I think that’s generally what happens when you’re constantly dealing with topics about greed, corruption, and general conservative insanity. Eventually you can’t make it funny anymore because it’s just depressing. I love SMN, but the humor and jokes have been really spotty. I don’t watch it for that stuff though. I’m sure the subject matter isn’t doing any favors for Cody’s mental health either.

Even despite John Oliver and his show being hilarious, it’s near impossible to keep that levity going through the brutality of some of his episodes.
