But I had a book a New Rules book out about 15 years ago, and the subtitle was a polite musings from a timid observer, which I thought was hysterically funny, but every disc jockey in America did not get it.
Why people recommend it
New Rules by Bill Maher is a collection of humorous editorials and cultural observations that poke fun at modern absurdities and political discourse. Bill Maher discussed the book on The Megyn Kelly Show, where he highlighted several funny essays concerning time and the peculiar notion held by some woke individuals that people living five hundred years ago should have known better. Maher also reflected on a previous New Rules book he released around fifteen years prior, noting its humorous subtitle, Polite Musings from a Timid Observer. He remarked that while he thought the subtitle was hysterically funny, many disc jockeys across America completely missed the joke. During the conversation, Megyn Kelly joined in to praise the cleverness of the title, mentioning that it was designed to mock clickbait culture. She noted that while she understood the joke immediately, many other people had failed to grasp the humor of his book titles over the years. The discussion underscored Maher's trademark comedic approach to addressing societal trends, media tropes, and contemporary political correctness through sharp satire and memorable essays.
