Oh God... he references child pornography for a joke, and the audience laughs at it because they've all watched child porn. As have I, and anyone who recognizes the 'psycho ex' bit

WHAT???????!!?

John Oliver is right. Obama needs to take a leaf from Ned Starks book

The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.

The psycho ex bit mirrors very closely an old video and meme of a slightly... obsessive girl who made a nude video of herself where she talks crazy to the camera. this was passed around the internet and set to, for example, the theme from Requiem for a Dream, to illustrate her creepy crazy. Not a great thing to admit to watching, what with the possible mental disturbance and the public mocking of private nudity and all... But it got much worse when it turned out that she was apparently in eighth grade when she made the video. Extra ew, then.

Why do you know this?!

Jesus! There are some corners of the internet I'm glad I haven't been to....

Because, as I said, this video got linked around a lot before anybody knew her age or identity. Just like goatse or lemon party, it's a piece of internet history that nobody needs to be proud of recognizing, but it's not particularly surprising if you're over 30 and do recognize it.

Did he say back in Feb? Damn.

..That's not really the same as saying "everyone has watched child porn and so have i." The first comment is not flattering to you, i know i wouldn't want it said of me.

Uh, what? It's not supposed to be flattering, it's just sad and true - the people who have seen the video that is probably being referenced at the beginning, unwittingly watched child porn. Which sucks. If you haven't seen the video, good for you.

I dunno, I laughed at that opening bit because it just sounded generally like something a crazy ex would do. I guess it could have been an intentional reference to that but I certainly haven't seen that video and found it amusing.
