Watching this really was a strange experience. I am a German pharmacist, and in Germany, EVERY SINGLE pharmacy MUST be able to compound drugs. It's law that every pharmacy must have a chemical lab for raw material quality control and a designated room for preparing customized drugs on doctor's prescriptions. Every pharmacy student learns how to prepare ointments, suppositories, capsules, etc., and every pharmacist does this later on a daily basis. Our pharmacies are strictly controlled by state agencies, and surprise visits by inspectors are not uncommon. I had not known it is so different in the US....
Thats part of the problem with being ground breaking in regulation. If we're first you can often get things wrong and if you don't change then it's not great.
@@princesscaraful yeah, my best friend works at a pharmacy (in Germany) and in training, they learn about the chemical components and stuff. They learn how to mix and make ointments, salves, creams, etc. I did that once too during a work experience at our local pharmacy. We were allowed to make our own hand lotions.

For me, a European, every single episode of John Oliver is like "look what doesn´t work in the USA and works great in Europe" - compounding pharmacies are no exception - in Czech Republic, almost every community pharmacy is equipped with at least a basic lab, every hospital pharmacy is equipped with a lab suitable to make every possible drug form - from the simplest (hard capsules, creams, ointments, suppositories, vaginal suppositories) to the most sophisticated and advanced - sterile eye preparations, intravenous or intrathecal solutions or patient-adjusted-dose chemotherapy drugs. There is no possibility of wasting and misusing money, because these compounded medicines are usualy fully reimbursed by the public health insurance and if they are not, there are strict criterias why is that so and every insurance company is watching over its funds. And every compounding pharmacy must meet State Institute For Drug Control´s (It´s our national FDA) requirements for the quality of the medicines made and the lab equipment. Works just fine!

If you make healthcare system for-profit, then don't be surprised when people are doing all kinds of shady things to harm patients just to make money, that's why healthcare should never be for-profit in the first place.
Yea well about that, no one thinks or deludes themselves into thinking its health care. Most folks know it's just another source of pushback and stress, and ya might get something covered or get some treatment from time to time. It's not a health care system. It's just a for profit producer of goods and services.

@@Icariusinfinium *Why are all "medicine" cabinets in bathrooms then... Someone needs to talk to the architects asap* Poor design for sure.

Shout out to John Oliver for this segment on compounding pharmacies. I didn’t know places like this existed and it’s something to keep my eyes out for.
They're the only place you can go to for a lot of pet medications. Pet medications are a huge thing now, and regular pharmacies can carry low doses of insulin, etc. Thing is, there wasn't any demand for that even 10 years ago.
Same. In the beginning I thought "Oh neat, I have issues with a lot of medications, maybe these places would be good for me"... Then by the end I was thinking "Oh... uh... no, thank you."
Me: WTF is a compounding pharmacies and why should I care? Oh well, it's John Oliver so I guess I'm watching anyway. (watches video) Me: Where did I put my pitchfork?
Me: Sounds cool, but I wish I would have spent 2 minutes reading an article about it, instead of watching 20 drawn-out minutes filled with jokes repeating what obviously was the odd or funny part.
This show and it's report on how compounding pharmacies need more oversight is part of the market regulating itself. As of this comment, nearly 800,000 people have seen the video and can be a part of the process for each state to implement stricter guidelines for these businesses. Just because it's not linear, doesn't mean capitalism can't get the job done.
@@zacfoo Several years ago, this selfsame show did an episode on how much food gets thrown away by various food companies. Not to mention all the many documentaries from years past about similar food production atrocities in the States (Food, Inc, Fed Up, Hungry For Change, etc). So I guess I can rest assured that the many problems in the food industry that those films addressed have since been rectified. Phew! Close one!

@@couragekarnga8735 Understand that like most government agencies 99% of the agency is dedicated to and takes their job seriously. Where agencies like the FDA fail is at the top (where the people in charge are selected by congress and the president rather than based on qualifications), and funding, which is almost always less than half of what is necessary to do the work they're tasked with. So to say it's "in the pocket of corporations" isn't exactly fair... Rather you have a whole lot of good people that have to appease a boss that's constantly changing, probably meddling, and has a 50/50 chance of having no clue or fucks to give about doing a good job.

