I love how every single topic in all these re-releases is still relevant and barely anything has changed for the better 😬😀
I would say things have gotten worse and will get much more worse.
wow i thought this was current lmao
@@huascar66 Afraid I have to agree with huascar66, and almost disappointed in myself that I can give a very cogent, reasoned analysis on why and how things will get much, much worse.
Especially so that in my 42 years on this planet, having studied EU & International law and having lived in Russia and the US both - I have so far rarely ever been wrong in my political predictions.
And I am aware that sounds terribly conceited.
Yup, somehow we haven't learned from these mistakes.
That mean Baker in Colorado Won in the USSC
I can confirm I have been receiving so many blessings from the seeds I’ve planted with Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption. Many blessings on Pastor John.
If I wasn't a disciple of George Carlin for decades I'd convert but as it stands, to worship a religion is against my religion. I'd be happy to pray to the sun for John's church however, it is a worthy cause after all.
@@mikylak7983 I don't know if you kept up to the end, but Carlin was a relentlessly morose old a$$hole at the end. Just anger all the way down. One of his latter "routines" was about how you should be allowed to kill people who gave their kids trendy, new names like "Keyshawn" or the like.
Never take advice from an unhappy person. They are definitely doing something wrong. Not the atheism, as far as I'm concerned, but something.
@@TroubleToby3040 😁 god I miss George.
Religion has become a political shield for protecting bigots.
Yes
It has always been like this...😉
Become?
Wasn’t it always?
It’s funny to me how much religious people demand respect for their beliefs, but they NEVER respect other people’s…
18:13 oh how times have changed. Apple Watch is now widely accepted as wristwear, and multiple phone manufacturers have released “flip” phones
I have a sad feeling that as old as it is, this one's gonna be relevant for a good while longer
Yes. as long as lgbt exists, when it disappears everything will be fine
Praise be? 🤷
The anti Russia propaganda has been around since the 50s in the US and has never really gone away. Thanks McCarthy. Great job.
It's not that relevant though, I think you get stigma at school for like being a trans furry, and that's maybe
I love how they censored The phrase anti-russi@n prop@g@nd@ .
Republicans can't seem to answer "yes or no" questions with a simple yes or a simple no. 🤔
23:00 this seemed like a simple yes or no answer to me. Maybe you should pay close attention?
@@knifeyonline Think they're referring to shit show at 10:42 or should you pay closer attention?
"Just say a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No;' anything beyond this is from the evil one."
- Jesus
I always wonder how businesses with so-called "Christian" beliefs, who refuse to serve LGBTQA+ people (like the wedding cake maker in the video) would feel if I, as an atheist, said, sorry, I'm not serving YOU because your lifestyle goes against MY beliefs?
Christians don't see it that way
How would you feel if a baker was asked to make a cake for a nazi themed wedding? Should they be forced to bake a nazi cake? I love John Oliver, but this is a delicate issue that extends beyond lgbt rights. People should be allowed the right to refuse to create things for people.
@@Kruezoraxe My dude, you realise you're comparing gay people to Nazis? Not all refusals are justifiable. I would be fine making a cake for for a gay wedding but not a Nazi wedding, because the gay community has never tried to do a _genocide._
@@Kruezoraxe Bigotry is not a protected class, nor is it an inherent trait. I didn't choose to be pansexual, nor was I taught to be pansexual. I am. The end. My sexuality also does not cause me to be a threat to anyone. To discriminate against me for my sexuality is bigotry.
Being a nazi is taught and a choice, and is in itself bigotry. It is not a protected class, because it is not an inherent trait. Nor is it acceptable in society- being a nazi is an active threat to a wide array of different people.
If you cannot see that difference, you're part of the problem.
@@Kruezoraxe Are you seriously comparing gay weddings to nazis? They are not even in the same realm. By comparing religious beliefs, I compared Christianity to Atheism. Then you to it to an extreme that doesn't even make sense. It's like if you contrasted dog birthday cakes against someone who wants a cake that celebrates pedophilia.
