This hits different 8 years later
I didn't realize it until the sloth triggered the memory.😮
What an awful difference 8 years can make.
holy crap does it ever
Potentially... 🤔
Same shit different year
I definitely was feeling the same way watching it today 😢
Welcome to this week's episdoe "I told you so" with Jon Oliver
So feeling true
I told you so is exactly what I was thinking. Then and now!
lol. The Sequel to George Carlin's series of comedy specials.
Can we resurrect the Pope's comment on Trump
#notmyChristian
You know you're stoned when it takes 3 minutes and 41 seconds before you notice this is from S3. 😅
6:52 for me
I’m blasted as we speak, my brother 🤓☝️
I've been drinking for hours but found episode 2. I clearly have catching up to do 😂
@@Runge_was_here I was 2 shots deep around when I commented. I just didn't consider it cause I was also hella stoned. 😂
what does it mean when you're not stoned and that's when you noticed? Cause that's when I noticed and I'm not stoned
We've come so far since 2016, imagine how much worse it'll be in another 8 years!
That's the Last Week Tonight spirit!
@@GreyKnight7777 I'm really looking forward to the new types of microplastics, carcinogens, and neurotoxins that will be developed and put into infant formula and drinking water now that we have no regulations. It's a bright future for the Union Carbide fandom!
@@coolbugfacts1234 wwiii will be fight over water not oil, that's a fact we've to live soon.
@@coolbugfacts1234We’re working on making it better.
thank you democrats for being outstanding losers
My head is spinning after watching this ... July 2024, and just look where we are NOW with abortion, Trump, and the Supreme Court.
For those who want an update, the good news is that the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in favor of Whole Women's Health saying H.B. 2 put restrictions on abortion that created an undue burden. The bad news is everything else since 2016.
😭😭😭
Aus Rotten!
Thanks for the update my friend
That Adam Driver bit would hit a lot different if this was four years later. I can almost imagine John saying “Enforce the constitution, you judicial stallion. Overturn decades of precedent, you pinnacle of justice.”
lmao. i didnt really watch this show till the pandemic, and i binged like all of em in 2020.
John Oliver and George Carlin are the only 2 celebrities i truly have no criticisms and high praise of and Im against celebrity worship in all forms. But when youre right, youre right. And these two have always been right
I hate that it's only gotten worse since this episode
Is it just me, or does anyone else use John Oliver’s hair color in the thumbnail as a time-traveling device to figure out if the episode is new or ancient history?
It's the only way to know for sure, it's not like there's a different background. 😂
The same is true of Stephen Colbert.
Wow, seems he was right about most of this
him and george carlin are the only 2 social commentators that I cant find any flaws in any of their logic. Even Jon Stewart sometimes Im not really on board with his take.
The media really got exposed in the last week as not knowing a god damn thing about what theyre talking about, and that theyre more interested in being news meteorologists (forecasting the future) instead of reporting the present and putting it in context with the past and humbly commenting on what it could possibly mean for the future.
Ironically , thats what John Olivers comedy show and George Carlins stand up did.
Good timing for this upload 🙂
( I remember being outraged when they wouldn’t let President Obama appoint a justice. I think people didn’t fight hard enough then because the Democratic Party just said “well ok, we’ll just place the effort into winning in 2016”
The Supreme Court has long been a target to destabilize our democracy because it doesn’t actually have enough checks on its power in place.
I hope the irony is not lost on all the legal scholars out there , that the legal system itself is the instrument which can bring an end to the rule of law, when the legal system itself has become corrupted.
I studied International & EU law, it will forever stick with me how one of our lecturors - a former Dutch minister of justice no less - asked if we felt we, in the Netherlands, lived in a stable country and a free and fair society. Most of us of course felt yes, we do. Only to stress, to emphasize that no, we really don't and no country ever truly is. That there is no such things as guaranteed laws or inalienable rights. That such rights and laws are to be defended at all times and are under attack at all times, in ways both subtle and gross.
