You know this release of the entire first season has really shown me how much of Last Week Tonight I’ve actually never seen
I was wondering if John Oliver started dying his hair haha
Thought. I was the only one 😮 still love all of them
Is that what's going on ... I was a little lost with the old references lol. Thanks.
Same. I've only ever seen the main story segments, like Sugar in this case.
Oooooooh! NOW it makes sense... THAT explains why he thinks that Rob Ford is still alive, let alone the current mayor of Toronto, and why he thinks Doug Ford is running for his brother's position instead of being the shitheel premiere of Ontario... xD I was so confused! In hindsight, I can see now that it very clearly says "season 1" right in the title, but I paid that absolutely no mind whatsoever. xDDD I just saw "Doug Ford" and "1 month ago" and clicked. 'x3
The Jane Goodall interview, hysterical!
I'm glad John knew when to back off with the whole "pet" provocation-she really looked like she was going to take a swing at him.
But that vocalization lesson at the end was incredible.
@@GSBarlevbut they’re so funny-“
-“No They’re Not.”
Lol
I’m pretty sure these are edited together and he’s not the original interviewer
I love how she was a good sport, and man this lady has more balls than most of us, even if this interview is fake ^ ^
@@marcoiai
yeah, backbone!
& I love how she teaches this monkey in a suit..
Sobering, yet wonderful to see these original shows, complete. Thank you to everyone at Last Week who made this possible. And thank you, John, for everything. Don't leave--we still need you!
Isnt it nice to see what we were worried about before 2016.
Doug Ford is from a literal crime family, and he's still running Ontario, lol. Canada's Orban.
i was so confused when he mentioned Gone Girl like it was a new movie, and then the court cases he was mentioning WEREN'T trump related. lol
It's actually insane how much of these topics are still relevant (more apparent in other episodes). That's what I really like.
Russian aggression, dietary public health, and international virus epidemics? Not everything's changed
@@christopher2353 💀💀💀
I am Canadian and unfortunately Doug Ford has been Premier of Ontario since 2018, the province that I live in. We call him Thuggy Dougy.
I’m Nova Scotian and that’s the best nickname and insult for a Premier ever. We just got Tim ‘we have a problem’ Houston
Ford needs to get voted out!
And Rob won’t be running for anything anytime soon. Unless they have Mayors in heaven.
I regard Doug Ford as the Premier of Toronto. It does seem to be his preoccupation. Places like Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton and Windsor are largely are an afterthought.
I call him Dog Food
Doug Ford failed spectacularly in his 2014 run for Mayor but a lot of people forgot his constant screwups in that campaign and rewarded him with the Premiership of Ontario in 2018.
It’s 2024 and Doug, with his 2 terms in office, has continued to be a screwup.
I hate how literally no one voted in the last general election. Only around 40% of eligible voters casted ballots and that POS won. If most people voted we probably would've had an NDP government.
We need to vote him out next time. I think a lot more people have been affected by his greedy corrupt policies now and will be kicking him out, I know I will be.
@@AUG_XZABER it was 34% and took the premiership with only 18% of the popular vote of eligible voters. How sad is that.
@@Gaetano.94 I get so mad just thinking about it. I'm gonna volunteer for the NDP next election, because we need a government that supports labour rights and unions now more than ever, and because I hate Ford so much.
@@AUG_XZABER I agree with you. I'm a centrist (like most Canadians used to be) and not sure who I would be voting for.
Jane Goodall was top A category human being who understood the core values of respect and compassion and brought that message to the world. Thank you Jane Goodall for everything.
You and Jane Goodall was.a golden moment with a brilliant woman! Thank you🇺🇸
John Oliver is so lucky!
tbh, I love the "added sugars" line on food labels! I feel like we've really come a long way in random sugar getting added to things (or I just go out of my way to find things with zero or low added sugar). Cool to see something John Oliver highlighted actually came to pass!
Edit: The fact "added sugars" is in grams makes... complete sense to me? The serving sizes are measured in grams, now you can do easy math to find out that 50% of Honeycombs cereal is sugar. It's WEIRD that people say "22 tsps" of sugar like that MEANS ANYTHING (it's ~92g, btw).
Teaspoons aren't even weight measurements, they're volume measurements. Mixing up weight with volume has ruined many recipes
my daughter actually liked circus peanuts when she was little...she ate one at a kid's birthday party and was hooked LoL
I agree. When rewatching this I was like OMG i use that added sugar label all the time! I forgot it was a recent thing!
