I’m glad we were able to learn from the Ebola outbreak and avoided any possible pandemics in the future
I am sure Ebola would have been way worse if Obama was out and trump was in. Obama was level-headed and listened to the experts. trump on the other hand followed his own playbook and ridiculed and turned the public against the experts.
*slow clap* 😂
Good🤣🤣🤣🤣
the pain is real
Let's not forget the spitting in mouths rant from John. Hey, John. They'll charge you for assault buddy! 😅 #covid
John looks so youthful, and painfully British.
Yet none of that has changed in 10 years…
@@SirEvilestDeath Nah dude. He looks soooooo much older now. It almost like I'm looking at my grandpa
@@Dave_of_Mordorhe got the obama treatment
So very painfully British. (Love you, John)
Unlike now, where the only difference is that he's older
RIP Grant Imahara
Came down to comment the same thing 😭 grew up loving mythbusters and learning about the scientific method and he was a legend. Honestly..dudes just collecting a paycheck, I don't blame him, he gets a pass.
What's depressing is a decade later and we STILL left thousands of interpreters out to dry there when we pulled out
There's some groups and veterans personally trying to get them all out but it's insane
Johns covered the many many flaws of our country over the years and we've barely addressed any of them in the last decade from healthcare to the broken supreme Court, to this and other BS
The Supreme Court report is timeless and one of the funniest sketches ever! Perfect example why you win so many Emmys. Thank you for bringing old episodes back 😂
Rest in peace, Grant. We miss you 😢
Do not!
the dog Supreme Court is one of their best skits ever.
I wish for that young man that he realizes he didn't fail his father we did as a country 😢
Went to google what happened to the translators -
"It's estimated as many as 300 interpreters died in Afghanistan during this time while waiting for visas. As the Taliban closed in on securing the country as the U.S. withdrew, roughly 20,000 interpreters and their families were still attempting to reach the United States." [Sep 1, 2022]
At least Srosh got to the US; another translator who did, got killed in DC after resettling.
How did he die in DC? By the taliban or an accident.
@@laurel1865Random act of violence. He had a second job as a Lyft driver(his first being tow truck driver), and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Does suck though, evade all that noise in Afghanistan , ducking out the taliban, only to get randomly shot and killed doing your job, trying to feed your family and send money back to your peoples in your homeland.
@@ruekurei88boi u better stop lying 😮 give me certified source.
@@masterpieces2218 Google it. It's literally what I did, and you can easily do the same. His name is 'Nasrat Ahmadyar' if you want an easier time of googling it. Sources should be rather abundant and include CNN, The Guardian, CBS News, Washington Post, New York Post, Daily Mail, AL Jazeera, Fox News, Business Insider, Daily Beast, People, NPR, Washington Insider and other news sources covering it.
@@masterpieces2218 Look up Nasrat Ahmadyar. It's not that hard to look this sort of thing up. I literally typed in "translator shot in DC" and it was one of the first things to pop up. If you're going to be dismissive of others, you should at least do your due diligence of a 30 second google search.
Pretty gross to see what happened with the passage of time and our disgusting abandonment of our partner forces.
RIP Grant
S1 E21 (aired October 19, 2014)
Hero
And a decade later, it still applies to current events.
YT is reairing these episodes and many other episodes also. because YT is a fucking joke. and they apparently have hired some complete MORON'S to handle their software.
I really hope we figured this stuff out and got translators out of there before we left, but I have a feeling that we didn’t
Here in the South, we're beyond polite to the point where we've weaponized politeness(we call it "manners"). If a Southerner ever says "Bless your heart" to you, you are being viciously publicly mocked. Cheerio!
Been here for every episode. Good to be together with friends again.
Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
5:26 damn, watching this with Grant Imahara feels very weird, I love the original MythBusters and still do. RIP 🪦
1:31 and that is the last time we ever had bats giving us diseases. Yup. Lessons learned.
