Yeah, the coal mining segment was a good one. That Murray guy's earned an eternal session with a perpetual motion nut kicking machine when he gets to hell. Hope I don't get sued for saying that. I guess I'll have to settle for him being a running gag on Oliver's show for the foreseeable future.Last week's show was really really good. His bit on the coal mining company was brilliantly funny. And they are in fact suing him and HBO now. Which is just awesome. In a purely entertainment sort of way.
Seems suing them would if anything be the worst thing they could do. Gain more exposure on this? Don't get it.Last week's show was really really good.

Pretty damn impressive with the shout out to @NutterButter too.Last week's show was really really good. His bit on the coal mining company was brilliantly funny. And they are in fact suing him and HBO now. Which is just awesome. In a purely entertainment sort of way.
When you threaten someone, you can't back down if they ignore you or no one will ever believe your threats.Seems suing them would if anything be the worst thing they could do. Gain more exposure on this? Don't get it.
Well, he is of British origin.This guy annoys me. He comes off as a smug #####.
Oliver or the ####### CEO of Murray Energy?This guy annoys me. He comes off as a smug #####.
I'm generally open minded in most situations. This is one where I can't be. The guy was born in another country and comes to America to #### all over the way we do business. It just rubs me the wrong way. Like someone marrying into the family and then complaining about family traditions.I disagree with your assertion.
So I shouldn't criticize my in-laws' stupid traditions?I'm generally open minded in most situations. This is one where I can't be.

If your family traditions suck as bad as some of ours do, I'm all for it.I'm generally open minded in most situations. This is one where I can't be.

Go for it. Just don't get upset when the inlaws call you a smug #####.So I shouldn't criticize my in-laws' stupid traditions?
If you've watched John Oliver for more than 10 minutes you've probably seen that he is constantly poking fun at the way the British do things. You don't need to be born here to call bull#### on various topics.Go for it. Just don't get upset when the inlaws call you a smug #####.
I only watch youtube segments of the guy. I just don't care for him. I feel like his calling of bull#### is slanted to the left though.If you've watched John Oliver for more than 10 minutes you've probably seen that he is constantly poking fun at the way the British do things.

That, sir, is a ####### great post.If you've watched John Oliver for more than 10 minutes you've probably seen that he is constantly poking fun at the way the British do things.

He must be doing something right.This guy annoys me. He comes off as a smug #####.
I suspect this stems more from how far right your starting point is, but I'm not positiveI only watch youtube segments of the guy. I just don't care for him. I feel like his calling of bull#### is slanted to the left though.
I think I'm middle right or right wing leftist (if thats a thing). I believe in our military, guns, and keeping what you earn. I'm against abortion, welfare, and handouts. so it is what it is. I've sided more with the right recently because I think Hilary is the worse candidate to ever run. Somehow the Left disagrees with it.I suspect this stems more from how far right your starting point is, but I'm not positive
His post makes him to be pretty far right.The Commish said:how far right your starting point is,
I don't want to sidetrack this, but I'd like to hear you break this down further. you know... for my self awareness...His post makes him to be pretty far right.
I'm no Trump fan but I agree a little. He's at his best hitting the topics few people talk about and I'm just tired of all things Trump.I feel like the show has gone down hill now that it has seemingly become just a weekly rant on Trump.
My feelings exactly. And he takes shots against trump voters. It just mean at this point.I feel like the show has gone down hill now that it has seemingly become just a weekly rant on Trump.
I think Oliver would agree with this and he said something like it in the show when he had to do the long-form piece on the TSA in like five minutes. It's just that every week there's some jaw-dropping #### happening with Trump and he can't just not mention it.I'm no Trump fan but I agree a little.

There is nothing at all centrist or slightly left leaning in that post. What point were you trying to make again?Max Power said:I think I'm middle right or right wing leftist (if thats a thing).

Just hating on a Brit who hates on middle America.There is nothing at all centrist or slightly left leaning in that post. What point were you trying to make again?
I don't think I've ever seen a spot of his (even back to the Daily Show days) where he used this broad of a brush. He's very specific on those he's calling out all the time.Just hating on a Brit who hates on middle America.
This. Sooooo many people are trying to take clever little shots at Trump and it just comes off lame. Just mountains of bad and obvious jokes on social media and late night tv.I think it's hard to be "funny" about Trump because Trump is so ridiculous he resists parody.

Well said. I agree his delivery isn't for everyone. I am a big fan but can understand how the cursing and pop culture references and various asides won't be for everyone's tastes.I can see his delivery turning off some folks. I tend to curse a lot, but I've found his over the top cursing annoying and even uncomfortable at times. With that said, his mix of being informative and down right funny is fantastic. I've learned and laughed a lot from his short segments quite a bit. Big fan.
The content is great, but his delivery gets tired. How many times can he say, "Look, the point is..." in a 5 minute segment? His jokes often come off as a bit too scripted, trying to hard. That said, he's still must-watch for me every week.I can see his delivery turning off some folks.

Deservedly so.My feelings exactly. And he takes shots against trump voters. It just mean at this point.
