I've seen them thrice and it was "pretty much the exact same thing" each time. Please tell me you're not really that fucking thick that you can't understand what that phrase means.

if its the exact same thing, then there is no "pretty much". its an oxymoron.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that what he meant by this was "the same set with very small or negligible differences". If you're gonna correct his vocabulary, try doing it in a way that doesn't make you come across as a pedantic smartass.

their live show consists of a bunch of acts or scenes. every time ive seen their show, i get treated to at least 1 act/scene i havent seen yet, so im not sure what "pretty much the exact same thing" means. was he unlucky in seeing the exact same acts/scenes each time with only a slight variation in lighting, costumes, or performers? or was he trying to describe a bigger difference such as a whole act/scene?

That isn't an oxymoron, you cretin. Do you think "Almost exactly" is an oxymoron as well? Or "not exactly", for that matter? It's called modality.

according to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron

this would be an inadvertent oxymoron, no?

No. Again, it's called modal shading. The speaker is aware of their qualification and uses it deliberately, so it isn't "inadvertent".

so "definite possibility" is an oxymoron, but "pretty much the exact same" is not?

i cant find a definition for modal shading.
