...Bill Maher? He's a "clapter" commentator, he just says things and the people who agree clap and laugh. I don't know of any substantive contribution he's made, with the possible exception of "Religulous" (which I haven't seen, and therefore won't criticize).

Brian from Family Guy? Total pandering. Family Guy's whole schtick is "Haha, these people I disagree with are dumb" or "Hey, we're reasonable!" And that's it. Zero depth, zero substance, just surface-level assertions about how correct and intelligent Their People are, and how wrong and strange Other People are.

Agreed. I decided Religulous would be a waste of time based on several of Maher's ignorant remarks about history and religion. Who needs to be accurate when you can make people laugh...