It's sad watching this and experiencing what's still going on now. Pride month is going to be simultaneously great and hard. We'll have community, but I'm anticipating even more hate too
I expected people like Chaya Raichik, governments like Florida, Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and churches and school districts around the country are going to make it one of the hardest months of our lives, but we have to stay strong.
@@rosieg6989 Yeah, I'm anticipating the MAGA contingent and Fox News (not to mention assholes like Ben Shapiro and JK Rowling) are going to make it particularly bad in the media. I plan on spending as little time as possible online. Especially not in comments sections! It sucks how much backsliding we've done, but historically, that's the case when bigots gain power after progress is made. Vote like your rights and ability to vote depend on it, because they do!
@@rosieg6989 Pride was, and still is, a protest. And if we need to break out the bricks again, then so be it.
It's why we have Pride.
They already are. Pride month hasn’t even started and twitter is filled with memes of people wanting to annihilate it. And I don’t follow any of these accounts.
A reminder how little we've grown in 10 years, and how much we've actually started backsliding since then. How Trump won out of all the other candidates we had for 2016 will remain a mystery to my mind.
CNN was obsessed with Trump, talking about him 24/7.
He gave people permission to be their worst selves, and many people liked that.
I used to watch LWT on Roku, then i got divorced and kinda forgot about this show. So happy it popped up in my recommended vids to watch! Now i get to catch up on quite a few of them. Plus, i need a laugh today and John never disappoints. 😊
We must John our Oliver in celebration of this moment, boys.
at half mast
Somebody needs to open a rival bakery next door called "Masterbaking Every Day". Sell to everyone, but intentionally advertise to the LGBT community.
🤘😈🤘
And the rye bread is for serious masticators only.
My kind of bakery 🥰😍💖💖💖
Make sure to advertise that the frosting is your own secret recipe 😂
I'd totally buy From that place... Then park in the other shops parking lot just to eat it. 🖕
You folks are wonderful nutters, and I love the escalation 💗
Is it too early to call you the ... erm... the "cream of the crop"?🤣
Looks like Reddit was saying he's out of business-except there were millions in anonymous donations so now he's a millionaire-and as far as I can google, he's still making cakes.
Thank you for helping me feel like I can time travel to a Sunday night in 2015 and enjoy this Brand new episode!
My response to the whole "being gay is a choice" crap is this; "So why are you straight?"
😂😂 my father and I have talked about this a few times. I'll just sum the two of us as a couple of aging, bitter guys that have learned to appreciate single life. I've joked many times during periods in a bad relationship that "my life would have been simpler if I had been born guy". Now I know that's not really true but the point I try making is it's not a "learned" habit. Believe if it was i would have dumped that bitch barbie for ken in a heartbeat. especially if he was a gamer, that shit would have been great! But that's just not how I'm built so I'll just end up being that crazy old cat dude down the block. I work with a girl that was sent to one of those Christian gay conversion camps... She was a very nice girl, and it's a little hard to pin down exactly what was wrong, but there were times where she just felt a little...off for lack of a better word. I really wish I knew how to explain it better but I'm absolutely sure of one thing, send a child to such a place has got to be child abuse. Seriously they are so scared of "the guy" they're perfectly willing to scramble their brains to prevent it? Come on, I may not be gay but I'll happily kiss another guy in front of those people just to piss them off. 😈Of all the stupid shit you have to worry about with your children, if THAT is the greatest danger to them, news flash you've already failed your job as a parent.
At this point I assume anyone who says it is bisexual and they did make a choice. And that's why they think everyone else is making a choice too. They can't conceive that other people do not find everyone else, regardless of gender, super hot.
Because they choose to be straight. Next question.
So is being a Christian…..
Cuz it feels like the right choice.
Ahahaha I wasn't paying attention to the season stuff and thought this was the latest episode. I'm like "Oh, he died his hair, I wonder why?"
Clearly the last episode was a rerun, but this one is the original broadcast. You can tell because the phone number and mailing address weren’t redacted at the end of this episode, but they were in the last episode.
