I would love to see a 5 minute video of the HBO budget department reacting to the requests from John’s show.
Imagine the experience of being in the studio audience

Didn't Guatemala's current president use that slogan? Ni corrupto ni ladron - neither corrupt or a thief xD
I feel like that's going to be the slogan of whoever runs against that idiot Trump in 2020.
Greetings John Oliver, we are currently looking for a Prime Minister for the THIRD TIME since this video. Are you still available?
Hugs and kisses
From Italy

Why do you change PM so often? I am sorry for my lack of knowledge.
@@petrichor259 that is actually a really good question... RAGA AIUTATEMI (->"guys, help" )
@@petrichor259 Because we never know who we want or what we want; we just follow the party whose leader has been the most on TV in search of a strong leader who makes us feel safe, until we realize things are not as simple as they depicted, and that everyone has their own responsibilities as part of a social system, so we have to find another one... Repeat these steps more or less every year

Sometimes, on cool summer nights, I like to take long walks and ponder what the world might look like today if John Oliver had somehow been elected the prime minister of Italy.
We wouldn't have to worry about John Oliver lying to us.
Honestly? Coming here from 2023, with Meloni and her fascist friends at the helm, I guess we would be better off - by far
Dear John, I'm an italian 18 year old boy who's voting for his first time. How good is that?
Now, you seem to understand the awful Fasta Frimavera we're on, so please, PLEASE, save us from destruction (or Berlusconi (or both)).
P.S. I'd probabily vote for you man
...and I shouldn't be thinking this...
Whether you turn to, you just find people who, in good conscience, shouldn't even be running in politics, really. So, at the end of the day, it does looks like John is our least ridiculous candidate.
GentleHoney the Supreme is the only choice
Stefano Maniero siamo nella merda, my friend.

Man, we are basically screwed. Our chooses are:
-a guy who resembles Sid from the Ice Age (Renzi),
-a man whose party used to proclaim that northern Italy should be indipendent until they realized that people in the south can vote too (Salvini),
-a rapist whose only difference with Trump is his hair-color (Berlusconi),
-a former baby whose only attitude is insulting anyone else (Di Maio).
Ohh yes, I'm hoping to hide in a grave.
Very soon.
Man, I´m sorry for you, this must be nervewrecking AF. :( BUT as crazy as it sounds..... to be able to vote for John Oliver, thanks to a loophole, could be an opportunity for your generation to show that you have had it with this political system.

Lord Buckethead for Italian prime minister, let's make it happen
He already too busy with being the british PM.
No, the Brits still need Lord Buckethead to take over for Theresa May!
Why not do all three?
Oh goodness I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought about Lord Buckethead
Francisco Echaniz vice prime minister should be John Oliver!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I love how John sometimes bring up false images of something and let us know a moment later it's false. That makes me think I should think twice, not just straight out believe anything, when I see something on TV.
Very good point!!!
While this sounds good, the problem is people use this concept as an excuse to never believe anything. People will flat out refuse to believe basic facts under the guise of "free thinking".
Conspiracy theorists who claim things like Sandy Hook never happened also believe they're just being healthily skeptical of the news.
Skepticism does not mean immediately labeling everything on the news a lie.
This man is so EXTRA and it’s just perfect. I really think the work that John and his writers do is criminally underrated and under appreciated.
Not underappreciated. He has his Emmys..

**Suddenly remember that I am Italian.**

#JohnOliverForPresident
Isn’t it prime minister?
Jeff B no he's a US citizen. That being said because he's an immigrant he can't be president.
**cries in Italian**
Jeff B technically “Presidente del Consiglio”.
Jeff B no, in Italy we have a president because we are a Republic. We had prime ministers when we had kings
Italy stands in a crossroads. On one side, a joke. On the other, a fascist.
America solved this by combining the two.
we're efficient like that
I'd be offended if you weren't absolutely correct.
Android 19 trump isn't a Fascist
Yeah, he's only a Nazi...
Trump is economically a business Democrat. He isn't pursuing hardly any social reform. He's just anti-mass unfettered immigration, which is totally reasonable at this point. Leftists are so fucking dumb, they want a populist welfare state, open borders and multiculturalism and they can't seem to conceptualize that those things can't exist simultaneously and be sustainable. Anyone with a brain can see this, but Leftists remain cognitively dissonant. Then they label anyone that points out the flaws in this logic and argues against it a fascist and a Nazi. It's unspeakably inane and juvenile.

