A billboard advertising John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight was turned into a giant meme Tuesday by conservative guerrilla street artists the Faction, who tweeted the finished product out to fans.

The artist invoked the right-wing NPC memeto satirize Oliver, replacing his face with a non-playable character (NPC) image used to depict liberals as mindless partisan zombies. The name of the show was also scrubbed from the billboard, rebranded instead as The Orange Man Bad Show with John Oliver.

It makes for the second HBO advertisement in Los Angeles, California, that the Faction has vandalized since the start of 2019, part of a campaign to fight “Trump Derangement Syndrome” in the media.

In mid-January, media outlet Culttture ran exclusive footage of the Faction targeting a billboard advertisement for liberal comedian Bill Maher’s Real Time talk show with the same meme.

This week, elsewhere in the city, a fellow conservative street artist who goes by the name Sabo trolled Hollywood by posting faux movie posters.

Most went after Empire actor Jussie Smollett, over the debunked claim that he was the victim of a hate crime, and Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who faces a political crisis over allegations related to a racist photograph from his old medical school yearbook.

I'd ask which one of you did this but none of you are that ballsy
 
Why is the NPC thing a "right-wing" meme? I've seen lefties use it to make fun of right-wing partisanship too, including here on the farms.

Isn't it telling that any joke that's actually funny and not condescending and didactic is automatically "right-wing" to these people?

According to that, "right-wing" claimed that joke because the MSM and Twitter fanatics would pretty much say the same thing about Trump, racism, social justice, etc. Basically akin to being programmed to follow the status quo. People from the left were triggered by that, not knowing that they were reinforcing that stereotype that they can't think for themselves.
 
Pretty telling when the counter-culture is acting against popular progressivism.

This election season is going to be a hoot.

And, in this latest dispatch from Der Fuhrerbunker, the left responds by saying they are most definitely winning the culture war and Trump will be impeached any day now and these acts of partisan rebels will not go unpunished once final victory is achieved.

Censoring humor is a Leftist thing.

Yakov Smirnoff ("In Soviet Russia, party finds you!") said there was a ministry of humor that would prevent jokes that are critical of the party.

Making fun of political opponents is a time honored tradition in the West.

Except "making fun" requires you to be funny, standing on a stage and saying "SRSLY, FUCK DRUMPF? AMIRITE?!" is not funny. Notice how nobody laughs at that "joke", they applaud.
