‘Real Time’: Bill Maher Blames Dems’ Election Loss & Andrew Tate’s Rise On TV’s “Endless Parade Of Eye-Roll, Short-Bus Dads”
As Bill Maher wrapped up his 700th episode of 'Real Time', he got on his soapbox to mourn the supposed loss of masculinity in media.
“Let’s make the Father’s Day we just celebrated the last one that takes place in a culture where dads have become such punching bags, literally the last demographic group that TV, ads and movies can still depict as clueless, useless dipshits, basically just another child mom has to look after,” he launched into his sermon. He blamed the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby for the decline of masculinity in culture, and want as far as to link sitcoms like Married with Children, The Simpsons, Modern Family and Malcolm in the Middle, as well as the Apple TV+ series Your Friends and Neighbors, to the uprising of figures like convicted rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate. After taking some jabs at Cleopatra, Hillary Clinton and Marie Antoinette to support his point, Maher continued, “Besides being historically naive, this cringey pandering is why teenage boys flock to jerks like Andrew Tate.”
