Wasn’t sure how old this was until I heard “ice bucket challenge”
You're an ice bucket challenge!
It’s really strange that they don’t put the original air date on these uploads
I never stopped
@@SquirefromtheShire I differentiate the recently aired episodes from the decade old ones by checking out the title. If it contains “S1” or anything before season 8, it’s older than your mom.
I remember that Al Qaeda guy because he looks like the former Spanish President Mariano Rajoy.
ITT Tech was barred from using government loans two years after this episode. They immediately shut down and filed for bankruptcy.
Which they could file for, unlike those stuck with student loans. Fucking bastard broken system.
and finally the "Libyan Pool Party" joke in the Student Loans segment makes sense
I read your comment before I saw that segment.
Now that I have seen the rest of that segment, I have to agree! 😂
You nailed it. I felt the same. 😅
I know right. I have always wondered 😂😂😂
10 years and it’s still as raw as if it happened yesterday. But I take solace in the knowledge that those geckos are in heaven now, fucking angels.
Russian space geckos fucking in heaven definitely sounds like a hazbin hotel plot line
They did an updated student loan debt episode not too long ago, and it's depressing to see we've made so little progress. Some student loan debt forgiveness is better than none, but it's not looking good for my youngsters. I guess Russia wasn't lying about re-establishing contact with the satellite.
12:40 - The first appearance of Janice from accounting
S1 E16 (aired September 7, 2014)
Jfc, when this first aired I was in my first week of 6th grade, now I'm watching this in my senior year of college with my own pile of debt to deal with. Oh the passage of time.
Thank you so much for doing this with every episode!
Commenting to help push this up to at least spot 2.
Thank you.
THANK YOU this seems like a critical piece of information when re-airing a program about current news 😂
It's already in the description. Amazing how many people are leaping to conclusions. Almost as many as the people commenting "I was like what year is it?...then I saw or heard..."
NOT THE GECKOS 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you John and A Great Big World for that touching memorial.
Gave me goosebumps. We all touched heaven in that moment.
John nailed the harmonies with Ian too.
I shed a tear for the horny space gekos. Come and gone in their prime
I knew they were goners when he first told us about them, they have already killed a dog & a cat, so I knew lizards didn't mean anything to them either! 😢
@@tracykellison8682 They meant something to the world, damn it!
I love how we're all just vibing watching the old episodes and realizing the world has been facked for awhile now
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE
Rewatched recently and I forgot Oliver is actually in that show for multiple seasons
6 Seasons & a Movie!
These 10 year old episodes are the phrase: “The more things change the more they stay the same”
New show title: Last Decade's Problems Got Worse
As a current college sophomore who's been watching LWT since middle school, the "go enjoy yourselves" segment is more real than ever.
Knowing how leaving Afghanistan went, this is prophetic...
It was quite the Libyan Pool Party
Leaving was the best option. There was no winning in Afghanistan for the US.
It's not a prophecy if it's a rerun.
@@LGBTQLegend it was rather the manner of leaving than the fact of leaving 😥
John arm in arm with the gecko may be the cutest thing ever.
6:20 Damn, those Libyan pool parties warnings ended up being too real.
That belch in the LBJ recording gets me every time 🤣
Most ironically, youtube gives me an ad for a for profit school twice: before i started this episode and before the last segment.
I have a masters degree, gtfoh for profit school ads 😂
I love that John has pipes and a good ear, and he’s used them both from the beginning.
John oliver being able to sing the harmony (tuning aside) is pretty good commitment
Goodnight sweet geckos
Love that we might actually be getting that Movie soon. It only took ten years 😂
Could you guys put in the description the original airdate of these older episodes?
Agreed. First season was all 2014
There is a guy that posts it in every video. Make sure to thank him.
Imdb probably has it
@@rMeSclan Wikipedia does too
It literally says that season and episode. Google it for yourself like a functional adult. Jfc
Love John Oliver ❤
19:20- 19:35 You can actually see his very real and raw anger right here when he said that these For Profit Institutions targets Veterans, knowing that his own spouse is one.
