John, I don't know who's soul you had to sell to get these old episodes uploaded, but having access to your back catalog is incredibly important to me. Thank you.
"Or, as it might be called by the time you're watching this, western Russia." They weren't kidding with that trailer, some things really haven't changed lmao
@@StarwarsconnoisseurSeasons 2 through 8 will be uploaded during upcoming off weeks. The next time the show is off is May 26th, so that should be when season 2 is uploaded.
Rewatching this entire series for maybe the 4th time. The writing is absolute genius and I find something new every time. Would love to see a bts look at how the writers coordinate with whoever has to find all the clips.
I find the writing consistently tasteful, and reality then and now as absurb as it gets! Humor is definitely a helpful mechanism to cope with it all. Thanks for your delivery, John.
What a joy it is to watch John Oliver's full episodes from the beginning! Especially as someone from Asia. John Oliver is a treasure. A lot of love to John and his incredible team for giving us these episodes!
The fact that John Oliver’s hair has gone from jet black to salt and pepper is so wild! Time truly is a crazy concept because there’s no way you can tell me that this John Oliver and the one we have now are the same gentleman.
History does indeed repeat itself…like a time capsule for the news pundits of the time too. Didnt realize how much they have changed until seeing those clips
I remember watching this back in 2012. My kid was an infant and i was still awake late to watch every Sunday. Now i just catch the uploads here on TH-cam. Weird how little has changed in all this time... Sad, really.
The first episode didn't air until 2014. I wouldn't expect anyone to know that without looking it up, but I'm perhaps a bit concerned that you may be uncertain about when your child was born.
What's sad is that things HAVE changed and are much worse. Ten years ago we hadn't yet had a "president" who tried to overturn a free and fair election, and who wanted to get rid of democracy. We weren't trying to figure out how to live under a theocratic, reactionary SCOTUS. Women weren't prohibited from getting health-saving care when a major pregnancy complication arose, or from having control over their own body. And the climate catastrophe wasn't about 5 years away. If you want your kid to have a decent future, and if you don't want to look back from 2034 and think, "Why didn't I act???!?" then do everything you can to help get out the vote this November. Join Postcards to Voters. Donate to Dem senate candidates in crucial state such as NC and AZ. Call your local Dem chapter and ask them how you can help. Join MoveOn and Indivisible and ask how you can help. And ask everyone you know to do all of the above.

@@mickcollins1921 Your sentence is so absolutely tremendous that I'm not even mad. I can simply accept your opinion, give you a thumbs-up, and appreciate your verbal craftsmanship.

Not really. wars last long ass times. I mean we had troops in Iraq longer then Putin has in Ukraine. I mean shit I servered under George W Bush and got out in 07 from army the war officially ended in 2022, and most people don't even know that sigh.
@@Zalzany It's not just the war in Ukraine. The death penalty debate, the White House press blowing themselves over how good at their job they are, and countries ignoring rules that are supposedly in place for humanitarian reasons because they're too resource wealthy and/or strategically important to give a shit about petty things like rules.
Seeing Temu Milhouse age the way he has over all these seasons is living proof of what constant existential dread can do to you. Huge thanks to John and HBO for releasing season one for free!
Nothing is so cathartic and hilarious! This show is the best. Thank you, Last Week Tonight team, for always delivering such insightful and entertaining content!
Or, you could spend 4 seconds googling for a list of LWT eps. Use your damm brain, or else it will turn to mush -- and more mush-brained morons is this last thing this troubled world needs. Btw, guy, you really need to use punctuation.
It does say season one. That seems like enough to me, and the date is in the description. If people don’t read season 1, I doubt they will read a date any better
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 It does now, which is great! Who says complaining never fixes anything. They originally just had the title without the season or air date.
Could use the "first aired on" dates in the description. Great to see these being uploaded though. And a bit sad that... Like always.... Nothing has changed.
Yeah this is definitely an upload that shows the actual stress effect on a human being constantly being exposed to this level of tragic truth. He looks worlds away now from then and the subject matter of overall world health is the ultimate contributor
Y'all should spend 4 seconds googling for a list of LWT eps/air dates. If you don't use your brain, it will turn to mush -- and too many mush-brains are why the world is such a mess. Don't be one.
It’s great to finally be able to see the archives since Max doesn’t have them for the real ones to stream. Could you please ad the original air date to the capition 🙏
The fact that I'm so desensitized to John Oliver that I was like "hell yeah, death penalty! Let's talk about it!" and that I didn't even need the hamster... Says a lot
I can't believe he actually showed us where Brunei was and didn't even trick us that that wasn't actually Brunei! He was so serious back then
Omg, I know right! I was WAITING FOR IT... And, nothing.
Lmao facts!
Joke's on you. That's not where it is!
What episode did he do that trick plz? I can't remember
We will see the evolution on John Oliver here.
Somehow the Ukraine bit hits just as hard in 2024
I know, this is a shame.
Me, listening to John talk about Ukraine and Russia: This aged poorly.
Or really well.
It's hard to tell
I'd argue that it hits even harder
This aged poorly, seems like he was asking for war to have started 10 years ago
I thought it was new :/
I am shocked beyond words that he showed Brunei on a map and there was no fake out.
Yea, they were so serious back then
Wow, the fact the first story is still relevant TODAY is... truly upsetting
Guess that applies to almost all episodes
The fact the main story id still relevant today is utsetting too
It's almost like nothing's really been fixed in the past decade
In fact if anything it got much much worse.
And the second story was literally relevant yesterday (Saturday).
John, I don't know who's soul you had to sell to get these old episodes uploaded, but having access to your back catalog is incredibly important to me. Thank you.
Crazy to think this was recorded I assume over 30 years ago based on how old John looks now.
Ouch. I mean, true, but ouchie nonetheless.
It's rough out here
Lmfaoo 😂
Hahaha
And I was trying to decide if it would be too mean to say it was 15 years ago...
20:15 "Is located here in the island of Borneo"
Lowkey was expecting him to say "Except that is not Brunei. This is Brunei".
John Oliver really has caused us all to doubt any location or person to be that location or person on the first image shown
@@Sakomi_Arorimincluding, but not limited to, planets.
It’s too unbelievable, that 10 years ago, we were still talking about problems with Ukraine and Russia.
It would be way more unbelievable if there wasn't. Looking at human history war and countries coming and going is the norm.
Since we really did nothing for Russian stealing land...Gee i wonder why they continued...
and Israel and the Arabs
Well it all began in 2014.
Seems to me people underestimate how long a war usually lasts and how much directly related history their usually is before a war and after.
Dear past,
Enjoy. It gets worse.
-the future.
Dear future,
History repeats.
Regards,
The past
if you think it's bad now, wait until 2040
It's like helping an old friend dig up painful memories
I was really confused by the Ukraine thing but then I realized and was just deeply saddened
"Or, as it might be called by the time you're watching this, western Russia."
They weren't kidding with that trailer, some things really haven't changed lmao
Whole episodes are being uploaded now?? Awesome! 😄 We've been needing these!
Only season 1 episodes

