I really appreciate how John has completely adapted his show cause of the coronavirus. At the start, he kept pausing for audiences that weren’t there, but he’s slowly been improving, and this episode it really shows
This is why I love John Oliver. He doesn't just complain or point out the injustices of the world, he always finds a way to do something to help it. We need more people like John.
at first John was obviously feeling awkward shooting at his home studio without an audience, but now you can tell he's much more comfortable doing the show this way. i can feel his studio vibe coming back.
LOL John never disappoints. But, given that he did an episode on Bolsonaro in 2018 I'd love to see him do one on how Bolsonaro is messing up the pandemic in Brazil. The guy is coughing on his own supporters, firing his health ministers and wants the military to step in. There's actually a great video that lays out Bolsonaros handling of the pandemic: th-cam.com/video/z4l36bEME_4/w-d-xo.html
The glee in John's voice as he launches into the explanation of Jelle's Marble Racing is so pure and joyful, something we are all in short supply of currently
I LOVE the implication that the recurring Adam Driver bit is 100% on John, and his staff is just as baffled and morbidly amused by it as we are. But even so, I love the pure glee on John's face even more.
Recurring bits are the best, my favorite being the hand-below-the-desk-coming-up-for-a-zinger-high-five on 'The Colbert Report'. John has Adam Driver and AT&T, but I need more details on how they started. Either way, they're amazing and the Adam Driver one is easily my second-favorite running joke.

When large established late night shows take over TH-cam, a site for independent creators, it is only fair that they support the bread and butter of this site. I LOVE YOU JOHN OLIVER

Found Jelle's Marble Runs thanks to this ep and as a non-sports fan, he's absolutely correct. It is *delightful*. I spent a weekend binging all the past seasons of the marble league and sand races, and I'm now a proud wisp. #WillOfTheWisp
John Oliver: "I really want sports to come back." Translation: "I really want to see Liverpool FC win its first Premier League title in 30 years on the field, and not be awarded the title as a technicality that some people will endlessly dispute"
You know what? I'm with you. I watch Jelle's races and 3Dbotmaker's races since the announcers are kinda on point for a couple of toys. They can laugh at us together.
As a long time fan of Jelle's Marble Runs, there is such a HUGE smile on my face right now! I'm so proud of the creators and the fan base for becoming such a big thing for something so wholesome. Also, GO OCEANICS! I know we had a bad year last year, but we're on the comeback, I'm sure our new coach will help a lot.
@AmishRiot I don’t know how but sometimes it seems like there’s something more than luck there cause some teams really are consistently better. You just gotta check it out for yourself tho.
@AmishRiot Why would anyone care about any other sport? The way you get into Marble Competitions is by looking at the logos, names and story backgrounds, picking one or two teams that you like, preferably one who is top tier and a low tier one, and give them your unconditional support. I got into it a bit before the league started, so I picked Jawbreakers and Hazers, mostly because they have the coolest names, the Jawbreakers were a mess and did not qualify for the league, which left me with the Hazers, and they were just the most mediocre of them all, 8/16 constantly, it was infuriating, but after a race in which they ended up in 16/16, they have now won a gold and a silver in the last two matches. One of which Foggy the athlete who was running, managed to win the final going from last place to first in the last section, ending the mediocrity streak. Is a Marble League really dumb in the end? Yes, but every sport is, Football or Baseball is only important because people give it some importance and get emotionally attached to some meaningless thing, no matter how well played a match is, it will not directly affect anyone who does not care for it. This is just a convenient, very high paced fun sport, with a vibrant community on Reddit, Discord and especially on TH-cam, reading the user comments and memes on these platforms after a match is always fun. I like the idea of sports, but TBH I won't watch E-Sports or real Sports because they take way too long, the games last always more than an hour to justify selling seats. But, nice juicy 10 minute videos with different teams, some to love, some to hate, honestly seems like the best sport to get into, even if it is factually really dumb. Here's the TH-cam Page - th-cam.com/users/jellesmarbleruns Here's the Reddit Page - www.reddit.com/r/JellesMarbleRuns/ Here's the Discord Page - discord.me/marbles
When your heroes forced to save you, or their kids will starve, that's not really a *decision*, isn't it? The US this far shows the worst outcomes, the third of all infected, almost a hundred thousands dead, and it's not only Trump's fault, Democrats are just as corrupt. If you have any respect for people carried you through this pandemic - support them when they will rise to protests, infact, many of them already do.
I do respect how John always figures out a way to raise money for small causes. I would also love to see him do a video on the situation in Brazil with Bolsonaro who claims that "it's just a flu" and has suggested that the military should step in to force reopening. This of course from a guy with great love for Brazil's past military dictatorship. There's a great video about the pandemic in Brazil and Bolsonaros authoritarian tendencies: th-cam.com/video/z4l36bEME_4/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately looking at your lost marbles racing on TH-cam does not bring them back. You are still couple short. And watching marble races is a good indicator of that

