Everything you need to know is right here, courtesy of the extremely wonderful and witty John Oliver. Make sure you watch right to the end.

Honestly didn't find a single joke in the whole thing that was aimed at someone over 10
Cringy as hell.
Agreed.
When I was in primary school I would definately laugh my ass off at a bunch of people dressed as choir boys singing "*** you European Union". I'd also laugh hysterically at farts, wedgies and people falling off chairs.
But its surprising to me that a show comprised entirely of that level of humour is aimed at adults.
I also distrust people in the comedy industry who use the excuse of "comedy" or "satire" as a cover to simply plaster their own political views over the airwaves.
I would expect anyone remotely honest in that position to at least make an attempt to understand the leave side of the argument. Instead he spent 15 minutes dismissing everyone as racists. It was a longer pro remain segment than the 10 minute ad slots the campaign got on British television.
Current projections suggest at least 15 million people voted for leave. To spend 15 minutes arguing that these are all idiots and racists seems to me like an extremely lazy effort.
Anyone who watches the show know if he's done a long takedown of Hillary yet, or was that only reserved for her general election opponent?