Not even John can keep his composure knowing these ghouls are actively targeting his spouse's Comrades in Arms
Sadly Afghanistan did eventually turn into a Libyan pool party. Just took a minute.
#sixseasonsandamovie came true!
Thinking about how many emmys this show has during the Russian Space sex lizard tribute
It’s a clear sign of the hard work the team put in; earning Emmy’s ain’t easy.
The writers on this show have their shit together - you have my approval.
22:50 - I was a sophmore in college when he gave this advice 😂😂
28:38 Oliver with the mad skillz harmonies.
so nostalgic. thank you guys!
Man, those geckos got some unpresidented love
I'm bingewatching all of these
John Oliver, I'm so glad you came to the United States. You are a national treasure.
Reposting this reminded me of ITT Tech; I forgot it closed in 2016
I almost went to an HVAC program there but couldn't make the commute after my current job there so decided not to enroll. I never became a tradesman but I didn't go to ITT so that makes me happy lmao
Thank you so much for the full episodes!
I love how unhinged this show is sometimes and the shit they get to do for stupid reasons 😂
Same here!
I graduated with 100k student loan and I had 12.5 percent interest rate
This made me shiver and sent sweat beads down my back.
45k @ 8.11% doesn’t feel as bad anymore
It's time to play some Marco Fucking Polo 😂
Wonder how Janice in accounting is doing these days. Hopefully well.
Shout out to everyone that watched and loved Community
Man, the first season is comedic gold. The punch lines come on one after the other, and there is no repetition just to let the jokes sink in. And the topics are so relevant even today, sigh.
28:29 somehow this song needs to be on your grandma’s iPod track list 😅😅😅
10 years later and now I’m dealing with student debt 😅
SO appreciate you guys! Let's keep fighting the good fights! 🗳💙
these uploads taught me there's an intro lol
We can now percieve the masterpiece that was the song for those poor geckos.
12:58 not sure if this was relevant back then but ITT Tech is now gone and I’m sure that guy would change where he went to school 😮
Those 4 gecko's needed a bear instead of a boy.😂😂😂
I’m legitimately sad about the geckos, little guys had no say in being sent into space and died not knowing what was going on. 😢
I was incredibly lucky in hindsight……I supposedly attended an online university. From the outset, I thought things were fishy as the curriculum for IT was horribly outdated. But I fell for the Clinton push for you need to retrain yourself for these “new” jobs. I did get some FAFSA loans, but what I ended up with useless education and a huge debt, to the point I cashed in my meager retirement fund get the bloody thing half paid off. I took a hit for cashing out early and so forth. The good news is that dare I say it Biden did something helpful to help me (1) discharge the remainder of my loan after ten years (2) most importantly I got my retirement refunded to me.
Student debt is so dumb, what are they gonna do, give you a lobotomy 😂😂😂
It is depressing how much of this is repeating. Or still ongoing, as the case might be. But at least once in a while, you get to see a bullet dodged.
I guess Wolf Blitzer's head was always shaped like that.
Still waiting for that movie!!
Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
This aged so well considering who currently runs Afghanistan.
My gut reaction to the end segment was “never change, John Oliver.”
And then I remembered this episode is 10 years old, and he really hasn’t changed 🥹❤️
We’ll always remember you, funky little fuck geckos 🫡 🚀🦎
ah man, remember Janice from Accounting?
Is there a reason the original air date isn't listed in the description? It would be nice to have.
6 seasons and a movie... that I'm still waiting for. Get off Tiger King and meet the quota Joel.
I wanna know what that phone call to Ian Axel for this episode consisted of. “Hey, do you want to come onto Last Week Tonight and do a duet for a funeral for geckos having sex?”
