Anyone checking out John Oliver's Stuff?
Comedian John Oliver's been doing a show for HBO and I must say, it's probably one of the funnier things I've seen in a while.
Unfortunately, I only ever see the stuff he posts on YT, so I'm actually curious to see if anyone here's watched the full episodes on his HBO show?

So he seems to be like the American version of Russel Howard. I can understand it might be funny, but I am not American so I don't get it.

Been a fan of his for quite a while so its nice to see him get a break so to speak. Americans seem to rather like him too.
If you're a fan of this stuff check out the bugle - John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman's podcast, although it is on a bit of hiatus due to John Oliver being all famous at the minute.

Re: Anyone checking out John Oliver's Stuff?
My roommate pays for HBO (AKA Game of Thrones channel) and I've watched some of the shows. It's really good, I think, and with the Colbert Report going away, it's nice to have another news-y show besides the Daily Show that makes fun of stupid shit in politics, business and whatever else. Sucks that it's behind an HBO pay wall, but at least some of it is on Youtube.

Yes, it is a British accent, because it definitely isn't murican.

This is a worthy replacement for Colbert. No question about that.

i felt a little guilty about posting that without knowing for sure
Re: Anyone checking out John Oliver's Stuff?
Don't be, there are very few real British patriots who would get upset about one man being confused over an accent.

Patriotism is an infantile disease.

I don't want to go into Philosophy on this, there are many things you will say that I agree with but let us not flaunt our knowledge to show off.

I can't agree there. Pride is actually very important when it has a basis. It serves as a motivator and without it I think the most successful people simply wouldn't exist. that is to say you can't be successful without pride. By successful I mean world-class in your field, be that a sport, a academic discipline, making profit or whatever. The problem with patriotism is that it's baseless pride in something which you have no talent in. You're being born in Germany isn't any reason to feel proud about their victories in the world-cup anymore so than if England won the world cup, this is because pride is meant to spawn from personal achievement and in this case you've done jack-shit to help the German team win the world cup. If you were the manager of such a team however then that pride would be good because it would spur you on to greater feats and justifiably so! If you are happy and pride about doing nothing then all that will result is you doing absolutely nothing.