Grams actually make way more sense, because the amount of sugars you add varies depending on the type of sugar. For granulated, it's about 4.2 grams per teaspoon, but for a powdered sugar it's about 2,5 grams per tsp. So basically, teaspoons do not make sense as a measuring tool for added sugars.
@@Otto42 Oh? Interesting. I woulda thought powdered sugar would have a greater mass per volume than granular sugar... TIL
You guys should include the original date the episode aired in the description for context.
Agreed, but jesus christ has a lot of this stuff stayed relevant 8 years later
It says the the season and episode number in the title. Stop being lazy and look it up if you want context.
@@luisgomez8635 ha, found the intern who's been uploading the shows up all night
@@luisgomez8635people are actually allowed to be a little bit lazy when they’re watching john oliver reruns, and a show that primarily covers recent news should be clear when the news they’re posting about isn’t recent because not everyone even knows that they SHOULD look up the date it aired.
why are you so offended that people are asking for the tiniest bit of convenience?
I’m rather enjoying how well these episodes have aged - as in, some of them are still current.
I've been watching like 4 hours of John Oliver a day for the last week. Please send help
Me too help
You are not alone 😀
No. You guys are in a good place. Just lay back and take it in, Daddy Oliver ain’t gonna hurt you.
why, are you almost out of content?
@@distracted-dad At the time of my comment they were uploading every full episode from every earlier season. You can never run out of content on UA-cam.
10 years later and Doug Ford has shown he's far more corrupt and inept than we ever could've imagined.
You really need to do an update on premier Doug ford
It's amazing to see the changes they made in pacing of the episode through out the first season.. especially these final episodes where John really found the "grove" we know and love in later seasons
*"groove" - Unless there was some part of this show that regularly features groves of oranges (aka orchards) that I've been missing out on all this time.
stupiddddd
@@moogle68They keep em in the studio audience; half the seats just have trees in pots
@@asamlos 😂 well played.
He found a bunch of orange trees?
I love Jane Goodall so much. I was lucky enough to see her speak somewhat recently and she brings those stuffed animals with her everywhere apparently. She’s such an amazing woman and scientist.
S1 E22 (aired October 26, 2014)
Thank you!!
Thanks John!
thank you so much for commenting it!
Now if only we could pin your comments on each of these videos and delete the obnoxious amount of comments asking (but not looking) for this information.
Very nice 🧐
Actually a fascinating study came out just last week about sentience among animals. There is now strong evidence that all vertibrae but also creatures like bees have a varying degree of sentience, self awareness and awareness of life. Many of us should really (re)consider our levels of empathy towards animals. The Jane Goodall interview was fantastic and great to see again.
As I continue to exist on this planet, I learn more and more that there are fewer and fewer black-and-white concepts than I thought. Barely anything in life and nature exists in such absolutes, and honestly I find that incredible.
Ever since i was a kid i found it to be an absurd concept that animals are incapable of thought, emotion and sentience. I even felt that plants were capable of these things and 40 years later researchers are proving my instincts to be correct
Anyone who's tried to connect with an animal can very obviously see that they are sentient and even have personalities. Sure, my cats are pretty dumb and cannot understand language well, but they're each as valid an existence as mine.
Well, first I'd point out that there being "a study" doesn't necessarily mean anything. Even the "anti-vaxxer" movement was/is based on one. (And I do mean literally one-- and all signs point to that study being merely an angle to promote a drug the man was seeking to profit off of.)
But while we're ruminating, the [myth] I'd love to have [debunked] is the idea that lobsters "don't feel pain" (supposedly due to the way their nervous system is designed), because that has always sounded like bull dropped by people trying to rationalize what would otherwise be unspeakable cruelty (boiling them alive).
@@timothysatyr6674Plants communicate with each other-and even share nutrients-though mycelial networks. It's absolutely fascinating.
What can I say, less grey hair, the problems seem almost cute - like Ebola coverage - damn, we were so young and naive. The Russian submarine/ minx also hits different.
This was pre-Ukraine, pre-Sweden-joining-NATO, and-most saliently-pre-Hvaldimir.
@@GSBarlev pre-COVID, pre-Trump, many “pre”s. Still a wonderful segment. The feeling of watching it when it came out and now is different, quite a few sad and cynical chuckles.
So cool that Goodall was kidding along with John. 😂
there needs to be a Doug Ford follow up now he is a premier
& how Ontario is in the worst condition ever. Please :)
Ya… we’re not great. It was like Ontario went “idiot proven criminal wannabe authoritarian generational wealth wastrel as president? Well WE should at least have an idiot unproven criminal with a criminal brother general wealth wastrel as premier! It’ll be just as … successful?”
