Boris Johnson: calculated buffoonery
Donald Trump: authentic buffoonery
It's scary how real that is.
We, that is to say I, have the best buffoons... not only that, I dare say we have the only real buffoons, and of course I would know, being the best and biggest buffoon in the world, some people say the universe...
Hazukichan X my buffooneries are yuuuge
one is PM of UK other one is president of USA. me and you just comment write and read nobody lol
Don't blame the buffoons, blame the others beforehand that made those buffoons look like a viable option
Boris Johnson is the real life persona of the "Jar Jar Binks is a Sith lord" theory
This is to perfect
That theory had some merit I watched an hour long video on its not true but funny and there are a lot of coincidences.
What... Were you watching an episode of Mat Pat's "Film Theory" or something like that?
@@NathanDavisVideos I don’t remember
@@randomuser1249 It was but George ended up changing it.
Who's watching it today as Boris Johnson resigns as PM?
sup
Hate I missed that
I'm about two weeks late but I'm so happy for the UK. Y'all might get another asshole, but at least that one is gone.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
YES
Can we please get a new segment on Boris now that he's completely fucked it
I second this
I third.
Here ye here ye
I'd love to see a 2nd piece looking at all his failures, lies and illegal activity.
I kept checking
Y'all should have elected Lord Buckethead while you still had the chance
ALL HAIL LORD BUCKETHEAD
LONG MAY HE REIGN
ALL HAIL BUCKETHEAD
ALL HAIL BUCKETHEAD
ALL HAIL BUCKETHEAD
Lord Buckethead called it - "And it will be a shitshow."
America: Trump
Britan: Trump light.

We need a John Oliver update on Boris… boozy parties at no 10, breaking lockdown rules etc. He’s far from a bumbling fool, he is a self serving endlessly ambitious toff who has contempt for the British public and has painted himself as a « man of the people ». This old Etonian couldnt be further from that.
Living in England at the moment is what I imagine taking Class A hallucinatory drugs is like.
@@nickdoughty518 you are not wrong. I feel like I live in a Monty Python film.
@@nickdoughty518 If only it were that much fun
@@nickdoughty518 Personally, I've never taken any such hallucinatory drugs, but having spoken to a few people who have, usually you hallucinate something sort of edging towards being pleasant or not outright threatening to your life. Living in England is not that sort of hallucination, though I really wish it was just that.
They're back on the air this weekend.
My favorite Boris Johnson moment is when he unironically quoted Pericles' propaganda speeches about Athenian democracy in a public debate with an ancient historian.
she (the historian) wasnt that old.
@@subliminaljuggernaut7278 lmao good one
Assuming that's Pericles' funeral oration, that's one of the most famous speeches in history and not at all weird...
Yeah, and remember, Prof. Mary Beard, the ancient historian, has won the debate🙂
@@Adam-ut1dh Did you enjoy Eton? Because I definitely enjoyed getting a PhD, and yet, I never heard the one-of-the-most-famous- in-the-world speech "Pericles' funeral oration."
Somewhere in Moscow, Putin is sitting in his bathtub wondering how it went so right
FACTS
I imagine him sitting on the can looking at world news on his phone and giving a single solitary "hehe" every time an a**hole gets elected into power or misuses their power. Immediately returning to his usual half scowl.
A bathtub filled with the blood of his enemies.
花ちゃん that doesn’t mean isolation, it means building nationalism
@@betos-08 of course, what better then making them turn against each other? What you said and Alexander Rdzen said are both right. He is doing both.
If it really is true that Boris purposely made up the "I design buses" story to change his search results for more favorable stories, that is one of the smartest, most calculated strategies for media manipulation i have ever seen. And that is the only compliment I will ever give him.
Well you should probably complement him on his gut reaction to which consulting advice he should listen to. Because it is for a fact not his idea, he just know intuitively that it could work. And if not, he doesn't mind. His approach is trial and error down the deep end. Nothing is too embarrassing or opportunistic looking, as long as it fulfills his main goal. To be on top with the minimal amount of effort, having everyone double guessing you because you have figured out how to trigger biases and preconceptions that work nearly mechanically.
@@CaughtRedHanged thank you for the word salad.

