I'm not a fan of his style of comedy but I do enjoy reading criticism of him when a new segment goes up because it's an insight into how anti-fact retards operate.

They never, ever counter his points with evidence contradicting his claims or proving him wrong. They call him ugly, or a libtard, or make fun of numales, cucks, scream the CURRENT YEAR meme as if it's something he actually frequently says, etc.

If the points he makes are wrong, I want to know about it. But what's convinced me that he's right most of the time is everyone's complete failure to show that he's wrong and instead just shitpost tired memes.

>in b4 "we don't post counterpoints because it's obvious he's wrong anyway because he's a libtard!!!"

Seriously, go through any Oliver thread and see just how many people are spamming "punchable face" rather than even slightly attempting to prove his arguments wrong.

I tend to agree with him most of the time, but his show is... weird.

I like discussions of serious topics and I like goofy humor - when they are kept separate. Watching his show is like washing down a savory steak with chocolate milk - some things don't mix well.

This. The fact that it's 2017 and white people still exist... ugh

>>80247664

Nah, it's just that his style of comedy is very hit and miss, and honestly shows no signs of being refined since the mid-2000s, in that way it's very dated.
Example, lots of buildup for a punchline that isn't worth the build-up, tarrying on subjects for too long without expanding on them sufficiently and so instead just comes across as milking it dry.

With this in mind, the /pol/tards do have an occasionally valid point. Oliver is excessively vain. He knows his audience is mostly liberal and often lacks the discipline to create a tight, well-paced program (Stewart was great at this, and Conan is the goat.) This tends to push Oliver to meander and posture for claps and karma points at the expense of the program.

This 'putting himself first' mentality extends to his non-partisan segments as well.

For example, his Dalai Lama episode is 90% clap-baiting for the fact that he actually went to India OMG, and filler, with only 10% of the actual segment being worth the trip.

>>80248018

Partisanship bringing down the quality of his show is a valid concern though. Look at his coverage of the Scotland referendum vs. the Brexit referendum.

In the former case, it's a smooth ride of banter that points out the hilarious aspects of both sides well while establishing context.

In contrast, his Brexit coverage was essentially a short, humorous build-up followed by 'NO DON'T LEAVE PLS IT'LL START WW3.'

It's jarring, out of character, and completely suspends disbelief that you're watching a comedy show and not a sermon on what to think.

t./pol/
>>
>>80247664
He's not stupid and occasionally makes some astute remarks, but his brand of satire is so painfully ineffective it begs the question what his worth actually is. What good is satire if its only use in the 21st century is to pander to the echo chambers of guffawing, self-righteous champagne socialists?

Can they have alternative views to these people or are they just looking for someone to tell them how and what to think?

It seems like its all this every year, wow this mildly clever British guy told me this is true, I now guess it is! Thinking sucks.

Meh. I am just ranting. I don't know anon, if you ever try to post a video with facts to refute I think we would but this tone of "this guy is always right has never been wrong, never been refuted and you are all fucking retards for disagreeing" is just this behavior I have been listing.

I like his deep dives on certain subjects. The payday loans industry and special districts bits, for example. But, his Drumpf but has gotten old. Really old, and it isn't entirely his fault. He's one more holier than thou comedian using his show to say Trump and supporters are idiots in long form, episode after episode. If I had one major criticism of him it is that he's better than marching lockstep with every other late night comedian.

Oliver wanted to do his own hit piece on Trump... The most he could come up with was that Trumps ancestors changed their name from Drumpf to Trump at Ellis Island like thousands of other immigrants. He then forced the Drumpf meme. It is still used as bait to this day.

He's pretty obnoxious, but it's not necessarily /tv/. The reasons for hating him stem from mistaking him for a leftist when he's just a liberal, to his condescension.

he never gives the full story and when he does it plays into his liberal bullshit. remember when he covered the DNC scandal? yeah me neither. he takes subjects covered by other real journalists, throws together a few videos and passes it off like he's the first one to talk about it. if he's not benefitting from the work of other people he's making dumb trump jokes that are an easy win with his audience.
>>
>>80248288
because his writing team is smart and know that by using the research done by other actual established journalists or commentators they can't be "blown out" because all they're doing is repeating the same verified shit that everyone else has said. instead, he can be blown out by revealing that he's a hack and never gives you the full situation, only his interpretation/what he wants you to hear. he glazed over Hillary's corruption to satisfy right wingers but spent hours on things that trump did that really pale in comparison to Hillary's corruption.

his smug attitude is one of the many reasons trump won, because instead of giving you the full view, he gives HIS view, with Michael Moore esque editing and tries to pass it off as the smart view. watching his show and claiming you're informed is the same as saying "I watch and read info wars and that makes me informed"
>>
