It's depressing that these 10 year old topics like Ukraine and SCOTUS gay rights still persist and have only gotten worse.
Gays have every right lol
@@Jiff321 Interesting. So you don't feel that your rights deteriorated in the past decade at all? Or just to a lesser extent than expected?
@@monozuki lmao, my youtube is glitched repeating both comments multiple times, and that's just the perfect analogy for the past decades of discourse
Every time I watch a season 1 or 2 episode, I have to look at it again to see the original air date. I keep thinking they're from the past two years.
@@Jiff321Except in china, all of Africa, the middle east, lots of Eastern Europe
12:54 And so, with one joke, the first chapter of the battle between John Oliver and Bob Murray was written.
Opps
holy shit lol had to rewatch the slapp suits. i completely forgot that allen loughrey was a judge for the suit lol
@@SiamAMusicstill can't believe they named their kid Justice
@@jenelaina5665my sons name is justice but it’s from that movie with Tupac
Egypt drop-kicking Russia's national anthem right in front of Putin was just delightful.
It sounds like a high school band
@@benjaminlieberman3932 Half trained by Harold Hill.
11:40 "Bolivia - a country you think about so little, you didn't even realise that's not the Bolivia flag" God i love these geography jokes
They don't work on me as well, but that's mostly because I barely know any flags or countries to begin with so I don't feel particularly spoken to lol
Yes, but how many people went and looked up where the Frack is Bolivia? I’m not saying that I did, I’m just asking how many people did look it up.
I didn't even notice that its the Argentinian flag in the background
@@joerionis5902 it's the uruguayan actually
Wait, hold up - Elected Judges was covered in Season *2* of all years?
HBO has no idea how far this episode is going to pay off.
"PET THE PRETTY PONY!!" John Oliver delivered that line Perfectly!
The episode that solidified the ol’ LWT Geographical Switcheroo. They enjoyed deploying it in the previous episode so much and said “let’s see if we can consistently make our viewers sweat every time we identify a location on the globe.”
Fast-forward to present-day, and I still require a second source any time I see a map.
(Oh, and it’s at 11:22.)
I had forgotten about Roy Pedo-Moore. I don't know if I should thank John or hate him for reminding me.
As a horse girl I’m reluctant to admit that pony ad was super compelling 🐎❤
It was a very pretty pony
Oh look, it's Roy Moore! I am sure this is going to be the last we see of Alabama's most upstanding political candidate....right? RIGHT?
The comments sections for these episodes with their hilarious decades-later commentary is enriching the experience so much. Who thought a comment section could do that?
I know it feels like decades, but this season is 9 years old...
@@kaylab7685 oh my god I HATE that, because 2015 was the year I graduated high school, so next year will officially be one full decade since I’ve been out of school 😳😵💫😩
Thank you for another full episode from the back catalogue from an active HBO customer. 🧡💛🧡
I like how Loughry's ad was so cheap, they didn't even actually have cookies. They just used a picture.
Hilarious that a guy running an ad about justice was eventually tried and convicted of fraud, wire fraud, witness tampering and lying to federal investigators. I guess he meant the justice that would eventually beset him.
The map gag indeed is still fun
Unfortunately the arguments for elected judges only got better with time. Now we have, not one, but 3 SCOTUS judges to be mad about because they were appointed. This episode really has aged like the finest gourmet milk.
Aaand it turns out that Varoufakis was actually pretty good?
Right?? He’s a really good economist. Can’t always just a book by its cover.
*judge. Whoopsie
As a Greek, no. His bluffing led to a bank run, that had to be halted by limiting daily bank withdrawals to 60€ per day.
@@thecommander7552 worth the try. its still better than accepting everything without any pushback
@@thecommander7552 Either you don't understand what a bank run is or you missed the New Democracy (right-wing party and currently government) spokespersons back in 2015 that were publicly urging the depositors to withdraw their money and to stop paying taxes.
You also need to google Mario Draghi and ELA.