The disgusting part about the citizenship for interpreters is this. Ask any service member who was in boot camp with an immigrant and how quick they became citizens after the Chaplin asks “who wants to become a citizen”. Here’s a hint. It took only HOURS to make them citizens.

RIP Grant Imahara. He was such a great guy, it's such a shame that those McDonald's ads were the last thing I saw him in.
I think he's in white rabbit project with Torry and karey
Fun fact: Nina Pham survived and eventually sued the hospital for not providing her with the proper PPE to keep her safe. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
I still love the 1st season intro, every bit of it ❤
The duck got me. 😂
Have I been trapped in a time warp?
Punxsutawney John.
@@FrankBenlin😂 good one.
I'm really enjoying the old videos.
Only John Oliver could set up a kiosk in New York City. and actually catch serial killer Ronald McDonald. that was totally hilarious.
Thought of this episode recently when I was at my written driver's exam and heard the proctor call the name Fnu. "Oh, no, that's not really their name..."
I'm glad the US at least took all precautions to take translators and others who had helped them to safety as they pulled out of Afghanistan. Oh, wait.
We need an updated animal supreme court 😂
The dogs court just got me so bad. 😂😂😂 👏 👏
I miss when this show had guests
Omg the supreme court thing was F-ing hilarious 😂
I once worked with an ex-translator named "Fnu". He never revealed the backstory. Mind now blown.
I’ve commented this before but at some point in the first 5 minutes of EVERY episode I laugh out loud!
Anyone else notice that ads are popping up on the channel now?
(Not a great deal but enough to notice).
The way we have handled the interpreters and other local nationals who helped our forces in Afghanistan is the single most disgraceful thing about that whole fucking war.
I hope this ambitious young man can one day accept that his father's death is NOT his fault. There is a difference between a bad event veing caused by your good actions, and it being your fault.
Man i need the video clips of the puppy court..!
Omg how did i miss the song tends thats gold
What's the temperature like in Guam?
Its...
Nice 😂😂😂
I miss Grant Inahara now ;-;
Can you post the air date for the episodes?
6:39 Ronald McDonald as a serial killer killed me... Lol
Ha ha. Thanks, John.
did a *SUPREME COURT JUSTICE* posit to the room: “if [we gave them a comb] …and theres a SIM card in there, or a ‘ *revolver* ‘ in a 1/2” beard … it’ll fall out.” WHAT WORLD DO WE LIVE IN
God this was good
As a daughter, wife & mother of servicemen I know the American government would’ve pulled family members of American servicemen out of danger so why not the families of those who helped us? It’s shameful & disgusting.
John used to sound like 70s radios
It’s “200 mi.² of storage space” is anywhere near an accurate description of Guam, now I understand exactly why their local Kmart is doing well while virtually every other Kmart has either closed, downsized, or moved to Australia.
Aw. Poor Grant Imahara. RIP.
😂😂😂 Fucking brilliant!😂😂😂
RIP all those involved in the U.S. War effort, who died when abandoned and left to the Taliban.
Didn't Grant die? In July 13, 2020?
OMG these stories about translators are heartbreaking, what a disgrace 😞
The gorilla at :11 reminds me Harambe was still alive back then
I've seen this episode before. I've never been mad at smoke. My stupid fucking government is to blame and just confirms for me that I don't want to live in this country any longer than I absolutely have to.
Greg Imahara died back in 2020, so either the McDonalds, or this episode is really old!
Season 1 Ep 21 (2014).
Hey mcdonalds, when you bringing back $ menu
6:47 ah yes, I also carry around documents about 7 lawsuits against a corporation in the case I happen to stumble upon a billboard with a recording device.
bring back the supreme kennel!!!
Jesus. He lost his dad. And he blames himself. So sad
Oh if the US wanted to have the translators safe there would be few things that would stand in their way. The thing is, theres no profits in veterans or translators. So they do their best to not pay for them.
Oh, so that's where the Dog Supreme Court came from. Alrighty then.
