Not even talking about his political stuff. He does talk a lot about non-partisan issues

But his jokes are just awful

I'm the opposite. A lot of his political stuff is incredibly bias (very leaning left), but his jokes tend to hit more than miss in my opinion. I only watch his segments when it's a non-partisan issue.

I haven't found him funny yet.


Oh wait, Trevor Noah is who I haven't laufhed at yet. I've laughed a couple of times a Oliver but most of his jokesdon't land for me. Whether because I don't get the reference or because I just don't find it funny.

He's better than Trevor Noah and his horrible Trump impression.

*John Oliver says something unfunny

*Audience laughs like they heard the funniest thing ever*

i work in an office where we repair laptops in a room with like 4-5 people next to each other, and most of the time we are listening to headphones

I was gonna try to get to know the guy to break the monotony of sitting there listening to podcasts/music for 8hrs a day, but I noticed about half of the times I look at his phone it is a John Oliver video, so I figure I'm better off NOT knowing him.

I like both John's political and non-political stuff. Just witty all around.

It's Noah's comedy that I'm usually not a fan of. (he sometimes stumbles into funny though) Smart guy (decent interviews) but too... Wholesome? PC? Trying too hard, but it's not working. (he is better than when he started, and it was bad)

Jon Stewart will always be king, but Oliver is the closest to approaching him.

I can agree with this.
Noah's style sucks because it's nowhere near as fluid as Oliver's or Stewart's, although it does lend itself to some hard-hitting punchlines like "People with a loose relationship with the truth don't belong in a voting booth, they belong on Fox News".