I was thinking it was fun when he was only running for mayor and lost, but now he's the effin premiere 😢
I hate him so much.
And all the back door deals and favours he did for his rich buddies. How he was reelected after he scrapped rent control and screwed our healthcare workers during covid is beyond me, I've never seen so much homelessness in my city in my life, it's very sad. He's the Trump of Ontario, if not Canada. He's gotta go! I hope LWT does do a follow up!
Jane Goodall... what a gift to the world! I remember seeing her in National Geographic when she was acknowledged for the work she was doing. Total female role model.
Toronto Update:
In 2014, Doug Ford lost to John Tory boring but practical political Conservative lawyer and talk show host. He won re-election twice in a row (2018 and 2022) before resigning suddenly in February 2023 after the Toronto Star revealed he was in an extramarital intimate affair with a city staffer in the mayor's office during 2022. In June 2023, Olivia Chow was elected mayor after a by-election, she had lost to Tory in third place in the 2014 election.
Meanwhile, in 2018 Doug Ford became the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and became Premier of Ontario with the election of a majority PC government in 2018, re-elected with another majority government in 2022, and still in office. Though he has had a fair share of scandals I shall leave you to google.
Even the way he became PC leader was shady AF.
Oh, my fuck. I am a 33 year old white New Yorker and was at The Gutter last month. I feel attacked.
It is assumed. Especially if your name happens to be Craig.
And now Doug Ford is a second term premier of Ontario and absolutely destroying our universal healthcare, environment, and more 🙃
Ya, thanks alot John! Ford is also responsible for doing away with rent control and now we have tent cities all over the province. How did he get reelected?
@@TMercan31 the whole province is going to shambles 🙃 I’m going to this Ontario health coalition protest may 30 I. Toronto against privatization so we can tell Ford just what we think
Right! It's fucking awful 😭 I don't understand how so many people voted for him once let alone twice! And how even more decided not to vote during the last election!?!?
@@TheCrayonMaster only 18% of Ontario voted in the election and he won with only 33% of the vote. So 800,000 out of 14,000,000 people of Ontario voted for this fraud. His brother Rob is rolling in his grave. His widow wife warned us about him.
The fact that he was elected twice is unconscionable, but I’m still baffled that her ever made it into office to begin with. Who looked at the man with no platform - the brother of Toronto’s infamous crack-smoking mayor - and went, “Yep, that’s our guy.” ??
He actually kept his promise. Cool
What was the promise? I think I might've missed something
@@MeepsNcheese There's no "might've" about it **snicker**
For all the americans, Doug Ford is now leading the province of Ontario.
I love those crazy interviews! This show was and continues to be an absolute treasure!
It’s wild watching this in Ontario when we’re going on 6 years as Doug Ford as Premier of Ontario😂
You’re welcome John. Toronto then voted him in and then gave you Doug Ford for Premier of the province of Ontario. Canadians must really love you.
"Sincerely, everyone who does not live in toronto" cue the rest of ontario crying cuz we're ALL infected with him now
Doug was not voted in as mayor of Toronto.
We did NOT vote him in and he's been punishing us for it from the second he became premier. Don't blame the shit show on Torontonians.
With the Scarface reference, missed opportunity to use Homer's quote... "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women."
His comedy is awesome, his humanity is earnest, any given episode of his show is a moral thermometer for our world. ROFL!!!! I f'ing love John Oliver
Awesome having Jane Goodall on the show. She's one of my personal heroes, along with Sylvia Earle. Lovely human beings, they are.
I was pregnant with my second baby in 1999. He was due to be a millennium baby and THAT was the focus of everything.
I had horrific nausea and bleeding the whole time. I wanted to do whatever I could to be as healthy as possible to retain the pregnancy...so I drank Sunny D which was disgusting but advertised on TV as being full of vitamins etc...
I was furious to find out eventually that Sunny D was just pure sugar. It didn't even need to be kept in the fridge! I couldn't tell at the time as everything tasted like metal.
I am still angry about this 😤
Sooo hard to go back and watch this again, the Doug Ford segment. Considering how very stuck with him we still are. 😞
There's always next cycle I guess.
Us Canadians took the Dough Ford one a bit too far....
Jane Goodall seems like such a lovely person.
I paused at 2:49 and went down an hour and a half rabbit hole designing a shirt that had a mink on it.. Started with a hat.. Ended with no hat, still dope... Okay, back to the show!
Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
I can't believe this popped back up and made me think of Doug Ford
6:00 Thank god for that! Imagine what would happen if there was an infectious airborne virus that turned into a global pandemic
Not to minimize Covid, but airborn ebola would have been 50x worse. Absolutely recommend reading _The Hot Zone_ if you need a new reason to lie awake at night.
Years later, we’re still stuck with Doug Ford and his circus as Ontario premier… Thanks John 🙄
LOL - I Love Jane. You Too Together were awesome!
Nominate John's hands for the superior gesture work Emmy.
Everyone’s TV watching pets would vote!
I just kicked all sugar. I've lost 40 lbs doing so. I used to stock vending machines as a kid so...
I discovered earlier this year that Kroger-brand ground Italian sausage has high fructose corn syrup added to it….
John Oliver...you are the saint we did not deserve
So, can't Americans recreate this wonderful time pre-Trump? 😢
Better sugar than high frutose corn syrup, this being used instead of sugar in most of those candies.
0:45 “Russia taking aggressive action on another country “- oh rEaLLy dO TeLl me MoRe(insert SpongeBob meme )
You know I was 14 when I first saw these episodes and I did NOT get the jokes the way I do now lmaoooooo
What a "get" Jane Goodall???? I LOVE this woman.
Please revisit Doug Ford today.... you may be surprised 😢
I stopped eating food that has added sugar a year ago and I read every ingredient table when I shop for food and it is scary how much sugar is added to food.
Sugar's in almost everything though. How do you just stop?
@@Onigirli Well they said stopped eating stuff with added sugar, nothing about natural occurring.
And now...Doug Ford is running Ontario...into the ground
Dr. Jane Goodall is such a gem! 🙌🏽❣️🙌🏽
7:30 he may have broke the rule, but he broke it in the best way possible.
This man (Doug Ford) is now Premier who sees himself as a mini Trump
I think most of us Ontarians see him as that too
there's SUGAR in Dijon mustard. i bought some cooked and sliced roast beef at Gordon foods and sugar was one of the ingredients
As a Canadian, apparently I can now blame John Oliver for Doug Ford being in charge of one of our provinces.
And we can thank Jimmy Kimmel for Rob Ford's popularity. I wish that never happened, imagine how different things would be......
@@TMercan31Rob was a good soul. He had his issues but he was an amazing mayor. He's personally helped my family a few times as councilman of North Etobicoke. Doug Ford is nothing compared to his brother. RIP
@@Gaetano.94yeah, even when smoking crack, Rob Ford was such a better person than Doug, and I'm not joking.
Honestly, I don't blame him, he went out with a bang, I'd get high af all the time too if I knew I only had weeks to live.
@@Dan-Simms the cancer diagnosis came after the crack scandal. But I would be smoking crack too if Doug was my brother.
@@Gaetano.94 to the public it did, but he knew long b4 that I'm guessing.
They add sugar to stuff to cover up the increase shelf life chemical tastes.
Yes. But if you DO buy lunch meat with no additive, eat it quickly. Living alone, I put 2/3 in the freezer.
Clamato was my go-to hangover cure back in the day.
Must have been all that sugar!
I had never heard of this show till I came up on my UA-cam feed. This is freaking hilarious. I missed humor like this. 👍
Is this where the whole Philomena Cunk phenomenon began?
So nice to finally see this episode on UA-cam. I still have the cease and desist letter from HBO's lawyers from the time I torrented it, by the way - maybe John should ask us fans to mail them all in sometime.
Omg the Cold cut after "occasionally interrupted by interviews with a not so smart person" absolutely sent me.
It's the quick little jokes and transitions like this that really elevates the show so much 😂
I had no idea this show had multiple segments.
This is like the third time he’s done an episode on sugar. He’s begging us to stop killing ourselves.
I mean, it's technically the first...
@@coalblooded well…it’s been a larger factor in episodes about other things
@@christopherparks2987 Nobody's arguing that
Thank you for talking about sugar.
It's clear how much effort goes into the content. It really shows.
Imagine in Trump met Rob Ford. Rob was the first guy i thought of when Trump was running.
Now Doug Ford is our Premier in Ontario Canada. Can you do another piece on him? He is ruining everything here. We have been laughing at this asshole for the past 7+ years. His brother Rob is rolling in his grave the way he treats his sister in law, who is Robs widow, and how he is treating us Canadians. Doug ford has no spine. Rob was the best mayor Toronto has ever had even with his issues, but he was a genuine human being. He was our councilman when I was growing up and would come to our house when we would have issues with building management and have a coffee or beer and talk with my parents. The day he died, Toronto's heart was broken. He was an amazing human.
