Okay, real talk. I have seen exactly ONE clip of John Oliver using "it's [current year]" as an argument. One. Can someone please tell me why the fuck it's a meme now to spam "CURRENT LEAR lel XD" every time John Oliver is mentioned?
>he unironically likes John Oliver
Kill yourself tbqh f a m
Memes aren't really supposed to make sense.
>>64924625
Honestly if you push something hard enough it becomes the norm on 4chan. I guarantee you this 'meme' started off as one dude with a lot of spare time posting it over and fucking over.
C U R R E N T Y E A R
>>64924625
That meme died two weeks ago.
>>64924625
It is pretty funny desu senpai. But yeah they are over using it.
>>64925921

>>64924625
He doesn't say that phrase exactly, but chronological snobbery is a running theme in his show.
>>64924625
He said it at the high of when internet journos were using it as an arguement in their own articles.
Personally, I'm glad it's now okay to shame people out of relying on CURRENT YEAR
>>64924625
/pol/acks male fun of him, because they refuse to accept social progress
This is what happens to France if they DONT let in refugees acording to le current year man.

It's mostly his overuse of the smug "wow, REALLY?" non-argument, le current year is just a common example of this.

social progress is a social construct, goy.

How the fuck has Oliver incited any race wars you retard
I don't get how the "but he never said it!!!!" people can defend themselves. the entire construct at the centre of John Oliver's being is the current year meme. it's all he is, he's just a walking reminder of the current year, with a few jokes tacked on.
>>64926359
a thing that when i say it's a social construct it means it's not real.
>>64926255
This
I've barely watched any of his shit show but that's basically the punch line of everything
>showing clip of republicans doing something

>"wow really america in 2015? This is just like (insert funny exaggeration here)
>>64925909
tfw I did this once
>>64924625
Cause /pol/ are a bunch of inept idiots that wouldn't understand nuance if it subtly tapped them on the shoulder.
I can only name 2 episodes that have had SJW themed main stories (to my memory)
>Only women are harassed on the Internet
>Transgender shit
And beyond that most of what he says is perfectly backed up.
Go after Willmore, he is LITERALLY Neo-liberal authoritarian all white men must get gender reassignment surgery level SJW
Oliver isn't the hill you guys wanna die on. Because you're disagreeing with somebody so agreeable. And it's evidenced by the propaganda tier memes.
>>64924625
>>64926312
That's the one clip I was referencing
>>64924625
Okay, real talk. Get back to work Jontron.
>>64926376
He literally demanded Europe open its gates to their future rapists by claiming all the rapefugees were just innocent disabled Syrian children. now ethnic Germans have been smashing Muslim restaurants and burning down asylum centres as a result of the mass public gang rapes that are happening in their country.
>>64926312
right right
>>64926359
A social construct
>>64926406
>wouldn't understand nuance if it subtly tapped them on the shoulder
Stealing this
>>64926425
If Europe bases their decisions on what some American comedian says then that's their problem
>>64926406
>And beyond that most of what he says is perfectly backed up.
Please tell me how he backed up "if you don't pay for Mosques for refugees, you're a racist".
>>64926406
>And beyond that most of what he says is perfectly backed up.
REALLY AMERICA?
LAST YEAR WAS 2015!
2 0 1 5 1 0 2

He doesn't say it directly, but the sentiment underlies nearly every one of his arguments.
>>64926406
>Cause /pol/ are a bunch of inept idiots that wouldn't understand nuance if it subtly tapped them on the shoulder.
Did John Oliver literally write this?
>>64924625
I use the meme and I don't even know who he is. Some shit comedian from some shit american show? Who cares. I bet that 50% of the baneposters didn't even watch the whole TDKR movie.
One thing that's gotten lost in this whole current year drama is just how poor the level of comedy writing is in Oliver's material. I've seen some of the best ever parodies of the beats and flow of his shitty, shitty jokes on here and they're always really spot on.
>I mean, yeah, you can put X in Y, if you want you can put Z in Y if you're feeling frisky, but who has EVER, EVER in the history of the planet ever put Z in X??!?!?!?!?!
>>64926406
nuance is the newest buzz word that I have noticed. People usually use it when they don't understand something.
>>64926602
I've seen some pretty good fake John Oliver jokes here
All you really have to do is take a really hardcore liberal stance and debate something like you have a stick up your ass and you are like 99% there
>>64926602
Also just making up random people to yell at in the upper left corner.