@@neilothee4966 Basically, no one. The Lega and M5S had an agreement and picked a "random jackass" as Prime Minister, because they had the majority of votes. Now they are "working together", the situation's pretty bad though

Who's here after Conte resigned?
(Also, I just realized that the governing coalition did, in fact, "pick a non-politician who's had nothing to do with this campaign so far", "some random jackass that Italy has never heard of". So let's hope they pick John Oliver this time!)
Yes he absolutely predicted the future in that statement
At least he can speak english ( and yes, I'am talking about YOU Di Maio!
That is completely false. Italy is a parliamentary republic, not a presidential democracy, and that's why the prime minister is not elected. It doesn't compare in power or functions to the POTUS.
Despite this fact Giuseppe Conte had plenty to do with the campaign because for the first time in our history, a party announced his government candidates before the elections, and therefore 5 star voters knew him, even though he took Di Maio's leading place.
do not worry my friend. He's back!
Dario Pedicini you are right too bad Salvini didn’t know that Italy is a parliamentary republic. He should have done his homework instead of playing dj at the beach with dancing showgirls
As an italian, what really makes me sad is that he's right: he's far from our worst option.

Ti capisco fin troppo bene.
I feel the same.
Maybe you want to enlighten him before the election?

Who's here after hearing that Berlusconi's dead?
Update on Italy: the random jackass who had nothing to do with the campaign that was picked as Prime Minister by the government coalition (composed of 5 Stars and League) was picked again as Prime Minister after Salvini tried to take down the government last August and make the electors vote again due to projection polls showing him as favorite and 5 Stars (that of the two was the majority component) decided to make a new coalition with the Democratic Party.
And yeah, before anyone asks, Berlusconi is still here, volcano and all.
Oh, so THAT'S what happened! With the rest of the world being on fire and the news being EXCLUSIVELY about Covid lately I had totally lost track of the political landscape.
Same old, same old.
Grazie mille, proteggiti come puoi, e buona giornata!
@@superpippo93x The "random jackass" choesen turned out to be better than the leaders italians could vote for, surprisingly. Or maybe unsurprisingly.
Now Conte's second government is basically over, because Matteo Renzi exited the majority coalition (wait, wasn't Renzi supposed to be gone from politics forever? He said so before losing his referendum...). The majority coalition lacks 18 senators, leaving Italy in deep crap during a pandemic:
Vaccinations campaign just started, ~209B€ from the EU Recovery Fund to invest in our future hopefully without wasting any of it.
So we don't know what's going to happen yet. Will Conte get a third chance to govern italy by finding 18 random senators? Or will John Oliver step in to save us? Who knows!
You'll find out on next episode of... ua-cam.com/video/AeIyNHyeC4g/v-deo.html
P.S.:
To be completely fair, Conte isn't 100.0% random, as he was presented as a minister by M5S in the campaign before the 2018 election, although he was not and still isn't member of any party. But it was really funny to hear John Oliver "forseeing" that our prime minister would be chosen at "random".😂
@@LRTOTAL È stato sicuramente il male peggiore, difatti il problema non è sicuramente conte ma i parlamentari e senatori votati nel 2018, potrei fare una lista di persone che dovrebbero essere a spalare la neve anzichè avere potere, che siano di destra o di sinistra o dei 5 stelle
Mamma mia che paese del cazzo
As an Italian, I accept John Oliver as my president.
I don't he is a moron
John Oliver still more sane than most of the candidates shown here
Cazzu Cazzu di Scimmia Satire hits you hard I see, which of your beloved politician did he mock to offend you? 😂
Memento Mori nope!
Agree
As an Italian, I love seeing Italy from a foreigner's perspective, it must be extremely interesting. And John Oliver is amazing.
Amazing ignorant and blatantly leftish propaganda.
I've always found Italian politics baffling. From the sheer number of parties and the positions covering a huge range of philosophies to the turnover of prime ministers, it seems chaotic. Then there was/is Berlusconi. Irish comedian Dylan Moran said that he's so crooked he sleeps on a spiral staircase and that every time he smiles an angel gets gonnorhea.
Larry Wildman I honestly don't see the problem, everyone is entitled their opinions. It might be easier for me because I mostly agree with him, but - although his political opinions are blatant, as you say - he joked also on left and "neither left nor right" parties. Plus, I don't think that despising racial/sexual discrimination should be only a "leftist" thing.
Tracymmo I know, right? When it comes to Politics, in order to maintain your sanity, you have to pretend you are an alien and watch everything from the distance as if you were observing a totally different species doing their things.
But the far-right makes itself so easy to make fun of. Sure the left fucks up too (all the time, maybe even more often than the Right because "stay on course" fucks up less often than trying something new), but find me a leftist as easy to make fun of as Trump. I'm not a fan of the Corporate States of America, so the Democrats earn plenty of ire from me. Obama didn't manage to close Guantanamo... despite the fact that he easily could have in his last year when "bi-partisan cooperation" stopped needing to be applicable for the future. Then you look at Fox & Friends or Breitbart, and the near complete lack of facts instead of opinions couched as facts. I'm a centrist, and I'm a leftist in the USA!
Honestly I hope the Republican Party's sub-groups implode and we can develop either an actual moderate party, or a center-left and center-right, by drawing off the moderates from the Democrats to join the moderate Republicans and neoconservatives. Leaving the Christian Right, Libertarians, and Traditionalists for the Republican Party, and the Socialists, Progressives, and Liberals to the Democrats. But that would probably require voting reform... which probably won't happen sadly.

