Random: John Oliver Sketch Compares PS5 to a Penguin Designed by Apple

I already liked John Oliver, now even more so.

Paid advertising spot.

Word to live by

John Oliver makes Jamie Oliver look like a comedian.

Feels very forced, like all of John's "comedy".

@Mega-Gazz Definitely. Like when hosts such as Conan play videogames under the guise of just having a bit of fun, yet it's clearly a thinly-veiled ad.

I'll hide the "penguin designed by Apple" behind the TV for Horizon Forbidden West any day 😅

Aloy is the video game heroine that should be the benchmark other devs should strive for.

@nessisonett You just stick to your Mrs Brown's Boys and let the rest of us enjoy actual comedy.

Also a Liverpool FC supporter. A man of taste.

@FredBiletnikoff Mrs Brown’s Boys is *****.

Whos john oliver someone else spitting political b.s. ? And ohhhhh sooo woke

I saw that. The man's very forced humor is already extremely awkward without an audience to provide a laugh track, but that was just... so very hard to listen to. You couldn't get a more obvious advertisement for a product if you tried.

I'll give him credit, though: he's absolutely the most informative and least smarmy of America's liberal late night show hosts. One who actually does deep dives on important topics that people should be more informed about instead of whining about the president.

Definitely the most accomplished alumnus of Jon Stewart's iteration of The Daily Show.

I always like his pieces the same goes for Adam Ruins everything. 😆👍

nice to hear a comedian not just ramble on about the latest tweets they've read lol

@Ralizah Least smarmy? Who else do you lot have over there, Hugh Grant? 😂😂

Hehehe 😂

Preorder day is going to be freaking crazy man. So ready, already eBay’d my OG Switch and games, so ready for some next gen!

@nessisonett Compared to Jimmy Kimmel, Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, etc. John Oliver comes out looking pretty good. I guess Conan O'Brien is fine, but I've never known him to be a particularly politically involved comedian, so I don't count him. I guess Jimmy Fallon could be alright, but I forget about him almost as soon as I switch the channel, so I can't speak to his content either way.

So, yes, America's late night host situation is pretty dire. I really miss Jon Stewart.

@Ralizah Now that you mention it, it really is awful isn’t it. We don’t really get those shows over here except bloody James Corden‘s one which I’d also place on the smarmier side of the Arse-lick-ometer. Comedians are almost exclusively liberal in the UK to the point that there was that one guy who styled himself as a Conservative comedian and you could tell the other panellists could barely stick the guy. Jon Stewart at least had wit, something this lot clearly don’t understand. ‘Haha Trump looks silly’ just doesn’t really cut it as far as political satire goes.

Apparantly a "futuristic" penguin or wafflemaker, i'm told. /rolleyes

@nessisonett I actually liked Colbert when he was doing his fake conservative schtick on the Colbert Report. It at least required some small degree of wit to pull off. Now the mask is off and he just seems so... angry.

Everyone is angry atm, but there's something to be said about not contributing more pure bitterness to the national conversation. Granted, there are some great comedians who were also fairly angry with their humor (the late, great Bill Hicks comes to mind), but they were usually insightful with their anger.

RULE 10
It's removed.
