I Increasingly Dislike John Oliver

I'm going to try to do a lot of John Oliver style jokes. I'm not as good at it as he is. Because I don't have 12 writers doing all the work for me. I'll try anyway.

John Oliver is a dishonest hack. Well, it's more his team. But he's the face. So, he is to blame.

I've been watching this guy for a long time. I continue to tune-in because he makes me laugh. However, he becomes more radical every second that goes by.

Wealthy leftists are completely out-of-touch with reality.

Check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hN3JKZ-Go

Knuckle tattoos are completely normal, and we shouldn't question it? No one in the history of ever has been tattooed with coded messages?

You know what happens when your a white dude that goes to prison? They force you to get them tattoos. 100% of which will be Nazi imagery disguised as random stuff.

Oh sure, all leftist media will defend an obvious gang member. That snuck into the country. In clear violation of laws. But we should feel bad about deporting him. NO.

"He has no criminal history" HE ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. This is why no one trusts the news. You endlessly lie to support your ideology. Anyone with an IQ over 12 can see it.

Then you put a crying woman on to defend him. Shut up. Tears mean nothing.

You really believe what you say? Show your face. Turning your back to the camera. So dishonest.

ICE asks you to step out of the car. You refuse. They break your window to arrest you. This is not abnormal. Do you actually think a car window will protect you from arrest?

Taking clips out of context to shame law enforcement is abnormal.

Trump has shown "Contempt for the law"?

Art thou serious?

John Oliver supports illegal immigration but hates anyone that enforces deportation. Mental gymnastics. It is YOU (and everyone with your opinions) that has no respect for the law.

"100 days" nonsense. What did Biden do in the first 100 days? Oh, right. Be a mindless puppet that signed a ton of executive orders (that were written for him) to reverse about half of Trump's.

And the leftist media? "BIDEN IS SO GREAT. HE IS PERFECT. NOTHING HE DOES IS WRONG. IT'S THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN. PLEASE IGNORE HIM DESTROYING THE ECONOMY AND BEING UNABLE TO CONSTRUCT A SIMPLE SENTENCE. IGNORE COCAINE FOUND IN THE WHITE HOUSE. NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT CAME FROM AND NO ONE IS TO BLAME. HATE TRUMP INSTEAD. HE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD."

John seriously argues that it is inappropriate to use laws to deport people.

Seems pretty simple. We deport people that sneak into the country. Why is this even an issue?! How can any rational person disagree?

Oh, yeah. He defends Palestine supporters. Because they totally haven't spent 50 years supporting terrorism. And we totally shouldn't be looking at people that make social media posts supporting that sort of thing.

FBI literally came to my house over internet posts. (Not joking. That really happened.) But John Oliver can actively support terrorism... and... nothing?

Meanwhile, Alex Jones gets his life destroyed. Because he exaggerated and lied about a thing.

John Oliver has repeatedly done similar. No lawsuit. He endlessly lies, exaggerates, and misconstrues evidence.

Don't believe me? Fact check everything he says. Nearly everything can be proven false. (Or a massive bending of the truth.) And he keeps getting worse as the years go by.

He uses a random Japanese dude that got deported for breaking a number of laws. Just to attack Trump. Trump has shown "contempt for the law"? Naw, that's you, buddy.

John continues to lie about migrant crime rates. It is a provable statistical reality.

Europe, Australia, and U.S. all have shown skyrocketing crime rates in relation to both legal and illegal immigration. Prior to this, it had been in rapid decline for about 20 years. Correlation isn't necessarily causation. But it's impossible to deny when it happens world-wide.

John Oliver literally is arguing against deporting people because "it's low hanging fruit". No. We deport people because they came illegally. There is nothing wrong with that.

I cannot fly to China, swim to Japan, and then expect to live on welfare and never be deported. This is what millions of Latinos and South American people have done to enter the U.S. for decades. (Maybe not swim, but you get my point.)

Oliver is against deporting people that get caught breaking the law. He acts as if this is some bizarre standard. It isn't. Go to any foreign country. Break their laws. Get deported. Ask Johnny Somali.

You can't go wherever and do whatever. It is the height of stupidity to enter the U.S. illegally, break the speed limit, get a ticket, and then be surprised when ICE shows up.

John says it's "racist... and cruel". No. The people of ICE are just doing their jobs. You are putting their lives in danger. By further manipulating anti-cop leftists to go to even more extremes. That's cruel. It's unethical. It's unfair.

We need a police force to eject people that come here illegally. It isn't cruel or racist. They knew the consequences of their actions, and they did it anyway.