Probably not the first to point this out but... not only is Di Maio only 31 years old but his one and only job before becoming a politician was being the snack guy at Napoli's soccer stadium. Soooo... you be the judge my friend.
fake news demo berlusconi's tv channels and newspapers
Yeah, I've just checked. That's not true. He was an apprentice journalist, and worked as a webmaster (maintains websites) and also the drinks seller at that stadium. Still not great, but not entirely accurate.

I wasn't aware that BreakingItaly is working for our great cause (i know the guy cause i used to watch it some years ago). I come from the super secret coup organization to seal our beloved great leader as supreme leader of our world.
Several people in the audience know Italian. They laughed before Oliver translated “Vaffanculo Day”
I mean, I can’t speak Italian but do know that “vaffanculo” is a rude insult. Some people like to look up swear words in other languages :>
Ever seen the show "friends"? Joey does that to Chandler.
Quick recap of what happened in Italy in these past 2 years:
- elections resulted in a three-party victory which made really difficult to form an actual governement
-5 star (33%) movement formed an alliance with far right party Lega(17%), putting G. Conte as prime minster
- The alliance fell one and a half year later. Pact was broken by Lega, now at 34% in polls. Basically drained 5star electoral base
- Renzi left the Democratic Party, creating a new small party, Italia Viva right after forming an alliance between DP(19%) and 5star to create a second governement, led by Conte
- pandemic came and it was a huge mess
- at the beginning of 2021, Renzi made the governement collapse for literally no apparent reasons.
- after another hard three weeks, Mario Draghi (former BCE president) was called by our president to become prime minister. He's now leading a governement that is basically held together by all parties joined
- far right wants to go to elections though. But here's the catch: parlament can't be sent home in the 6 months prior to the next President election. This period starts in August, so DP wants to hold on to avoid Legs and their alliance to elect the new president through the parliament.
Curious to see what's gonna happen, while we are still in the middle of a pandemic and far right is probably going to crush everybody else in next elections..that should be in 2023..or not?
Btw, 68 governements in 73 years, yay
Thanks for the update it was very tough to Navigate through the complicated stuff
Wow, what a clusterfuck. I hope it gets sorted soon
@@TheAlps36 it's been like that since (at least) 1861, I just hope we won't have to invade Russia without winter equipment anytime soon

