Bill Maher: Live from Oklahoma (2018) Reviews

• Huge Maher fan but not his best performance

  Bill Maher is a phenomenal talent and I've been a fan for a long time. This performance was not up to Maher standards. His jokes didn't "flow" like they normally do when Bill is at the top of his game, and the delivery was just subpar. Also a lot of the material was just unoriginal and overly predictable. "Trump sucks, Trump's a dictator, Trump's crazy, Republicans are crazy, blah blah blah". I know the anti-trump thing is his schtick these days so maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but was just hoping he would tackle some new material for a major new standup special.

  Mostly Trump this, Trump that. Old stuff, not funny nor imaginative. You could feel the crowd was just enjoying being present at such an eminent (I guess) show, not really enjoying the "jokes". You could also see that it was clear to Maher that he wasn't getting through (no surprise there though). he was sweating something awful.

• A Trump bashing mixed with some social and culture takes.

  Just watched this latest HBO stand up special from Bill Maher which was his 11th and I must say that it was typical Maher a committed left wing liberal it was mostly a lot of jokes and a fun bashing of current president Trump. Still Bill has guts by making a trip into a red state like Oklahoma, it still was a funny show that even challenged the left to be better. And of course Maher attacked religion and he spoke on topics like marriage, kids, and had plenty of jokes about masturbation even! Overall a good special for "HBO" as if you like Bill Maher you will enjoy this special so catch it sometime.

• Bill, Sorry but you failed!

  Bill Maher: Live from Oklahoma is nothing more then a recap of his Trump jokes already told on his monologues on Real Time. He did throw in some extra Trump bashing for those who just cannot get enough. I personally like Bill Maher, but, this is a total Fail.

• 1 full hour of Trump derangement

  I remember when he had some insight into society with his "making women nod" observations, that took a little bravery. Now he's become the mouth piece of corporate leftism, zero self reflection, half the things he says would apply to himself if he had any sense of self awareness. He makes some empty criticisms of left wing safe spaces, but doesn't really delve into why they exist. He like most of these comics no longer understands that humor comes from insight into unacknowledged societal truths, and at this point there is no insight to be had, its all superficial. So really, what you are watching here is an 1 hour political rally, it isn't stand up, and If you've seen the humorless opening stand up of late night tv these days, or even Mahers own show, this is completely redundant, not just lame, but stale.