I don't know if he did it on purpose or just conveniently messed it up in just the right way but John was actually harmonizing pretty well with the singer at the end
It’s funny cause you can see in these old episodes that the show and the topics is already starting to slowly kill John
I am laughing so hard I'm crying because of the death of space geckos ten years ago. Only John Oliver can make that happen.
the "libyan pool party" with afghanistan wound being pretty prescient
Hilarious.
#goodbyegeckos
dang he totally called afghanistan and ukraine 🥸
At 23:59, their ratings suddenly went down 100%.
I was in college in 2014, graduated in 2017 with about $55k in debt.
Now I'm about $50k in debt. Really wish I'd gone ahead with the fireworks out of every possible orifice.
1.I can't watch all episodes on HBO Max.
2.The playlist is out of order.
3.I can't watch all episodes on TH-cam either.
4.Where can I find a way to watch/pirate this series in order? Da fuq
lol except the English would get the sarcasm
How does this show exist? It's so dumb, it great.
4:45 "Fun" fact, most of Europe and the United States cheerd-on the rise of fascism. The Nazis weren't the enemy, the Italian fascists weren't the enemy, the Japanese weren't the enemy, they were just the people who stepped on the wrong imperial toes. Fascism was more popular among Western leaders (especially economic and political, but also some cultural/religious) than people want to remember/acknowledge. It was especially popular among capitalists, because they knew what fascism was about back then, even if today they pretend like fascism (including Nazism) was all a leftist ideology "because socialism, and didn't you know Mussolini was a Marxist before he started fascism?"
Fascism has only been a moral panic away because, given that the world's "normal" is right wing (if you don't understand how/why, you should take some time to learn/think about what it really means to be left/right. Hint: it's based on hierarchy, including political and economic). The lessons learned from WWII had nothing to do with atrocities or fascism, and everything to do with "America is #1 because we saved the world single-handedly from evil (that we actually sided with even DURING the war, because we both hated anyone who leaned even slightly left). Oh, and the other Allies helped, too, I guess."
I wonder how many gay experiences John had
I'm curious how much we spent on the completely pointless destruction of five animals, geckos or not, for absolutely zero benefit
I hate to tell you this...
We didn't spend anything. Russia on the other hand...
Was student debt a problem before?
Wait did they post ALL their reruns here..
Just season 1 for now. They said they’d upload a new season every time they didn’t have an episode, up until Season 8 I think?
Hahaha I love these guy's!
Imagine if the US withdrew from Afghanistan and something pool party-ish happened there, it would be like John and the team predicted the future..
Hang on though...
I'm not first, but boy am I close enough 😂
Why do we keep issuing debt if it keeps going up,the solution should be to cap tuition fees and force people to pay up front. I know this would be incred8bly difficult to implement but it's similar to the 2008 crash where everyone defaulted in their mortgages, if people can't repay its gonna to hurt the country when it comes to a head, which could be curbed if less debt is issued, there are more strict laws on debt lending and interest rates. I understand the need for fund but laws need to be made to limit debt to only those who can show the ability to repay. I'm no pro but if debt keeps growing and the gov doesn't care, why doesn't everyone just get into as much debt as humanly possible. If there's no consequence for not repaying debts then the whole system breaks
First comment!
Thank you John Oliver for delivering these episodes for us! 😍
Listening to LBJ try to describe a gusset always tickles me
I went to Kaplan before this show was even a thing. They were so predatory and gross. Literally calling me to the office and threatening to kick me out if I didn’t give them all the money I had on me. Often taking my last $20 I needed to eat for the week. Just got my loans from them dismissed under the “bs lying ass school” defense not even a year ago.
Hearing that song in the end, all I could think of was Josh Wolf; he’s truly ruined that song for me.
If you know, you know.

I can't believe I used to enjoy this shit. I couldn't even watch past the video from libya fron 2014 that he claims is from more recent. booo. this sucks.
This is an episode from season 1, which aired in 2014 🙂
The title of the video says Season 1...this IS from 2014 🤦♂️
The way “ we better be careful how we leave Afghanistan” aged 😂😂😂🫠