I hope that your country finds its equilibrium that it so deserves.
As an Italian, I was just waiting for John Oliver to talk about us one day or another (we have had so much shit going down in recent years I wouldn't have been surprised if he talked about us more), and I was not disappointed.
Now everyone can pretty much see how bad our situation is lol
John as a Prime Minister would actually be a blessing, make it happen pls
EIGOProduction I wonder if he'll talk about the Africans that chop up people in the middle of the streets in italy. Or about the 120 db movement from germany.
The "Africans chopping people in the streets" is kinda a shocking but isolated fact. It's not the kind of topic a show like this can talk about for half an hour.
If it was a trend with many many cases it would be maybe a different situation, but as for now it can't really be compared with more pressing matters that can actually have repercussions outside of Italy (like elections)
EIGOProduction if it's not the topic to talk in a show about "why italy will have a right wing anti EU government" then the whole show is propaganda.
Saying that Italy will have an anti EU government because of a case of brutal murder by african people, like if that single fact would justify people like Salvini and the fascists rising in the streets, it's also propaganda.
It's also well known we are kinda drowing in shit with immigrants, we can't receive them all, we don't have enough resources to manage them all, and other EU countries don't help us. All of these factors maturing in years and years are much more relevant (and less hate-polarizing) to why the right wing is gaining attention than single cases of violence by specific ethnic groups of people.
Italian here. John, you have my vote, my sword and my shield.
And my bow.
he downplayed the five star movement a lot, just passingly admitting "there are A LOT of things to like about the 5 Stars movement" but focusing on negative things and on the age of the candidate.. good thing that he said a lot about corruption in italy which is actually one of the first things 5 stars have been wanting to solve since they have been founded..this way he is basically encouraging not to vote which is a clear recipe for salvini and berusconi to get to power..he could have done better this time
AND MYYYY AXE!!
Oh someone said the axe part before me -_-
And..... and... my hand
You have my everything, please come here and save us.
"Hey... HBO? Ya, we're going to need a baby lamb, and the largest model volcano we can find.... Yes... Yes, with real fire and lava.. To cover the Italian elections, obviously... Thanks HBO!"
“Irrepressible horndog” I have got to work this insult into conversation
"Trump is what happens when an irrepressible horndog who thinks money equals game gets bored and the people are stupid enough to ignore and listen to him at the same time."
How's that? You can have it for free
20:01 Host (while wearing glasses): Boo this idiot with glasses! *slaps John*
shit had me dying
We all say LOL a lot, but I was literally laughing out loud after seeing that.
20:13
That face when you want to start a mass shooting
Italian here. That was hilarious, but from a voter’s perspective it’s a tragedy. Anyway, although the volcano surely was interesting, I think it would’ve been worth noticing that while Berlusconi was our PM he managed to have the parliament pass almost 60 “laws of shame” that, amongst other terrible things, managed to avoid him being convicted for crimes he was on trial for and helped his own industries.
Biagio Distefano I agree with you, however to be fair, he was also the only one to survive an entire legislature....
Carolin A. Really?? Berlusconi was the only one who survived an entire legislature? What the Fuck is wrong with you down there? This has to be some kind of miracle.
Biagio Distefano Yes, the most dangerous thing about Silvio is the extent of his corruption
Cryasor a lot of things but we have pizza that makes us happy 😂
oh my god that statement is just so sad :/
I love seeing how the rest of the world sees my country
I feel like John and his writers just think of ridiculous shot to spend HBOs money on. I love it so much
John Oliver's resume:
- comedian fool
-queen of daytime talk
-mega reverend of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption
-prime minister of Italy
Also:
-Host of the next winter olympics.
-CEO of debt buying company.
i forgot he's a reverend😂
Praise be!
-first hegemon of the International Human Alliance
You forgot rat faced bastard
You're laughing now, John but let's see you keep that smile when you're elected president of Italy. I'm not Italian but I'd watch every public appearance you make that's broadcasted.
Khorothis, it will be great, but we can vote the party, not the prime minister
The President of Italy is another person. They're voting for Prime Minister.
breaking news: we've never been supposed to directly elect NEITHER the prime minister NOR the president.
“Is it true you called her an unfuckable lard ass?” I have no idea why but that is one of the best interview questions ever.
Who else came back here after Berlusconi's death?
It would be great if this was subtitled in Italian, so my parents and family could watch it and laugh (and cry tbh)
Riccardo Salerno write it yourself. There is an option to do in in UA-cam.
You can write the subtitles and show the video to people.
puoi mettere i sottotitoli in inglese, puoi scriverli su un foglio, tradurli con qualche cosa su internet e poi metterli sul video cosi da averli tutti.