Hilarious to see John rip Yanis Varoufakis a new one on the greek economy 10yrs ago, only to realise they would be on the same side on most issues today. Absolute legends, both of them
I can’t wait for John to cover this year’s British elections 😂
You don’t have to wait anymore
4:05 depressingly relevant should be the catchphrase for these old episodes
Fun fact: since I am watching this during local election time, I actually saw a campaign ad for a judge during the ad break of this video.
Watching these in retrospect is so eye opening
Last Week Tonight has taught me all I know of geography.... I don't know where ANY country is!
I finally recognized the first location as Brazil (at least in ww11) because of a simulation game I play and felt so smart lol
Thank you for including the whole show,some days I forget or call it a day and miss the show
I'm really loving watching these back, but finding it a little irritating I have to manually click into each episode in order to watch them chronologically. The playlists on the hcannel are newest to oldest so I keep pulling episodes into a playlist so I can watch uninterrupted
“Whoopsies!” - John Oliver
Trying to get info on judges before an election in CA is mostly impossible. So what are you supposed to vote ON?
Why did a Greek politician refer to the character as Ulysses? That's the _Latinized_ name for Odysseus; people in general are more familiar with the name Odysseus, and it's very weird to hear a Greek politician use the Roman name for a Greek character.
Might be because he's speaking English and there's a famous book in that language (though written by an Irishman) called Ulysses... so that's probably where he got the idea that's the name people will be familiar with.
That Greek fiance minister has style tho. I'd want to steal his blue button down + black trench coat look and live my masc femme fashion dreams. 😂
"could u wait 'til I'm done." LOL I've always wondered if they think like that. Classic
I was all on board with John Oliver until he came after dill... That's a cardinal sin in my book.
The Baltic countries want to know John Oliver's address...
I was about to grab my dill right before he said that, too.
Only thing im learning from watching the entire episodes is how much of a BOP the theme song is
Please fix the playlist to go in order when you play it!
If you wait till after the credits, the next ep is there to be tapped.
Quit being a baby lol, just go click the video you'd like to watch. Or download them in the other order
Create your own playlist if the order is so important to you. Just be thankful the episodes are being uploaded at all.
+
I will not hear any Yanis slander!
What's your beef with Dill? That sh**s delicious
That Ikea reference with Divorce judges...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How dare John insult Yanis
Oh hey I remember Loughfry from the SLAPP suits episode
SEASON TWO, GOD BLESSSSS!!
The Stevie Nicks joke had me cracking up 😂😂😂25:30
was watching this while gaming and thought john was talking about Dil Pickles, of rugrats fame, at 11:02 . got very confused
The labor party won me over. I want to pet the pretty princess pony!!!
I just realized the pony ad is voiced by John and he's doing a British accent over his😂
I could watch a show starring that sheep and goat. 😂😂😂
Oof, that Varoufakis bit... aged un-well.
why so ?it was the funniest part of the episode and still rings true .
@@dkaloger5720 it feels a little mean spirited by the standards of the show, and I think that they would probably have a different take with more knowledge of the situation. Granted, a lot of that info became more widely known in the years since.
@@N1CKSO true ,the bit was a bit exaggerated ,but it was funny
11:40 as another layer to the geography joke. That's Uruguay's flag in the background, not Bolivia's.
Omg, the pretty princess pony 😂 I remember that!
I think John screaming “PET THE PRETTY PONY” was the first truly worrying sign his sanity was starting to crack in this career.
From the happy days before we knew judicial corruption went all the way to the top.
I'm high asf it took me 5 minutes to realize this was not a new episode
"This game is never not gonna be fun!"
I wonder if he knew how right he was.
the goat sheep segment was amazing
Mr. Nutter Butter? The illusion has been broken.
Doesn't matter if a judge is elected or appointed > corruption is viable either way. What needs to happen is reform to better keep judges in check when they f*ck up or get called out for said corruption or shady practices while serving on the bench. And until people stop blindly reelecting incumbents wihtout knowing who TF they're voting in - nothing will change. This goes for both judges and legislative positions.
2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon.
Far cooler than the sheepgoat, until it sneezes and lights itself on fire.
the Varoufakis hate was completely unwarranted. He got screwed by his prime-minister and He’s a genius and I like his ideas of federal Europe etc.
Wait till you watch this his segment on the genocide of Xinjiang Muslim by China...
