Cute, but not hysterical.
Always liked this “Luke’s Change” spoof on a conspiracy video (Loose Change).
Glenn Beck is jealous that he didn’t discover this first.
Huh. Here I was thinking it would be the explanation of why the number of eggs in the little box went down from six to five last year (MAjOR uproar on this side of the pond). Or why the filling doesn’t completely fill the egg any more…
I had no idea there were blacker Cadbury egg conspiracies than those…
Oliver missed that conspiracy videos are usually presented at a fast pace by a male calm soothing voice, not in his paused, yelling, outraged mode.
It’s scary that you would actually know that.
Oh I dunno…watch Alex Jones when HE gets going…
There was no Sunday night episode, the show was on hiatus this week. They even said so in the first ten seconds of the video. This was a YouTube-only clip. Jeez do at least some minimal fact checking even on comedy stuff. Like watch the video at least. You made me go check and see if I missed an episode.
Edit: Oh hell I watched the video and this is crap. This is a good example of what is wrong with his show.
Jones does not do videos, he does podcasts and such. He does have some flunkie young bloke that I have seen in some videos, and the guy has that calm voice.
Jones will scream and rant about 9/11 conspiracies, but he always references videos by the Loose Change dicks, Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin, etc.
Oliver can be a bit too fanatical. He was great for short bits on Stewart’s show, but his show is no bargain as he is constantly in “fanatic” mode. I’ll watch it here and there and it has cute parts, but nothing that really gets you laughing hysterically.
Man, you’re a tough customer… John Oliver is awesome. Since Stewart left and Colbert took on a more tame role Oliver is one of the few voices of political reason left on TV.
Nooooooo. I love my Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. (Has to be real ones from the UK though, not the Hershey-produced licensed ones.)
Don’t be silly, everyone knows the Denver airport is a portal to Hell that sits on an Indian burial ground. The Illuminati designed JFK.
Still, I have to wonder…how does Oliver know what mermaid placenta covered in candle wax tastes like?

Who are you arguing with, concerning the web-exclusivity?

It was a good idea to parody conspiracy vids; they deserve it, and they are good comedy material.

It made me grin, so it worked for me. You need to pull the stick out, I think.
Yeah, he often goes on and on at length about stuff nobody in the US cares about, because his show is also broadcast in the UK. Cadbury creme eggs are a British thing, nobody in the US cares. Also nobody in the US cares about FIFA or Scottish independence or Grexit.
More scary that you wouldn’t. Just click on the 1st comment of this page.
Speak for yourself… I’m snarfing a Cadbury Creme Egg as we speak.
