Last Week Tonight was off the air this past Sunday for Memorial Day, but the show uploaded a new web exclusive that switches up the usual “How Is This Still a Thing?” segment into a new segment called “How Is This Not a Thing?” From a version of Ambien that keeps you through the day awake to biodegradable treadmills to house keys that cry to bread pants, Oliver thinks there are lots of non-things that need to become things as soon as possible: “While there are many things in this world that should no longer be things, there are also many non-things that should absolutely be thingified – brought into the thingsistence, if you will.”