The Queen saying "Deez Nutz" to every prime minister since Churchill, with not context as to why, is something I never knew I needed so much.
...I wish is was actually true.
We don’t have any hard evidence that it isn’t true…
@@hawz Actually we do know what the qqueen told Johnsson. She asked him why he even wanted the job.
It is
Watching this in mid January 2022, just helps to shed light to what is happening now with Boris's leadership of the Tory party. John Oliver was so right about the many failings of a clownish PM.
We all knew how shit he was.
“Presenting his lack of preparation so charmingly, that you actually doubt he is unprepared. But he is.”

Do you know what's in 5 C ?
- Johnson : No
- Trump : Wonderful things, so many wonderful things, so many I can't... I wouldn't have time... in fact, and this is true, I wrote the 5 C
That's actually terrifyingly accurate
Not knowing is terrible. Not knowing and pretending to know is always worse.
@@kylestubbs8867 I'd say not knowing and not caring about that is even worse
@@gabby4558 Point taken.
I'm both impressed and saddened by how accurate that sounds...
Well, now Boris has got plenty of time on his hands to carry on painting wonderful buses.
Got to be said, John Oliver definitely nails it here, like a fox in Kent
😂😂😂😂😂
Boris Johnson feels like a Monty Python character who appeared in the real world.
You mean the dead parrot? Yeah, I can somewhat see the resemblance.
I expect him to bellow "help, help I'm being repressed" without irony at the Brexit negotiations. @@Imightneverusethis
The whole world is like that anymore. Somewhere there is an SNL sketch happening, and the rest of the world has to live in the universe that makes the jokes work.
THIS.
The real world can feel that way. The great satirist Tom Lehrer once quipped,"Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." @@Thannak
That trick with the google bus searches is scary genius. I almost respect him for it.
1111Pel Nope. Racism, prejudice and mass murder doesn’t take brains.
Yeah that was really smart... how did someone figure that out xd
Didn't really work though. If I google it, I still get hits about the NHS funding bus.
It's putting a talent to work to get out of things. A wiser man would apply the talent to avoid getting into them in the first place.
Except it was not Boris but Cummings who was the person responsible for the infamous bus.
First the Guidestones fell, then Boris Johnson.
No one person should wield this much power.

Just back here enjoying this after Boris has resigned.
At least UK's Trump had the class and good sense to resign quietly without leaving behind a attempted governmental coup with a cadre of toffee-nosed lackeys covering up his high crimes and misdemeanors.
Me too!
“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so-but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Perfect!!
I immediately thought of this. If anything the books taught me, is I can always go mad and save my sanity for later.
So Boris is the real life Zaphod? Good to know!
Spot on, at least we know now where he gets it from!
Plus it looks like this BoJo is heading straight to a "Desaster Area" gig - - coincidence?
On behalf of the UK to the rest of the world I want to apologise for providing the answer to the question "What if Donald Trump were to become self aware?"
Mister The Geoff apology accepted. So, how do we get these idiots to leave us alone? Any ideas?
@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 Search me, I've been trying to find an answer to that since he was mayor of London.