>Can someone please tell me why the fuck it's a meme now to spam "CURRENT LEAR lel XD" every time John Oliver is mentioned?
Because it's funny. This is how memes work.
>>64926406
Wilmore is just an annoying coon and his show is boring.
Im English so I prefer to deride John Oliver
>>64926476
That's a direct quote I assume, right?
Even assuming that's not a hot piece of molten garbage quote mined from the centre of the earth. That's one opinion, that I disagree with. You know he's starting his 50th-ish episode soon right?
This " I don't agree with 100% of the things this guy says, FUCK HIM" mentality is the reason everyone hates you argumentative fucks, and the SJWs.
Are you also

>>64926686
It's safe to say, there's nothing nuanced about propaganda.
Actually, Justin Trudeau said it first with regards to why he appointed a 50% female candidate.
John Oliver has many, many flaws and personally I find him to be a little retarded ugly man who ejects endless shit from what could be a mouth, but is likely more a symbol for the giant asshole that he is BUT he does bring up issues that don't often get the press they are due, ie mental illness in the states
I'd take him over Fallon or the human Jabba the Hut, James Corden
>>64926740
>trying this hard to defend your dumbass Liberal propagandist overlord

This
I don't get why he isn't shit on as hard as Oliver.
>>64926894
I was at a Last Week Tonight taping in the audience around July-ish and I walked past his dressing room and literally watched with my own eyes John Oliver masturbating to a Muslim man that was raping his wife.
>>64926406
>the meme of "It's 2015!", despite not being a DIRECT QUOTE, represents Oliver's overall sentiment that his Liberal ideals are inherently correct because they are popular in a modern venue
>libshits can't seem to grasp this
>libshits accusing ANY OTHER GROUP of being "unable to understand nuance if it subtly tapped them on the shoulder"
You're the one that is completely baffled by the fact that a meme doesn't have to be a direct quote to make sense.
So much for you getting subtly.
>>64926955
Oh, okay, I believe you.
I'm very turned on right now, got a vid?
>>64926937
>>64926406
because Willmore is black and thus his promotion of the dispossession and cultural humiliation of whites is completely in line with his own ethnic interests.
Oliver on the other hand is white and still pushes this bullshit, whilst at the same time trying to convince other white liberal zombie idiots that they should support it too.
>>64926985
It's a Strawman of his position. You're not creating a conversation, satirical or no. you're arguing with thin air.
It's propaganda and>>64926797
>>64926602
It would at least be bearable if he didn't deliver each bit in exactly the same way and repeat the same jokes over and over again. I don;t think people watch him because they find him funny; they just want someone to pat them on the back for having the "correct" viewpoint.
>>64926809
People having been making these jokes since before Trudeau before elected. It's supposed to be a statement Oliver has made but a reduction of his arguments to their most basic sentiment.
>>64927057
Oh sweet bro, you LARP?
>>64924625
It was a meme before he even said it.
>>64927098
I sure hope this is LARPing, because otherwise I'm a monster.
>>64926937
because I don't know anybody that watches his show
>>64927060
It isn't really a strawman when you consider that he segments called "Why is This still a thing?".
These appeals to progress (being the right side of history, etc.) are very common and sincere.
>>64924625
>real talk
>>64927060
>It's a Strawman of his position.
John Oliver literally calls his opponents "on the wrong side of history", which is the non-agrument summed up by the "It's 2015!"-meme.
It's not a strawman. He literally uses the "My views are correct because they are modern and popular"-argument, and that's what we're making fun of.
Stay mad, you fucking drone.
He literally says it nonstop in every episode.
>>64926920
if you want logic and rational discussion in your debates i'd stay the hell away from /tv/ (although the star trek threads can be pretty nice)
>>64926920
>Mmmmmmm, more John Oliver Cum(TM)! Another bowl over here, please!
You are such a mindless corporate drone that it's not even funny. Your ideology is basically a religion at this point.
Saying what year it is is the most common argument liberals use and right now John Oliver is the biggest hero to that sort of crowd. It's not surprising that people would throw it on him
>>64926138
>>64926406
hi john
>>64926425
>mass public gang rapes
wow that sounds like you could post news sources to back that up
> but the horrible jews are controlling the media
mhm
>>64927232
It's not an appeal to progress, just because progress will happen, if what's propositioned happens.
The " why is this still a thing" segment is used to highlight absurdities. Not push an agenda.
Are you a big Ayn Rand fan?
Is day lights savings time too racially charged of a topic for you?
If you knew the topic you spoke about, you'd know that the why is this still a thing segment is like the opposite from race baiting, it's literally just silly thing, that I can't imagine anybody disagreeing with.

