Babe wake up, the New Episode of Reciting major systemic Problems with the cadence of a joke with John Oliver just dropped on Youtube
-
John baiting them to file a defamation suit so they can be exposed is one of the most adult and moral forms of trolling I’ve ever seen
-
I love how they say "We do comedy, not journalism." then proceed to do better journalism and research than almost all of the mass media combined.
-
This dude just called out a shady company, the state of Alabama and the Federal government making us laugh the entire time. John Oliver impresses the shit out of me!
-
John Oliver once again making sure HBO's lawyers are never bored EDIT wtf is happening in these replies lmao
-
We all love John but shout out to the journalists, writers, lawyers, and crew that make this epic show possible
-
I dont know why but when John Oliver says "holy s**t", it's one of his funniest phrases
-
“ It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” -Voltaire
-
"i think we all agree that the most important thing we do here is stir shit up" that became my favorite quote he's ever said
-
The fact that a comedy show has a level of journalism to potentially have figured out who supplies their government with execution drugs makes me both impressed with John's team as well as laugh at the rest of modern media's frequent mistakes

In 2021, an inept veterinarian straight up gave my cat the wrong medicine for treatable viral pneumonia, causing his lungs to fill with fluid. It took him 40 minutes to drown in my arms. There was NOTHING we could do. It was the most painfully excruciating, terrifying and barbaric thing I’ve ever lived through. And that was my CAT. I cannot even imagine giving this fate to ANY human being, regardless of crimes. 3 years later, and I’m still very raw over the experience.

Stumbled across John Oliver about two weeks ago and my god his show is my favorite thing to watch on Earth now. I have been binging them all constantly. Can’t get enough. Brilliant blend of comedy, politics, and current events.

For the record, "pressed with weights" actually refers to one specific person, Giles Corey, who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials for refusing to testify against his family. His last words were "More weight."
-
The problem with discussing the death penalty in America is that you're trying to discuss it from the perspective of wanting justice. Most people don't agree with the death penalty because they want justice, they agree with it because they want vengeance, and they don't understand the difference.
-
If you have to lie and hide information about a state-sanctioned punishment, then something is wrong with that punishment.
-
I was very impressed that John managed to suck just the right amount of helium both times to have a high voice just for his insult, and then have his normal voice back. I can't imagine how much rehearsal that must've taken
-
John Oliver looking at a plate of wet chicken bits and thinking it looks appetizing is arguably the most British thing he's ever said on American television
-
Can we talk about how crazy it is that MOST US States allow the death penalty, while only 9 allow medical euthanasia?
-
John yelling at people about how their idiots on helium is perhaps he's greatest comedic moment... The people want more of that John!
-
THIS is journalism. Thank you!
