If I was from Danbury, I'd tell this Nancy to name the place.

John Oliver sucks. He nailed all the low hanging "enlightened outrage" segments so then as he's had to stretch to find his new "cAn yOu bEliEvE tHiS!!1!" topics he's just turned into a TDS hack.

His show smells like the plant that honored him, both overnight stinkers.

You think he’s genuinely mad? I’ve never seen his show, but I’d bet he, being a comedian, thinks it’s hilarious they named a sewage plant after him. That’s material for a lifetime.

I have a thing about having no interest in what a foreigner's opinion on America's politics is, particularly if they're hosting a show like John Oliver or Samantha Bee.

How many Americans host political shows in the UK or Canada?

John Oliver seems to be wrong time after time.





Yet, so many of my friends have tried to get me to check out his show over the years. I knew 5 minutes into the pilot episode of Community that I just wanted this clown to go away. His accent is very annoying.

Oliver ranted first, calling out Danbury at random as part of his shtick. He’s done this before in other bits, some funny, some not. He doesn’t have any problem with Danbury, he just name dropped them for the sake of comedy. Naming the sewage plant was in response to that, not the other way around. Title’s a little misleading.

“A thrashing from John Oliver”.

Okay, John. Simmer down there buddy. I wouldn’t want you to break your limp wrist hitting a 10 year old.

I used to like John Oliver - I figured he would have a better sense of humor about this than he is showing.

I guess I misread him.

Damn, that's a great idea. Kudos to that town.




We should start a movement on here to refer to all sewerage treatment facilities as "John Olivers".

Who's with me?

Exactly. The smug elitism that spews from them (and I only see it in clips) is gag inducing. Not sure who the audience is that watches

Nah. There's too many Dem politicians out there that deserve their very own sewage plant dedication to name them all after John Oliver.

I'm not suggesting we formally name them all after him - just kind of use that as a generic term: "There was a bad incident at the JO [meaning sewerage treatment plant], and now there is Alec Baldwin all over the place."

Or, "I bought some rural land and can't tie into city utilities, so I'm going to have to drill a well and put in my own John Oliver."