@@sevenprovinces "Rights aren't "rights" if someone can take them away - they're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country: a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news, even badly, you know that the list gets shorter and shorter."
-George Carlin
@@ryanmiller9865 hey ive just been making comments that the only two people I will always trust are JO and Carlin.
👊👊
@@ryanmiller9865 George really was a prophet. My person favorite:
“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.”
This episode is so much sadder in the current day
oh good lord I thought this was this week's episode in June 2024 until there was a Jeb Bush sighting
Jesus the backlash about Rue in The Hunger Games being black was so braindead.
She is almost certainly meant to be black in the book. Lol
I know, right? I read all those books and loved them.
districts 11 and 12 were both heavily implied to be majority non-white in the books, and katniss was strongly implied to be mixed, so that backlash just kinda showed that the people complaining weren't paying all that much attention, if any lol
@@TheRealEvilkitten3 yeah, just like johns team complaining Tom cruise playin american in 99% japanese casted movie is white. Story about american growing from his ignorance and nihilism into apprecieating other culture to the point of willing to die for it.
Hurrrr he is white Durr why this american actor playing american character is white
Nothing 'almost' about it.
Page 55 of the book: "And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that, she's very like Prim in size and demeanor."
And later on page 152: "The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue"
@@Kartissa Yeah, I just know some people were picturing her as like Indian or Arabic. Obviously just people trying to excuse their nonsense, but thats why I said almost certainly.
These old episodes just make me sad and angry that we are just worse off now
4:55 adam driver reference! A prequel to johns lust in 2020
Time is cyclical!!!! 😢
Infallible force meets illogical force. I need to remember that one lol.
*Illogical object
John Oliver's writers were so fuxking funny in the first few seasons.
Seriously, the "he didn't look 13?? LISTEN TO YOURSELVES!" Line made me audibly laugh for the first time all day lol this show has some serious rewatchability. Pause for the humor and for all of the facts/things you learn
the reason he made the jon stewart comment is he, john oliver, was the lead writer for the daily show when stewart was there full time, i think. so it's not just his writers but he who is smart and funny.
@@nickromo8195 Agreed. This show is still great but going back to these first few seasons, the jokes were on another level entirely.
The world wasn't completely cratering back then...
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2 we had no idea. #Project2025 ☠💀🔥
Pro-lifers really are something. I went to a Catholic High School. We were Catholic even though we were Liberal (after high school, we no longer were Catholic. They drove us away from religion because of how terrible they were as people). Anyways, my Junior year religion class was Catechism Study. Near the end, the students were to give presentations on the church's teaching for various subjects. One of which was of course abortion. The presentation had to be long enough to fill 2 classes. The Church's teaching on abortion hardly requires 10 minutes filling around 100 minutes was a very long stretch so to fill the rest of the time, the presentation were detailed descriptions of the various methods of abortion that can be done. I went home crying that day. My mom was pissed and totally went off on the principal and teacher so the next day I was allowed to leave and not sit through the rest of the presentation. Still firmly pro-choice today. All that experience did was make me disgusted by the methods pro-lifers use to try to get their way.
Believe what you want but don't force anybody else to follow your beliefs. And that organized religions are mostly made of up hypocrites that don't practice what they preach. Don't hate, don't cheat, don't bend the rules just to get your way. If you can't play fair then maybe you shouldn't be playing at all.
OK, I don’t know why I noticed this or even felt the need to pointed out but I’m just gonna say you spelled Catholicism wrong. You were right man when you had it right all you needed to do was add ism… that was it.
You know, I’ve really enjoyed watching all these archived episodes. But I think I might need to stop. 2016 was an awful year and I don’t want to relive it.
And knowing that 2025 could be exponentially worse.
6:50 I almost forgot what year this was when he said “these aren’t real people” and I immediately thought it might be AI
I immediately thought the same thing lol
Ditto - you're in good company!
