Which is absolutely fine. I watch the show every week and enjoy it, even when I'm bemused. But that's because I enjoy consuming media in order to fact check it much as most enjoy watching fiction for the stories. It exercises my 'discernment muscles.'
What's important though, is that the takeway for most from the 'example' I created above is 'frogs with pocketwatches are funny,' not so much 'John Oliver convinced me Senator X is a bad person.'