I had severely chronic hives with my last pregnancy and am lucky enough to live a block away from the only compounding pharmacy in my city. It was the only place I could get a topical cream made that helped relieve the itching I experienced, and the drug I had prescribed was completely safe. It simply wasn't something manufactured that I could order. I've had to go back to this pharmacy for other needs as well, and have never had issues. (The medication was also far cheaper than name brand drugs I've needed for other health issues.)
@Luis D. Capitalism kills 10m+ people a year :) Capitalism also created poverty as we know it, so relieving the same poverty is hardly as impressive from that pov
I have a dog sick with a fungus called 'Valley Fever'. At every single commercial pharmacy, it was going to cost almost $100 dollars a month for his meds. We kind of panicked. The Compounding pharmacy my vet sent me to filled a three month script for $115. I walked into the pharmacy, and one whole wall looking into the lab is glass. I stood there and watched the techs in masks, gloves, and sterile uniforms, making meds. The lab was spotless. It was beyond what I was expecting...I was wondering why they had a glass wall. Now I know: open to scrutiny. I guess my dog and I both got lucky, me because I get to keep him feeling good and happy and I get to enjoy him for several years yet, and him because he doesn't have to die because I can't afford a thousand dollars a year to keep him alive.
I'm starting to get to the point (partly because of this very show) where I'm sincerely shocked beyond belief that humanity is even remotely stable. Just imagine if we could solve _every single_ issue this show has brought up over the years. We'd be substantially closer to a more perfect nation.
the depressing part (for me at least) is that even if we were to merely attempt... ATTEMPT... to solve these problems to achieve a more perfect nation you would get criticized for being a utopian. You would get ridiculed for being unrealistic and you would be mocked for being an idealist. So there it is. Nothing will ever change. Nothing will ever get better.
You said that 4 years ago. Nowadays, we don't say it is remotely stable anymore. It isn't. Things are pretty fucked up. World war, pandemics, climate disaster and shit. All happening. But we still have piñas coladas.

@@couragekarnga8735 Understand that like most government agencies 99% of the agency is dedicated to and takes their job seriously. Where agencies like the FDA fail is at the top (where the people in charge are selected by congress and the president rather than based on qualifications), and funding, which is almost always less than half of what is necessary to do the work they're tasked with.
So to say it's "in the pocket of corporations" isn't exactly fair... Rather you have a whole lot of good people that have to appease a boss that's constantly changing, probably meddling, and has a 50/50 chance of having no clue or fucks to give about doing a good job.
This show is just "hey another thing you should know that we need to entirely reform"
....that's been running for six years. *shudders*
Also look at this funny Japanese otter mascot
@@iguanaboi3921 But was the break not welcome after that many sessions of being told you live in a money-grubbing Nightmare Realm?
Don’t forget the kids books!

The ending was priceless. That really sold the show.

To be fair, humans are pretty flammable anyway. We're pretty much just bipedal bacon if you think about it.
P S but bacon isn’t THAT flammable, at all.