Orangers need to step up their recruitment strategies and training regiments, because while we've got some amazing athletes, the team as a whole has been widely inconsistent.
Adrian Adams I hate the o’rangers with a fucking passion (which is remarkable, because they are fucking marbles), but you’re right. They have been all over the place recently!
I had missed that we were at risk of losing the marble league last year until the sponsorship came through. Knowing that now, I am so much more grateful that you stepped in to help. The marble league is honestly the highlight of every summer for me and has been since 2016, so to lose it now would have been devastating. Thank you, John Oliver!
The best cut to Adam Driver yet. I was PRAYING when we ended the list with 'driver' that this was where it was going, and I was 1M% not let down. 'Choke slam me to hell you nasty shed.' And he finally acknowledges that whole thing. LOVE. LOOOVE.
The other good thing about GoT ending is that a once-great show that had slipped into a soul-crushingly awful parody of itself was finally put out of its misery and former fans could begin the healing/forgetting process.
I can't believe how much traction that channel got. The races are just so compelling. I feel bad for unsubbing last year. The videos were dominating my recommendations and it burnt me out. I didn't realize so many people were aware of it. Imagine my shock when I get recommended Jelle again, watch it on a whim, and find out it's sponsored by John fucking Oliver. It's like finding out about vanilla and chocolate swirl all over again. This year's events were so great. Had some really dramatic moments, some shocking upsets, and the same energy that would make competitive knitting exciting. #TidePride
Right?! He always does stuff that elicits that response! There’s been multiple times during his show where he’s made a reveal, and I honestly got choked up
I about screamed when the marbles came on, and to think he's a sponsor makes me genuinely happy and that in itself is proof that this pandemic is driving me insane.
Reminds me of this sitcom episode where this woman had 8 kids, and while in labor with her 9th she was playing cards and said Doctor, don't worry about being late when he had to check on another patient, we can do this ourselves.
My brother was no 4 hours old when my parents stopped to get BBQ supplys (my mom waiting in the car with im) vs. Me who had no medical reasons to stay in hospital for 4 days.
I'm just gonna drop what someone wiser than myself on the Internet said better than I could: "All these billionaires telling people to risk their lives to get back to work reveals one thing: they don't make their money. *You* do."
So, anybody who works for an organisation with a billionaire owner has never taken home a paycheck according to your logic. According to you, 100% of the money generated by said person's good and/or service went directly to their billionaire CEO. Whoever made this comment isn't wise but rather uneducated and ignorant. Not a single person in the USA is forced by law to go work for a private sector organisation.
I cannot overstate this. Jelle's Marble Runs is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet. The TH-cam Channel, their Facebook and Reddit pages, it's just wonderful! I'm hooked.
@Raegar Buchanan Truly, the Oceanics are the Seattle Mariners of marbles: flashes of brilliance in a blue moon, otherwise you wonder why they're even here. And also, SA-VAGE SPEED-ERS! *clap clap, clap clap clap*
And there it is again: One of those inspiring empowering moments that happen whenever John funnels HBOs money in an unexpected direction to weigh in on an awesome cause that can make a wild difference on peoples lives.
He cannot tell a lie. Unlike Trump making the face I made when I told my friends at 12, “yeah I took marijuana too, once” when referring to Hydrocoloriquine.
I love you John! That was a marbellous move! Thank you for sponsorshipping this great event! I follow Jelle's channel since 2017 and I really find awesome that the runner of the show I watch since 2016 is joining the game! I hope you can interview the winners at last :D
I have been a fan of Jelles Marble Runs for a long time now... Long before their original channel took a hit. Then came the time when Formula E got into the game with them and now this... It's just unbelievable how something like marble racing was mostly viewed by a few like myself and now John is their main sponsor. (orangers fan here!)
@@SadisticSenpai61 Or Adam just stared at him like "I will fuckin murder you, you weird little parrot" but John is like "oooh he's smitten by my British mittens, must remember to slip him my roomkey."

