Man if that only worked.... Le sad face
Amen to that!
Teach us about what's REALLY going on Jin Oliver!
bruh same.
I saw the typo after i posted it but figured nobody would read it 🤕
I’m never clicking another one until they include the date in the title. I don’t trust them anymore!!
Salmon Cannon is still one of my favourite segments ever - just, the way they got all those people from different networks together to participate in something ultimately meaningless but most definitely joyful.
Definitely some season finale-worthy effort right there 🙏
One of the best bits in tv history
As a Washingtonian, I am so proud.
Also I love salmon!
Salmon Cannon and Eat Shit Bob are segments that will live on as long as there is a TV set or a computer.
Definitely disgusting.
It is 2024…. World is being torn apart by wars, pandemic and greedy people in government and corporations. But fish cannon still reminds us- humanity still can do great things.
The pandemic ain’t around anymore but all that other stuff yeah
All Washingtonians should be proud... this is truly emblematic of our state.
Or stupid things.
Man interferes with everything that is natural because of their greed
@@TimmyTheTinmanIt just went into remission. The threat of another pandemic is still there.
I cannot believe that this is the first time I've seen that fish cannon bit! I laughed so hard it hurt! Thank you so much, LWT team, for gifting us these old episodes for free here on TH-cam. You've legitimately made my whole month!
the fish cannon segment had always been available on youtube
@@zumabbar that doesn't mean everyone has seen it
@@adam45zthat also didn't mean i said what you said
Guys I went and looked up all the links John gave us and holy sh*t it is still up and it's still funny years later.
Damm really? That's good shit
They actually explained this later, but every time they make a fake URL for a website, LWT and HBO legally have to buy it and keep it running.
i was also shocked they're still live lmao
John oliver being free to watch on TH-cam! A match made in heaven!
I need everyone to know about the Survive The Sound fish tracking game. Every year, scientists in Washington State microchip some salmon to track their journey to Puget Sound. These fish are then given names and cartoon avatars. Some of my favorites are Brian Mackerel, Sergeant Snackbar, and Floundry10.
Businesses (usually local and/or fish-related, but not always) can sponsor a fish. For example, Floundry10 was obviously sponsored by Foundry10. This funds the restoration of salmon habitats.
Some teachers also have their students sign up and pick a fish to track on their journey. When I was in high school, I picked Forest, who, if I remember correctly, got eaten by a sea lion at one of the dams that the salmon cannon helps fish across.
This year, Survive The Sound begins on May 6th.
thank you for this info!! :D im so glad i know about this now
Once again, humanity is screwing around with an animal that has its homing function that took millions of years to evolve totally screwed over to accommodate us
He looks so young. So happy.
He hasn’t learned what we’ve all learned yet
@@oliverisenberg1862or his future self.
So long ago
THEIR THEME SONG HAS LYRICS!? How have I gone ten years without knowing that?
So glad i found this comment lol i never would have guessed it
I caught that at the end and it blew my mind too
Anyone know if the full version with lyrics is available anywhere? (I'd love it if I could find it on Spotify/Apple Music/etc but even an unmarked audio file on some decade old webpage would be cool too, I just want to hear the full song!)
@@jessaminemanchester go by valley lodge
The song is Go by Valley Lodge
The actors keeping a straight face after getting fished was funny
I have sat here while working from home, with this playlist going since yesterday. Sad I have hit the end. Can't wait for the next season to get uploaded.
Been doing the same, and was just thinking the same thing.
The salmon cannon is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
And everyone that got fish smacked kept a straight face....but I'd bet the outtakes are side splitting funny.
I was curious as to whether or not the Mike Bloomberg sites he mentioned near the beginning were still up or not, so I checked
All 3 remain online, all these years later.
Amazing.
Yay, I checked and you’re right!
One of the best 30 minutes of tv there is.
S1 E24 (aired November 9, 2014)
John Chessant, we salute you!
o7
Ten whole years have passed of me being an avid watcher of the TH-cam clips of this show and *this* is the first time I've heard that there are LYRICS to the theme??
