I LOVE this show. Shining light on extremely important matters with awesome comedy and unsight.
😂😂😂😂😂
Flint, Michigan incident happened 10 years ago... and they still do not have clean drinking water.
Concern about kids... my ass
Flint has had it rough because the state government is still not doing enough.
They do have clean drinking water now, though...
@zdelrod829 till date, no one from the previous government has been persecuted for their crimes. And neither democrat or republican governments have done anything for them.
It's the universal political method: need something done/stopped? Say it's about protecting kids. Also the universal political lie: nobody gives a shit about kids
Do you really believe you have two parties??? Haha.. so inocent its cute!
Ooof, that Israel reference aged like milk.
Was about to say this. He had a couple jabs he got right in S1 and 2 about Ukraine and Russia, but this one was a miss with hindsight.
I was going to say the same.
My thoughts exactly.
Yep especially after they came up with (and published!) their own Madagascar Plan...
In fairness, comparing what happened in Gaza back in 2016 with the Holocaust is not remotely the same. The situation now is significantly more comparable.
I used to be a Licensed Water Treatment Plant Operator [1986-2010 - PA] ,, and worked in a commercial Environmental testing Laboratory where Lead in drinking water was tested. [2001-2006] and there is one HUGE thing Flint missed in its 'cost savings' efforts:
1) Adjusting the pH water chemistry to go from aggressive to scale-forming by the addition of liquid Sodium Hydroxide [NaOH] at a rate to raise the raw water pH to a point where [along with alkalinity, hardness, dissolved solids, and water temp. Driving the Scale-forming Index to the (+) side.
2) Addition of a Poly Phosphate [AquaMag] as a corrosion inhibitor, like most treatment plants do.
I am so glad you have the power to tell the true without being cancelled.
We appreciate your show🙂
For now, that right may be gone next year.

that speaker of the house is hilarious 😂
john bercow, you should search highlights, worth it :)
At this point, Elmo, Rosita and Oscar would be less of a joke for president than our candidates, John.
Make it happen, John.

Slowly re-watching the descent of civilization
I would LOVE to see him go back to some of the old episodes to discuss how.... innocent things were back then. Rewatching these are absolutely nuts.
8:35 Well, that aged like milk.
Free Palestine
Yeah… not nazi level yet… but getting there.
Every single episode of this show makes me grateful I don't live in America.
We don't need you.
🫣😜🤌🏾
SAME!
Life there is pretty good if you're rich, white, male, straight and from an influential family.
@@buca9696I'm all of those things ...my life is not great.
It's not the America it used to be.
You know its an old episode by how not gray his hair is. Bird gray. Gray bird.
John Oliver, you are a fine human being. We need more people like you.
Those comments about the treatment of Palestine have not aged well at all.
Ok
@@Hayanomie This is a weird comment for someone who has commented on every single one of these reuploads of eight year old episodes complaining that they didn't talk about Syria to make.
I was just looking for this comment... Yep, they did not age well - hell, they weren't good even back than, as Israel's harsh treatment of Palestinians (which cannot be described as anything but Apartheid), did not start after October 7th.
@@Izandaia thank you
Yeah we get it, these episodes aren't current. Retroactively sue them, I guess.. or put a sock in it with the "aged well" parroting
this is the big corporate future.
scotus made sure of that
good luck america
We are so screwed man
@@Onigirlii hate to admit it..but i think you might be right.I live in Europe,and am pretty old,...but i cant remember the USA ever being this far off the track in my lifetime. Seems like there is no moral compass anymore,and truth doesnt seem to matter,since Trump appeared. Its all just division and hate...no teamwork whatsoever. I am worried for the future..If you can not see the danger,you are not paying attention. Truth matters,i always thought.But with the internet the lies just spread like wildfire. And even the most dishonest and crazy people have a worldwide platform.No scrutiny.USA,please get back to some kind of normal way of treating your fellow countryman or -woman. Or your ship will sink.
I need a super edit of every single time John says "HOLY SHIT!" after a clip he's shown 😂😂😂
The MP stalking off reminded me of a contestant getting squeezed off "The Weakest Ĺink" 😅
I hadn't thought about it... shouldn't home insurance be on the hook to remove/replace homes with lead paint?
If you coated your car in arsenic, would your insurance cover it? Probably not since you did it on purpose.
@@Uruz2012 the people that live in those homes didn't paint the walls with lead paint, the builders and previous owners did. lead paint was banned somewhere between then 1960s or 70s
@@Uruz2012if you havent built the house,or not e en an owner but renting it...
Congratulations!! Your ability to bring up NONSENSE SOCIAL & PERSONAL MISTAKES or drawbacks in such a clear and humorous ways is truly amazing!!
Thank you! 👍👍👍👍
The joke about the israel and palestine comment aged like milk left in the car…on a hot summer day…in Texas lol
8:44
Not to defend anything else the president of turkey has said but in 2014 there was an Israeli Palestine conflict that resulted in over two thousand deaths the majority of wich were Palestinians.
