The ducks judging the duck photos is obviously the best one.

I am glad someone with a platform finally pointed out the hypocrisy of cops who kill people for losing a game of Simon Says because “civilians don’t know what it’s like to not know if you’ll make it home” now screaming that it isn’t fair to force them to do something to save their own, and other’s, lives. No issue has ever made it more obvious that these people became police because it allowed them to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, with no consequences. Oliver’s right: if they want to quit, gently caress ‘em.

I remember watching the world billiards almost 20 years ago and wondering "What the gently caress is this Chinese Taipei bullshit?!" before looking up the whole One China Policy. Glad to see some light on it.

A big one they missed was "Darkened Skye" which was a 3rd person action adventure game for the Gamecube that was pretty standard fantasy except all your magic was powered by Skittles.

Have they always used a laugh track for the web exclusives? I noticed it on the last one, and I suppose it works for the format, but it just seems a little odd to me to even pretend to have a live audience for a short web thing during a hiatus.

Yeah what is the version of goonfaceblindness where I thought there was an audience there and I guess missed the joke that it was a laugh track? Also I, too, sometimes think about the strange hold Dan Brown had on culture in the post-9/11 world and it probably has something to do with people wanting big explanations to intractable problems and maybe it's a commentary that the answer is actually pretty simple.

Yeah that sounds pretty dumb. There very well may be an audience there, I just didn't think they would bother to bring people in for a 10 minute bit. I could definitely be wrong about the laugh track. The laughter just seemed pretty forced to me which made me question it.

John Oliver plainly stated that the audience was there for something else, and they were having to endure the Da Vinci routine unexpectedly. I took that to mean that the bit was recorded during the production of a regular episode. I mean, forget the "why would they use canned laughter" question; why would they open up the studio, get John all dressed and made-up, and go through all of the logistics of producing that 10 minutes of content unless they were already there? The subject was non-topica,l and he made no references to any current events (as far as I can recall), so that segment has probably been in the can for a month or two.

Yeah, those are 100% pre-recorded during regular taping runs. Look at all those names appearing in the credits, there's absolutely no chance they just brought the entire staff together during the break to record a 5-minute YouTube bit.

I don’t think I can watch this anymore. I’m as left-wing as they come but it’s getting more and more depressing every week. Still funny, but it’s harder to take the spoonful of sugar when the medicine is so disgusting. This last episode on unlawful convictions is just… harrowing.

Just think about how the state has executed innocent people and we can name at least one of them we know without a doubt didn't do it (and there are a bunch we can name where it's about 99.9 percent certain they didn't do it).
