If there\u2019s one thing you should know about GWAR<\/a>, it\u2019s that they\u2019re really big fans of public media. Well, you should also know they\u2019re part of the Scumdogs of the Universe who were such massive fuckups that they were banished to Earth for eternity because this planet sucks so bad that living here is considered punishment for their crimes. But you should still keep in mind that they\u2019re pro-public media like NPR.<\/p>\n

That little tidbit of information is important, because they were featured in last night\u2019s episode of HBO\u2019s hit news\/information\/comedy show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. In a clip that can only be described as a mild fever dream<\/a>, British comedian and show host John Oliver talks about GWAR and more specifically their frontman, Bl\u00f6thar the Berserker, was espousing the importance of public media here in America.<\/p>\n

For context, the segment in question was discussing the importance of public media and how the Trump administration\u2019s decision to cut $1.1 billion of federal funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) would be devastating for many communities across the country. So to go from small-town radio host to Bl\u00f6thar\u2019s rotting udder-dicks is pretty damn jarring. But let\u2019s not forget GWAR played the Tiny Desk<\/a>, so they\u2019re uniquely entwined with public media.<\/p>\n

But if you thought the clip was the only instance of GWAR showing up in the episode, you\u2019d be wrong. One of the main payoffs for this week\u2019s episode is the fact that John Oliver is auctioning off a ton of bullshit he\u2019s used on the show for a gag with the funds generated eventually getting donated to the CPB. If you check out the auction website<\/a>, one curiosity is nestled between the authentic Bob Ross panting and a big ol\u2019 set of brass testicles is a bidet signed by Bl\u00f6thar himself<\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s part of a gag on the show, you\u2019ll have to watch the clip below to get it.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s a great mention of an iconic metal band for a great cause.