You dropped the entire 2nd season all at once & out of order?
Chaos reigns
Be grateful 😂
that's what they did with the first season, I'm assuming it's youtube's mistake.
Yes
If you go to the channel's playlists they are in order
"bowl, kneel, sit, stand or What ever the fnck it is church does" That Made me laugh so Hard 🤣
John Oliver couldn't believe the anti-LGBT behavior "in this day and age" in 2015 - which is good because we should all be appalled that some people still behave in such backwards ways. But in 2024 I live in a state that I'm pretty sure still has sundown towns, which are places where non-whites are not welcome. I don’t know that I’ve ever been embarrassed to be bi, but places like sundown towns make me embarrassed to be white and American.
Considering that Pride Month starts at the end of the week, the timing on this is brilliant
That's a weird way to spell "coincidental."
@@spellfireforge it could be coincidental and well-timed.
@@carnelianfox5010good for you for acknowledging your error, I would have called that person a Karen. Lmao
Note to self: do not watch John Oliver when recovering from a bruised rib. 😂
Good to watch these all over again. Enjoy everybody
Last week tn rules! The reruns will do, since theres no episode this week 🥺🤧🦠
I don't know if this song had been out by the time this aired, but one of the songs blasted to North Korea was called "Bang Bang Bang"
Jokes on that baker. Those dogs he made a cake for were both dudes
And one of the dogs was humping the tom cat last night! 🤣
Someone should theme their wedding as "Stolen Office Supplies" and invite John Oliver
At this point I am very invested in the saga of the most patient man on the planet.
I love that we’re dropping all of the full episode on TH-cam for free - this always has been a terrific show and flawlessly handled. I also love that I get to redo several of my suit ratings in a new light, and grace all with those opinions. Here we have a black suit/black tie, broken up with a red plaid striped shirt. Not as flashy for the episode on lgbtqia+ rights, but it is a delightful combo. It’s not the boldest option, but I do not dislike it. Unfortunately compared to the other suits this season, I can only give it a 4/10
I sent a letter, no donation, to "The Church." Because of the State I live in, the letter was returned, unopened, just in case. So saddened I was.
I really, really don't get why other people's sexuality is an issue to people.
Why.
Do.
You.
Care??
Religion. For many queer people are seen as an outright attack on their pure, religious lives and children. That being queer is morally wrong due to their Bible.
They care because they are told to care. They are sheep following their shepards who are manipulating their fear and anger in order to keep them in line and following them to the voting booths and church pews.
It's just weird to me that governments anywhere can't just let everyone be themselves. Almost like they feel threatened by it.
Because some people are jealous and queer people just have more fun, and the conservatives hate that.
I personally think Kazuma Sato said it best. "I don't care what he sucks", ya that's pretty much all that needs said. To the real holyer than thow people out there, I've worked with your kids and they may not be gay but let me tell you about some of the REALLY freaky shit some of them do!
Lol Jaejoong was also my favourite member of TVXQ
I love that in the picture of the guy with the elephant trunk thong, it is the other guy whose face is blurred.
Yesss season 2 reruns
I can confirm that whenever I buy honey it’s for the squeezable bear. 😅
Aloha from Hawai’i 🌺 WE LOVE YOU!!!
I wish they released this earlier, so good to see update on previous episodes.
Praise Be 🙏🏼
had to pause the video so I could laugh out the "gallagher" joke. Bravo!
S2 let’s goo!
I need to know more about where to find that song, "Tonight we party" with the kid - that's an absolute bop!
Saying that making the wedding cake means that you feel part of you goes to the reception is like making condoms and saying that part of you goes where the condom goes. 🤦🏽♀️😬🫣🤢. He’s a business and what his customers do is nothing to do with him. They just ordered the cake and paid him. That’s where his involvement ends!!!
