John Oliver's routine is so patently blatant and obvious that I've always wondered if the whole thing, including the audience responses, was scripted. The beats are exactly as anon describes. Cobert and Kimmel are similar but more subtle and delivered with at least a little variety. John Stewart did it the best and at the time you didn't even see it as propaganda, but watching his stuff now with less innocent and naive eyes it's pretty obvious. Oliver is so fucking hamfisted and obvious though, it really is hard for me to believe that there's an actual audience out there that willingly watches and laughs at his 1-2-3 drivel. Fucking clown world.
