Ahahaha, I was just watching the Daily Show last week, and they had a T-Shirt cannon, and I thought 'oh man, it happens after John Oliver left! '

I know I'm a child but the bugle bits I always find the funniest are the Belgian/waffle bits. It's funny every drat time.

Is the show taking a two week break along with Colbert and The Daily Show?

I mean obviously it would have been framed better here, but it's kind of a sore spot for me. Also Pepe Julian is the loving best.

The humour in this show would be a lot better if Oliver just told the jokes and moved on sometimes instead of trying to do an impression of whatever it is he's joking about. An example from this episode would be the bit about the coffee machines. It was a cute line, but then he follows it up by trying to do an impression of someone trying to use one and it kinda ruins it. Plus those are usually the most shouty bits.

The funny thing is, earlier this week I attended by sister's leaver's mass (Catholic secondary school, its a thing they do), and the presiding priest was from Uganda, specifically because of how his church is twinned with our local one. He's been in the country a few times before, with the last time I saw him personally being at Christmas mass last year. He has an unfortunate tendency to... rant, with long, overly drawn out speeches when he's not sticking to the actual parts of the ceremony, particularly with regards to the role of women in society. Now I realise its not immediately relatable with the issues faced by the LGBT community over there, but listening to him speak, and trying to think of what context his words could particularly make sense in whilst sounding so earnest and progressive (whereas in stopping to think about what he was saying, every part of my family felt more than a little put off), you start to get a picture of just how messed up things can be over there. Like, here we'll point out that a woman should be and is free to wear whatever she feels like so long as it doesn't violate public indecency laws, because yeah, she's her own person and has the right to freely choose her attire, with anyone who then claims they were 'asking for it' in the event of an assault being kind of an rear end in a top hat. But from the way the priest put it, a woman in Uganda has to be extremely considerate of how she dresses because it has a significant chance of keeping her safe - for context, just before he'd gone on the bit about women in the leaver's mass, he had devoted a good chunk of his segment on men to being about good self-restraint. And that's just dealing with gender equality, let alone gay and transsexual rights. And of course I'm seeing all this as a British person, so yeah, legacy of responsibility and all that.

He seems to play that up on TV or for American audiences, I'm not sure which, since on the Bugle he's a lot more restrained and tends to lean on brutal sarcasm than outright shouting to hammer home a point.

I think the interview bits are my least favorite part of the show. They take up a good block of time and I don't feel like what you see on the show is ever more interesting than the fact that they are doing the interview at all. "Oh neat they are interviewing that person." Until they get more time or an extra show per week I think I would prefer them just telling you about the interview that you can watch online.

I really enjoy the interviews, myself, but I agree that they should give John the time to air them properly. Definitely seems lovely when one of the most outspoken LGBT rights activists in a place where they have basically none has the meat of their interview shifted to a web exclusive.