There's actually a great video that lays out Bolsonaros handling of the pandemic: th-cam.com/video/z4l36bEME_4/w-d-xo.html
Just went back to this, league's still going strong and im so glad this made it to the international stage like this. And the Oceanics are still a mess

OK... i cannot wait to see "Jelle's Marble Runs" brought to you by "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver"... I have been watching Jelle's for about 3 years now... This is just... so good.
so mister Driver, it says here you're "ready to slide your hard, gargantuan probe all the way to the bottom of our company's Mariana trench like the telegraph pole equivalent of a hot researcher from some gay porno." care to elaborate on that?
Adam Mcinerney I've never watched any, but those vids for so & so reads thirst tweets keeps coming into my feed, if he did a reaction to Mr Oliver's, I'd almost certainly watch it

John sponsoring a Marble League was so out of left field but also makes complete sense for this show. Welp, I know what I'm watching for the next few months.
HBO: "Now that everyone is quarantined John can't waste our money on stupid shenanigans anymore" John: *Sponsors a marble racing league over the internet*
I mean, they are sinking like $20 million for a crap filmmaker (Zack Snyder) to rejigger one of his crappier films (Justice League) so a few thousand to sponsor a marble league seems like an incredibly smart use of their money by comparison
HBO: "You've really come up with another stunt to blow our money on in quarantine?" John: "Oh *fuck* yes." HBO: *sighs* "At least this one is better than rat porn..."
can this show PLEASE cover this years AP Exams and the entire College Board fiasco that occurred because COVID kicked us out of school. The AP exams trended worldwide on twitter, College Board repeatedly blamed students for glitches that were their own server fault, forcing students into retakes that will happen months later, and international students were forced to take their exams at inexcusably bad times such as 12 am, 2 am, and 4 am, a 10,000 signature petition pleading for separate international tests was met with a weak apology from College Board. All of this struggle and is students paid $94 dollars for a test that was originally four hours long and on paper in actual facilities, but was instead ~45 minutes on our own devices and internet and considerably worse than we could have ever imagined. College Board is fronting as a nonprofit it making millions of dollars a year capitalizing on hardworking students, a lot of who are from lower income areas because these already will omit them from college courses which cost more. College Board has effectively and harmfully monopolized our education system and this year we really saw the effects and reach that this company has. I know I speak for many other frustrated and tired students when I say that bringing some light to these issues within our education system would be powerful and it’s effects would be felt deeply.
You should word this in an email, I don't believe they read their YT comments for content. They also might not do it because they did a longish exposee on Collegeboard before and the cheating that happens. Though if they do a piece on students & Covid, I feel they definitely will.
California did away with SAT's and ACT's as criteria for admissions . screw the College Board dontt take the tests anymore. they are biased tests anyways
I just went over and checked out Jelle's Marble League, and it was great!. Thank you LWT for sponsoring there channel, this is such a great thing to do given our current situation.
