@@soldiaz7261 because those types of rants where I’m being yelled at aren’t funny. His message is lost. I don’t watch a lot of his shows because of those types of rants.

Phenomenally magical masterpiece of an episode, John!! 💖🏆🙌🏻💐 Thank goodness for you and your team bringing us so much wisdom and joy! 🙏🏻🥰💖🫰🏻Thank you!!!
That confused me. Cant you just block all unknown calls. And block known callers. I dont understand how people just answer a call from unknown numbers. He said something about free call blocking service? This is so alien to me
The only problem with that is when you are expecting a call from say a medical facility or a service tech and you have to answer all the calls to make sure it isn't the one you're waiting on. 🙄
Yes, when the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY was started, Cell Phones were actually protected, it was illegal and a crime to call a cell phone with ANY TYPE of AUTOMATED SYSTEM. So, yes, cell phones were OFF LIMITS back then.
I paid off my card when I was abroad in 2017 but there was an error & I never got told, never used the card again..a year later they chased it down, I paid off half and they closed it out. Then collectors from portfolio recovery started spamming me 5-6 times a day from then on, I've gotten their BS calls daily for the next 7 years, hoping it stops this year haha
I'm glad John Oliver from Last Week Tonight, or as I call him, John Oliver, is able to make Trump funny... cause frankly I can't see it by itself. Whenever Trump talks, I feel like I'm tied to a pier getting hit by waves of seafoam and trash.
I received one of those "this is your nephew and I need money for bail" calls. Apparently, he had run over a pedestrian and was in jail. When I told him I had already helped him hide the body from his last traffic accident, there was a confused "huh?" on the other end and he quickly hung up!
@@Jamietheroadrunneryour cat opens its eyes, looks at you, says, hey the house is burning down, curls back up and goes back to sleep.

@@purplebull013 Why not? Because the man, a convicted felon and inveterate liar, is deranged and does not come even close to representing the basics of American government and the good of mainstream American citizens. That's why not.
Democrats are high-minded. The concerns are the whole and at a meta level. Republicans speak directly to the lowest common denominator of selfish, single-issue people. Oh, and while people have pretended this isn’t a factor: democrats keep running minorities as candidates. If Kamala was “Christopher Harris,” the race would be a landslide. I’m voting blue early. I’m not going back.
When they used the old jeeps, they couldn't hold all the mail for a specific route, so a larger truck would drop off the route's mail there, except for the first section. Then the carrier would go there and refill his truck. I think each route had one.
I have a PHX phone number and a Chicago phone number on the same phone (dual SIM), and I don't live near either city. It really does help to know when not to answer.
Christians are always eager to share their favorite Bible passage with you and why it’s their favorite. They aren’t afraid they’re going to make other passages feel left out.
For two years or so, I have been getting 30-40 scam calls every day. Most of them are Indian scammers. And they all look like they're coming from the US, most from my state. I have to pick up some because if they're from towns where my doctors and other medical professionals are located, it may be someone I need to talk to. I have a lot of health issues. I'm also disabled and home most of the time, and sometimes I need to nap for long periods of time during the day. I silence my phone but I still hear the buzzing and it often keeps me from resting properly. I have tried ignoring them but that hasn't even decreased the amount of calls I'm getting. It also makes it really hard to do anything else on my phone when I'm constantly interrupted with the screen changing to an incoming call.
I got a couple of robo-calls from a company selling funeral services. They tend to say their name so quickly, if they even provide that, and quickly say the name of the company so that you don't understand them (probably so you can't report them to the FCC). Each time I said I didn't need a plan, but on the 2nd one, I asked for them to stop calling me and to take me off their calling list. The lady actually told me to F-off and called me a mother-F'er, and threw in a F-you. Then she proceeded to call me up to 7 times a day using spoofing phone numbers. I finally just let numbers I didn't have in my contact list ring until they hung up or quickly shifted it to voicemail. If no message was left, I blocked the number they used (even though there are millions of numbers they can spoof with). After 3 months, the numbers of calls are finally starting to decrease.
5:34 - EVERY TIME this clip is shown I just LOVE how they have a WuTang Clan sticker on their iPad. Which of those white dudes has the WuTang pad? Love it 🤣🤣💙💙💙💙💙
I may get up to 5 a week, usually even less than that, most often it may be only 1 or 2, if that. I have told companies I deal with, call me with a GD Robot Caller, and I'll HANG UP, then BLOCK YOUR NUMBER. No REAL LIVE PERSON, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. Sure has cut down on the number of automated calls I receive. And if my phone reports the number as suspected spam I automatically block them, those calls never get answered. Blocking numbers I don't ever want to hear from again is great. No stamps, no mailing in requests, just block their number and done!
Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll answer these scam calls (hoping to get a live person because it's more fun) but when I think I'm talking to a robot I will ask them to say the word potato. Generally the call will disconnect because the robot can't say potato. Also, if at anytime the robot asks you a yes/no question, most often "Can you hear me?" NEVER say "yes" because if you do they will ruin your MF'ing life. Scammers can use this tactic to record your voice saying "yes" and then use that recording to fraudulently authorize purchases or other actions on your accounts, essentially confirming your identity without your knowledge or consent.
I love that this popped up now. Because here we are, nearing 2025. I wish something had happened. I have had 27 phone calls this last week. My phone blocked 21 of them automatically (thank you technology) however, the other 4 were robocalls/scam calls. And 2 were my brother, because we got disconnected during our one call. It took for technology to make the step, not the FCC... I am kind of sad this didn't pan out like it should have.
Im watching these to prepare myself for the next 4 -80 years!
John Oliver is the biggest troll with the biggest budget and I'm SO HERE for this! Muhaha
Pure Genius and Comedy GOLD!