Coming back to this in July 2022 when he's resigned kicking and screaming just to feel vindicated
I've been watching Last Week Tonight episodes about Trump to laugh at the old times and be grateful that things are slightly better but watching this one is making me wish we went back to simpler times because everything is just getting worse all the time with Boris. Living in the UK is endless misery with this guy in power.
EDIT: AHAHAHAHAHA WE'RE FREE
EDIT 2: I WAS WRONG WE'RE NEVER FREE
John needs to come back to Boris with all the shit and partygate going on rn
Yeah sure feels like we're free and didn't trade one Tory lizard for another...
@@UltimaPowers I'll admit that yeah I was wrong. We are never free. It's still a cycle of misery.
@@epicmewtwo8274 Hey, don't sweat it, at least for that brief instant you felt a charge of hope. Try to regain that feeling and hold on to it cos holy shit after 12 years of these actually evil cunts I can't even remember what that was like.
I'm sorry but the updates are so funny (dark humor funny, but still)
"They love me over there."
"No they don't."
Yeah British people live their parents, and that's it, and even then as long as they never have to admit to it.
Actually, the people John refers to only know Trump through the narrative filter of "left-stream media", so of course those misinformed cretins would hate him as they do. What they don't realize is that what they hate is merely a portrayal, a caricature insidiously created for that very purpose.
@@TheRavensOmen bruh, we see the things he says and the policies he ennacts. That's our problem with him. And our media is pretty centrist, bordering on right-wing and in the pocket of the Conservative Party.
@@peterdine6601 lol Normally, a patently absurd comment such as yours I would assume is just someone taking the mickey. Ya know, a bit of trolling to allay the boredom. But when the very first word is "bruh", well, let's just say that what always follows is certainly going to be a "bruh" level of commentary. It means you're not just joking.....you actually believe what you're saying. Our media is bordering on right-wing? In the pocket of the conservative party? The fact that you believe that is pure comedy gold! So, if you can make insanely absurd comments in front of a live audience, and maintain a straight face, you might want to pursue a career in stand-up 😆🤣
@@TheRavensOmen bruh is no worse than taking the mickey. And perhaps you haven't heard about the connections between Laura Kunesberg of the BBC and Boris Johnson?
You know none of this would of happened if you guys had elected lord buckethead
Praise Lord Buckethead
Can you imagine lord buckethead shaking hands with the queen?
This comment is severely underrated! I completely agree, put Buckethead in charge and things will be ok.
I'm a big fan of his stance on negotiating.
@@MrPrussianjester I would cry
To those who voted for him and were surprised and appalled by his actions, you have not been paying attention!
If you vote for clowns, expect a circus
Hey, thats insult to actual clown at least they still react to crisis properly
This. He was an abject person and became an abject prime minister. Anyone surprised shouldn’t have a vote.
@@HowToChangeName fax
Ah, but you're dealing with United Kingdom/the British, here; what would you expect?!
That applies to this Country more than it does to the UK. because at least the British people at least got rid of Johnson. whereas we can't seem to get rid of Trump no matter how we try? and now we have a never ending circus.
I’ve never been more attracted to Jon Oliver than when he’s reciting the lyrics to “My neck, My back” in that stuffy accent!!
That’s very through he do have a stuffy accent
"the howling chasm of a space where a soul should be"
The writers on this show are gooooooood lol
@Neil Mo I think it's meant to be, "the howling chasm, of a space where..." But the nuance is lost in the delivery.
The canvas comparison with the French cuisine was pretty neat too :D
@Neil Mo Neil, you must be fun at parties lol
@@pyrotechnick420 That's rich coming from the moron who thinks that was a good joke. Enjoy four more years of Trump bitch boy.

That clip of Johnson giving tea to the reporters was diabolical, but it’s also a great illustration of how a cult of personality works
Actually quite funny tbh
Indeed. I keep on shouting: "Just ask him! Ask him the damn question!"
@@lucasqwert1 even with context, its actully hilarious
Yeah man it's a sort of evil genius type. He knows how to manipulate the situation into his control
People like to see the dope but god this man is smart. I have respect Johnson because of it. He is so fucking evil you can tell. Agree with his politics or not this man can spin and that is fucking scary.
Well then… this aged well; Boris lost both his Chancellor and Health Secretary within 10 minutes of each other just yesterday due to the continuation of his lying habit throughout his premiership. Things are not looking good for him…
As well as 29 other MPs, what a beautiful mass resignation
@@DeadFishTheKing and he now resigns himself!
I'm watching this in 2021 and it's extremely accurate as to the character of Boris Johnson. This topic badly needs revisiting soon by John Oliver.
Maybe about the time when Boris is ousted from office.
Certainly soon, I hope!
Now would be an excellent time, since his government is currently imploding
July 2022: how about now?
This dude went from hilarious to horrifying.
Fast.
Right hes some sort psychopath with that crazy manipulation.
@@batt3ryac1d He's a midly more competent version of trump

That was the whole point of this. Perfectly constructed to make you think that, and not balanced at all.
@@CaesarsLegion1 I think he meant Boris
"They like me over there."
"No they don't!"

