Did HBO actually listen? It's no longer recommending Maher after LWT for me.

Does it pin on with a tack?

lol. Okay, I finally have to mention this. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE makes jokes about sexualizing animals

I noticed the trend a while ago, but as it appears more frequently, I’m like… “brother in christ?”

I do enjoy a lot of the recurring jokes on the show, but some of them recur nearly every episode- and are weirdly repetitive, if you really break down the joke. For instance, when John talks about Adam Driver for a whole season, the wording changes, but the punchline-less joke is that he is sexually attracted to Adam Driver. It is kinda funny, but it’s also kinda unclear- is John Oliver actually gay and sexualizing Adam Driver every week? Or Is he just making an absurdist joke?

It’s similar with all of John Oliver’s bestiality jokes. Those jokes in particular don’t really jump out as the funniest part of the show. They’re not why people tune in. But they follow a bizarre format- generally sexualizing animals in the way he comedically sexualized an actor.

The most recent episode bombards us with mating season clips and ends with Eyore orgasming, rofl. I’m like, this is the point where it’s too weird to keep watching. At least for me.

I’m mostly curious about other people’s reactions. If and when you noticed this trend. What you thought about it at first, and what you think about it now xD
