This was a typical he he, haw haw episode until Oliver suddenly and completely dropped his talk show persona, stared directly into the camera, and sucked all the fucking oxygen out of the room. It stops being a matter of politics or national borders and becomes a matter of actual humanity (do you have a soul within you, or don't you?) when shit like that happens. I admire a comedy that is willing to totally shelf comedy to send a powerful message when it's called for.

One of the more brutal episodes of LWT. I can watch a child traumatized by being separated form his mother crying about how his mother doesn't love him and is no longer his mother anymore once. I can not watch that twice. For being too real this episode is a one time only thing.
