Bill Maher spoke about recent election campaigners debating who was garbage? and rounded his quips off with a stark warning about our addiction to plastics.
Maher points out with hilarity that the latest presidential election ended with the Garbage debate where Trumps insult comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, called to attention the floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean - I think its called Puerto Rico.
Liberals, according to Maher, jumped to call out the comics comment racist but then Maher moved away from the debate altogether.
He said: But heres the thing, there actually is an island of garbage in the ocean but the only person who mentioned it during the whole campaign was the insult comic?

Trumps insult comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, called to attention the floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean - but noted that a greater problem revolves around plastics
Maher mades a quip about Artificial Intelligence before stating that the ocean was actually the most important issue of our time.
The ocean. Its dying, were killing it and we cant live without it, he warned, adding that we might be able to clear our air pollution with advancing technology.
But the oceans? he asked while shaking his head, that is a whole other kettle of dead fish.
Maher pointed out that the island of garbage that politicians dare not speak its name is actually two islands.
Maher made the point that the worlds oceans are so full of plastic that people consume about a credit cards worth of plastic every week
Crews unload bags of plastic waste and garbage recovered from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch at the Port of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is now three times the size of France according to CNN, and the Western Garbage Patch near Japan.
Maher then continued to warn that it was also not an easy solution such as an army of volunteers to pick up your in-tact water bottles.
Truth is no one really knows how big the garbage patches are because most of it is under the surface, trillions of micro-particles from decades of discarded plastic, Maher said.
Yes, of all our addictions. Plastic. That is the one that is going to kill us, he warned.
Maher referenced The Graduates iconic scene where the character said that there was a great future in plastics.
Yeah, everybody laughed at that, he chuckled. But turned out that guy was right.
Plastic is in everything now. Our soil our food... our Kardashian. Its in all of us. Humans now consume the equivalent of a credit card of plastic every week.
Mahers focus on plastics was a refreshing choice of topic after focusing on politics for the last several months.
Plastic is in everything now. Our soil our food... our Kardashian. Its in all of us. Humans now consume the equivalent of a credit card of plastic every week,Maher said. Pictured, a beach in Tunisia
Shocking drone footage has laid bare the worlds biggest garbage dump from above - comprising 100,000 tonnes of rubbish. A whopping 80 percent of the rubbish is discarded fishing equipment from developed countries - mostly China, Korea, Japan and the US
Earlier in the show Maher delivered a blistering monologue explaining how the Democrats bungled the election and handed Trump a second term.
For months, Democrats have been saying, How is this even close? And theyre right, it wasnt. They could not conceive of a second Trump term, but they should have. When does America ever turn down seconds? the comedian said.
Maher surprised nobody when he said he did not vote for the winner, but put a positive spin on the results amid a liberal meltdown.
A lot of people are freaking out. You know what? I opened the window today, the sun was still shining, the birds were still singing, my gardener was packing for Mexico, thats the thing, he said.
Well see what the winners do, now that they won. Now they have reality they have to deal with, you know. Well see what they do, see if they live up to their word.
Trump says hes gonna deport 12 million people. How are you gonna get 12 million people back into Mexico? And today Trump said, Im way ahead of you. Why do you think I left so many holes in the wall?
The floating rubbish dump was first detected 1,900km west of California in 1997, and it has since sprawled across the ocean
The comic, who predicted Kamala Harris would win the election and has long roasted the Republican Party on his HBO show, had harsh words for his own side in his monologue Friday night
Mahers roundup was a lively send-up of both sides, a sharp contrast to many of the liberal late night hosts losing their minds over the election earlier this week.
The comic, who predicted Kamala Harris would win the election and has long roasted the Republican Party on his HBO show, had harsh words for his own side in his monologue Friday night.
My message to the losers: Losers look in the mirror! he said, noting that Trump run fairly easily.
He savaged a Democrat Party that has become representative of college educated elites and identity politics: Youre brats, and youre snobs, and people dont like that.
Maher promised, however, that were still gonna have fun! and got on with a set of monologue jokes.
We had an election... a lot of people are freaking. I opened the window today, the sun was still shining, the birds were still singing... my gardener was packing for Mexico.
He then cracked at liberals who didnt understand how Trump coul win: They could not conceive of a 2nd Trump term but they shouldve, when does America ever turn down seconds?
His biggest laugh came when he referenced Trumps attempt to hit at Harris lack of proof she ever worked at McDonalds
Referencing Trumps still-in-progress legal troubles over the last election: Trump won all seven swing states, Trump won so big, he called the Secretary of State in Georgia and asked him to *lose* 11,000 votes.
Trump has technically clinched six of the seven swing states but is favored to take Arizona when all is said and done.
He then made a racy joke about the infamous Access Hollywood tape: [Trump] did better in every demographic. He grabbed 52% of white women... he also got their vote.
Then Maher shot at left-wing press and sympathized with Trump voters: The liberal media, always more offended than the victim. Women are a little stronger than you think. Women are like, whatever, I dont have to f*** him, I just want bacon.
His biggest laugh came when he referenced Trumps attempt to hit at Harris lack of proof she ever worked at McDonalds.
At 10pm, Kamala called McDonalds to see if she could get her old job back, he joked.
He then went after his most recent favorite target, the far left, by noting Kamala is still polling very well with illegal immigrant inmates who want sex change operations.
This election has always been about how this countrys had enough of the anti-common sense, woke bulls***. Resoundingly, he added.