God help us… we went a whole giant leap further. Ford is Premier of Ontario. (the province is failing- my attempted murder was stayed under his government)
I guess you are to blame for us having elected douggie as premier of the entire province of Ontario. Hope you are happy Jon!
It came back to bite him in the ass tho, he's gone grey from the 8+ yrs of dt lol
Now, we just need to vote this lying, corrupt pos out and keep PP out as well.
what do you mean don't eat mystery mucus in the street!? That's my Sunday gone!
You know your product is shit when just saying the name and nothing more draws audience laughter😂😂😂
I already read labels a lot since I am allergic to artificial dyes, and keeping sugars in mind definitely is another thing I look for.
Ty Dr. Goodall! 😂
Such a wonderful opening graphic!
So, so great of an episode.
As a sweede, all I can say is that you nailed that accent 👌👌
I’m a Canadian and my friends bought drugs directly from Doug Ford in the early to mid-80’s. I witnessed this with my own eyes.
He’s definitely not someone to mess with and Ontario is far the poorer for it. In fact, I don’t know if we’ll survive him.
Pretty sure his rise to leader was done through shady means. I know someone who bought drugs from Doug too. And yes, he's destroying the province to enrich him and his buddies.
Hell of a bonus at the end. I'm from Toronto and hadn't heard those things.
Also instead of nutritional information being per serving it should be per container.
To be fair, it usually states how many servings are in a container
@@TMercan31 That's a fair point, and I hate that mental math skills are often not that great amongst most people, but even for me (and I think of myself good at mental math), I'd argue that 1. it can make it a step harder to process the nutritional info if I have to try to visualize it in my head (to do that math for the whole container) rather than just have it written out in front of me, and 2. I do think that companies are often misleading, especially with single-serving packages, by listing a serving as some ridiculous fraction of the whole package. Like NO, I realistically cannot only eat 1/5 of this package once opened 🙄 or "NO, 1/3 of this is not going to fill me up, why call that a serving?".
I also think that, just like in Europe, India, and other places, it'd make sense to also list nutritional info per standardized amount (like 100 g), because it makes it SO much easier to compare options and decide which one is healthiest. Sure, even if I won't eat 100 g in one sitting (or eat way more), being able to compare 100 g of different yogurt brands, tubs of hummus, etc. is SUPER helpful in helping me select the healthiest option.
I'm a European. I went to the US a few years ago. The food tasted very different. Everything was way sweeter and greasier. We have much stricter rules here in Europe when it comes to what additives are allowed to be added in food. I've had friends from the US come to Europe and be shocked by how much we ate and the fact that people here were in such good shape.
It's 2024 and Doug Ford is still lying his ass off.
There was a HOA add for this John Oliver video when I clicked 😂
Jane Goodall has a great sense of humor.
I Europe the bread in Subway had to be labeled as a confection due to added sugar over 15%.
Doug Ford is now the Premier of Ontario. The largest province in the country which makes it the second largest government in the country. It’s much much worse. He ran on a platform of (I kid you not) faster highway speed limits and cheaper, more accessible beer.
Way to go John. You told Toronto to elect Doug Ford. Fast forward to today...he is in his second term running Ontario and he's fucked us all like little bitches.
I lost 20lbs in less than a month when i switched from regular pepsi to diet pepsi. 1 tsp of sugar is 4 grams of sugar.
Congrats on the lifestyle change!
Jane Goodall is an international treasure.
Nailed it at the end Oliver,lol
You can pry my sugar and high fructose corn syrup out of my cold, dead, hands. 😁
Jane G...what a sport! Glad she got the word out about pet primates.
Damn I have never been so early. Love you John Oliver!
As a child, I went to the chimpanzee's tea party at the zoo. They don't do that anymore.
It's funny, because it's literally common knowledge around the world that if you have to lie, steal, or go above and beyond to cover up something, then that means you shouldn't be doing it and you are a fraud, a liar, and corrupt. If you have to jump through hoops to cover up something, then you shouldn't be doing it!
Jon Oliver makes 8 million a year talking about problems nobody is doing anything about. God knows how much he has accumulated over the years. I wonder if the guy making over twenty thousand dollars a day could do something.
Most people are as evil as the people around them will allow
I was so involved with this I had to eat a Little Debbie Spinwheel, which is 110 percent sugar, or a pound of Peenuts.
My tongue does a double-roll ... but I've never figured out a way to monetize that. 🤔
Make it whistle ;-)
