10 years late and we're still waiting for Tomadachi Life 2 with queer relationships in it. I hope it happens mostly so I can marry Wally Darling at least in a game.
You'd be very surprised at what Nintendo deems OK and not OK, like there are entire sites dedicated solely to Pokemon and Mario romhacking and they've more or less left those alone. Not saying id put it past them though.
@@draxthemsklonstThe only reason they haven't been taken down is because they haven't reached Nintendo's awareness yet. They've taken down some of those websites only because they got too famous due to hosting a rom hack so popular it reached mainstream media as 'better than the official games'

NO. They gave you the season and episode number, which is all you need. It is painfully easy to Google that info, because it is obviously on Wikipedia, which will have the release date of every episode and more. This is not hard to understand, and in 2024, you should definitely be technologically literate enough to know how to google search a season#+episode#
I'm happy all the S1 episodes have been uploaded but especially about this one, since as far as I can tell, this is the only (or one of the only) episodes where the entirety of the main segment was never uploaded to youtube before now. They've had their fake GM commercial up since 2014, but not the context proceeding it, so I've spent the last several years wondering what the context was lol. It's nice to finally get the full picture behind those jokes
@@akamba12I believe season 1 isnt readily available everywhere or on max. This is a way or marketing and getting people interested. They are also very old episodes.
And Nintendo was so scared of controversy (the political type everything else is fine) they haven't made another Tomadachi Life since. And mind you it sold 7 million copies, not exactly a financial thing
@@DRH1302 Tbh what Nintendo deems OK and not OK is almost totally random, like there are entire sites dedicated to Pokemon and Mario romhacks and they've mostly left them alone.

Two thoughts on the GM banned words. 1. I can't believe he didn't read "genocide". 2. Some of those are very much engineering words, not "judggmental". Like critical and SAFETY... Bonus thought: why are some words capitalized?
The "now this" holds up like fine milk. Calling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome day as a bullshit national day is tacky as hell. Shows how important the day is that they didn't even bother to check out the illness that 1% of the population suffers from and still to this day most people don't know anything about. Not to mention has no cure nor even working medicine to alleviate the symptoms with.
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!
So cool these are being uploaded! The full episodes have always been posted to UA-cam by third parties but immediately taken down, I'm grateful they're here
Ironically posted the same week where they released the port/remake of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door where the updated localization restored Vivian’s transness
remember how we all acted like the Spanish guy with the debts from 1998 was an idiot for calling attention to himself, and then after a week we had all completely forgotten that it ever even happened?
Full respect to the team behind this show for releasing all their old episodes. Screw Max for hiding all the older ones.

From what I read years ago, it is (was?) a licensing issue with the cable companies. Contractually, they *couldn't* provide the full catalog.
@TNTkeynine IMO, we should be giving credit and thanks to HBO/Max for _allowing_ them to upload the old episodes on UA-cam for free.

Thank you for dating all these episodes!
you are the goat
I can’t believe this was only 10 years ago. Poor JO has aged so much 😂
Man the 10 years have been rough
I was less than ten when this aired. Jesus
Watching fareed zakaria call the modi regime exciting and describing it in economic terms instead of the raging hindu nationalism it bore was painful
That was genuinely hard to watch
The BJP had held power before under Vajpayee, but didn't go as all-out into Hindu nationalism. It wasn't unreasonable to think that Modi might have done something similar after taking office... even if that didn't happen.
I was shocked, and I will never see mr. Zakaria same again. Sad.

Happy 20 years since the beginning of legal gay marriage in the US 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
There are adults alive today who never lived in a United States where gay marriage was fully illegal
10 years you mean?
oh wait never mind
I love that they knew how the audience would react to that Donkey Kong funeral and had the respawn clip ready
Man, that commentary on Mohdi did NOT age well.
I opened comments to write exactly the same thing!!
Goes to show how hindsight makes things so, so different to how they once might have appeared.
@@petecrokersame lmfao
Ive only heard about mohdi because of later episode of this show and i was sure it was not GOOD

Yeah, Nintendo promised to do better…. and then hasn't made another first-party game with marriage it since. -_-
@@PretendingToBeAHumanImagine they're like "Yeah totally! We'll make a game where u can be gay. *guys scrap it SCRAP IT*"

I think the up-up-down-down-be-gay-be-gay-start joke is what made me love this show, and beg my dad to keep our HBO subscription even after GoT ended.
"Why walk through the valley the shadow of death when you can drive" is amazingly funny
“It’s not TV. It’s appallingly negative.” Is the truest tag line for the show

I love that his “worst picture” is honestly just as endearing as the first picture from his childhood. 😂❤
The fact they had that bowser and dk set ready, props to the person who made it and the person that thought of it
Fareed Zakaria's statement about Murika is absolutely spot on.
And Nintendo was so scared of controversy (the political type everything else is fine) they haven't made another Tomadachi Life since.