Ya I don't get their logic at all. I've been a management job in both retail and restaurants. If I've learned anything it's that there's one universal truth to any service industry. every sale, big or small, is important. I sometimes need to know certain things about them simply to help get them the correct assistance, but beyond that I DO NOT CARE! Money is the entire reason we're there to begin with, why would willingly turn down a sale for any reason other than it's bad for my business (for example if I know the customer is definitely going to be unhappy). It's much harder to keep the doors open when the people working there see the customers happiness as anything less than most important. I've seen time and again, once a business gets "comfortable" losing those customers, saying they don't need their business, at that point it's usually just a matter of time before they're gone. I've worked for 5 places where those attitudes were common and none of them exist anymore. I'm not talking mom and pop places, they were mass national (if not international) companies with 100s of locations at one point. So, ya every sale matters. if a bearded dude in a tutu shows up, as long as he's not carrying a 8 in bowie knife, I'll sell him anything he wants, if it happens to be chilly out I might even offer to show him where we display tights (hay it's a good up sale opportunity. A couple guys or ladies kissing, that's an opportunity to pitch printing services, get a coffee cup selfie 😁.
But I bet you didn't like it when that chemical company was caught selling lethal injection drugs to the Trump admin lol
Oh! And I bet you support mass shooting victims being able to sue gun manufacturers!
Thank u 4 being an ally 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈❤
I went into the Federal Reserve in Kansas City with a 50 Trillion Dollar (Zimbabwe) note and offered to pay off the national debt but as long as they gave me change in US currency. They don't have a sense of humour in there. In Zimbabwe, the rapper 50 Cent is called 348 million dollars.
And here we are in 2024... everything has gotten worse!
Yeah, Trump sucks, doesn’t he?? Lmao
America's greatest mistake was not voting Bernie Sanders in.
Unfortunately Obama and Clinton sabotaged him in the primary.
*remembers the shit we've done in the 19th and 20th and 21st centuries* the worst?
You mean when Hillary rigged the primary so he won the woke but she still got the delegates. Beat thing that could have happened because we got Trump of the deal.
I think slavery, entering wars we had no business in, racism, etc. were worse, but… sure.
Reagan.
Can we all just acknowledge how weird it is talking about an election without Trump.
He has ran or will run in 4 of the 7 elections this century, so yes, we can.
@@lostinrabbithole12 2024 is only the third time Trump is running?
Where is the 4th time?
@@Rowsy91 He ran for Ross Perot's Reform Party in 2000. This is where that one quote people point to to say that "The Simpsons predicted the future" came from
also trump was running for this election
23:25 he is pictured
Are we sure this wasn't produced last week? It's sad how little has changed in the past 9 years, especially the segment with the guy from the Washington Journal taking calls from all those "lovely" people.
K-pop has come a long way, at least. This is right before BTS changed everything.
SEASON TWO BABYYYYYYY!
“Where women act like ladies”… well, that singles my sister out! She’s a straight as an arrow, but she’ll be the first to admit, she ain’t no lady! That isn’t just homophobic, that gender discrimination because even straight people aren’t “proper”. There ARE husky straight women and feminine straight men…
That's the truth, I also hate here how women are so much weaker than men. Sure, in a lot of cases that may very well be true, but it's certainly not a universal fact. I dated a girl once that acted why manlier then me and, I admit, probably stronger than me...let me put it this way, I watched her THROW a bowling ball, OVERHANDED (like a baseball), and covered the distance of an open basement! Can you do that? Also it's one of the few times in my life I thought "you know if we got into a fight I'm gonna get my ass whooped!" That's not a thought I'm very accustomed to.
@@mikylak7983 oh I believe it! There are some badass women out there! And you know what? I’m here for it! I may be a man, but I am a natural submissive. I think it’s so hot when women take charge and tell me what to do! I am not an alpha and I don’t feel a need to be. I will proudly be told what to do.
@@EmpyreanLightASMR people get stuck up in their own minds way to much. I worked at Circuit City in a college town years ago. The gm was ex military and I called him Sarge because that's exactly how he acted. The staff consisted of 4 girls in customer service, 3 older guys that had sold tech skills, and the car stereo installers all looked like they crawled out of the fast and furious dvd. The rest of the staff was completely college frat boys and the ones that got to good positions all looked like they had been high school football players....
