Did nobody watch this week's episode?

I thought it was pretty amazing. The "Cruz Insults" fishbowl was gold.

Also, after watching Last Week Tonight, I'm finding Sam's delivery to be much better. Emote, John Oliver! You can show some emotion!

I think you may be expecting a bit much from the english.

Though this weeks ep on the brexit should have him proper well steaming.

John Oliver is angry all the time. It's just that his way of expressing anger is a "Can you believe it?!" whereas Sam's is "gently caress YOU!"

I like when they air for that reason. Oliver is on Sunday, when I'm relaxed so I can go "I learned something today!" Then Bee is on Monday after a lovely day of work so I can join her in screaming gently caress THE WORLD.

Its cathartic.

I could do without the dodgy bus "sketches". I'm assuming and hoping that's what they cut out of the clips.

But man, interviews with casual Trump supporters are literally terrifying. It's easy to write off the super passionate loons who hold signs at rallies, but the people just in their own element, living and working and casually hating their own gender? That poo poo is chilling.

Same type of scummy rear end in a top hat ripped off my grandmother with Alzheimer's with phony mortgage adjustment advice/paperwork. I can't even begin to imagine what type of hosed up poo poo you have going on in your head to think something like that is an okay way to make a living.

I happen to have a voter registration form right here (recent change of address) and nowhere on it does it require a social, so why do you want one?

Is it because they don't have a drivers license? Why would you require their SSN? I would never give out mine to some random person on the sidewalk.

The Florida form asks for your DL number, FL ID number, last 4 of Social, or you can check a box that says you have none of those.

Any form asking for your full Social is bullshit.

I already liked this show an extra bit thanks to its Doctor Who reference joke some episodes back, but that reference to Stranger Things in this one made my adoration of Full Frontal skyrocket. "Send [Donald Trump] back to the Upside Down," should be a bumper sticker.

Consistently appalled by the lack of attention this show gets. (Especially when I'm trying to figure out WHEN it's even on - the scheduling has been my biggest problem with the show.)

Regardless of her ardent pro-Hillary bent, you have to admit that of all the political comedy shows, Sam's just has the best gags. Plus that part where the woman asked the Trump supporter "what IS his plan?" and her eyes rolled into the back of her skull and she froze like a computer encountering an error for like a full twenty seconds.

Hmm fitting username. I agree, the way I see it is that the old Jon Stewart Daily Show got broken up with each of his heirs taking one important part with them. If Oliver got ownership of the heartfelt angry segments Sam absolutely took the fantastic correspondent/man on the street facing insanity stuff with her.

That's nothing new for a late night program though.

With DVRs, the internet, show tracking apps, on screen guides, on demand, and YouTube; complaints about not being able to follow shows ring a bit hollow.

Try going back 25 years and tracking when a first run syndicated show is on and new if you want real frustration.

Her slam on Paul Ryan was amazing. Also, the time spent on Trump trying to trot out Bill's dirt describes why it doesn't work perfectly.
