View Full Version : John Oliver's brand of comedy is so cringe I had to make a thread about it.

First of all, happy Thanksgiving. Except for you woketards who hate America.

Randomly caught this extremely awful joke from Oliver's show and I thought it was really indicative of the state of comedy and also the state of left wing "resistance" comedy.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ9PKQbkJv8

The joke comes at the 3:40 mark.

To summarize, Oliver is responding to those in Hollywood who've been penning open letters and demanding that the Israeli hostages need to be freed. He's basically saying that everyone already feels this way about the hostages, and that the sentiment is so obviously shared it doesn't need to be said in the first place.

Saying "Israeli hostages need to be freed" is like saying "Pie is good" he says. It's like saying "Rainbows are beautiful" he says.

But then he compares saying "Israeli hostages need to be freed" with.... "Yoshi is amazing in the sack."

Yes, that Yoshi. From the Mario games.

I repeat. Saying "Israeli hostages need to be freed"... is like saying "Yoshi is amazing in the sack." Accompanied by a picture of Yoshi with his tongue out.

And as if this joke couldn't get any more weird or more cringe, John Oliver and his team of writers actually further explain the meaning of the joke by pointing out the size of his tongue. You know just in case their genius writing went over our heads.

This is not just some indie comic in his basement with a youtube channel. Oliver is one of the leading voices when it comes to left wing commentary and left wing comedy. His show is well funded and mass distributed. Hollywood has given it multiple emmy's.

And yet the show is written by literal children with the emotional maturity of an edgelord teenager. These are the so called voices leading the way when it comes to the "resistance". Someone in that writers room came up with that joke, and then someone else green-lit it.

Saying "Israel needs to be freed" is like saying "Yoshi is amazing in the sack"

You could make the case that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were mildly funny, even if you can't stand their politics or their agenda. Funny in the sense that they have good comedic timing and know how to deliver a joke.

Nobody else from that Daily Show era has ever been funny. John Oliver? Not funny. Samantha Bee? Not funny. Larry Wilmore? PAINFULLY unfunny. I blame these people, mainly Stewart because he spawned them all, for shaping the current generation of woke leftists.

I will say though that if Oliver goes down in history for anything, it will be this:

An all time classic moment that will outlive us all.