God....remember ebola....how time has flown by...
Isn't Grant Inmahara dead? (Sorry I butchered his name)
Yes, this is an almost 10 year old episode
Dang Ebola was scary when it was first beginning to spread around Texas.
They brought the donkey back because it reminded the president of himself.
14:53 Wha
Back then when the Supreme Court was slightly conservative. Oh the good times.
I really miss the dog Supreme Court.
3?! WTF
17:46 Funny that. As someone without a last name, they also screwed my passport and got my first name into FNU despite all my other legal documents stating "LNU" (Last Name Unknown). But hey, as long as there's a visa
John is my Jesus and Liverpool is my Jerusalem!! 😊
A court Hen-ographer lol
Dog court is a classic LWT
wait did john oliver help the translator?
3:20 💀
Representation of zoomer humor
It is so funny
What is happening
Heaven. Heaven is happening. Just enjoy all the episodes, my brother. 🙌
Angela,is Europe Best.
Ahead of his time on the Afghanistan problem. By contrast with leadership he looks prescient. "Who cOuLd haVe poSsibLy foresEen tHiS?!"
This story is scary when you’re in the middle of a visa application for your wife. 😰😨😱
Hello!
Hey!
"double ebola"
Ps: it’s “Afghan”, not “Afghani”. The latter is their currency.
Damn it's sad to say that he is probably dead unless he got out at some point
ITS GUAM
Ebola jokes well Covid looms on the horizen
mcdonalds pays 1 cent per egg
Technically the bombing of Japan was due to a bad translation
something is wrong
His voice? It seems higher-pitched. Right?
@@vincevilan3525indeed sir, u have excellent observation.
39 minutes ago!!
When you are trying to talk about an issue and you don't know that Afghani is the money and Afghan is the people.
Nina Pham is super hot
A donkey is a farm animal, not a human. Why on earth would it be even comparable to a human? To be clear, I'm 100% in favor of bringing the translators here, but c'mon... You can't compare the two, that's just lazy.
Animals have different diseases, with parasites and problems. Humans usually not. My friend wanted to bring a cat home, it took her months to bring it back. This donkey was allowed to move fast, in comparison to a translator that is not a parasitefilled farmanimal
First
Well. Some poor intern at HBO just got fired.
Nope. They announced they are going to release the good oldies
I was thinking the same thing
This was released over a decade ago
…why?

@@claireali6929 alright I'll do it
Bro or ma'am, do whatever makes you happy. As long as you're not hurting others, I don't care if you bathe in orange juice or lick peanut butter out of a Tickle Me Elmo. Be whoever it is you are
However: 1. Viet Namese didn't have fatwas, nor 2. Plural marriages, nor 3. Trump at the initiation of the process 'saying"... 4. Perhaps America learned a lesson of allowing mass migration w/o proper vetting... Oh. It hasn't.
Let's just take a moment to mention how horrible this intro is. Thanks.
Lol idk if you're kidding but if not that's his old intro his very first one
Edit: yes it was trash
Its the goddamn music 😢
@@masterpieces2218 😄
I love the intro, and I love that it hasn't changed.
(I assume you're talking about the intro music stuff and not the initial talking piece?)
John I think you’re intelligent, funny, and witty. In hindsight I ask how speedily did your citizenship come, were you and your family safe? Did you have to do a fraction of what your guest had to do? Did you do anything heroic like him that saved countless American lives? Was your father killed and your family terrified by the enemies of the USA? No, you got citizenship way quicker because your a comedic liberal talking point that has helped this country in no way and has never experienced being unsafe. You had the balls to bring this hero on your show and talk about how unfair it was for him to get into this country!
It’s ok, buddy. I’m sure this isn’t the first point you missed today.
This episode was Aires 2014. Oliver had lived in the United States since 2006 on various visas and a green card before beginning the lengthy process of becoming a U.S. citizen. Oliver was naturalized as a US citizen on 13 December 2019.
Is this...are you serious right now?