That'd be awsome! But unfortunately people don't vote the prime minister in Italy, this election is for the Parliament.

That's exactly how it went. Both Salvini and 5Stelle won, forming a coalition and nominating a prime minister that didn't run for election and we never heard of ever before. Ciao from Italy ❤

I LIVE for those.
I did, and every time I watch it (as I've repeated it about 20 times already), it gets funnier and funnier.
I was hoping for a "figo" or something like that, he often translates when he talks about foreign countries

I'm Italian and when I'm sad I watch 3/4 times in a row this magical episode.
As an Italian it's strange to see domestic politics made fun of by John Oliver. It puts everything in perspective with the rest of the world. And I didn't know Berlusconi had a volcano in his house!!!
JOHN OLIVER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
PS
Also, just on a sidenote, would this go on air in Italy, Bob Murray (from the Coal episode) would be the very least of his problems. He would have to lawyer up very badly! SAD...
Matteo Riva I knew because it was another part of his villa that went under the law he did about irregular constructions (povera Sardegna )
Aspettavo con ansia il momento in cui John Oliver avrebbe fatto un pezzo sull'Italia... Mi sento orgogliosa e allo stesso tempo schifata
Matteo Riva im not american or italian, but john oliver has done some shows on my countrys crappy government and oh wow yeah it does feel weird
But he has a particular fondness for lying by omission when it comes to Trump.
A villa Certosa.
I'm Italian, and everything he said was actually accurate. I'm going to vote for the political elections for the first time this Sunday (I'm 19), and I'm really afraid that the coalition led by Berlusconi will win. The problem is that the left parties are too detached from the problems of the people, so many people are "forced" to turn to the right because it seems the only party that cares about them (not true - right parties would be a disaster for our country, and there are actually some good left parties that care about real problems, they're just too small to have a chance). Whatever the results will be, I hope that in the future we will do better. We Italians just have to stay strong and don't loose hope.
Peace ✌️
Vote for john
Make Italy great again
The peoples champ
We had this disease already, in 1922, Ivan. Try with something better.
Obviusly you guys have work to do. I mean, left leaning people who do not feel represented. It comes down to our generation, and to keep waiting for someone else to do it is not an option. We would argue about methods, but the time has come to get involved. It's the same work we have to do in Spain.
Non sei costretto a votare l'alleanza di destra, se non rispecchia le tue idee. Esiste l'astensione. Inoltre, questo programma è molto grottesco, ma non così accurato: calca molto sulle figure di merda e le immagini dei politici, nonché sulle notizie sui nostri problemi politici, ma finisce lì. Molto divertente e tutto, ma non rispecchia le modalità di voto, come si costruisce il nostro Parlamento (che andremo a votare) e non è neanche affidabile riguardo la posizione di Berlusconi (che, si spera saprai, è incandidabile!)
Vote for John
I'm 100%italian and this is the most hilarious and clear explanation of italian politicians.👏🏻
Can't stop watching after years and years. 😂
Wonder what a 90% looks like

