laugh
One of the best Bill clips in a long time.
Great award show, great award winners and fantastic cut in clips of audience applauding frantically!
When I was in college, 20+ years ago, some guy in America History class had threw a tantrum when the professor talked about human sacrifices by the Aztecs. He yelled like a maniac and said there was no proof and it was a lie. The professor politely asked him to leave his class. That guy never came back to class. There was no BS back then; if you felt insulted then you’d s just drop out of that class. No professor would cater to your version of reality or cuddle you if you couldn’t handle the truth. 😅
That is a perfect example of people who cannot deal with reality...ffs those temples have so many human bones around them they are like gravel under foot smh
Students who disrespect the class and the instructor should be immediately kicked out.
Sadly now the institutions themselves are trying to rewrite the history they teach, schools and colleges really are nothing but full-blown indoctrination camps these days.
@@tuele4302this is also a Horrible approach especially in the scientific fields. It should rather depend on HOW said student expressed the disrespect. If not, they'd still be learning about humours and leeching in medical schools
@@timestamp2525 Yelling, interrupting the instructor, pathological antisocial attitudes, and blatant disrespect for the teacher/professor and fellow students are not signs of a person who cares about education. Such an individual should be expelled.
This is actually a very good idea, considering how much Americans like awards and how much attention they get.
It's also a good idea considering how much Americans are so obsessed with who actually has NUTS and who hasn't.
A better idea would be to watch the 14-minute 1942 US Department of Agriculture video, *Hemp for Victory,* and learn how to grow "Marihuana" to fight against fascism and climate change.
@@lennonacid butts n' nuts pretty much
he has to switch the trophys for this be real lol
There also needs to be the opposite award, for people who apologize for things they should have never apologized for.
Finally an award show worth watching !
Brilliant. Reminds me of senator Proxmire’s Golden Fleece awards. Keep it up.
The concept of the Cojones Awards is utterly clever! It's so funny how the brass cojones loosely swing from their attachment at the top of the stand. More of these awards presentations, Bill!
Genitalia humor is what comedians commonly refers to as a "safe bet". It's a chep way to get people to laugh, and there is rarely any cleverness or depth to it.
An award for having the balls to stand up against the woke madness is a great concept, but literal swinging brass balls is just childish.
Those are truck nuts. Nothing creative.
@@Robin-bk2lm- Well, certainly a more creative and witty use for truck-nuts than hanging them off the back of a lifted truck to advertise to the world the driver’s inadequacies….
@@The1DUIGuy Yes, who could have believed that such an unnecessary novelty as truck-nuts, would ever sell? It was genius of Bill Maher to present them as a goofy prop.🤣
This has to be one of Bill’s best episodes. The award winners he mentioned would be proud to display their cojones awards. You should ship them with your congratulations. 👍
You know that Bill will too!!
As the Budweiser boycott is going on…adorable “ the left cancels people”
I think you mean "Cojonulations".
Wow! For the next show, I'll get my popcorn ready. Wasn't anticipating this. Well done, Bill! Also, if you're already thinking of a lifetime achievement, Ricky Gervais should get the inagrual award.
If only there was an actual award like that, it would be so awesome I'd be teary eyed.
Bill Maher is the greatest. The Cojones Awards should be a regular segment. Thanks, Bill, for using humour to turn the world the right way up again.
lmao 😂 @3:03, both the ceremony and the award itself were already great, but...........the fact that they felt the need to not just make it a statues of balls, but actually have a hinge point to swing on........👌😄💯 BEAUTIFUL touch -so delightfully unnecessary yet hilarious, haha.
hahaha, they swing! 😂😂
I also love how the ribbon on his jacket is in the shape of balls.
Fully agree. When I saw them swing I immediately wondered....I bet there was a brief discussion as to whether they should be stationary or swing. The extra comedic element won out :)
Whoever’s job it was to design that trophy definitely doesn’t have a bullshit job. Excellent work.
They just gold painted some store-bought Truck-Nuts, that swing on purpose.
This is the best award show in the history of television.
This segment needs to be done monthly!!! Loved it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
And let's hope there are enough competitors to have the award show monthly!
Loved the Cajones Award show. I'd watch it monthly. Great work Bill. Keep 'em coming.
Hilarious! A must every year Bill!! ❤😂
I'd watch this award show above any other. ❤
I am so pleased at Bill Maher for having the *COJONES* to make this award ceremony. I hope to see many more over the years (I'm assuming it's held annually) 🏆
We can only hope my friend, we can only hope!🙂🙏
I love it as well. I just wish Bill Maher only had the cojones a few years ago when he joked on his show and said "I'm a house ni**a", and had Michael Eric Dyson and Ice Cube on the show the following week to condemn him for having the audacity to say the word in any context. I think if that whole thing happened now, Bill would take a different approach to it.
@@joeburns4209 the word can be said in the right context. That's why context exists -- to bring words/sentences/video clips/etc into a more balanced understanding
Let’s hope this time next year there are enough awards to take up Bill’s entire hour - AND the Overtime.
Let's hope there are enough nominees to make the Cojones Awards a weekly segment.
I loved this! But it ended so quickly 😢 I want more!!!
You should do a "In Remembrance" reel of all of the people who lost their Cojones in the past year.
Loved this! Thank you, Bill, for encouraging us to stand up to the current nonsense.
This was one of the best bits I have seen from Real Time! Very well done, I enjoyed it. Thank You.
Just remember in this best bit, he trashes the right for standing up and then praised the lefties who came after the lefties. He never once supported or mentioned the right doing it to get their award. So brave and stunning to be mad when they come after your crowd but pile on when it is the other side. Hardly heroic.
"That's not a rule; fuck you!" Love it.
I say that to anyone even remotely trying to 'cancel' me for what I say they don't like hearing! Thier reaction when I do is so priceless!!!😅😅😅
I would love for this to be a regular segment.
When Bill is wrong, he is wrong - and that makes him human. But when he is right, he nails the landing like a professional. Nicely done, sir.
The Cojones Awards needs to go mainstream. Great show
Classic!!! I will be watching the Cojones every year!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This is what we need. This and all the winners and more! Great JOB
This is absolutely brilliant.
There should also be a monthly reverse cohones award show.
I agree. A Golden Slug award for spineless, two-faced, wimpy hypocrites. (McConnell and McCarthy immediately come to mind).
The Eunuch Awards?
Tiny glass marbles attached to an eensie-weensie shrunken peensie?
@@tomogden2432 That works! ✌
The Raisins? 😜
Having courage is always a virtue
I want to see all the nominees 😂 Expecting a super long list
Love it, and love you Bill - love what you do and how you do it. Will be waiting with baited ball breath for next year's Cojones Awards. Thank you.
Best awards show ever. Hopefully this will encourage more people to be brave enough to confront all the entitled dummies who cancel everything and who try to shame anyone who has a different opinion than their woke selves. Well done!
