Bill Maher Jokes That Queen Elizabeth’s Death Was a ‘Sad Day for Inbreeding’

Friday, September 9, 2022

Maher also suggests the era of great reverence for the monarchy might be over.

On Friday’s “Real Time,” Bill Maher had plenty of jokes about Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, who died Thursday at 96. And in addition to those (pretty funny) jokes, he also wondered if her death means the end of the deferential reverence British citizens have for her.

“You all know the big story. Sad day for inbreeding,” Maher joked as he pretended to bow his head in a show of respect. “Queen Elizabeth died at 96, they say the cause of death was Meghan Markle’s podcast.”

“I like the queen, I do. Her personal estate they say was almost half a billion dollars, used to be worth a billion. That’s what you get for listening to Matt Damon,” Maher continued, referring to Damon’s hilariously ill-timed Super Bowl ads for cryptocurrency brokers.

“The White House is saying for a long time they didn’t know if Biden was gonna go to the funeral. Finally said just a few hours ago he is. I was not in doubt. Biden? Funeral? It’s like when the dog hears your keys,” Maher added. “No, Biden sent his condolences to the people of England and said ‘if we can do anything, we’re here to be your friend.’ And Trump also sent condolences and said he could bury her in his golf course if they want.

“Condolences are coming in from all over, of course the British people, very upset. This is — Elton John is writing a new song, it’s called ‘Mustard in the Fridge.’ Well, he’s noting the fact that Diana was 36 and the Queen is almost 100, mustard in the fridge. Seems to me you lived your life like mustard in the fridge,” Maher said, parodying John’s song “Candle in the Wind,” originally about Marilyn Monroe and rewritten as a tribute to Princess Diana after her 1997 death.

“We’re all upset. I called Buckingham Palace to give my condolences, they said: ‘New Queen, who dis?” Maher cracked.

Later in the show during the panel guest portion, Maher revisited the topic. “I made lots of jokes about the Queen. I noticed, whenever if was a British person, even the ones you see who are kind of classic, Sharon Osborne was here once, Piers Morgan, Andrew Sullivan. The British people, it’s not funny. It’s like ‘nope, don’t call her the old bag.’ Whatever it’s like, ‘noooo.’ They really, even the ones who came to America, British people, they have a thing.

“My question is, is it just for this lady? I think it died with her. I think that reverence, I think she was the last one. And now, the monarchy, I’m not gonna say it’s going away, but I think that ‘no don’t say anything about her,’ I think that’s gonna go,” he said.

The truth is Americans fought a revolution against the British crown.

Although we believe that all human beings are worthy of respect, we do not think that any of them is born at a higher level than the rest.
Many of us believe you should only bow in subservience to God.

I find it strange that people from the UK think America has this special love or connection to the Royal family. They don't exist in our daily news or conversations, at least not since Diana was alive. We do enjoy gossip, though.

I do not wish ill-will toward the family. May Queen Elizabeth rest in peace.

I guess there will be coverage of the funeral and Charles' crowning. Then it will be like they never existed.

I do not wish ill-will toward the family, and may Queen Elizabeth rest in peace.

Good morning everyone!

I won’t lie. I laughed at the Bill Maher post. He should remember he got cancelled from network television for telling the truth about September 11…

Bill Maher

I posted that and I too was a little uncomfortable with some of his jokes; however, we have to remember he is an American political comedian.

Most Americans don't have the same love or interest for that matter for the queen and the royals as do the Britons, Canadians, and Australians.

Perhaps if he were British. most of you would be deeply offended by his jokes and that would be understandable.

But he's not, he's American.

That said, I personally think Bill Maher is spot on regarding his take on the queen and the people's reverence for only HER. Bill is brilliant in so many ways. He tells it like it is and I appreciate his take no prisoners approach to politics and life.

He's not always right, except most of the time.

Sadly, I think now that the queen has passed, the monarchy will never be the same ever again.

Some Americans think the Prince of Wales is the AntiChrist due to symbolism on the coat of arms and symbolism in the final book of the Christian Bible.

Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...

  I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing)   This is what I saw in the dream.   I SAW...   Alexandra Grant   is married. Not to Keanu Reeves.  T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the  East coast of America.  (Not New York City)   I Saw She was in a  very close relationship with this  "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character...   This person has been  "Away"  for quite a while...    (If you know what I mean)   This person is threatening to return..   She will...   To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors  they both had a part in.    As I write this.   Keanu Reeves & his team.  Do not know of this.    Alexandra,  knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away...   STAY TUNED...    MORE TO COME...  

Not a good sign... My constant dream last night...

 

Morning everyone...