@@Prizzlesticks mmm humans are very much NOT flammable. If you want to burn a human you really have to try. Fire is not an effective way to dispose of a corpse. Humans are just big fleshy water sacks.
I had severely chronic hives with my last pregnancy and am lucky enough to live a block away from the only compounding pharmacy in my city. It was the only place I could get a topical cream made that helped relieve the itching I experienced, and the drug I had prescribed was completely safe. It simply wasn't something manufactured that I could order. I've had to go back to this pharmacy for other needs as well, and have never had issues. (The medication was also far cheaper than name brand drugs I've needed for other health issues.)
sometimes John Oliver makes me feel like the whole of reality is a conspiracy
It is. It’s called capitalism
Well. Reality is stranger than fiction.
@akadeepsea Google "Dunning-Kruger effect", my friend. And weep.
I mean, according to Elon, it’s more likely than not that all of life is some sort of huge simulation, sooo......
@Luis D. Capitalism kills 10m+ people a year :)
Capitalism also created poverty as we know it, so relieving the same poverty is hardly as impressive from that pov
I have a dog sick with a fungus called 'Valley Fever'. At every single commercial pharmacy, it was going to cost almost $100 dollars a month for his meds. We kind of panicked. The Compounding pharmacy my vet sent me to filled a three month script for $115. I walked into the pharmacy, and one whole wall looking into the lab is glass. I stood there and watched the techs in masks, gloves, and sterile uniforms, making meds. The lab was spotless. It was beyond what I was expecting...I was wondering why they had a glass wall. Now I know: open to scrutiny. I guess my dog and I both got lucky, me because I get to keep him feeling good and happy and I get to enjoy him for several years yet, and him because he doesn't have to die because I can't afford a thousand dollars a year to keep him alive.
Yeah, Daniel O'Brien! Good to see his face again. I miss OPCD.
I was gonna say, I've seen that guy arm fucking a robot before.
Yes i was immediately like!!! I miss the ol' cracked team
Good to see the gang is around. I have dob got some bread from that lil camio
Or, in his own words, Deanie o'Beanie
I'm glad I checked the comments before making the same one. Dan O'Brien fanclub, real old cracked.com hours
holy shit the ending.
Must've been a fun pitch on the phone.
_LastWeekTonight_ teaches me about things I never even knew were things.
David Schwimmer and his reactions to the other celebrities is my favorite part of this video. Incredibly well done!
Someone in the comments called you a British puffin and I’m here for it
I'm starting to get to the point (partly because of this very show) where I'm sincerely shocked beyond belief that humanity is even remotely stable. Just imagine if we could solve _every single_ issue this show has brought up over the years. We'd be substantially closer to a more perfect nation.
It's even more sad because the EU has most of this shit already solved lol
So true!
@@decoy110-0 wow 🙌
the depressing part (for me at least) is that even if we were to merely attempt... ATTEMPT... to solve these problems to achieve a more perfect nation you would get criticized for being a utopian. You would get ridiculed for being unrealistic and you would be mocked for being an idealist. So there it is. Nothing will ever change. Nothing will ever get better.
You said that 4 years ago. Nowadays, we don't say it is remotely stable anymore. It isn't. Things are pretty fucked up. World war, pandemics, climate disaster and shit. All happening. But we still have piñas coladas.
Am in Pharmacy school. Can confirm. "Don't put the pills where you poop" is lesson 1.
J.D. Olivet haha
what about suposit...you know never mind.
The word pill implies using the oral route
Bingo!
Me: what a cute parrot-
John oliver: YOU BASIC BIRD
J C We talking Paris Hilton basic
The feathers falling animation killed me when they got hit by basic.
That’s rich coming from him
If John isn't grievously insulting random animals, then why would we even watch this show?
Well he was a better parrot. Even though he lost the King's son.
0:14 Dan O'Brien writes for Last Week Tonight? Cool, nice to see his Webby getting him some work
He also makes appearances on Michael Swaim's podcast chanel. (smallbeans)
Love you Dan! I miss your old formats 😢
I'm only here to see if anyone else noticed him.
@@MahkubAMNai i didnt, but my brain sure did
Yeah, and Dan Gurewitch and Owen Parsons of Collagehumor work on the show too. Strong writing is probably the reason for all the Emmy wins.
David Schwimmer: WTF!
Me: Can you imagine how Friends would be if they were allowed to swear?!
Just watch the first episode of Band of Brothers. David Schwimmer drops some bombs.
They used to swear but sparsely
It would still have sucked a lot?
Alexandru Papara re: swearing on prime time. I know Netflix has less rules to abide by, but it truly surprised me, as I binge-watched The Witcher, starring Henry Cavill, just how often they dropped the “F” bomb. Hmmmm? Gratuitous Language is it even historically accurate? Just throwing a rando ? Out
@@MsDanie-wo5tw Here in Norway we have said fuck/faen for over 1000 years and before that they probably used some other word. :P FYI, most nations do not have the cencorship USA has. In my nation they do not regulate speech on TV.
However you wont find swearing in kids shows, or the news unless they are interviewing a citizen who swears. They have common sense.
Tbh a normal dinner conversation with my family would be to rough language to air on US TV. Thats kinda hillarious.
John: “Don’t put your pills where you poo”
Suppository: Am I a joke to you?
ahahahahahaha
Beat me to it HAHA
OMG I'M DYING 🤣
Well, technically you're a *suppository* thus not a pill...
@@baardkopperud there are pills that you take the same way...
Seeing Ross saying "wtf" made my day
Igancio Muñoz same
My life is now complete after hearing Ross drop the f bomb
Yeah that sounded super weird lmao
@@SRosenberg203 yes! Felt really weird, but awesome at the same time
I've been rewatching OPCD lately, and even though it's just a picture of him, I couldn't be happier seeing my boy Daniel O'Brien again!
me too! it just randomly showed up in my recommendations one day... i think the yt algorithm glitched or smth lol
I love seeing dan O’Brien on last week tonight! I loved him when he was on after hours and it’s great to see him on one of my other favorite show!
Jimmy Kimmel: And my name belongs on the Emmy for best late night talk show that someone else keeps winning.
LMMFAO
Did he actually say that?
@@Popsjoernalist Yes =D