It's amazing that he didn't catch on to the fact that calling Johnson the british Trump is an insult.

England and Tea are inseparable. Boris literally came out with like 6 cups because he knows they'll love it.
True. I'm watching this with my morning tea. I've got my cup, teapot, sugar dish, sugar tongs, milk jug, and a few biscuits, all carefully laid out in front of me.
I've got enough tea for 3 cups, and it's just me.
If I was one of those journalists, I'd be asking where the trays were for the other journalists.
^I'm English by the way, if it wasn't obvious.
Love of tea is stereotypically an English thing, not a British thing. The Scots, Irish and Welsh aren't as into it. The Scots generally go for coffee, Iron Bru, or just start the day flying with a can of lager.
Geography lesson! See this mistake all the time. Okay, so you've got the 3 individual countries on the main landmass- English, Scotland, and Wales. Together they make up the union of Great Britain.
Which is then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Ireland is a seperate island, so is not part of Britain. It's split in two due to The Troubles in the 80's, which split Ireland into Northern Ireland (still part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland, which is still part of the European Union after the UK's exit vote.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human what makes my comment worse is that I'm very well versed on UK history and geography, I just had no idea that only English people were the tea lovers. I'm surprised to hear this, its interesting to hear that Scotts love Iron Bru. Thank you for the time you took to educated me though.
As someone in Scotland I prefer Irn Bru or heroin.

“He now has 99 days to come up with a deal”
Laughs in Nov 2020
He could have got a deal if he showed Brussels some of those famous buses
@@danielnarevich7579 lol
@Light Myst As a British person, sure. We agreed a deal under Johnson in September last year, which on closer inspection was a slightly edited version of the unpopular one Theresa May previously agreed with Europe. But because it had his seal of approval, and even though he personally previously voted against May's deal twice in Parliament, it was used to win an election last December and was passed in January, so Britain left then. But the deal included a transition rather than an immediate exit and a mandate to spend 2020 negotiating the actual future relationship or else the full no deal experience with all the shit that is promised happening by default on Jan 1st 2021, and the UK has spent the whole time being stubborn on a few particular issues to the point where talks have essentially gone nowhere since July. This was conveniently after Johnson and his government rejected the chance to extend talks and the exit transition by two years. So we're now 5 weeks from no deal after negotiations that have gone nowhere for months, and there's also no guarantee any deal will even pass Parliament given our terrible handling of coronavirus means his party are now openly fighting each other. This is to say nothing of the UK government introducing a law seemingly designed to just annoy the EU and undermine the deal we already had, and they're insisting on keeping it even after incoming President Biden publicly said this law shouldn't be a thing
I could add a lot more besides but tl;dr, we basically signed a deal that deferred most of the problems by a year but its all still in a mess, just without the safety net and after coronavirus has all the problems worse. Its not good
@@chlcrk Thank you for the in depth explanation.
I think the sky may hurt when it falls. It may benefit you to prepare yourself, perhaps invest in essential goods. Just saying, and I understand that may not be possible.
@@chlcrk On top of all of THAT, the EU refused to budge on fishing legislation, so we played a risky game of chicken that somehow paid off a few weeks ago and Brussels basically said "Okay, you win, we'll give in on this and a couple of other issues".
So what did we do? Ignored them, and continued to not engage with negotiations.
Part of me believe that our government has been purposefully bodging the negotiations with the intention of ending up with a No Deal Brexit. The EU would be publicly blamed for not giving us a fair deal by Johnson, and a radical solution will be sought to bolster our economy. Cue the outright privatisation of the NHS. In an extra bonus move, throw in tax breaks for massive corporations so that they can move in to fill the gaps left by our decimated small businesses post-covid, and we are well on our way to becoming the United States B-Team.
The Road to Mandalay video legit looked like something ripped out of "The Thick Of It" 😂 the Ambassador saying "Probably not a good idea..." looked like he wanted to kill himself in that moment lmfao