Thank God for John Oliver. I am too ill to sleep, doctors where I live are no help, but Mr. Oliver makes me smile anyway
Sorry to hear that🫶
I hope by the time you see this, you are feeling better.

He has moved far since he left Greendale.

This episode could’ve been from this past week and I wouldn’t be able to tell if it wasn’t for John’s long gone exuberance lol

The news makes the hair go grey
TBF i have the same hair color as Jon and i have been greying at the same rate. 😬
To be fair, John was only in his late 30s there, now he's nearing 50.
Thank you for posting these for those outside of US, John! 😍
I love that John has been banging on the desk in the intro since the very beginning of the show.

Oliver’s Texan accent is amazing and needs to be brought back more often 😂
Thank You, John & Crew! Always.
Wow when this aired I just finished high school...time flies
it’s so wild how far he’s come on his delivery!
full episodes woohoo🥳 thank you John Oliver🎉
From 10 years ago
@@orangeVSappel better than nothing.
Hah I remember watching this with my friends in the dorm room. Feels like a lifetime ago but he’s still hitting it out of the park with each episode
Ahhh, the before times. What a time to be alive. That Ukrane segment at the start has aged beautifully
I don’t think before today John has ever uploaded more than two videos in one day now he has uploaded 24 in one hour
Could use the "first aired on" dates in the description. Great to see these being uploaded though. And a bit sad that... Like always.... Nothing has changed.
Great episode🎉
Thanks for always keeping it informative, humourous and sassy!
Offtopic: the GOT intro still plays in my head after the HBO sound.

OMFG I was NOT ready for the opening bit on Ukraine, this is brutal in retrospect.
I find it incredibly sad. I don’t think many Americans paid much attention when Putin moved into the Crimean peninsula.
I absolutely love this show. Every episode.
Y'all should add the original air date to the description (unless I missed it, in which case thanks for doing that)

I could've sworn John Oliver had hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner at some point since this was recorded.
He didnt. Other Daily Show alum have, like John Stewart, Larry Wilmore and Trevor Noah. Oliver never has.
I got three and a half minutes into this before realizing it wasn’t current
I had to watch it on unofficial account for thia full clip. And after 100s years you uploaded it.
It is quite sad that we're still dealing with these problems a decade later, but with even crazier politicians than before.
Yes! So much John Oliver!!
Haha, we, the country of the lesbian weddings and pastries thank thee for thy offering 😁
Time is a flat circle, last week tonight will be next week tonight too.
I didn’t know they dropped all of season 1 at the same time. I have so much to watch now! Yay
Even his reruns are way better than anything on TV now!
Appreciate the back catalog, would request you include the original airdate in the description though.
It's not just John's looks that aged about 30 years, his cadence sounds a lot more fluid and unrestrained in this clip.
No it doesn't
It’s great to finally be able to see the archives since Max doesn’t have them for the real ones to stream. Could you please ad the original air date to the capition 🙏
Relevance... Wow. From his second episode ever. Wow. +1
+2 at least!
This opening brought me right back to college, good vibes despite the topic 😊
That Ukraine bit aged *perfectly.* I wonder if John had any idea how much of a success his show would become…
Never get enough of Jon. Love him. Funny but factual ❤
