As much as I love this show, the fact that they tweet out some of the big jokes and cameos as they happen on Twitter is a bit annoying - I always forget they do that and ruin some of the things for me before it plays out.

That whole episode was brilliant. Using FRIENDS as Agit-prop was genius. Fortunately I hate Football so the World Cup doesn't confuse my feelings of loathing for FIFA. And Holy gently caress! Right Said Fred?

Jesus loving Christ, Oliver is going absolutely nuts with this new show, and it is beautiful. The only thing he honestly missed with the Fifa segment, as part of the whole religion analogy, is that it also raises the hopes of millions, dashes them repeatedly and with certainty, yet they'll still cash in on a blind hope that maybe this is their year. For England especially, its like some kind of trauma we're just not willing to address. And yet, we're still gonna be tuning in.

Haven't really watched the show until last night because of how late it's on. It's pretty drat good. I like the in depth segments over just showing clips followed by a shot of the host looking dumbfounded. I hope they do decide to extend it to be an hour long.

Honestly, he barely scratched the surface of all the poo poo FIFA's gotten up to and how horrible a person Sepp Blatter is, but hey, there's only so much time.

Just saw the FIFA and Right Said Fred bits on YouTube; this show is amazing. I'm really glad John takes on this kind of stuff. At this point I don't care how much an episode of GoT dissapoints the book purist in me, John Oliver makes it all go away.

Am I a bad person for finding the whole Right Said Fred thing kind of awkward and embarrassing and not as good as they expected it to be? Anyway, still loving the show but it really is making The Daily Show hard to watch in comparison. I'm still a week behind on J-Stew.

No. I thought it was great on paper, and a good ,laudable idea, but RSF doesn't really have any presence and the song itself sounded pretty bad, so... Also, I wonder what would happen if TDS STOPPED watching news channels and actually tried to do a news comedy show. A lot of the time I feel like with the Daily Show I'm watching one of those Youtube ' .* Reacts To ' videos. Drifter fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jun 10, 2014 |

Yeah, I cringed pretty hard as well, but then again, I always cringe pretty hard when you have lip-synching groups with fake instruments doing the circuit. What kinda redeemed it was the fact that they did, in fact, sing a comedy-rendition of their own song with some pretty hilarious lyrics and the whole background images. Great idea, the delivery was just...kinda off. At least by Last Week Tonight standards so far. To be fair, those standards are pretty far up.

Normally, on the Bugle, John would just do all the singing himself. That may have been a fine alternate option.
