Wayne Brady: I want to slap the shit out of Bill Maher

[bigdarryl]

Come on Brady he's a fucking comedian

&feature=player_embedded#!

[NYC_SKP]

1. Well, Brady's a fucking comedian too, and he gives as good as he gets...

...actually, he gave a LOT better than he got!

But then I've never been a fan of Maher....

[dionysus]

4. maher is smart and when he's on, really funny. but he's also a douchebag. a big one.

[BlueCaliDem]

28. I agree, 100%, with you on that! eom

[Logical]

59. Wow, great explanation! n-t

[dionysus]

62. what are you going on about? i sense sarcasm. why i don't know.

[godai]

2. Maher gave $1M to Obama's SUPERPAC.

Seems like he struck a nerve with Brady.

[Capt. Obvious]

3. Is Wayne Brady gonna have to..

[The Magistrate]

29. Expect So, Captain....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. choke...... nt

[RZM]

39. DUZY!

[Initech]

41. White people like Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

[CreekDog]

51. I was trying to remember that Paul Mooney quote!

[Initech]

58. I always like this one as well:

I think it was the same sketch:

Q. Why is George Bush so certain that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?

A. Because he has the receipt.

[snooper2]

5. Who is this guy or this lady and what is he whiny about?

[Chorophyll]

6. Gonna have to be on Team Brady with this one.

Bill Maher is occasionally brilliant but when it comes to women -- and race, apparently -- he's a putz and should STFU.

[One of the 99]

8. Agreed. nt

[uponit7771]

12. I agree, on the other hand I think Maher WOULD change his reference if someone told him how

...stupid it is.

[Marr]

23. Yep, couldn't agree with him more.

I think that whole "uncle Tom" stereotype is incredibly destructive. You're telling young men in particular that they aren't 'real men' unless they take on a persona that's going to get them absolutely nowhere.

On an unrelated point, I think Aisha Tyler is one of the very few people who's actually been held back by her own good looks. I saw her doing stand-up comedy once, and she's really good. But somehow comics don't seem to click in quite the same way when they're ridiculously good-looking.

[Chorophyll]

38. About Aisha Tyler,

that's a very astute observation. I could probably do an entire post about male and female comics and how they look, and how those looks affect their comedy (for example, if you're fat, is it necessary for your comedy to be fat-based?) but it would probably turn into a multi-chapter treatise. And there's nothing funny about multi-chapter treatises.

/tangent

[CBGLuthier]

24. Yes, painful as it is, Wayne Brady is right.

[Logical]

60. Yes, anyone we disagree with should shut up! I agree! n-t

[Chorophyll]

63. Great! Glad to have you on board.

[MrDiaz]

7. if a

republican had said maher had said we would label him a racist... just saying.

[BlueCaliDem]

30. Well, that's because the majority of Republicans

are renowned racists - and they're proud of it. Not all of them, but MOST of them. It's the party where the KKK found a home after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, and where White Supremacists go to vote for SB1070 and their carbon copies, and it's chock-ful of Caucasians who LOVE social services, but who hate it when other ethnicities get them - they only have the obligation to pay for them, not receive them.

Just saying.

[MrDiaz]

35. I thought

stereotypes were bad in any form, or is it okay in certain situations? Must of missed the memo.

[MrDiaz]

33. yea

I forgot the word "what" in between said and maher.

[cpwm17]

43. It's an obvious typo

[HangOnKids]

46. The use of the phrase "had said" TWICE is NOT a typo

There is no need for the word HAD, the word said is enough.

[Drunken Irishman]

54. Bingo...

Maher can be perfectly spot on but he's absolutely wrong when he spews his bullshit about what a black president should really be.

[BanzaiBonnie]

9. Bless the ground you walk on bigdarryl for posting this

I've always found Maher obnoxious. I've been a Wayne Brady fan for quite some time, but now, thanks to this OP. I have seen the brilliance of Aisha Tyler.


Okay, I have to say it. I love Aisha Tyler. I had no idea before today that she is a comedian. Yes, I'm not that hip and a bit slow in catching on to some things.

With a hearty laugh and a twinkle in her eye, she's a blue streak talkin', funny as hell, cut to the quick, comedy genius. She has a podcast called Girl on Guy, to which I am now subscribed. Yes, I consider it my equivalent to the podcast that my DH regularly follows, Marc Maron's WTF.

Let the games begin!

[Chorophyll]

10. Aisha Tyler is all-around excellent. nt

[Romulox]

19. A goddess. nt

[MrScorpio]

11. Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a comedian? nt

[uponit7771]

13. +1! Loved that episode!!!!