Trolls usually lie. John doesn't
John Oliver is a man of the people. If he is the reason robocalls cease to exist, that would be legendary.

Great job John !
John Oliver real solutions for real problem
I have a phone number that isn't from where I live, so any number with that area code, I know it's a scam.
I have a PHX phone number and a Chicago phone number on the same phone (dual SIM), and I don't live near either city. It really does help to know when not to answer.
If I have to fake my favorite thing, I would at least use wikipedia for fundamentals. Trump cant even lie properly.
Seriously the best video ever.
"By 2020 nearly half of all calls will be scam calls." And then instead, 80+% of calls became scam calls~
This is a great episode of community
18:30 It made his elbow try to break out of his shirt!
... no one ever show John Oliver my signature. 😂😂😂😅😭
Mine either. I NEVER sign my signature the same way, every time it's different, prevents some damn scam scum from forging it.🤨🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh I JUST got a robo call before logging in to UA-cam. Wild.
The Bible-bit has aged like fine wine😂
I bet he called him Apple on purpose to insult him, like he wasn’t even important enough to remember.
And only Trump would be stupid enough to think his brand is bigger than Apple.
He makes good ol George w look like a certified genius
I mentioned this episode when I worked at a phone manufacturer's customer service line and my boss got mad at me lol
That pushbutton oversized finger was hilarious and perfect.
Bravo!
Love the Johnny’s acting up again dance! ❤
Im devastated to say that someone asking Trump if hes holding his bible and he went "its A bible" is one of the funniest things ive ever seen.
I will never get tired of John constantly mocking his “business daddy AT&T” especially as someone who currently has to deal with AT&T on a daily basis

Big miss on the term robocalls. Way too specific. Scam calls are the problem

OMG I've never wanted more cheese than I do right now.
Dunkin Donuts should have a Mascot 😢
The reason these calls will not stop is because the carriers get paid for each call.
I think the prediction about robocalls is right, I get way more robocalls in a day than I get real calls in a week, it's not even close.