Calling him a genius is a bit much, he is pretty stereotypical euro-Marxist.
The British twang doesn’t help- imagine how shameless it would sound in a German accent
Every time he makes a joke about a bad world leader, part of me cries. We were so innocent back then.
Love the ending !!!
I've never been to court (besides as a juror) but this has me thinking I should through some money at judges in my jurisdiction...
Paul Newby, criminals best bewaaaare~~!!
Oh yeah, this is a certified jam.
Why the upside down UK flag in 6:10?
Was coming to say the same, but had to see if anyone else spotted too. Unless intentional, and with John being British, this should have been picked up!!
Roy Moore?! Damn! Two years before he became infamous!
Wonder what happened to whis whole Russia/Ukraine thing
I've been watching John for over 8 years, and it's the first time I'll disagree - musaka tastes awesome!
Dill is the most underrated herb in the garden. #facts
I really hope Chad Myers is doing better these days
Lucky actually that John only made light jokes about appearance on YV. V is really a genius and, as he puts it, a virtuous person.
Old but gold!
lets go back to duels to solve personal issues 😂
Man I remember this episode on HBO now
I love dills. Try them with potatoes 🥔 or tomatoes 🍅 . Dills are great!
Labor might try bringing back that bus now. 😊
The pink bus thing is ridiculous because if they had just put out a bland apology and been like,
“We now see that our attempt at inclusivity was poorly implemented. We did not fully consider the potential negative connotations of our bus and we sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by it. Going forward, we will be more mindful of our messaging strategies.”
They could have saved face and possibly even won over some voters by proving that they are willing to listen to their constituents. But instead they pretended not to know what colors are? Why?
Its so enraging that the labour party is practically handing the election over to the victories (as in victorian tories)
I mean what's the worst thing that can happen? It's not like they're gonna push for a referendum to leave the EU
@EE-gv9wt that shi has sailed already unfortunately...the "great" British public in all their...."wisdom&genius".... laughable
cant believe he didnt even mention how he spells justus loughry
Oh my gosh his hair used to be so black and full of life....
Just like the then president.
7:40 who was running the UK labor party in 2015?
Tsukasa Kadoya?
Does glitter glue come from princes ponies ?
Yanis is the goat, has great politics… why are we hating on his fit game
Excuse me?! Musaka is f***ing delicious.
Since this video we’ve also learned that judges appointed for life can be as equally corrupt.
26:47 And so begins John’s vendetta against the most annoying child in Canada.
Is this John fighting the man with pay walls on max?
GREECE MENTIONED
I want to vote for Paul Newby now
It seems like it took the Labour 10 years to recover from the pink van scandal
If they'd went with the pony idea like John suggested, they could have regained the majority much faster
Um, can a bruther get some Jamaicans to help me with that goat?
4:13 Well this aged well
Get that judge his rv. Any gg thanks. Almsot done thansk for this season
Elected judiciary? What a joke of a country.
you know, two people have to crouch under john's desk. hopefully not during the entire episode.
Holly ...😢big MigMigMistake!
Leave Stevie Nicks out of it!!!😂
Whole season dropped?
Time to call off work
Hey look... It's Roy Moore.
Looking back this reminds our and by extension my problems today are so much worse than 10 years ago. This is what I suggest you do go back and start watch from 2016 until now. You see the sh!t show the last 8 years have been. Each episode is so hopeful than a new week happens and it just gets worse.
They all believe the lies from the Red Bus, why not from the Pink One? 🤷♂️
Someone really dropped the ball posting these.
It's not pink, it's sort of a .... light red
The word "yang" is pronounced like "young".
Isn't it more of a breathy vowel? Like "yahng"?
Dill is like the best herb wtf.
How... It's like a fake weed for salads...
@@adamdaniel8909 It's not primarily used in salads, it's for putting on potatoes and to give flavor to meat whether you're marinating, stewing, baking it, whatever.
That's an L take. Unless it's on a pickle it can gtfo.
@@michaelcarter3127 I was gonna say "Westoid palette 😆👆", but these aren't accessible from places that have HBO, so what is wrong with you?
@@aspacelex nah... Dill is still gross...
