John Oliver on Inflation
#3
once you notice oliver's comedy timing pattern its hard not to unnotice it...

obvious-point obvious-point wry-aside laughter...
obvious-point outrage zinger laughter...
calm-down on-your-side relief-laughter...

so he mixes those obvious-points being things that are quite true and everyone would agree with, then some "obvious-point" beats substituted with the propaganda takes that he wants to make. "of course no one can predict inflation", "the stimulus package while necessary", etc. the listener is caught up in the comedy rhythm that the indoctrination slides right in, there's no pause to be able to think hey wait a minute...

it's funny, but insidious.