I totally forgot he did guests early on in the show's format lol
Watching all of these older videos is insane to me. We only had gay marriage in 17 states in 2014? Progress seems to move so absurdly slow.
It was made legal in all 50 states a year later in 2015 by a Supreme Court decision.

The GM story - this is why as a Detroiter I refer to the time I went for psych intake to the hospital where I was born as my "recall."
Okay but that "embarrassing" picture of John is adorkable.
Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
The GM segment is really funny, all the car crash metaphors John keeps coming up with lol
The whole first season awesome
Franchising the American Dream is literally the American Dream.

Wait what do you mean people were making jokes about Blockbuster a decade ago?
It's been so long, I forgot there's even actual guest segments
It would be great if you could mention the original broadcast-date in the description of these re-released videos.
The “up up, down down, be gay, be gay, start” joke is possibly my favorite LWT joke ever
Realizing Tomodachi Life is a decade old made my back hurt.
Solid Morrisey impression, Mr Oliver.
Ah, so this is how Pearl and Marina happened
well, he put his Mutually Assured Humiliation on the internet forever, again
Thank you for posting all these episodes. This is one of my favorite shows of all time because of how funny and depressing it is!
Really enjoying the interview segments, wish that was an element of the show they kept.

Loved this one
That Nintendo animation still baffles me haha, that shit belongs in 2007 UA-cam, not on 2014 television
I like it though
No wonder John’s hair was still black: he didn’t have any children back then
The Nintendo animations were hilarious
Please post the full interviews as well
Yeah where is that? Why is that not just attached to this 'full' episode? (I'm really not complaining, I'm plenty happy about getting this much)
How did I forget about the gm recall 😊
That peach zelda scene was wild 😂
They should do more updates on past stories, especially since they're over 10 years old now.
Lost it at the Zelda treasure chest opening not noise
Happy Beltane, everybody.
How come he’s just uploading old episodes? This is nice haha thank u 😘
He did mention New Business Daddy being so mad at them, so maybe that has something to do with this lol
Indian Election Coverage sponsored by Adderall. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how Fareed used the Clintons as an example of an American political dynasty, when the Roosevelts were right there
Great Morrissey impression
My nickname from high school was toad, that relationship with yoshi is the best ive ever had
Ironically posted the same week where they released the port/remake of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door where the updated localization restored Vivian’s transness
Crazy Modi has been in charge of India for half my life lmao
Since it's "Last Week/Year/Decade" and not the same "Tonight" it'd be great if these eps could get an air date in the info.
How did I not know that there was more than the main story on this show? lol
ten years later, nintendo has never even talked about making a tomodachi life 2.
Oh hey my dad had an ion back then, what a throwback i remember this
Only $35 Million dollars? That's just the price of doing business 🙄
I love John Oliver
That interview about Modi didn’t age well
Came here to say exactly this. The only thing that’s aged well about the Modi news is Fareed’s horrifying analogies 💀
Yeah, I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, but if only they knew.
The GM recall situation is almost hilarious in the context of what's going on with Tesla right now.
6:02 …. Yup
❤❤❤
"We don't want subsidies" Said no business owner/board/CEO ever.
The shame segment 😭😂
OMG! I thought this episode was lost! didn't GM try to sue them? also, did nintendo ever go after them!?
They had GUESTS?!
Sure enough. Top search result for "Brian Sullivan naked bicycle squirrel."
The least we can do is call it "National Personal Floatation Device Day". Instead of life jacket day.
26:40
“If Chelsea Clinton’s fetus had a baby…”
“Oh my god! Does it have to be that?!”
Holy crap that was funny
“Happy chronic fatigue syndrome day” as if any of us with this disease can get up and celebrate
remember how we all acted like the Spanish guy with the debts from 1998 was an idiot for calling attention to himself, and then after a week we had all completely forgotten that it ever even happened?
GM should have been shut down. If only we live in a good world.
Ride your bike to work day followed shortly thereafter by chronic fatigue day is something…
"is this more exciting or horrifying" well. as it turns out.