John cherry-picks the rarest and most unusual example of deportation. That's a logical fallacy. Nearly all deportations are people that knowingly and willingly entered the country. They didn't just randomly teleport here.

We have laws about asylum. We have laws for refuges. Learn English and answer about 100 questions about the U.S. That's all it takes to enter legally.

He even tries to rationalize that the tattoos of a Venezuelan hair stylist weren't indicative of him being part of a gang. And maybe that was the case. But Oliver fails to prove that.

Literally everyone with a tattoo is a demented masochist. What normal person would submit to the pain and permanency?

Oliver continues to be dishonest about gang signs. He uses Fergie, Rhianna and Bush to "prove" some dude didn't deserve to be deported. Except that NONE of them are doing the same symbol. They are doing devil horns. So basically John is supporting Satanism.

He literally argues against aliens having the proper papers. I have to show my ID to any cop that asks for it. But John Oliver thinks this is ridiculous and oppressive.

He goes on to defend a judge that broke the law to shield an illegal immigrant from deportation. Which she got arrested for. How can anyone think that is a position that makes sense? Sorry, no. Only the most extreme leftists will agree. Everyone else has a brain. It is 100% unacceptable for a judge (whose job is to uphold the law) to violate the law. Based on their personal opinions. They deserve the harshest and most severe punishment. We cannot allow judges to act that way.

And then he (again) cherry picks a single case of an ICE raid gone wrong. Because the illegal immigrant, which was being illegally hidden, didn't happen to be there at the time.

Then didn't happen to get them. But they weren't wrong to try.

He even supports the Democrats that went to other countries. That violated a number of laws. To argue for the release of illegal immigrants back to the U.S.

These people are supposed to be law-makers. Not criminal law-breakers. That try to free those that violate the laws.

Why aren't people voting for Democrats? Why do leftist-influenced shows and movies lose money? DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Do the right thing John. You don't represent popular opinions. Just stop.

I only read the first few paragraphs.

That was one bad rant.

A shorter more clear version is all talk show hosts have giant staffs. Nobody is capable of just riffing it for long periods- and the entire late night talk show model is in trouble.

The market is divided and they cost a lot of money to produce- hence they all are in trouble. Steven Colbert was the first to go- and many will attempt to make hay of the politics when that is not the case.

The whole business model is in trouble.

There. That is the point- minus the long rant.

his community portrayal is honest, and confronted with this he'll double down.

it's because, ironically, this is how he portrays himself; but is not the real content of his character.

it's like honey; he's a beautiful beehive of wax and comb, and he squeezes this down to get you the 'juice of sardony.' which is an obtuse and vague reference to people filling their ass with honey so that rimming is more pleasant, and occasionally they have an emotional moment and it drips.

literally this is the joke he submitted when he gave the speech I was referencing earlier in my post. knowing full well you cannot describe ass-honey play on air, and displaying humility in saying he's too ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up to write his speech himself and needs the writers to decide for him. as is the custom.

I'm aware of this cultural practice because I was one of the onion's byline leads in another timeline, and they'd give us tickets to these shows in lieu of overtime pay. vip stuff, chatting up the daily showers as a fellow humorist; the onion was a pretty big name once upon a time. the staff constantly thought the producer was sending us there to impose our rep over them and berate them, rather than an elaborate plot to just not pay us for our labor while simultaneously writing off our tickets as a tax benefit for both productions.

I like how OP makes a case for knuckle tattoos being bad. I guess Ozzy was in the cartel too, now.

Apollo702 Aug 7 @ 10:35pm

Again, a short version is for a long time there were 3 major networks and no internet.

For decades, Johnny Carson had a near monopoly and could pull in much of the nation. Simple.

But now, the shows still take vast staffs and lots of costs to produce and there are waves of them and none can pull in the same unified audience.

Someone like Joe Rogan can produce a show with only a few people. That business model is simply vastly more profitable.

Stop focusing on the petty things like the individuals. The business model is the story.

Watch Gutfeld for a week.

yeah becuase you only have to pay off a few people to make them succ.

Oliver got his start on a fake news comedy show. Seems like he's still doing it.

You really gotta watch the video referenced. It was nearly 26 minutes of arguing that deporting ANYONE is racism.

His show is supposed to be comedy. Not telling me what to believe in.

Watch his video. THEN read my post. I destroy every point he makes. The post is long not because it's a "rant". But because JOHN spends 25 minutes trying to convince you that illegal immigration is acceptable. That anyone that opposes it are xenophobic racists.

It's not comedy. It's nothing but propaganda.
