Last Week Tonight - And Now This: It's Always Happy Hour on QVC

[@feelthelove3725]

gotta love wine mom “culture”

[@haleymist09]

1:01 Hahaha love the zoom in on the big GASP And then the DMB quick dance party at the end. Ants Marching indeed.

[@mangana215]

I enjoy a glass of wine sometimes, and by sometimes I mean a glass every 30 minutes or I'll start to rip my extensions off

[@Magnavox-1972]

I love how they played the song “Aunts Marching” at the end there. 😏

[@chrisbarry9345]

It's all clearly suggestion to get their audience more likely to drink and spend money impulsively

[@m0L3ify]

oof you're probably right

[@dovahdewitt17]

How brave it is to drink in the day. So brave

[@classiclife7204]

When this originally aired last year, I wonder if QVC cooled it a bit with the wine drinking. Or was it quarantine time and f*ck it.

[@jessymonster]

I can say from experience it was a 'fuck it' situation. Pandemic had sales UP! Everyone was stuck at home.

[@bilindalaw-morley161]

Thank you, Geoff!

Female alcoholism in the US has *skyrocketed* over 20 years. We act like it's a cute meme. Replace the wine with a beer or a Manhattan in the morning and suddenly it's way sadder.

[@grizzledsentinel4691]

Who on earth is acting like it is a cute meme? People have been pointing out that this is alcoholism for a long time. Heck, during her friday night lights parody, the sole thing Amy Schumer's character did was point out alcoholism (watch the size of her wine glasses): kzbin.info/www/bejne/in6Vg4iMo7mfrNU

@@grizzledsentinel4691 I believe you're lying about your experience unless this your first day on the internet.

[@taurinecat]

Is that true? My grandma kept box wine everywhere and ordered Rose at Chuck E Cheese to keep her going. I kinda thought moms always drank.

[@m0L3ify]

@@taurinecat My mom was a recovering alcoholic, so it was never allowed in our house. So, yes and no, I guess! She definitely did before I was born!

[@grizzledsentinel4691]

@@BuildinWings You made a strawman argument. You got called out on the strawman argument. You personally attacked instead of owning up to it. Yep, that seems about right for the internet. The projection is strong with you.

[@CanadaMatt]

You've gotta wonder how these people avoid the urge to just drop a toaster in their bathtub on a nightly basis.

[@Peterljr888]

Same with the amount of dudes out there constantly drinking and complaining about how much they hate their wife. Like if they don't like their spouse why did they get married

[@Peterljr888]

@James true that. And also to add: a lot of people seem to be afraid to be alone so much so that they'd rather be in a relationship they don't like than be alone

[@destonlee2838]

The Dave Mathews QVC connection is Legend.

[@sashimiroll5055]

I don’t get “Wine Mom” culture. It’s so weird.

[@IMeMineWho]

Its actually a version of the lyrics to the Rolling Stones' classic Mothers Little Helper only substitute wine for pills.

[@mg4361]

Alcoholism for moms

[@silvasilvasilva]

Their life is awful and they drink to forget. Thaťs mainly it.

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

What else are they going to do?

[@sastrugi4471]

If you know, you know.

[@jessymonster]

I work on a channel like this. It's surreal. Pretty damn fun tbh!

[@heyheytaytay]

Wine. For when alcoholic suburban moms want to feel "classy" about being afternoon drunks.

[@ianism3]

or even morning drunks

[@theuntitled91]

I think being drunk is a requirement to do this stuff all day.

[@jaerivus]

Ah, yes, "Crash"... That dancy banger.

[@pajamaparty01]

"Mommy doesn't get drunk, she just has fun"

[@HelgaCavoli]

It's wine-o'clock

[@paroxymal7688]

So they are just alcoholic people 😧

[@Lizzie-ve7kt]

Lol I love Kim Gravel, she was the best on Kim of Queens.

[@Peterljr888]

Hahaha casual alcoholism am I right

[@lilmsgs]

I threw up in my mouth a little when the blonde karen in the turquoise outfit began dancing

[@m0L3ify]

yay alcoholism 😔

[@MR-intel]

US advertising seems to address toddlers.

[@jinx17]

I wish I liked wine, maybe I haven't found the right kind, but the alcohol taste makes me retch

[@HighPriestofLemuria]

They literally get to drink at work, stop hating. The only thing that could be better is if they were ripping fat bong hits and talking fashion.

[@BuildinWings]

Weed doesn't kill people and cause horrific addiction problems. This is more like if QVC hosts did blow on the air.

@@BuildinWings Bongs aren't great for your lungs and throat though. People also die from cancer.

[@BuildinWings]

@@axelbauron155 There actually isn’t any literature connecting lung cancer to cannabis use.

[@axelbauron155]

@@BuildinWings It's a plant, it's organic, it's made of carbon. When you burn it, it produces CO that goes into your lungs. CO isn't a friendly gas. Whatever plant we are talking about.

[@axelbauron155]

@@BuildinWings That's my very ill-informed opinion.

[@writerinprogress]

Okay, looks like i'm gonna be 'that person' then: wine is overrated. I don't get the enthusiasm for it.

[@sastrugi4471]

It's called social alcoholism. That's what's overrated. Most wines are average but discovering a great one off the supermarket shelf is the game.
