Bill is the friend that can't stop yapping while stoned. Dana is so patient.

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

Do you not think you're judging too harshly?. I've only seen this clip so maybe you are right but in THIS clip it's just 2 people having a conversation. Sometimes one has more to say than the other but it seems ok to me.

[@retiredluvit4100]

bill needs to just be quiet and let dana tell his story

Plot twist: Bill Maher smoked so much weed he assumed he was talking to Dana White until @0:48 when Dana Carvey mentioned doing standup in 1976.

[@wolfman8449]

The key to Robin wasn't just his comedy, lots of people are funny and talented. Very few people on earth bring out the love in mass amounts of people. Robin had an "it" factor but it wasn't show business related, he connected to mass amounts of people, from kids to adults. I think we saw what we wanted to be in Robin and I think he showed us what he wanted to be through himself.

[@brucefiddler4744]

Dana is 500% funnier than Maar. Love the guy

[@bmwloco]

Saw Robin Williams live at Chastain Park in Atlanta. Laughed so much I could not tell you anything - but he did riff on Spud Webb (smallest player on Atlanta basketball team) for 10 minutes. Brilliance.

[@bipolarminddroppings]

Robin Williams said the truest and funniest thing I've ever heard, it will stay with me forever: Being a cocaine addict is mother nature's way of telling you that you've got too much money.

[@tliszt]

I’d say that he (Dana) at least tried to tell his story about Robin. Bill seems high and foggy.

[@stellabandante2727]

Bill, you lose your edge when you're high.

[@raybrown8887]

I like Bill Maher and he is usually so articulate I bothers me to listen to him on these shows when he is clearly in the bag. I'm not judging but not my cup of tea.

He seems articulate on his show because it's all scripted ahead of time. In real time, you get the real Bill.

Robin Williams was Falstaff for Millennials. Saw his HBO Live on Broadway 2002 when I was 15, and Bill is right; the audience just exploded in communal laughter at most bits. Some of the jokes are dated (Iraq war & Bush the younger stuff) but the Invention of Golf and Oral Sex After Viagra Orgasm are still hilarious.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

I love "weed" Bill. He enjoys a conversation like a child enjoys Playdoh. 😂

[@johngoldsworthy7135]

Because he’s lonely and doesn’t have a family

[@FatNorthernBigot]

@@johngoldsworthy7135 I'm willing to bet he's starting to regret his "no family" status at his time of life. Singlehood is fine when it's wine women and song, but it starts to get old when we do.

“Wow good memory” who we talking about? 😂

[@normmurray9810]

I love how Dana mentions "Robin" and Bill is the only person in the world who thinks that maybe Dana is randomly referring to Mike Myers' wife.

[@red.5475]

You can tell Bill loves doing that "hit the subscribe button" business, at the end. 😂

[@walshnormandy1605]

I just finished this recently, and didn't learn much, but I get that that's probably the point of this "loose" format, and especially since Maher's other big "thing" is very dense with info and policy. Anyway, I really didn't care how Bill tried taking a shot at Mike Meyers, and thankfully, Dana didn't take that bait, as their relationship seems to have been greatly repaired as the years have gone by.

Bill is losing it. His interview of Weird Al was a catastrophe.

[@christianfinkbeiner684]

Bill gets high to the point of no longer understanding English. Dana: "We became friends." Bill: "You did? With him?"

[@sipzter]

Hey Bill - Stay with it man. (Perhaps a smidge less weed and booze?)

[@bltvd]

Why does Bill act like it is the first time he ever got high? Has he not been smoking awhile? No long term smoker acts like that.

[@debrajackson3499]

Bill needs to be less high when interviewing

[@KhalDrogo76]

Robin, like all great comedians such as Carlin and Hicks, was a brilliant mind....that thread of similarity across all these people is extremely high intellect.

[@jonathanryals9934]

Stealing jokes is like stealing guitar riffs. Unless it is on the level of an exact impersonation it often isn't about the riff/joke it is how the personality interprets it.

[@nickpaine]

Right. Everyone steals. Plagiarism is an homage to the originator. Every idea is built upon those.

[@DavidRussellM]

Good stuff, I appreciate you Bill!

[@TheycallmeMrWonka]

I definitely had the thought that Robin Williams wouldn't purposefully steal comedy (of course I can't know and only judge from what I see of the man). He loved comedy and took and interest in it, even outside his own performances he would watch other shows, that didn't mean he was TRYING to copy others but if you have the sort of brain that takes in all this stuff and if you watch him he goes a million miles an hour spewing it out, you're bound to repeat something you didn't even know you got from somewhere else. It's a shame really, as if he watches shows and did repeat something he'd be criticized for it but he'd need to give up watching comedy completely to avoid that. Sometimes we need to accept that human beings influence each other everyday and sometimes it's pure selfish behaviour and others it's just how our brains work and there is no purposeful bad intention behind it.

[@conchfritters01]

[@user-ik8ok9qh2u]

I do enjoy listening to two comedians chit chat for some reason. Moreso than any other profession, I don't know why. I love film, but I'd rather drink bleach then listen to two filmmakers talk, I love music, but two musicians talking is always unbearable. Something about comedians is more relatable.

"He wasn't my favorite comedian"- Nobody's favorite comedian.

Believe he merely said Robin wasn't his favorite comedian, not that he didn't care for him. Big difference. Not everyone has the same favorite anything, dude.

he said Robin is not his favourite comedian cause he knows he's not even near as good

[@Bill-cv1xu]

✋

[@mitchellhughes5180]

He definitely stole jokes which is more sad than disappointing because it suggests that he couldn’t think of any new material.

[@jmpmcv]

Maher is so stoned/drunk he can’t follow the dialogue. What a waste of our time.

[@john.john.johnny]

Billy boy thinks he's clever cuz he can rightfully make fun of the Christians (which needs to be done, so I applaud him) but he won't shut up when one of his guests are about to attempt to make a possible amusing point... Also he's like some terrible child that just does things that are illegal because he thinks it's cool or something because if you told him that oranges were illegal he would be having oranges during his podcast. People that smoke weed are usually horrible people whereas people that take opiates are usually not and I say this with confidence because one only needs to realize that opiate users are trying to get more in touch with themselves while weed smokers are trying to get away from themselves... the emergences from both will always illustrate the differences in the individuals. Hichens hated him... Sorry Billy But you got a trillion dollars now so just puff puff puff you poof lolll

[@albert_kempowillenborg1707]

Bill is stoned. Too stoned to even pay attention.

MAHER IS GONE

[@kuruman1]

I didn’t find Robin very funny. I think he was very smart and had moments, but most of the time he seemed to be begging for laughter and people gave it. Throwing out 800 esoteric references in a row is a unique talent all its own, but just not funny to me. There’s a video of him on a talk show with Stephen Fry where he just wouldn’t shut up, and I think his presence was a negative. None of this takes away from the fact that he seemed like a genuinely sweet person and I wish he was still here. It’s just about his place in comedy.

[@martyrivard3191]