I'm 5'5' and the man didn't even like me much so I'm not sure how I made it past the hiring interview. One might assume it was based on skills accepted he absolutely refuses to let me work the departments I had the skills in. I went from customer service to infield lead. I'm pretty sure that was because the assistant manager liked me and he had 85% of the store under him and needed help because I was giving virtual the same security authority as him (which was way over my job title, i could have done some scare shit) and give free rain over half the store. Basically everything but TV's, laptops, and stereos, and direct authority of around 35 people. I can be objective about myself, The only thing that kept my head above water was many years of big box retail experience. I got written up constantly.
Ignoring the stupidity of my strange promotion. If you stood back and just people watching it was like some bad 90s sitcom about frat house life. Even the employees kind of all looked the same based on 3 basic body archetypes.
I drove my GM absolutely nuts and I think it was at least 40% strictly due to NOT fit one of his chosen elite categories. I was a short computer nerd that was bad with people, good with customers, and unwilling to give an inch to someone 2' taller yet had a strict policy of clearing the way for some stealing an Xbox because Microsoft has never been good enough to die for. Looking back two things are very obvious, I spent almost 2 years feeling like Alice in wonderland fighting Sargent stereotype and the other is no wonder that company completely failed. Get a group of frat boys to gather and trust me, unless it's Beer Pong, you can get them to do shit.
I feel personally attacked by John's explanation of why we buy honey.
Update: BigEarl's is permanently closed.
Great news.
wrong for them to discriminate but it's okay for you folks to ruin their business and ruin lives. Everyone discriminates, you're all just mad when it's you being discriminated. Such hypocrites.
@@christyjonson9418 He sell wedding cakes, couple wanted to pay them for wedding cake, he didn’t sell them wedding cake because of how they were born and couldn’t change. He could have just sold them the cake but instead he let his bigotry and hatred show, and losing customers is the consequences of his hatred.
@@christyjonson9418They ruined their own business tho. Nobody made them make those choices.
Yes!
and let’s add ratifying the ERA.
Good lord this was yet again another great show
my my my....how times have changed.....where is the update to this video across the board....please!
Oh the kpop bit aged so well 😂😂😂
Lol this aged well. They ate totally making flip phones again
We are the rare few
The fact they censored the donation number in the last ep, but not in this one XD
It would've been funnier if John would have said that the word is, "Grease" is the word. If you're never seen Saturday Night Fever than you wouldn't get it. Lol
I forgot this moustache 😅 he looks like my worst teacher.
_"A gay wedding just got applause at a Republican debate. Add that to the list of things that would have been unthinkable in 2004."_
And that somehow is again unthinkable in 2024. smh
I could watch those C-Span videos all day 😂
This is Marge now such a vibe 😌😂
I was just at a poetry circle yesterday talking about how things have changed and not changed over the years, and one lady mentioned how you don't have to go very far to experience very different views on race or LQBTQ. Some pockets of society are very inclusive, and some still let you know that while they might not completely discriminate against you, they are not ok with who you are as a person.
I will never understand why we hate people whose only "crime" is being different. Isn't variety the spice of life?
There is something seriously wrong with people who destroy food rather than giving it away. Reminds me of colonizers destroying crops & animals in conquest.
I hope they play BTS, Stsy Kids, Psy, Blackink, TXT, G-Idle, IVE, Twice, & Itzy. Maybe Big Bang, lol. 😂
Wasnt this headlines again like 2 days ago? Its really kind of depressing to learn how much nothing worldwide has changed for the better in 9 years.
K-pop got a lot better in those 9 years.
This aired in 2015. It's 2024 now. We still have no federal protections. Shameful.
For those who don't know, the baker got his appeal heard by the Supreme Court (Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission), who ended up siding with him. Here's an excerpt from the Oyez summary:
"At the time, the State Civil Rights Division had also concluded in at least three other cases that bakers had acted lawfully in declining to make cakes that included messages they disagreed with, specifically messages demeaning gay persons. Thus it was not unreasonable for Phillips to believe that he was acting lawfully at the time, and his claims before the Commission were entitled to neutral treatment.