@@juhRave Yours sure was!
Boris Johnson: a very literal interpretation of "failing upwards".
Alexandr Yanenko I think the proper way to say it is “falling upwards”, which makes the saying more paradoxical
failing upwards?? he can not go Higher, now ther is only a fall in fornt off him
Ursula von der Leyen falls into the same category. Just with the difference that I have never met someone that remotely liked her. Everyone hates her and the corrupt shit she has done yet she is president of the EU commission
Adrian M He said failing upwards, but it was probably a typo
Actually he started at the top, ultra elite.
Now we need a post-resignation Boris episode
“Them’s the breaks” -Boris Johnson, cheerio
Is "taking the tea" the British version of "drinking the koolaid "
I like the implications that the tea is poisoned
That's right.
"Oh, yeaahhh" "Oh, narrr"
This comment gave me a new outlook on life.
sort of. taking tea with someone has cultural overtones of acceptance- you're sitting down to enjoy a cuppa with them so it doesn't follow you want their head on a pike.
ferinstance: the prime minister has a routine formal appointment to meet the queen to take tea. if either of them refused to go to that, it'd be pretty serious news.
to quote Rick and Morty "you can't get mad at a guy with that kind of talent "
"Dad you Can and have to"

That’s why he gets away with shit. He’s strangely charming. I agree. I was like. Yeah. Go wife waff. I’m like. Wait a second. Asshole. Lured me in. I think he’s smart and charming but that doesn’t mean he should be a leader.

20:11 - isn't this the same journalist that made Ben Shapiro run away from his interview?!
This man does prepare for his interviews diligently!! Every country needs such journalists..
Normally he does, but the Shapiro session was not an interview, but rather a political hit-piece that left a lot of people hugely sad about Andrew Neil's conduct during it.
A lot of people in the UK that have respect for Andrew Neil were quite disappointed, because instead of investigating why Shapiro was popular (the rise in social conservatism that is combating the extremism of the social justice movement), he spent the entire time quoting click-bait articles from 7 years ago. As such the interview had absolutely zero information on the topics it was meant to cover, left Andrew Neil looking incompetent from a journalistic perspective, and Shapiro looking mysterious from a foreign perspective.
@@sadfwefajhid9243 It didn't leave shapiro looking mysterious, it made him look clueless. He was out of his depth with Andrew o'Neil , he showed shapiro for what he is, a shallow, one trick pony.
Meh. Shapiro is not as bright as he lets on. It's just that compared to the other Trumptards in his circle he seems like a genius.

Hello from July 2022, the day after the human equivalent of the Honey Monster has finally resigned.
While this is pretty funny, there's one thing every time I see a story like this I can't help but question. Is anyone else disgusted at the fact that people like him can get positions like that where they have a key role in deciding policies and laws that effect large groups of people's lives. Even when they are repeatedly called on how horrible of a job they are doing and they're utter lack of preparedness or even high level of apathy they can still keep those jobs. Yet someone at as low a level as retail management at a grocery store can be held accountable and even terminated if they cannot perform that job...? How are those people able to keep their jobs after appalling performances like that. I'm just ranting after binging this show, which is freaking great by the way, but it is a serious question that I wonder if it will ever be ever be answered or if anything will ever be done about it. Just wanted to get that off my chest and out there is all.
Simple. England has a huge tory bias and people like him exploit it so that they can gain power and the English just keep voting tory as a simple of “English patrotism” and this knobhead uses it to gain power
they are not doing a horrible job, i mean they are, but not to their sponsors and men behind the curtain, the kingmakers
Statism 101.
why be in expert in policies when you can be an expert in marketing? its always the loud rich assholes with the best slogans that get voted in over people who actually know what they're doing. people are far easier to convince than you might expect.
Someone working at a grocery store does not have the privilege of wealth and power to continue to be allowed to fail. Most political leaders do. Many western countries (not all) have their citizens live in the illusion that they're less corrupt than what they condescendingly refer to as the 'third world' but the truth is that in many western societies, corruption on the top is pretty rampant and in some cases even legalized. Not to mention, stealing of the resources of those same 'third world' in offshore accounts by providing safe havens to the corrupt men and women because of whom they treat Africa and Asia in a condescending manner. Most western societies profit from stealing the resources of their own as well as other countries. However, unlike 'third world countries' they have to play the game of democracy to sustain the illusion of liberty and justice.

it's a well-dressed racist comment. - he's saying the french are lazy hedonists, we brits are dynamic & competitive.
should also be noted that trade unions & living standards in france are both much better than in the uk...

