As much as I love John Oliver's in depth journalistic segments, its great to see him just do some straight up hilarious comedy from time to time as well, without a larger (usually enraging) issue hanging over the segment's comedic lines.
A lot of the time, the two don't mix very well. He's very good at the journalistic rant, and he's also a funny comedian. In his segment on revenge porn, however, a lot of the jokes he'd inject completely took away from the enraging topic at hand. I get that it's a comedy show, but I don't think he's quite found his footing on balancing the comedy with the issues.
Eventually, probably, yeah. Thing is, you guys have signed on around and about year zero. Things are just starting and you guys have come along. It's pretty cool.

He is a pretty funny dude.

That head bob thing he does makes him look like an excited cockatoo.
God I love not having to use RES anymore. Snapzu is my new home page!
It really is better. Crazy that I didn't even know this existed a week ago.
Out of the frying pan and into the warmth
I do miss being able to expand an image or video directly from the front page.
Me too. Does anyone know if this feature is going to be implemented?