[Doctor_J]

31. Now eat your sandwich, or we're gonna have a problem

[FrodosPet]

37. Oh s***, it's Wayne Brady!

[Doctor_J]

50. Here's the whole thing (video is inverted)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zkwTzy7T_Lw

I got my lines confused "Smoke this, or we're gonna have a problem"

[joeybee12]

14. Did Maher say something specific that got Wayne riled up?

Or was it his general comments about black people, etc...or an accumulation of them?

[raouldukelives]

15. Well I'm not familiar with Maher's sex life nor do I want to be.

I do know that the just about the only decent, honest and truthfully moderated debates I've seen on TV have been on his shows and for that and for paving the way for The Daily Show and Colbert, I applaud him.
Brady seemed to come off pretty harsh to me but I'm not a regular listener of his. Maher should invite him on the panel.

[Ian David]

57. I don't know why, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Bill Maher sex tape.

I just get the feeling that I would learn something new.

[Marrah_G]

16. I love Maher

[cpwm17]

17. Bill Maher is one of the worst bigots on TV

But the hypocrites love him since he attacks Republicans.

I despise Bill Maher, and shame on all who promote him.

[StarryNight]

36. hey, he's a "comedian" so he's allowed to say anything he wants and it's all good.

at least that's what a lot of people here say. as far as i'm concerned, neither comedians nor anybody else gets a free pass to say any ignorant, nasty, hateful thing they please and get away with it.

[loyalsister]

55. Thank you!!

I have heard him say a few things I agree with, but nowhere near enough to cancel out what he says about women and minorities.

[Romulox]

18. Wow. The Chappelle Show skit wasn't enough to exercise Wayne Brady's demons, apparently...

We get it, Wayne. You are an authentic black man. That doesn't have to mean being violent.

As always, I'd guess no one is as hard on Wayne Brady as Wayne Brady.

[BklnDem75]

21. If Maher kept invoking my name...

as an example of how blacks shouldn't act, I'd be pretty pissed off too. The Wayne Brady show ended in 2004. Maybe Bill should give it a rest.

[Romulox]

22. Have you seen the Chappelle's Show skit? "Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta choke..."

Wayne essentially created this meme (the "nerdy blackman"...hahaha isn't it funny, he's really gangster, like all "real" black men! ) himself.

It was one of the singularly most funny skits on the Chappelle Show.

[CBGLuthier]

25. Oh his demons get plenty of exercise, that i am sure of.

[Romulox]

27. I don't know precisely what you mean, but I like that turn of phrase! nt

[permatex]

20. Bill Maher

is usually spot on brilliant, but sometimes he is a real douchebag, and I can sympathize with Wayne Brady's reason for wanting to slap him.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. Can't say that I disagree.

I know some of you guys love Maher, and I have no idea as to where Wayne Brady is coming from, but the guy has to be the most slapworthy pompous ass regardless of his politics.

His slapworthyness is right up there with Sean Hannity, who I claim to be the most slapworthy person in the world.

[RZM]

40. I can see where Wayne is coming from here

Maher can and has made the same point about the president without using anybody's name. When you use somebody's name in an unflattering manner like that, they have every right to come back and give you some of the same.

[cbdo2007]

42. I'm just creeped out that Wayne Brady wears a thong

he showed it off one time on Whose Line Is It Anyway and it was a weird thing for him to be bragging about.

[Enrique]

44. im glad to see this

I thought that joke by Maher was highly racist, and I have seen comments with a similar racist theme including if I am not mistaken Michael Moore, unfortunately.

[mucifer]

45. I totally agree with Brady here. Also, on his show years ago, maher was very rude to Studs Terkel.

He made fun of him for being old and hard of hearing. I wanted to puke.

[MrSlayer]

48. I love Bill Maher but this is great.

Wayne Brady is the Sinbad of today, the "safe" black guy. Because a guy is nice doesn't mean he's a punk. I'd be pissed too if my name was considered synonymous with being a wuss by a guy whose ass I could kick up and down the street.

The hooker thing is something of a cheap shot but still funny.

You have to stand up for yourself.

[Blue_In_AK]

49. I don't even know who Wayne Brady is.

My first thought was "Brady Bunch."

[backscatter712]

52. Bill Maher's a professional asshole, what do you expect?

Granted, he's a professional asshole who's frequently an asshole towards Republicans and religious lunatics, which makes me laugh.

I, on the other hand, am only an amateur asshole.

[DirkGently]

53. Thhhhptt. Brady should be happy anyone knows who he is.

If he wanted to seriously address whether Mahr is being flip about perceptions of "black" personality, fine. But the violent fantasy / chest thumping just makes him look like an ass.

[Ian David]

56. I don't believe for a minute that Wayne Brady is really THAT mad at Bill Maher. n/t

[Logical]

61. Never heard of this guy. Is he a singer or something? Musician?