Sidenote: I'm oddly emotional seeing a 10 years younger dancing John
Ready to rewatch season 2!!!
Imagine buying a ‘98 Mazda for $2500 today. Wild
This was the craziest part for me lol take me back
I remember pretty much all of Season 1 well! I was teaching English in Prague at the time. I had a few groups of students who worked at an organization that ran a lottery there (Now I remember the name - Sazka), and I showed them part of this episode in class for listening practice and discussion.
Please tell me you showed them the Salmon Cannon segment!
@@ultimatehawkeyefangirl I probably did at some point. I had a lot of classes and showed several clips from Last Week Tonight and the Colbert Report over the years. They were great for starting discussions with advanced-level adult students.
Throwback to when Seth did a standing monologue
And Colbert doing a Report!!
And Jon Stewart on The Dai-oh wait no nevermind.
Throwback to when Seth was in a suit.
From Oregon. I remember when the lottery, and state gambling, first started. I was pushed as a way to fund schools. Since then, legislation has siphoned that money off to so many other things, that education is getting a pittance from Oregon Lottery.
So this is the episode that started the bit of buying random URLs… incredible!
So glad for the full episodes. I'm 36, but I want to be John Oliver when I grow up.
I love the salmon cannon bit! 😆 🤣 😂
When I first moved to Michigan, I tried to find public transparency documents on the lottery. Couldn't find them. Mind-boggling to think the state runs an organization that manages billions with so little accountability.
My mother remembers when Washington state lottery started and is still very disappointed the money they said was going to the schools STILL hasn't made it to the schools.
The salmon cannon segment is the best thing ever made. EVAH
Did i really just binge all of season 1 in one day!
I’m ready for season two to drop! 😊
That fish cannon bit has me rollin in my bed at 6am!!! The look on some of those actors' faces was priceless! Wamda Syke's "WTH?" was timeless. How were those soap opera actors able to keep straight faces when the fish hit her in the face during their dramatic moment? I wanted it to go on forever... LOL!
🦈 🦈 🦈
Still classic with the salmon canon. I can just hear the call: “You guys wanna be on HBO?”
Couldn't wait for this next episode
i mean it came out a decade ago so you could have just went and watched it
The commitment to the bit
The fish launching had laughing so hard.
Wait does the LWT song have lyrics?! It’s had lyrics this whole time?!!
JOHN OLIVER speaks the brutal truth hilariously!
if I won the lottery I'd buy a whole cart of groceries and not worry about the cost.
Sadly you won't have enough for a whole cart, unless it's junk food
It feels like I haven't seen this episode for 10 years!
THIS IS A GEM I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!!!
We thank YOU, Jon Oliver!
Well, I just finished watching the entire season 1. Thank you for this. Here's hoping for LWT to do this some more.
It is SO amazing to have these shows available on TH-cam!
The real tragedy is that they don't bring the Salmon cannon back every episode.
🎉 make old uploads great again! Lol watching the ones I missed (most of them)
That is one hell of a salmon cannon!
Didn't know the Salmon Canon was this early. With so many cameos I thought It was at least at season 2 bit
We will never be able to unsee a raw rotisserie chicken strip dancing
Wait wait wait...the show theme has lyrics?
I have so many things I need to warn 2014 John Oliver about...
They need to revisit the Salmon cannon in this time of war.
How can you not love John Oliver, classic comedy!
The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.
I can't believe they showered John Oliver with fake salmon for the halibut.
Wow! Those sites are still active. 😄
The fingers crossed in green and white was the old logo for Virginia in the early 90's
I can't with the Salmon bit!!! 🤣👌
I will never be over the RBG chihuahua
The Oregon Lottery money is going to schools, but the legislature removed school funding from the state budget.
That when you know you have friends in the industry when you can interject into their show for a gag
Truly one of the absolute BEST shows on the airwaves today
AMAZING WRITERS!!
thank you thank you
💙💙💙
I started watching this show routinely 5 years ago. I was only 13 when it started… so understandably was not watching this. I am very happy to be watching season one for the first time.