You're right, but I suspect you were being ironic in that not really intended to communicate anything at all but your self-arrogated sense of 'woke'fulness. Look up 'postmodernism.'
I think there was a DOA movie too with a tournament island. Edit: also there’s the “isle of man” for motorcycle racing. It’s like a real place people live tho so don’t think it counts.
I've been watching Jelle's Marble Runs for a few years now, ever since OzzyMan Reviews pointed me to it. I'm happy to see it getting much more traction and having a sponsor like this to let the good work continue!
OzzyMan's commentary is literally the only thing that can improve Jelle's Marble Runs, other than sponsorship by a major national network of course. How cool would it be if they got him on as a semi-regular guest commentator?!
Over the last few episodes, John’s increasing obsession with Adam Driver made we worry that he’d lost his marbles. Then he started talking about and investing in marbles. I am satisfactorily assured that his marbles are in place!
Couldn't agree more. As someone who is not a big sports fan I could watch hours of those marbles and the work that goes into those videos is well worth the finished product. So glad two of my favorite things are collaborating now.
"Third child, not even sure the mother needs to be there." As a third child, this offends me, but also, I am the son of a third child, and she can confirm that this is completely accurate.
@@johnfaber100 oh I'm sure that's what you meant, but you said your mother can confirm that a mother doesn't need to be there for the birth of the third child.
Sorry to jump on your comment John this is aimed at the general audience. This is going to be callus, Fact the average age of people dying of the virus without underlying causes, is higher than the average life expectancy. The trolls had it right "It's just the flu Bro" Lots of good points though liked the bit about the UF-Sea
@@WH40KHero That's a fact. I found a link to JMR on a discussion in Ars Technica a few days ago and checked it out thinking it was going to be silly. 30 minutes later and I can't take my eyes off of it. It is weirdly compelling.
I like how well Oliver adapted to the change in setting. His pacing got faster than it was before, which makes me happy seeing that his punch lines were spoiled as soon as he gave his nonexistent studio audience a moment to laugh in earlier episodes where he's in quarantine.
Some More News is also great about this, but they never had a live audience, so it wasn't really even a transition. It's nice, because of the differing style and topics, neither shows really overlap, so both are great to watch each week.
Okay. I have anxiety and started watching these amazing marble races two years ago. Edit: They helped take my mind off anxious comcepts. They are amazing, and I’m so glad they’re finally getting their time to shine.
So many quotable things in this episode: - The continuation of the Adam Driver bit. - The UFseas. - The Second and Third child birth not being worth a f** And of course; The Marble tournament!! This one as been the best episode of this entire show.
you have to see the one where he did a musical bit telling some coal millionaire to go f themselves after they won the lawsuit he filed against hbo. that's the best one in my book.
@@marquisdelafayette1929 Sorry but I consider both Gritty and the musical outro mentioned by @cwright272 to in a league of their own. Although the bits I listed are fun those 2 are waaaaay ahead and can't be describe by such simple words. Also what a cool name, to bad you're a Philly fan. jk

