They didn't go into this, probably 'cause no one watching would get the joke, but that sleazy rockstar finance minister used to work for Valve, and is probably instrumental in the rise of the hat trade and the current crazy state of the Steam marketplace. Figures he would be in charge of saving the European economy.

Patent law just seems like an endlessly arcane purgatory pit that we will never be able to properly crawl out of.

That mascot explosion clip makes me anxious whenever I see it. It just seems to be violating so many safety regulations.

I'll have subtitles on literally anything that isn't animated. When you're not a native speaker it becomes really apparent how bad audio mixing is in most media. People are complaining about this stuff in the True Detective thread for instance. If you're used to subtitles you'll never even notice their presence and they arguably allow me to focus more on the movie because otherwise I'd be too preoccupied trying to hear what people are saying. Subtitles rule.

Oh yeah, most translated subs are awful, I primarily use closed captioning

Y-Hat posted:It was more like straight garbage. I tried to soldier through it because mental illness and disability are two of the most horrifically misunderstood things in American society. Yes, of course it's American society, it's a Last Week Tonight main story- granted, last week's was about Europe and it still sucked for reasons that I'm about to get into. I agree with you, maybe in less harsh terms. I don't think John Oliver is very funny (drink every time he repeats a joke in a louder tone after he just said it), main reason I watch the show is because he tends to highlight issues that you don't see highlighted anywhere else. But I often get kind of a nihilistic "everything is hosed and there's nothing you can do about it, I'm just telling you how things are" tone from his stories, which isn't always super enlightening, and definitely crosses into being too preachy even if I agree with him. Either way I'm glad he's only doing one show a week, I don't think I could stomach more.

I'm Danish and I was initially annoyed with how poorly he represented that zoo story but the video was funny as gently caress so I ain't mad. I live in Odense and I should've gone to see that drat autopsy, I could've been in the background of that footage! Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Oct 19, 2015 |

IRQ posted:Yeah.... why are y'all killing healthy animals though, or was that bit not fully true? No, it's true, but it was a case of overpopulation and danger of inbreeding. The zoo tried to reach out to their international partners and associations and when no one would take the animals, what choice do they have? They can't put them back into the wild just like that. It's still lovely as gently caress but they for sure didn't want to do it and so they decided to make use of them for a scientific purpose instead. I haven't done any research but I would assume a lot of animals are euthanized like that across the globe.

That segment was the first time I ever heard of the Daily Show. It's depressing that the divide between left and right is even greater now than it was back then.

SlothfulCobra posted:I never gave Trevor Noah much of a chance, because before he somehow got the Daily Show, I was already familiar with him from a number of English panel shows, where he was a fine person, just not particularly funny at all. So it's not like he'd add much to this show I'd already fallen away from. LWT is also not particularly funny and I feel like the show would honestly benefit a lot from dialing it back.

The whole crux of his argument was like "man this situation is hosed CAN YOU BELIEVE America had nothing to do with it, wow that's unbelievable but it's true"

"We made jokes that were very in the style of every other joke we do on the show and you didn't notice ha ha we got you" Honestly can we drop the lovely comedy and just make it a completely dry exploration of problems in America
