John Oliver is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, I guess.
Like, an actual guilty pleasure.
Not like having a piece of chocolate after meals, but like, rawdogging strangers.
I enjoy it but know I shouldn't, and feel ashamed afterwards.
The jokes are old and stale, yet still make me laugh.
And he always talks about structural problems, yet fails to go deep enough to pin it all on capitalism, or even third way neoliberalism, and instead pulls out prematurely and offers some shitty ineffective "solution" at the end that obviously won't work because it relies on everyone in the world spending extra money, or politicians that listen to their constituents rather than corporate interests or something else equally unrealistic.
