John Oliver mocks 'Liberty Biberty' on Last Week Tonight

tvOct 12, 202621310

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver ridiculed the advertising mascot nicknamed Liberty Biberty and urged viewers to anthropomorphize the character to make the ads untenable. Oliver called the mascot “I hate this thing” on air and used a stream of mock descriptors that appeared in audience posts, including “Big Bird’s sleep paralysis demon.” Several online posts repeated Oliver’s lines and invited creative, often profane characterizations; some posts specifically urged furries and other artists to personify Liberty Biberty. A few commentators warned that the attention could amplify the mascot rather than reduce its airtime, while other posts celebrated Oliver’s challenge and shared invented slogans and jokes referencing the character. The segment amplified online attention around the mascot and prompted a wave of user-generated images and jokes about Liberty Biberty.

between liberty biberty, all the gambling commercials, and all the batshit crazy right-wing political ads, I grow nostalgic for the days of good stuff like "fostahs: ostralyin for beeyah"

We’re getting a lot of “If you like Mamdani, you’ll LOVE Candidate X” oppo ads, and you know what, Republican dipshits, thanks for the voter guide

No greater evidence that Celtics Bluesky is made up of a bunch of nostalgic millennials and gen xers than that we all keep reposting this painfully true statement. I’d kill for some commercials for beer and shitty food.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver talked about the Kiwibank sheep. Streisand effect in action. If they were smart they would just let the attention die down on it's own, instead of making it funnier by going on DMCA rampage.

lol John Oliver on Liberty “Fucking” Biberty: “Fuzzy testicle with teeth” “Big Bird’s sleep paralysis demon” “…Liberty Biberty sounds like what the devil would shout in tongues to herald his arrival on earth.” “Love can do what hate cannot.” OMG the images… Might need to mute Biberty.

Every time I watch John Oliver's main story, I think, "good lord the next (Democratic?) president and Congress have a shitload to fix." And then I also think, "yeah, but John Oliver also aired during the Biden Administration." And then I get sad again about our leadership.