"However, the Court stated that Phillips did not receive this neutral treatment, with members of the Commission showing clear and impermissible hostility toward his religious beliefs. The Court explained that commissioners' comments disparaging Phillips' beliefs and characterizing them as rhetorical were inappropriate, though these comments were not mentioned or disavowed in subsequent legal proceedings. The Court concluded that these comments cast doubt on the fairness of the Commission's consideration of Phillips' claims. The Court also pointed out that disparities between Phillips' case and those of other bakers with objections to making cakes with anti-gay messages, and who were victorious before the Commission, further reflected hostility toward the religious basis for Phillips' position."
Um Jung Wha was a nice call, but how you gonna not mention Seo Taiji or at least Kwon Ji Yeong?
Fact: No Supreme Court justices have been assassinated in history or injured in an attempt, according to New Republic. In 1889, an assassination attempt was made against Justice Stephen J. Field, but the assailant was stopped by Field's bodyguard. #1889
i assume these youtube video drops have been a part of some kind of stunt or experiment (probably tracking youtube algorithm) and am excited to see it explained as part of season finale
He said in an interview with Seth Meyers that they’re posting them because they own the show now. th-cam.com/video/9eIsu2OLrsU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6fAQvK91qy9H1nCK
LGBTQIA+
EQUALITY!!!
They're using guard geese in Brazil instead of guard dogs.
Add 20 years John... A gay matriagr being applauded at a republican rally in 2024 would literally be the end of relaity at this point. Trump really destroyed all the progress we made in this country.
Great Video!
Yknow as a queer person it’s funny how while a lot of the circumstances have changed, it’s really still just the same shit and often worse even. Progress has never felt so slow.
Talking about state birds, here in Florida there was a republican woman saying the scrub jay (which is beautiful) should not be the state bird because it takes handouts. How ridiculous is that.
It makes me laugh even though she was dead serious about it.
I like how John said Iphone releasing a flip-phone would be stupid and here in 2024 the iPhone 16 is literally a flip-phone
"gay wedding got an applause at a republican convention". Well, that's certainly not happening today
Man, we need to vote. We need to vote for the people who are going to make change; not the people who are already in power, regardless of their side who have refused to make the changes we need. This is insane to see that it’s been nearly a decade and nothing changed. All we’ve done is watch people devolve into ridiculous arguments that mean nothing and go nowhere.
John Oliver you rock. ❤❤❤
i love the photoshops at the end getting progressively worse and worse XD
TVXQ got a mention ahhhh
Religion poisons everything. -- Christopher Hitchens
You know, I'd kinda forgot that Oliver had been on the air for over a year when gay marriage was legalized. Even knowing how recent it was, that still just... Hits in a way that doesn't feel real in the slightest.
Thank goodness I live in one of the places that has those better protections he was talking about. Proud of my state for being one of the 19 at the time (I hope it's more now, but fear it might not be, or might even be fewer, only know my state is still on the list).
Happy pride
So many uploads at once
South Korea trolling hard 😂
Gangnam style got a kid now?🤣
I wonder why in this repost, they didn't censor the address or phone number like they did when they originally uploaded it.
It took me way too long to realize this Episode was from 2015 and not 2024....
Yeah, because almost everything happening then is still happening/is worse now.
I understand Kim Jong-Un. The South Koreans spamming K-Pop across the border is an obvious act of war.
Watching this and just shaking my head about how much worse all of this is now compared to a decade ago.
WHO is the most patient man on television and what is his show??
Steve Scully for the show The Washington Journal on C-SPAN.
Bleep you, John-Geese are awesome!
That dog with putin photo may be "real" in the sense that its put out by him.or whatever they say...but its certainly a photoshop job lol
What an infuriating episode. Scissor-tail flycatchers are clearly the superior birds
E em 2024 está acontecendo a MESMA coisa na DMZ... hahaha