"dont put the pills where you poop"
suppository: aight imma head out
Well, now I know what a suppository is...
@@couragekarnga8735 how old are you?
What is a suppository?
A kiester çure, butt bullet.
@Quaker274 isn't it too early to be a dick? I thought it was common knowledge to anyone over a certain age, but apparently that got your shit going, so I guess you don't need a suppository.
LMFAO!! And THIS is why John Oliver wins the Emmy every goddamn year!!!!!!!
As he should! And Bravo to everyone behind, Last Week Tonight, the greatest show on TV!
That ending with all the celebrities is one of the funniest things I've seen on Last Week Tonight period.
A love triangle between a parrot, Michael Bolton and Methodman. I'd watch it.
Female Eclectus parrots are red though. That was a male. So I guess they swing both ways?
Still a better love story than Twilight.
@@kvonjaco Now it's also a forbidden love... I guess more forbidden.
@@kvonjaco Its weird then that the parrot left Bolton because if I remember right eclectus parrots mate for life?

0:11 DANIEL O"BRIAN WOOOOOOOOO get more of him on there!!!
Good to see he's still getting work these days. Miss that boi.
My first thought!! Literally wasn’t even interested in the topic just wanted to support he show bc Daniel works there. And I love when I can tell which jokes he’s written. I was just thinking the blood pressure joke sounded like him when his picture came up and I was like 😆!!!!!
Dan nice to see him again
You guys should listen to his Podcast with Soren. Quick Question.
Almighty Kue I love his podcast. Been listening since day 1. It’s great
0:11 I always wondered what happened to Daniel O’Brien after Cracked.
Glad to see he’s doing well!
Check his Twitter he’s got a podcast with Soren . And theirs an after hours reboot with Michael swaim .
@@chaoticlady_fairy but what about obsessive pop culture disorders I miss it
I hope his blood pressure is alright.
@@Harutson
Lol, beat me by 7 minutes!
came looking for comments about him. Glad im not the only one
One of your best episodes! Well deserved Outstanding Variety Emmys. Keep them coming
That celebrity montage was the best thing I've ever seen on TH-cam.
Right! I wonder how many takes it took Kiefer to say his dark bit without cracking up, bc he was smiling but trying to look menacing so hard!
still amazed Americans are cool with torture . FUN TIMES. MAGAAAA
Schwimmer was a great straight-man, which is something often lacking from these kinds of things.
Really? They all look like they have malnutrition and botox.
"That song was about a lady parrot!"
*holds up a picture of, and then an actual living, male parrot*
ToastAndJellyfish he was literally holding a female of the same fkin species like 5 seconds ago too... Solomon Eclectus, lovely birbs, but a bit too territorial (had a male named Bunky, adorable but bites as you'd expect for a nutcracking species)
So glade I wasn’t the only bird nerd who noticed :-)
ToastAndJellyfish he’s chirping the bird community and trying to ruffle up some feathers for cheap laughs .... and I love it 😅
I do love Michael Bulton. Always thought he was black haha.
For the uninitiated, what are the criteria that give the sex away?
It’s the American Dream: anything for a buck, no matter who gets hurt 🇺🇸
Americans love fucing eachother over for money. Killing eachother the legal way but need giant army for imaginary foes.

No, I said what I meant.
“It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

An old joke that isn’t relevant here. The people who’ve made millions by poisoning people were *wide awake* .
adamtzsch Oh, but it is relevant. Because it is those same group of people who are being poisoned that still dream.
Loved seeing Daniel O'Brien from Cracked show up for a second. Glad he was able to find a good job as one of the LWT writers
how come birds get piña colada medicine but we don’t?
Cats get salmon flavored too.
I know!!!
Jackson Sheehan LOL! I think the assumption is that you will take them because you know they are good for you. The assumption is WRONG! 🤣😂🤷🏾♀️
I get piña colada. A LOT of piña colada. Then they give me medicine.
I assume we are supposed to take them only when we need to and not because we want to :D
Seeing Daniel O'Brien there in that blood pressure machine graphic made my whole day. I had to pause it because I got so excited! Yay DOB!
Also paused it to make a comment. Finished the video now and am gonna do a rewatch of OPCD and After Hours. God I miss them all...
Luke Taylor me tooo
@@luuketaylor I know it's not the same but if you're jonesing for After Hours you should check out Off Hours on Small Beans.