None of the perpetrators were refugees

they were north african shitskin invaders, the same as the "refugees" are. neither group belongs in the white homeland of Europe.

I gotta be honest F@M, that makes it worse. Millions are refugees are pooring into Europe, and here's a group that is on the other side of the process of integrating into society. It's not pretty.

>The " why is this still a thing" segment is used to highlight absurdities. Not push an agenda.
Do you really not understand how the former can be used to do the latter? Making things you oppose look absurd could certainly help to push an agenda. In these arguments, what makes these things absurd is that the belong to a former time of ignorance and have no place in the present. It is exactly an appeal to progress.
>Are you a big Ayn Rand fan?
I have no fondness for her, but I really wasn't impressed by the show's take down. One the major grievances with her was her racism, which makes any reverence for her in the present absurd.
>Is day lights savings time too racially charged of a topic for you?
But Columbus Day and Cultural appropriation certainly are.
>>64928246
i'm gonna go ahead and call b8 and register this one as the same calibre as >>64928034 very good and almost got me, but just a little too subtle. a strong 8/10.

>I have seen exactly ONE clip of John Oliver using "it's [current year]" as an argument
At least he has said it, unlike the Vinceposting meme when Vince Vaugh says "Caspere knew this". He never said that at all.
>>64928327
Solid post.
1. I see what you're saying. But I don't think it warrants that kind of digging. Nothing he's done in that segment is racially charged, or hits any real SJW talking points.
2)I'm not a big Ayn Rand fan either. Rush did Anthem better.
3) Fair enough. I would argue actual atrocities happened associated with Columbus Day. But certainly I can agree cultural appropriation is both an SJW talking point and bullshit.
But it goes back to what I said about disagreeing with somebody a little bit is suddenly the worst thing in the world. >>64926740
If you spend your life in an echo chamber youre never going to equip yourself to tackle bad arguments like those used to support cultural appropriation.
And I think echo chambers are the problem on both the left and right side. And a symptom of that echo chamber on the right. Is the "It's CURRENT YEAR" propamemeda
>>64928658
Oliver's can't go through one fucking episode without the use of a contextual timeline rant. That's all he fucking has. Cut him some slack he is a Britcuck after all

Wilmore killed his own show, so there is no point. He literally had a fat acceptance blogger trying to defend obesity as a disability while sitting next to a crippled, wheelchair bound women.

isnt that the point of wilmore's show? to let people with multiple different opinions on an issue speak their minds?
>>64926406
I saw an old (years) episode of Mock the Week a while ago. John Oliver was on it. One of the other comedians made a joke based on a German stereotype (being authoritarian, I think), and Oliver actually called him on it being racist. Comedian with no sense of humour.
>>64931595
>multiple different opinions
It's literally just the same sjw ideology rehashed over and over again every episode.
Has ha made any comments on how Europe should let in more Muslims after all the sexual assaults started to finally make their way in to the mainstream media?

obviously white women should let brown muslims have assault them to reverse their privilege. its 2016!

>>64931675
> Those horrifying episodes which had both Jo Brand and John Oliver on it
The show went to shit after Frankie left anyway
>>64931921
This is true. I bet the BBC (kek) would absolutely LOVE to give him a show now, though.
>>64926125
He said it in 2013, and he said "it's almost 2016" on twitter. "It's 2015" is just because that's when the meme started.
>>64932289
hear, hear
He stated the current once during a talk show, and it wasn't as an argument
I'm paraphrasing, but
>Interviewer: "Why aren't you interested in Donald Trump?"
>JO:"Because the election is in 2016, and it's 2015 right now."
>>64926406
You forgot his bullshit stance on refugees and how if we don't let millions of people swarm from a third-world shithole into our countries, we're racists/bigots/whatever. His whole argument hinged on cherrypicking one refugee who happened to be a kind, skilled woman.
Meanwhile the overwhelming majority of them are unskilled, useless, refuse to integrate, breed like rats, and are young, able-bodied men that should be taking up arms against their oppressors; not bringing their shitty culture that turned their country into a dystopian shithole. These are people that hate western civilization and would push for us to become caliphate the day they become the majority.
Fuck Muslim refugees and fuck John Oliver.
>>64931152
I wish you people would stop throwing the word "cuck" around, as if it were an argument. You just sound like a fucking idiot.