Right now we are in the midst of repeated Israeli attacks on Gaza. Craig Mokhiber a former director for the UN has stated it as "a textbook genocide". A group being the victim in one situation does not prevent them from being perpetrators in another.
Here is a link to donate e-sims
It used to be the Gaza Strip just a few decades ago. Now it's so much smaller, it's no longer strip shaped.
Israel has the right to defend itself.
"Textbook genocide" isnt self defence
we're not even in the midst of it, its so much worse this time around
@@bristoled93Do they have the right to do literal Nazi stuff like come up with and publish their own Madagascar Plan to forcibly remove all the Palestinians to somewhere they don't have to deal with them?
Elmo almost made me cry, with his offer of money.
There should be reaction videos of John watching his old stuff... Seeing how right he was and still nothing has changed haha
That sounds like a terrible idea, he needs to take care of his mental health or he'll turn into George Carlin. No offense to him and his legacy, but that bitterness overcame his sense of humor in the end. But I see your point lol
British political meetings remind me of monty python. It’s like a satirical play.
Who thought Erdogan's quote about Gaza would actually age well.
So you are saying that the war in Gaza has surpassed the holocaust?
@@apilolomi4354yes. And by lenght of time too. What? You think this only happens since oct 7th ,2023!?
@@nurlindafsihotang49 even if you count the entire time since Israel was established, the number of Palestinians that have been killed is millions less than the Holocaust. the only way you can say its worse is if you're doing Holocaust denial, which wouldnt be shocking coming from Erdogan
@@apilolomi4354 No. But I am NOW saying that you clearly have comprehension issues.
@@apilolomi4354It's definitely on par. They have concentration camps in Israel for the detainees (which are so crowded they started releasing random people out of them including the Al Shifa hospital director). They had their own contingency plan to deport all Palestinians to Africa (a la the Nazis). They are revenge settling land they don't own in the West Bank because countries are recognizing the Palestinian state. Idk, feels very ethnic cleansing to me
I’d be intrigued to see what johns thoughts on erdogan’s Israel comment now are because the thinking behind what erdogan said is a common belief espoused by others such as Norman Finkelstein who I’d be inclined to believe John would agree with on the matters of Israel Palestine
I was just thinking the same thing. It's deeply strange to see just how many things haven't aged at all in this show and how many things have
Well, you gotta admit Israel has done a lot of really bad shit in the last 5 years compared to what it had done in the rest of it's history, most of the western countries didn't give much of a shit about Palestine until 2023
Are you forgetting that Turkey has committed genocide against Kurt's for decades. Erdogan has no right to compare Israel to Nazi Germany.
Israelis (like all people, not a monolith, I mean some not all) have always had a complicated history with Nazis and white supremacy. There are some Israelis who moved to South Africa back when Israel was the only supporter of the South African apartheid government. And they were totally in line for the white supremacist government there. In their mind, Hitler was just focused on the wrong races!!
Wow, remember when russia and ukraine weren't at war?
yes, but it wasn't then because they have been since 2014
Petridge farm remembers.
Crimea: am I a joke to you
Russia invaded Crimea in 2014
Technically they’ve been at war since 2014
High heel self defense and water overdose are 2 legit topics tho.
10:02 feeds me. That big Gurbanguli energy comforts me in times of trouble
"We are the Lead Pollice" belongs on "the Flint-stones."
I loved the Sesame Street segment! Too cute/clever!Thanks for caring, Mr.Oliver!
John Oliver, you (and your crew) make this world a better place!
When he mentioned the lead police, l thought of the Cheap Trick song "Dream Police".
as a man the child in me is so happy that sesame street still does what is right for everyone it has never changed. and it still shines, it has shown it still cares about all of us.
10:28 i can watch this for hours
Me here thinking that he dyed his hair and I ran to the comments only to realize "oh". Lol....
Thanks John for brilliantly calling attention to the lead issue. I lived in a house built almost entirely from asbestos cement and worked as a hot metal typesetter handling molten lead all day. Our union thought that free milk every day was all we needed to stay healthy. Times have changed. I then moved to a country that only started taking the lead out of petrol in the late nineties. By all odds I should be a drooling idiot with asbestosis.
Its funny because theres a theory that the prevalence of violence in rome (think colosseum gladiators) was because the aristocracy had lead plumbing. Rome fell.
Not to mention ppl in usa lean more right as they acquire more mental issues. Ex: RFK and trump.
BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!! SS rocks, especially with John in it, :) I am 59 with 5 kids and I STILL was entertained.
😂 he so silly 😜😂😂😂 makes news fun 😂
8 years later and code red is still the second best cherry drink.
If you never drink that shit, it tastes like crap.
Lead was in fuels so the lead industry went to congress.
John looks so young in this video, hard life working that show no doubt!
So the slum landlord didn't have to pay for his improvements, nor do them. We have a government that only pays lip service to the common good while now legally taking money from industry to do nothing.
Regulating industries and stopping businesses from being criminal/evil.
Would make LastWeekTonight obsolete, if that happened
Everything went down hill fast after 2016
As far as that song Putin was referring to in the first segment, is he talking about the second verse of The Internationale?
John Oliver and Jan Böhmermann in the same show? What is this, a crossover episode?
