I don't know. Why don't you ask them?

Looks like he fell into coco
>>
>>47388056
He was interrupted so many times while trying raise valid points
Although what do you expect from a comedian...
>>
>>47388056

I haven't seen it but I hate that show. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was trash and John Oliver wasted the chance to have a good segment.
>>
>>47388176
yep
>>
>>47388191

Heh. Watching it right now on YT. I hate this guys persona.

At the very least it might raise awareness among the plebs that like this show (most people apparently).
>>

>>47388176
>>47388191

Butthurt fags, go watch it fully through and you'll see the point. Oliver was acting like an average American would, because he wanted Snowden to communicate the point in a way for them to understand/get upset about it.
>>
>>47388219

I'm sure it was very digestible to most.I'm not saying it shouldn't have happened, just that I personally probably would not enjoy it.
>>
>>47388175
He was interrupted because John Oliver was trying to get him to realize if he wants people to care about the NSA he has to dumb shit down and simplify it for them.
By the end Snowden seems to have gotten the idea.
>>
>>47388056
It's practically a South Park episode.
>>
>>47388056
Not a good move.
>>
>>47388245
pretty much this.

i was pretty pissed off at John for the first half of the interview, but when the second half rolled in I got it, and it was quite funny.
>>
>>47388056
Link it cocklord.

its not about snowdern

mfw snowden relises he threw his life away for nothing while watching the public reaction clips
>>
>>47390479
People don't care till it affects them directly. "You know who I call? I don't care."
"They won't look at me, I'm not a terrorist."
"Wooo wooo, wait, you can see my dick pics? Ok, we need to shut them down."
>>
>>47390703
Until he sees the clips where they say they would be upset if there was a dick pic collection program.
>>
I thought he was the Wikileaks guy, too.
>>
>>47390396
>>47389644
His face when he saw people forgot about him. Pretty sad.
>>
>>47389644
Pretty shit because it was a comedic interview.
Snowden seems like a very well spoken guy
>>
>>47390396
>Getting Snowden to discuss dick pics in complete seriousness
I'm dying over here

>>47388056

What show?
Oh that kid who fucked his life forever for something we already knew, thinking he could be Rock Star Assange?

Yeah he dun goofed, and I don't care.

my sides are out of the fucking stratosphere

>something we already knew
The most people knew before Snowden was that the NSA was spying on Americans phone calls and probably a lot more. No one could tell you how it works, what exactly they were collecting, or anything more than speculation.
>>
>>47392068
>Oh that kid who fucked his life forever for something we already knew

Not that the general public knew.

pls

he has nothing on snowden
>>
I think he did a good job even though he kind of made a fool of Snowden.
He knows his audience is retards and he was trying to enact that in a way that would make people laugh, but realize that the stuff he was talking about was important. Maybe.
>>
>>47392312

9/10 would bang if was gay
>>
>>47388056
It was okay, I enjoy hearing from him.
>>
>>47392372
At one point he said something like "You understand why I'm doing this, right". Snowden seemed to understand.
>>
To think, all this time, all we had to do was tell people their dick pics were being looked at by the NSA. Now they care.
From now on, I'm just going to frame all of my arguments with dick pics.

He told you everything pre Snowden. You didn't listen.
>>
>>47392373
He makes me realize how shit my life is.

Dude started in the Army but broke both legs. Got a security guard position and basically learned IT. He became a sysadmin for some of the most complicated systems in the world before he was 30, looks good, had good salary, and lived in Hawaii.
>>
That british guy is so painfully unfunny that it ruined the interview
>>
>>47388245
I thought it was pretty effective. that's usually how I explain it to whoever asks me
>>
Still no left nose pad :(
>>
>>47392637
I was telling him what he was doing.
I honestly hope the NSA stuff gets explained more this way. In fact we should be doing it ourselves too.
>>
What happened last week?
>>
>>47392689
The show is called "Last Week with John Oliver"
>>
>>47392708
Whats new in there that Snowden hasn't shown us already? Besides generic shitty tv.
>>
>>47392733
A group of people who have no idea what the NSA is or who Snowden is and Snowden realizing he needs to speak retard if he wants people to listen. That's about it.
>>
>>47392733
He explained everything for normies with the analogy of a dick pic
>>
>>47392733
Nothing, but now that the general public is being told "The NSA is looking at your n00dz", they might actually start to give a shit.

That, at least, was the reaction that John Oliver's crew got from random Americans interviewed on the street.
>>
>>47388056
He's still as great an actor as ever.