@@hansvangrol2829 never underest9imate the enemy. he's a vile man & no doubt wrong about most of what matters, but i don't think him an idiot.
@@sjs9698 Im not a Pro Boris Supporter, but it is not racist, in no way is that comment discriminating on the ground of / or make fun of something due to their race. It is comparing two nationalities and two different countries. Do not misuse these terms as the mass application and constant misuse of them can result in them loosing their meaning and to it becoming twisted and less effective as a term to describe something that is utterly abhorrent...
@@simpleclover8422 while i do agree that there's a degree of risk in misusing the term, there's also absolutely no scientific basis for 'race' - so your given definition of racism will struggle to be realistically met.
also: that there is room for reasonable doubt is precisely why i called it 'well dressed'
I've always found that Boris Johnson sounds, acts and looks like he is a character from Little Britain played by Matt Lucas.
That's intentional.
@@DaDunge Yes. I also watched this video.
@@PinataFreaks oh yeah well I didn't learn it from this. I've known it for quite a while.
Good point... but to me... Benny Hill comes to mind !
I wish someone would -play- drown out everything boris says with Yakkity Sax.
The only thing wrong with this video is that John Oliver is clearly talking rubbish about Prawn Cocktail crisps.
Right?? The best crisps
I don't know about the "wif-waf" part of that anecdote, but if anyone was curious and sees this, ping pong was actually invented in England (according to my memory of one time I googled it a week ago, so I could be wrong)
Boris wearing the bicycle helmet reminds me of the episode of South Park where Cartman is trying to get in the Special Olympics
You made my day bro
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
Lmao i totally see it
Omg my mind literally flashed to that too lol lol
That is an absolutely perfect reference!
THE GASPS WHEN HE SAID JEFFRY EPSTEIN
another person added to clinton body count
^ makes a person wonder how many cartels gangs and underworlder/subterranean types get away with so much sh!t bec of the portions of general public being quite so happy to conspiracy-theory scapegoat the clintons. imagine havoc that could be wreaked by convincing persons who work for law enforcement to notbother looking for real clues bec the real perps couldn't possibly be/have been this local group or any individual/external influence bec it can only be the clintons. lol a break, please. y'think the clintons're the biggest/most dangerous people epstein knew..? xD"
Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
What about the gasps when they noticed the FedEx arrow??
Well well well, his nonchalant attitude to scandals could not save him now. RIP his career 2022.
Rewatching this post his resignation- Oliver’s comments were prescient. Spot on forecasting the reasons for his downfall.
As soon as Boris Johnson said "whiff-whaff" I think I had a chronic heart attack from laughter.
He's a comedian hence people elected him to be perpetually entertained by reading the news
It wasn't that funny.
@@Locutus it was very funny actually 😑
@@Locutus Agreed, it was absurd.
He stole it from the BBC show QI.
The thing with the tea is scary. He's really good at this.
He's played this game before
Probably a mastermind at monopoly
I'm joking of course
you want a laugh though go watch the old top gear episode where he's the guest hahah, he does argue for the environment with Clarkson who used to be an anti climate change dick, but that aside he rips on him the entire time & Boris keeps trying this stuff and the audience and Jeremy arent having it
Yeah and he's very good at running away into fridges to escape journalists too. Oh Britain is so very fucked.
it well exposes the narcissistic gameplay, but only to those familiar with it
John, I just came to say I appreciate your commitment to the Hugh Grant bit. Much respect.
Funny that this got recommended to me now
I think one guy summed it pretty well: Boris Johnson's plan is to be the PM, he does not have a plan for anything afterwards.
Wu Tang sounds like Trump, honestly.
Nicholas Farrell it's exactly like Trump if we look at it like that
He's exactly like Rump, a fucking moron with a mop head. And wearing that bike helmet made him look like Eric Cartman in that special Ed episode! 😆
That's pretty much every politician.
This makes me imagine how much more dangerous Trump would be were he educated...
Or had common sense for that matter.
I don't think education is the issue with him
The scary part is that he is educated.
As dangerous as the mating Foxes of Kent.
@@codyrivera6219 Is he?
I'm sitting here crying because a buffoon like that keeps cartoonishly failing upwards while I struggle for job security 🥺
Rewatching in light of... recent events
It's like Ralph Wiggum was sent to a British boarding school, and things just went very, very wrong from there.