Hey John, looks like the place for prime minister is up for grabs again.
As an Italian, everyday it's so difficult watching the news on Tv. You constantly feel angry, betrayed and tired of listening to the damn mess that is our political system.
Yuuya Shirazu come to Germany and Watch our TV, here they censor and blur the refugee crime and government scandals so you think except for your diesel car its all fine.
Già ..
Yuuya Shirazu you can always come to America and laugh at our bumbling idiots in office. It's both hilarious and terrifying to see such morons with so much power and money.
Same in america :)
I'm in America and I'm going to be voting age this year..... Try being a teen and not knowing what to believe because so much information is tampered with or fraudulent. I'm a minority too so I legit can't stand our political system its so bad it affects the education you recieve in certain areas and its just ridiculous and terrifying.
"Better to like girls than to be gay"... Wow. I never heard that one. Berlusconi never stop to amaze me.
Lol he said even worst things than this unfortunately
So, you do not agree?
You just have to look at the expression on his face to know that he's a slimy piece of shit.
I think any gay would say the same at the opposite and none would be so disapponted
What is so wrong with this statement? Are you depriving him of his personal right to determine what he likes or not?
I am a 2nd generation of a lovely family that emigrated from Venice in 1920 to Queens NYC. The arguments in Italian every Sunday were about politics only. We all knew the meaning of debate--no hard feelings no matter what.
What can not be forgotten is that that country dragged the rest of Europe out of the Dark Ages. The Renaissance! Thank God for that.
But don't forget the Greeks though. Greek-Roman Culture envoke the Renaissance
Yeah if you massively oversimplify it, Dark Ages didn't exist for one. But hey the Venetians bought all the products of the islamic golden age, including anything the greeks did that was otherwise lost to history so definitely partial credit. Also just to say, when you argue with fascists their should be hard feelings. Their entire worldview isn't founded in structured belief, they structure it after following whatever shit sounds good above their animus. When someone sits down to debate a fascist it has already normalized them and threatened the memetic integrity of democracy.
It is actually impossible not to love this man
I'm italian and I'll vote for you John! (But only because your volcano is bigger than Berlusconi's)
how do you know if it's bigger, if there are no photos of it? **mystery music**
The important thing is how you use it
he was the one impersonating obama at his home lel
Flow is much more important than size tho. Thankfully, John's volcano has magma bursting from the tip!
you're volcano *
it's trending #1 in italy ahahaha
Yeah lol
John Oliver running a country .... Yea no that would probably be just about as bad as the other choices they've got.
No joke, i'm in Rome and this is brilliant
is trending in the whole Europe don't you get it!
Marcus Yrvild snowflake alert
"Oh, it's true! He's back! Silvio Berlusconi - sorry, that's HPV. Silvio Berlusconi - sorry, that's just a condom filled with marinara sauce"
We needed a 2022 Italian election version...❤️😢
“He is truly the Forrest Gump of human misery.”
Tip of the hat to whoever wrote this. 😂
I would bet that was the bored assistant of a camera man on the Game of Thrones set waiting for the rain to stop.
It's funny because it's true!
the more I think about it, the funnier it gets lol
"I wouldn't want a 31 yearold to run a European country" - laughs hysterically in Austrian.
Julinks He doesn't research very well
I mean he technically said that a 31 year old is in his opinion too young to run a major European country, which Austria just really is not. Side note: our chancellor is actually a fucking joke, so he might just be right.
It doesn't look like anything to me.
I mean Austria is just a small country and Sebastian Short... i mean Kurz IS a joke and a bad one, with ears like fucking Dumbo the elefant, at that so... yeah I guess.^^
Julinks i don’t know much about austrian politics. How is Kurz bad? I know he is anti-immigrant but I remember reading about him a few years ago when he was the foreign minister and the article appreciated him a lot. So I’m just confused.
Hello to everyone coming back to rewatch this after Berlusconi’s death 👋🏻🇮🇹
Y'all I've been binge-watching this show for almost a week and I still forget that he's going to say "except it's not, that's what comes us when you search for Italian man stock image" and "because that's not Uraguay, *this* is Uraguay." God I am slow and that bit will never get old.