Also, GO OCEANICS! I know we had a bad year last year, but we're on the comeback, I'm sure our new coach will help a lot.
the Savage Speeders always get robbed!! but yes I’m so excited that Jelle’s getting this level of notoriety!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rangers gonna win. you can fall in line behind us. That is, if u make it out of qualification after last year
Yes OOOOOOOOOO-Rangers
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It is just a lesson in perpetual disappointment to be a Raspberry Racer fan. I shall suffer on.
Me, watching my first marble video two years ago: "Ha ha, this is dumb."
Me at 7AM the next morning: "ONE MORE VIDEO THEN SLEEP"
@AmishRiot How dare you.
@AmishRiot I don’t know how but sometimes it seems like there’s something more than luck there cause some teams really are consistently better. You just gotta check it out for yourself tho.
@AmishRiot Why would anyone care about any other sport? The way you get into Marble Competitions is by looking at the logos, names and story backgrounds, picking one or two teams that you like, preferably one who is top tier and a low tier one, and give them your unconditional support.
I got into it a bit before the league started, so I picked Jawbreakers and Hazers, mostly because they have the coolest names, the Jawbreakers were a mess and did not qualify for the league, which left me with the Hazers, and they were just the most mediocre of them all, 8/16 constantly, it was infuriating, but after a race in which they ended up in 16/16, they have now won a gold and a silver in the last two matches. One of which Foggy the athlete who was running, managed to win the final going from last place to first in the last section, ending the mediocrity streak.
Is a Marble League really dumb in the end? Yes, but every sport is, Football or Baseball is only important because people give it some importance and get emotionally attached to some meaningless thing, no matter how well played a match is, it will not directly affect anyone who does not care for it.
This is just a convenient, very high paced fun sport, with a vibrant community on Reddit, Discord and especially on TH-cam, reading the user comments and memes on these platforms after a match is always fun.
I like the idea of sports, but TBH I won't watch E-Sports or real Sports because they take way too long, the games last always more than an hour to justify selling seats. But, nice juicy 10 minute videos with different teams, some to love, some to hate, honestly seems like the best sport to get into, even if it is factually really dumb.

When your heroes forced to save you, or their kids will starve, that's not really a *decision*, isn't it? The US this far shows the worst outcomes, the third of all infected, almost a hundred thousands dead, and it's not only Trump's fault, Democrats are just as corrupt. If you have any respect for people carried you through this pandemic - support them when they will rise to protests, infact, many of them already do.

The world’s losing its marbles. Glad we’re getting some back via John’s generosity.

I do respect how John always figures out a way to raise money for small causes. I would also love to see him do a video on the situation in Brazil with Bolsonaro who claims that "it's just a flu" and has suggested that the military should step in to force reopening. This of course from a guy with great love for Brazil's past military dictatorship. There's a great video about the pandemic in Brazil and Bolsonaros authoritarian tendencies: th-cam.com/video/z4l36bEME_4/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately looking at your lost marbles racing on TH-cam does not bring them back. You are still couple short. And watching marble races is a good indicator of that
That is fucked up.

I have a feeling that Adam Driver is going to show up at the end of the season.
Well, that would be quite a mmmm...climax.

Tide Pride was fucking painful last year! Well, this year, we’ll crush it!
It’s crazy that some marbles teams can be shit and other can take all the gold
Orangers need to step up their recruitment strategies and training regiments, because while we've got some amazing athletes, the team as a whole has been widely inconsistent.

That "I'm not even sure the mother has to be there" line was genuinely funny

Thats kinda how i really felt after my 3rd kid everything was kinda routine and going through the motions

@@OjaysReel I'm a 4th one. I guess not even us babies had to be there ;-)
I'd say John's lost his marbles, but he's reassured us that they're in a roundup for the first race.
You lose some marbles - you sponsor some marbles!
To make marbles you have to break some marbles
I ment marvels but i dont eant to get sued by marbel company and their dizzy commics
I had missed that we were at risk of losing the marble league last year until the sponsorship came through. Knowing that now, I am so much more grateful that you stepped in to help. The marble league is honestly the highlight of every summer for me and has been since 2016, so to lose it now would have been devastating. Thank you, John Oliver!
I've been following Jelle's Marble Runs for close to a year now (and John for several)... this is incredible, a collab I never would have imagined 😆