Well of course. Psychopaths are good at faking normal...
Why wouldn’t he be
What's that supposed to mean? I personally find him really weird and think Ru is normal
Kristen Bell and Method Man are the most normal.
@gshwje aajbw aajwbwbw this belongs in r/brandnewsentence lol
"They asked you to recall your sterile products."
"That's correct."
"And you decided what?"
"No."

IF they're sterile, why give them up? Sterile means sterile, or clean. Or it is supposed to.
oh, and FU Michael Bolton!!
@@NotThatKindaKaren The drugs are marked as sterile but actually weren't because they weren't tested and no one cared to make sure they were sterile.

Good. We need a little more weird in the world. Keep spreading that good crazy!

Just goes to show the guy can take a joke really well. Bolton's a-okay in my book.
That no talent assclown, lol.

The tagline for his JohnnyGel is priceless; *Spread It 'OLIVER' Yourself!* I'm still laughing.
I find it adorable you get that much enjoyment on basic word play! Struggling comedians everywhere would love to have you at their show.
I needed 3 attempts to understand the joke, cos of being very german. 👋🏼
@@sirris4330 I find it telling that you needed to spread your irrelevant negativity on an open forum. What is it your struggling with? Penis envy?
@Frank Heuvelman I enjoyed the play on John's name, the idea that advertising agents might actually have come up with something that banal and that it was slight and not that promoted. Even the friend I watched it with didn't catch it at first.
Humor and it's intensity is in the mind of the beholder. I am not the only one that found that delightful and humorous.
Perhaps, like Sirris, you haven't enough manhood to fill your hungry hand either?
You two need to get laid.
Of course Michael Bolton loves parrots. Everyone knows he's the real Jack Sparrow.
Life is too short to be uptight, also...he is FUCKING RICH FROM MAKING OUR MOMS WET! He doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck about how we judge his music.

Taking bets on what Big Baby Jesus needed from the pharmacy. My bet is antibiotics because he likes it raw.
As a member of D O'B's devotees, it made me so happy to see him in that graphic
0:10 a Wild Daniel “DOB” O’Brien appears. 😆
was wondering what he was doing here
@@austinlee3964 He writes for the show now!
Glad he found a good job after the shitstorm that was Cracked on TH-cam
I was like "WHOA!" Good for him, glad he's doing well! I still miss his writing and acting for Cracked, but happy he's doing well now
Now I finally know what he is up to. My absolute favorite from Cracked
"Don't put the pills where you poop." John doesn't seem a fan of suppositories.
Any drug can be a suppository if you're brave enough
Lol beat me to it
I laughed way too hard at this comment.
Just got my sims to stop doing dishes there
Welcome to humanity, we sometimes shove medicine up our ass.
Schwimmer needs to realize that Bolton and the bird were NOT ON A BREAK!!!
hahahahaha
Missed opportunity right there
They were on a beak 😂
Typical John Oliver formula: "Here's something that sounds awesome and obvious that it should work. How do they f#ck it up?" I love this guy.
last week tonight: this thing you've never heard of before is killing us!
You’re not wrong.
@Hymaungdr It is pretty much every video.
Ummm... Isn't that the point tho??
"Don't put the pills where you poop"
How else am I supposed to take this suppository!?
I was hoping he'd stick in a suppository exception... Might have been a tight fit due to the segment's time constraints. I guess he had to pass on it. ^_^
Finally a follow up to Mikhail Bolotins greatest hit.
Orally
I gave the 69th like! What do I win? :D
Well played.
Great job once again bringing an underappreciated issue to the audiences attention, you're doing good!

Kyle who’s that
It made me just happy enough. I hope he's doing well!
@@socktier6334 He is a fantastic writer who worked for Cracked.com for a long time.

I just hadn't heard anything about him in a while.
I miss seeing Daniel O'Brien sometimes 😢 gonna go rewatch After hours after this 😁👍🏼
