Also, didn't his generation normalize backpacking across Europe in their mid-20s? Isn't this just the same thing, except more domestic and being able to publicly share pictures?

I like how he's implying that being an astronaut is more realistic than being an influencer somehow.

Bill’s entire personality now revolves around the fact that a kid once said ok boomer to him.

Reminder: When Bill Maher refers to "enduring those early shitty jobs", he specifically means when he sold weed in college. Literally the closest to a real job he's had.

The fact that he said ”these kids don’t want to work a shitty job and live in a shitty apartment” says it all. Nowadays, its 2-3 shitty jobs, to live in a shitty apartment with a bunch of roommates.

Dude can't even pick a lane on what he hates about this generation. We're somehow both a bunch of homeless hippies to him but also apparently as rich and privileged as he doesn't realize he is.

Bill has unrelenting “Art degrees are meaningless but I do consider myself an artist of my craft” energy

7:31 just realized the hypocrisy of this statement. In another episode Bill talks about how stupid it is to encourage kids to do what they want to do (yes it’s in a transphobic context), saying that if everyone got the job they wanted to do as a kid then everyone would be cowboys and princesses. Pick one Bill. Are your childhood aspirations good societal indicators or not?

"How dare kids these days do exactly what I did my whole life, but on their own without being part of a trillion dollar entertainment cartel?"

All of Bill Maher's opinions on influencers/creators seem to come from a place of insecurity because of how new media is eclipsing old media. I imagine ratings have only gone down for him over the years, and he probably holds a lot of resentment towards the creators people are choosing to watch instead of him. It radiates "it must be the children who are wrong!" energy.

"Kids don't want to be astronauts anymore" —this should have been more of a critique of the lack of science and educational spending

Old people love calling genz lazy but then refuse to use self checkout or put their cart backs at grocery stores.

originally I wanted to be a content creator but now i have to quit and get a lower paying less fulfilling job because this old guy said i’m weird for it

"There are plenty of good jobs in... Retail..." Just goes to show he hasn't interacted with a retail worker in at least 40 years

The funniest thing about Maher is that if you look back at his early career- 90% of it was making fun of EXACTLY who he’s become. He’s the punchline now, which is why they are missing in his ‘comedy’.

Like my Dad pointed out to me once; the trend of people wanting to be influencers is not a new thing. Things go in cycles: when my Dad was a kid in the 70s and 80s every kid with a guitar wanted to be the next Jimmy Page.

"Kids just don't want to be spit on by anti-maskers for minimum wage anymore, and that's their fault" is certainly a take.

woman is tragically murdered

Bill: Can you believe what her job is? holds 30 seconds waiting for laughter and applause to start

I love how Bill doesn't even say "Gabby Petito," he just calls her "The young woman who got murdered." The disrespect is truly astonishing.