All praise the glorious Salmon Cannon!😂
Nailed it they did, love the Salmon cannon
Funnily enough two states I've lived in have been in the liquor business
Notably in Virginia you could *only* buy hard liquor at state owned stores called the "ABC" and yes they did advertise it as the money going to things like education
PA has state stores and absolutely no alcohol in convenience stores. Some grocery store chains use a loophole about having restaurants and seating to be able to sell beer and wine. Current governor is in favor of loosening the prohibition-era laws.
Thank you for uploading the entirety of season 1 from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
Jet Force 5!!! Even w the salmon blasts. Where were you on this Kimmel?
Best use of fake salmon.
I am going to watch the salmon cannon over and over
No one ever wins the lottery, it's always somebody else.
craziest thing is how true John Oliver is to his sense of humor over time. the style hasnt changed much cuz it didn't have to... quality journalist + quality humor in a weird unique John Oliver kind of way!
Who else binge-watched all episodes in like 2 days from release?
The Danube Waltz was made for fish cannon
Salmon cannon is perfect. *chef's kiss*
Does anyone know when we can expect the next seasons to drop?
Even though I have seen ALL of them already, when they were aired, I really can't wait to watch them again. This is such great entertainment!
In an interview he said they’d drop a new season each time they take a week off
The salmon bit is like a time capsule of a specific era of tv
This is so awesome, I get to watch the ones I've missed!
I came here for the fish cannon.
If you suffered a concussion from John Olivers salmon cannon you may be entitled to compensation!!
A National Treasure for all topics he and his staff, Paws of Justice, and more cover. When the EP ended with the year 2015 I checked my 2024 calendar and died a little inside. Thanks for making Sundays so very worth looking towards for so long, even if I'm ancient
So great! Thank you for sharing it again 😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The fish cannon was the best use of fish as props since Monty Python's legendary Fish Slapping Dance bit.
This makes my day I love the hustle John
The '98 Mazda 626 has those swinging vents in the dashboard. Can recommend.
I require a small documentary about how to get got the salmon bit to work. I have so many questions.
Salmon F'ing Cannon.
Damn this crazy
Love you john.
Hey it’s Monty Pythons fish slap dance on steroids 🎉😂
I need Season 2 now.
16:20 A lost man turned 98, he won the lottery… died the next day.
The theme song having words will never not be funny.
John please do this video updated! I work for a lottery company and I’d love to share more info with you on this
I miss this format of the show.
Still adore LWT, but this was the best iteration of the format imo.
At the end, he got clocked right in the balls with a salmon. Physical comedy is still so very simple and effective
Thanks HBO!!
Lol if I ever win the lottery or hit a jackpot, I would want to stay anonymous to but I wouldn’t go in with a bag over my head 😂 I know a lot of people who will attempt to take advantage of me or only notice me when they need my hand and company
Thank you LWT for uploading the entire first season! I hope for more but either way, I will NOT pay HBO for this show.
Wait: were there lyrics being sung to the theme song, there at the end? Amazing! I wanna know them and sing them every time!!
I found it! It’s “Go!” by Valley Lodge, and it’s fun! Ha ha!
No one:
Me: " I have a Salmon cannon.."
The funniest thing Jimmy Fallon's ever done.
Ok, I’ve binged them all. I made this comment elsewhere but let me shout into the void again: WE NEED AN ORAL HISTORY OF THIS FIRST SEASON! Seth Myers did one for his 10th and I’ve heard John talk about it a little. (One of the early notes was “you know you don’t HAVE to do the interview segment” 😬). We NEED to watch John as he watches himself do some of these things. (I forget the ep but he’s dancing in front of a live band?).We need to hear the back and forth with the lawyers. We need to hear what negotiations on why a show that is a guy sitting behind a desk needs to hire a full band or a full mascot suit or tens off pounds of raisins. We need to hear the deafening silence when they told HBO that episode two of their comedy show was about…capital punishment. We also need follow-ups on a lot of these stories. Oh and bloopers/outtakes….
If my demands are not met I will bring my Jackal Army from tormenting Seth to traumatizing John and his show here on TH-cam!
