              My mom used to guilt me into going over to her house and then would spend the entire time on the couch playing with her iPad with the tv on, but would not tolerate me changing the channel even though it was clear she wasn't actually watching it.

      IN THE GAME CALL OF DUTY bring a Palestinian flag secretly and then run on stage in front of the cameras hollering "FREE PALESTINE! STOP THE GENOCIDE! 17,000 MURDERED BY ISRAEL, OVER 4,000 CHILDREN MURDERED BY ISRAEL! STOP THE GENOCIDE!"

      or something like that in the game CALL OF DUTY.

      In case something like anything I have said or have ever said does happen, I do not condone it nor did I expressly order for it to occur. Anything and everything I say, have said, or will ever say is satire and not to be taken seriously.

      Just disrupt his show by loudly calling him a brainless idiot until you’re “forced” to leave (free speech)

    As much as I dislike Mr. Beast and his voyeuristic style of "charity", helping cure blind people is universally seen as a good thing, fucking bozo.

      I refuse to watch bill maher but if I had to bet money on what the video is, I suspect the text beneath bill maher in the screen shot is sarcastic, and he's making the smuglord left-punching point that we should be thankful for the voyeuristic capitalist philanthrope and his exploitative shenanigans, and that criticism of said shenanigans is fun-hating hysteria.

      EDIT: I watched 3 seconds of the video, and yes, that is exactly what bill maher is doing.

      Yeah, people don't seem to grasp that we aren't mad that he's helping people, it's that he's doing a crap job of helping people and getting rich off of it the whole time

      Also his snacks are terrible, despite being easy to shoplift

    Bill Maher is like the ur boomer lib. He was an above average, but no where near exceptional, comedian who was in the right place at the right time and was white and male and middle class.

        By above average I mean he showed up on time mostly sober and could perform his set regularly for a few years before breaking through.

    Because he is wildly out of touch and relies on some zoomer writing assistant interns (or something) to pretend he knows what is current.

    Does Mr beast do his charity through a non-profit or through his youtube buisness?

    If it's the latter than my hot take is that this would make him morally superior to 99% of philanthropy that has existed in the contemporary era since write offs for business' expenses aren't nearly as generous as the write offs for NGO based charity.