#HazeAmaze Now all the Marble Run Fans get out of hiding because we are a legit sport now. Uncle John said so :D
The best cut to Adam Driver yet. I was PRAYING when we ended the list with 'driver' that this was where it was going, and I was 1M% not let down. 'Choke slam me to hell you nasty shed.' And he finally acknowledges that whole thing. LOVE. LOOOVE.
the only good thing that came of Game of Thrones ending is that John apparently inherited the budget
Amazing! Even John Oliver said HBO had become a dragon-based economy.
@@baardkopperud But John breathes just as much fire as a dragon so it all balances out in the end.
I think they're also saving a lot of money not baking giant cakes or having huge dance numbers
@@StupendousMan461 I was just wondering which cost more: sponsoring the marble league or the giant cake.....?
The other good thing about GoT ending is that a once-great show that had slipped into a soul-crushingly awful parody of itself was finally put out of its misery and former fans could begin the healing/forgetting process.
I can't believe how much traction that channel got. The races are just so compelling. I feel bad for unsubbing last year. The videos were dominating my recommendations and it burnt me out. I didn't realize so many people were aware of it. Imagine my shock when I get recommended Jelle again, watch it on a whim, and find out it's sponsored by John fucking Oliver. It's like finding out about vanilla and chocolate swirl all over again. This year's events were so great. Had some really dramatic moments, some shocking upsets, and the same energy that would make competitive knitting exciting. #TidePride
I don’t know why I started crying when John said they’re fully funding the marble run. This is such a special show
Right?! He always does stuff that elicits that response! There’s been multiple times during his show where he’s made a reveal, and I honestly got choked up
Me too!!! I started tearing up!
It's midnight where I am and I nearly screamed and woke my family up. I'm so proud
He is the perfect sponsor of anything with marbles, moving or lost.
Agreed, I was so excited, I have been a fan since they had to 150K subscribers.
I about screamed when the marbles came on, and to think he's a sponsor makes me genuinely happy and that in itself is proof that this pandemic is driving me insane.

@Shlomo Goldsteinberg It's like the sports teams in reverse.
The Adam Driver bit went on longer than expected, and was well deserved.
can this show PLEASE cover this years AP Exams and the entire College Board fiasco that occurred because COVID kicked us out of school. The AP exams trended worldwide on twitter, College Board repeatedly blamed students for glitches that were their own server fault, forcing students into retakes that will happen months later, and international students were forced to take their exams at inexcusably bad times such as 12 am, 2 am, and 4 am, a 10,000 signature petition pleading for separate international tests was met with a weak apology from College Board. All of this struggle and is students paid $94 dollars for a test that was originally four hours long and on paper in actual facilities, but was instead ~45 minutes on our own devices and internet and considerably worse than we could have ever imagined. College Board is fronting as a nonprofit it making millions of dollars a year capitalizing on hardworking students, a lot of who are from lower income areas because these already will omit them from college courses which cost more. College Board has effectively and harmfully monopolized our education system and this year we really saw the effects and reach that this company has. I know I speak for many other frustrated and tired students when I say that bringing some light to these issues within our education system would be powerful and it’s effects would be felt deeply.
I couldn't take the exams because of reasons unrelated to COVID-19, but with everything that happened, I'm kind of glad I DIDN'T take them!
You should word this in an email, I don't believe they read their YT comments for content.
They also might not do it because they did a longish exposee on Collegeboard before and the cheating that happens. Though if they do a piece on students & Covid, I feel they definitely will.
Thank you for mentioning this! The College Board is crooked. Please email the show and various parts of the media using what you typed word for word.
@@samaraisnt They can't read emails as it's unsolicited. The only way to get a response from any company is to put it on twitter and @ them.

I hope one day Adam Driver makes an apearance in this show and adresses John's comments hahahhaha

This is going to be callus, Fact the average age of people dying of the virus without underlying causes, is higher than the average life expectancy. The trolls had it right "It's just the flu Bro" Lots of good points though liked the bit about the UF-Sea
"third child? Im not even sure the mother has to be there"
Plot twist im the third child