Ahh butt hurt liberals in the us and UK. Love it.
Zdwade: "My cat's breath smells like cat food"
So the only time Boris is sincere is when he's bragging about how he's played everyone.
@aguy654 Completely different.
Watching this after the news this week is fun (:
Who's back here after the announcement of his resignation following 50+ protest resignations in the UK government and abandonment by his party?
Why is Gary Busey Prime Minister of Great Britain now?
Jack Dextraze Hahahaha. You sir have the comment of the day.
that's from seth meyers right?
I didn't even realize Gary Busey was British.
Boris to the mirror: HOW AM I DOING TODAY BORIS JOHNSON!?
Boris's mirror image: YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!
Boris to the mirror: GOOD THEN I'LL KEEP IT UP.
Fat Gary Busey
"skipped many workdays to hang out with his best friend, Jeffrey Epstien."
Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half.
Matt Olstein are you referring to President Bill Clinton?
Trump.
there's no record of trump on Epstein's sex jet with random women... but there's over 20 flight records with Bill Clinton and Tatiana 🤣
@@sethbishop3306 did you even watch the video?
Seth Bishop no Boris Johnson
He resigned today is a good day
This is REALLY good now that Johnson has resigned!! 😩😂💯
Smart people who paint themselves as idiots have always been dangerous.
Chris Floyd the art of war
@Jelly Belly People who paint themselves like fools are just your garden variety self absorbed liar. It has more to do upbringing and innate opportunity. When they have means to burn any bridge with no consequences this creates a scary individual.
Not always though. Some use it to entertain. Comedians frequently employ this technique.
He's not smart he's an idiot disguised as a moron
But who to blame if an idiot paints himself as a smart person and people buy it?
As a Brit, I agree with all of this, except the denigration of the Prawn Cocktail crisp, which is one of our greatest culinary achievements
Chris Maudsley greatest in that it’s absolutely astounding that so much bad can be compounded into 1 bite...
I mean, I love prawn cocktail, I love crisps, and I’m even a bit of an anglophile. Yet, they are easily top 5 worst things I’ve ever tasted.
I believe prawn flavored snacks are originally japanese
England and culinary achievements should not be in the same sentence. I've never heard of a Prawn crisp, BUT I feel oddly thankful for that.
that's kinda sad tbh
In Australia we have Prawn crackers made by Chinese restaurants, which are delicious. Maybe yours aren’t made the Chinese way.
Watching less than 12hrs after his resignation
the way the government's going now this seems like it could do with a refresher soon
Does tea ever not work on British people?
No, it's our kryptonite. Too bad the Germans never figured that out or the world wars would have ended very differently!

Thank goodness you’re back, John Oliver. I’ve missed you these last few weeks.

This has aged very- very well
In January 2022 Brits can’t say they weren’t warned! 😂😂😂
John Oliver clearly pretending to hate prawn cocktail crisps there.
Yeah, after the cut he took a crate of em out I bet.
Everyone knows they're the best crisps for sandwiches. He's probably just playing up for his American audience.
And the Euro sausage, the butter mountain and the wine lake from “Yes, Minister”.
@@byz88 Crisps with sandwiches... I loved that combination while in England, I would never eat it again anywhere else. Or ever.
I know, right? I love them.
Boris Johnson looks like if Donald Trump painted a self portrait from memory.
Trump would use more gold paint.
Or if he was painted while being described over the phone.

Yes we do need John Oliver to do more coverage on UK politics! Especially on Boris Johnson.
anyone comes back in 2022 when Boris resigns?