Berlusconi is so corrupt everytime he smiles an angel gets gonorrhea...
Last Week Tonight, please appreciate this comment!
Bea Kiddo I love you
Dylan Moran.
To clarify what Lasperic is saying, the joke was originally made by Irish comedian Dylan Moran, who is terrific. You should check out his stuff.
this comment wins!
Thanks John for letting the world know of our difficult here situation in Italy, I love this show!
ok ma ha seriamente esagerato e tu che sei italiano come me dovresti renderti conto che ci ha descritti come dei fascisti corrotti
Perché è vero
@frexers, e ha ragione. Non tutti, certo, ma ci sono corrotti (Berlusconi), e ci sono fascisti (Salvini e non solo). Ha specificatamente parlato di alcuni politici, non di tutto il popolo italiano
You voting for him? :)
Frexers infatti
Anyone here after the literal fascists won in Italy this year and came to see if John Oliver already predicted that?
Nope.. Theres just you with that flawed mentality. Your frail mind wouldn't know fascism if it had a face and spat in your eyes. Go cry about it in twitter while they fix their country.
John's face in the Thumbnail is just _insert Italian Gesture here_ perfect
I'm italian and, even if our political situation is so humiliating, nonetheless all you said is true and I can't stop laughing about your jokes!!!
btw, John, you have my vote! please, save us all!!! If you win I will offer you as reward endless lasagnas
In America we have a walking meme with the intelligence of a toddler as president. Your political situation is amazing by that comparison.
Yum!!!!!
he downplayed the five star movement a lot, just passingly admitting "there are A LOT of things to like about the 5 Stars movement" but focusing on negative things and on the age of the candidate.. good thing that he said a lot about corruption in italy which is actually one of the first things 5 stars have been wanting to tackle since they have been founded..this way he is basically encouraging not to vote which is a clear recipe for salvini and berusconi to get to power..he could have done better this time
Michele08080808 every now and then each politician claims about an anti-corruption act, but the only party who actually did something was PD. That’s not enough yet, but is something for sure as a starting point. M5S voted against PD also when they proposed laws similar to M5S ones, just because were proposed by PD.
yes except that they just based much of their existence about this point as you surely know..PD did something? do you know anything about mafia capitale? pd was there after alemanno left.. do you know anything about conflitto d'interesse? do you know anything about de luca, a renzi sponsored regional strongman, and the scandal that is being covered up in campania? why did they not cancel the falso in bilancio laws from berlusconi? how can we say that a party like PD who has been governing for years and left things as they were did something against corruption when they did maybe the slightest minimum just after the m5s came into existence..if you want to be blind and leave your vote to crooks just do it
ALSO: Berlusconi called Finnish food garbage, so when we beat Italy in an international pizza competition, we named our winning pizza "Berlusconi" just to spite him! :D
Rhazagal It comes with a side-sauce of herpes, I assume?
Can you tell me this pizza recipe? =D
YOU-ARE-GREAT-GUYS. I'd eat it
didn't everybody beat Italy in an international pizza competition? For a nation that invented pizza, Italians sure make shitty pizza. I had the worst pizza of my life in Napoli, followed closely by the second worst in Taormina, Sicily.
Huh! That's a pretty fun fact! Good to know!
"He can be a random jackass that italy has never heard of..." Incredibly, the best prevision of our last elections' outcome.
Worse thing is that the statement "I'm far from your worst option" was actually true
I lost it when he slapped him in the face for losing the game show. "Fasta frimavera?"
Paul TheSkeptic "Stupido!" *POW*😂
lost it in the office at the Merkel silence ... jeezuz this world needs a saviour.
Looks like the lost beatle on the game show
Too funny. I couldn’t stop laughing
Che belli i troll
Who else was waiting for John Oliver to bring out his own volcano as soon as it was brought up that an image for the Italian one couldn't be found :-)
MythicTyrant when he was talking about air bud I thought he was bringing Lord Buckethead to the mix. It was still funny, but not as funny.
You obviously know this show very well.
MythicTyrant where is John.....
?
MythicTyrant Yeah, I kind of saw that one coming... but the little lamb caught me off guard LOL. Awesome show, eh?
Boia che ricordi signori
"The Forrest Gump of human misery"....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
