john oliver's analogy jokes where he's like "that's like if my balls were secretly neo nazis" and then does the thing where he addresses the thing in the analogy "no, balls, neo nazis are bad!" are kind of predictable. but other jokes on the show are good and he talks about Important Things.

the snowden ep was really loving good.

I think it's okay to make fun of a comedian's dumb mannerisms while still thinking they're good

they're comedians, they can take it

Did anyone anywhere give a poo poo about him before he was on The Daily Show?

(Assume this is John Oliver being sarcastic if he was actually popular somewhere before-hand.)