25:36
27:08 | The *ACTUAL* Oscar the Grouch, not that costumed twin of his in the later seasons
I made a playlist in the correct order...

John Oliver!
omg some of those takes did not age well... Thanks so much for those videos
420 views in one hour??? This guy smokes! Also he plays an alcoholic in community
John will have to answer for this coincidence one day!
LEAD - Holeee Sheet So I Worked in a Gold Assay Laboratory Called Acme :D (Super Happy Bout That)
We had every type of Lead around us. Metallic, Vapour, Litharge (PbO), Soluble Lead, etc. Every Type.
We had blood tests once a year and always came up High-Normal. I confirmed this with another test through my doctor. The tests agreed very closely.
Looking back on it there were FAR more Incidents of WorkPlace Violence than would be considered Typical.
I had a guy half my size try to smash me with a large electric motor in a fit of rage. Holding myself back was not easy. What a mess. lol
Facts. We must do ourselves 😉💯
What would your commentary be on lead in aviation fuel?
Super show
Elmo should have bank
Lead, Asbestos, PCBs. I wonder what will be found to be bad in 40 years.
I would guess that we really don't know how carbon fiber will affect the waste stream.
I'm seeing more and more people omit their Oxford commas, and it's just further evidence of our crumbling civilization.
Lead dust, huh? So that’s why so many Americans vote for Trump…
This shit happened years ago
if you told JohnO 20 years ago that he would eventually be singing with muppets, i wonder if he would have stayed in show biz. (keep in mind what the word muppet means in UK )
That lead stares from the boomers
Is John using a filter, or did the Magical Goldfish grant him eternal youth?
It's from season 3. They're uploading all the old episodes.
Any week John is off air, the upload an old season.
How old is this episode
I'm sure this will be shocking to you,but ! Its all about money,the people,companies and governments want to keep as much as they can regardless of who it hurts as long as it's not them !
you have nothing else to post other then replays?
Re earlier comment.....bercow has not been the speaker of the house for several years.
Cope and seethe, John, Cope and Seethe.
You missed your calling John. Shoulda had a children’s show.
The great thing about America is that we expose our problems to the world. It makes us confront the truth about our society and shortcomings. That’s how we solve these issues. The ugly reality is sometimes embarrassing but is no longer hidden from site. It forces us to deal with it. Wherein is the real strength of the United States. Since we have such a diverse population. We get different views and ways to deal with our problems. We’ll get everything from a European perspective, Chinese, African, Russian to Alaskan Inuit. This is how and why we are strong.
9th episode, hope to hear an update on Syria 😀
Edit: 7:20 Tell them which migrants Angela Merkel wants Erdogan to keep out of Europe, John. I appreciate "haha Erdogan bad" is a nice joke but right underneath Turkiye was a man literally gassing his people and you ditched the entire subject this season.
The US decided to stay out of that one, sorry bro. Had it not been Assad, it would've been the US you're blaming, or maybe ISIS. Meanwhile, the anti war protesters and coalitions have been there the entire time since 2001, and all the way back to 1969. No one listened. We will never live in the time line where the right words were said for your country, you will have to reckon with that for your own sanity.
@@subcitizen2012 thankfully I'm removed from the direct conflict so my life doesn't depend on it. I'm able to cope myself but I need to raise awareness because ever since 2016 the narrative totally flipped on Syrians and a new generation has sprung up that doesn't know Assad's terror and defend him and Putin
Ya.. Maybe he was right about Bibi's government.
13:15😊 it’s worse than that John; I tried out the watermelon version of Mountain Dew in 2021 and… It was absolutely freaking disgusting!
The Erdogan quote is a mistranslation. Theres a quote of the Prophet Muhammad that paradise lies at the feet of mothers, and it's very well known in the Muslim world. He is saying a twist on that. Not that he literally kissed and smelled his mother's feet, but that mothers (e.g. women) have such a high status.
@9:00 mayyyyyybe might've been wrong on that one there bud, given more modern context. Might've been the only accurate thing Erdogan said.
Seeing that Q&A session by Putin is a sobering reminder that he was always an out of touch lunatic. It just took starting a land war in Europe and an interview with right wing media's most kickable face to prove how dangerous he had become.
Dear John, I do love you with all my heart and soul, but please, please don’t use words russia and borscht in one sentence anymore, I beg you!
If I die tomorrow under the bomb shelling, you may consider this my dying wish 😅
Y'all I think Putin might be dead. That's definitely not Putin.
Putin video from 2016?
Kinda late to roast that don't you think
👇 i do, i should have moved to ireland 😂😂
8:35 I hate when Erdogan is right.
The Republican resistance to protecting poor people by actually investing money or supporting regulations or legislation that protects them is part of their "new Christian" interpretation of Deut.7.
“
If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.
The Christian Republican Supreme Court has just determined that the references to "brother" unambiguously indicates that it applies only to one's siblings blessed with male genitalia. Anyone not qualifying as a "brother" within this definition is therefore excluded.
The Israel-Palestine comment aged very well.
Nonsensical import from UK. Utterly ridiculous
