With 2015 looming, there is one big problem we, as the entire human race, have against us all.
That problem is… New Year’s Eve. Well, that is what John Oliver and the team at Last Week Tonight is here to tell you ultimately making you feel better that you stayed in rather than go to some random party where you paid a higher cover charge than you would for most of your favorite bands playing a festival.
Watch there two cents and then some on New Year’s Eve here.
Let Comedy Resolve to Stand Up For Itself in 2014 Like Natasha Leggero
For the sake of several people on the Internet looking for a reason to be outraged, so many comedians were coerced into publicly apologizing last year. Maybe some cases were called for and other ones were certainly blown way out of proportion and taken out of context (a mortal enemy of comedy).
Over a New Year’s Eve special, Natasha Leggero made a joke about American veterans and received a lot of criticism from it, but, thankfully stood up for her joke, which was, as you should hear a lot today, pretty harmless (and pretty great).
We can only hope that more comedians will stand firm with their jokes in 2014 so long as they really aren’t using comedy as a veil for bigotry, which definitely was not the case here.