I should have expected John to sponsor the Marble League by now. Why would I think otherwise?
Okay I'm only 8 minutes in but as soon as I click on the video I was like John Oliver probably likes watching the marble races
He sponsered them, I am dead 😂😂😂
I will only be watching JMR if John gets a team called “Adam’s Drivers“. Bonus points if their coach, or whatever JMR does, is Adam Driver.
This. This should happen
Dont worry. Jelles Marbles are infectious, once you get into it you will never want to get out
Yes! Yes please!
@@WH40KHero That's a fact. I found a link to JMR on a discussion in Ars Technica a few days ago and checked it out thinking it was going to be silly. 30 minutes later and I can't take my eyes off of it. It is weirdly compelling.
19:51 I love John's smug face right when he is saying how the Marble league is in danger, you just know he can't wait to announce his sponsorship
Yeah, you watch enough LWT, you *know* what's coming!
I just watched the qualifiers. 22 minutes and 25 seconds of joy.
Momo Barely won 😳 #MOMO2020
@@rowdyeggplaad578 Mo carried us in, and the rest of the team responded
@@benkimmel8412 yes
This video has so many good bits and then the marble league ending was just the cherry on top, this man is a hero
My 4 year old son has been watching marble races for a while now. He's gonna be shocked when he sees it on "the big TV" lol.

you shoud show him the marblelimpics its weirdly fun to watch
I like how well Oliver adapted to the change in setting. His pacing got faster than it was before, which makes me happy seeing that his punch lines were spoiled as soon as he gave his nonexistent studio audience a moment to laugh in earlier episodes where he's in quarantine.
I don't know what it is but he's the only late night host I can still watch.
Totally agree. im happy he was able to adapt. its going to be weird when the audience returns.
@@BensonBoy2019 I think he'll get along fine
Everyone else just got super cringy since being quarantined. Jon is such a breath of fresh air honestly.
Some More News is also great about this, but they never had a live audience, so it wasn't really even a transition. It's nice, because of the differing style and topics, neither shows really overlap, so both are great to watch each week.
Okay. I have anxiety and started watching these amazing marble races two years ago. Edit: They helped take my mind off anxious comcepts. They are amazing, and I’m so glad they’re finally getting their time to shine.
John Oliver is the first person who, by doing something crazy, actually found his marbles.
I’m your 69th like
That was pretty damn clever
hopefully he doesnt go momo momo.

And the UFC has just trademarked "UFSEA", John Oliver you did it again!
Did they for real????
@@miss1of2
Yes
Which makes no sense because it's an island, not a sea.
@@nomnom112 I agree, but UFISLE just doesn't have a ring to it, ya know?
@@nomnom112 yeah, but the idea is that they want to do UFC out on the sea.
That puppy was SO HAPPY. He got to help his human with weightlifting AND be continually snuggled.
Puppy... Fat dog yeah... Puppy nah

@@NaerenVastir take a deep breath. It's nothing to get upset about. Differing opinions are normal. Are you ok?
I didn't know I needed marble races with F1 sounds overlayed but I very much need more of this in my life!!
It’s like John Oliver knows when I’m about to go to sleep
He knows!!
John Oliver also knows your social security number and your credit card details.
I know right?
Dude I literally said to myself "if I refresh and nothing's there I'm gonna sleep"
At 8AM ;)
So many quotable things in this episode:
- The continuation of the Adam Driver bit.
- The UFseas.
- The Second and Third child birth not being worth a f**
And of course; The Marble tournament!!
This one as been the best episode of this entire show.
you have to see the one where he did a musical bit telling some coal millionaire to go f themselves after they won the lawsuit he filed against hbo. that's the best one in my book.

@@marquisdelafayette1929 Yes I loved the Gritty vid
@@marquisdelafayette1929 Sorry but I consider both Gritty and the musical outro mentioned by @cwright272 to in a league of their own. Although the bits I listed are fun those 2 are waaaaay ahead and can't be describe by such simple words.
Also what a cool name, to bad you're a Philly fan. jk
Everyone: "Is this sexual? Or, is it violent?"
John Oliver: "Yes!"
Logicians: "this answer is correct"
it's all so perverted....haHHhHHHahH🍆🍑
.......... He's going to keep doing that until something about it.
Only if you want to be
He is such a memer :D
The punchline of the Adam Driver segment genuinely made me scream with laughter. I have no words.