SEASON 3!!!!!!
One of THE most comical episodes !!!!! Love you John and all other talented writers of this treat of a show !!!!! 😅❤
Thank you business daddy for uploading these 👍
23:11 the woman’s “oh my god” is all of us
I respect that they are out of order. Make us work for it. 😎
A heartfelt thank you to John and his team for these whole episodes! From a Brit who can’t get HBO
On a higher note, this may be the first or second mention of Adam Driver 😅
Watching this in 2024 made me.furious
Ive been watching you since comedycentral and the mop top. This is the only show still running I activity come to watch. When i see there is no salt n' peppa i know its an oldy but a goody.
I just like watching jon oliver age
Second episode with no mention of syria 😢 by this time it was fading into obscurity especially since the European migrant crisis slowed a bit
This episode is from 2016
@@ryanmiller9865 I'm aware
I love that I can see the start of the segment from the source. Thanks!
Next on Last Week Tonight-Capybaras in a Japanese onsen!
That sloth healed me.
28:48 FOR SLOTH!
YOU'RE WELCOME, JOHN.
Please clap was an epic fail
Give this man and his writing staff, all the awards. 🎉❤
23:10 The lady in the audience saying, "oh my god," I felt that. I can only imagine how she must feel now.
The medical field needs more regulations, yes. Just not these ones. Leave abortion clinics alone, go after the pharmaceutical manufacturers, PLEASE!
And i don't think people realize that when you have a miscarriage, it technically counts as your body aborting the baby. Please do your research
And that's why women sit in the parking lots bleeding out. Dr's are going to get sued for helping you abort your baby.
It happens naturally so often, and women will be fotced to show their work, so to say. They are screwed if we are put under those good ole conservative values.
Some lawmakers realise that. There have been cases where women were criminally charged for having a miscarriage
Oliver looked like a British racing car tonight…love it? Love it!
This was like a decade ago
This is depressing.
1:05 my OCD as would never get the date wrong on a news article 😭
it's amazing how bad things are now compared to then.
what a depressing week for this season in particular to get released, yikes.
John didn't even know at that time how bad will be the situation for women needing an abortion nowadays.
Dang, I'm early for one of these old episode releases.
Tom Cruise wasn't the titular Last Samurai, Ken Watanabe was.
Enjoyed the political content very much, but I was really only here for the sloth.
Wonder what color the voice actor was for Kratos in the new ones... Oh yeah! Christopher Judge. How can a black guy be the voice of a white greek god? Nevermind, he could be the voice of Mario and it would be fucking amazing.
"But I don't like minorities taking white people's roles because it somehow affects me personally. Also, I don't like them shoving their agenda down my throat with a movie that I was never going to watch anyway. I'm just mad that kids movies don't cater exclusively to my race anymore, representing diversity in movies is somehow bad for some reason. Fox News told me I should be mad. It's a slippery slope..."

S3 E2 of asking LWTWJO to post these in opposite order so I can binge these properly. Also cause I lost count posting this in every episode halfway through season 1…..
I check the channel and select the next video. Usually the next one in number is one of the suggested options.
Since we didn't get a new episode this week we get an old episode. I'll take it!
Watching this today is tough, haha
and everything has been fine ever since!
Sadly...very sadly...it is so much worse now for women than it was in 2016.
It turns out how my similarly educated perrs treated me matters and that reflects on their affiliates and affiliations
22:10 the woman audibly saying “oh my god”
Today's anonymous letter:

"We have experienced too much condensation and not enough compensation."
-Kampers Speak Out
Fantastic
He looks so damn young!
I thought this was from yesterday until he brought up Antonin Scalia's death
Love him
Important to history which others seem to want to erase as part of correction cult I've been in for a decade
#BansOffMyBody
Correct John, all this has made me sad and angry. And yet, it's only a drop in the bucket compared to what will come next...
Looks like we’re gonna need a re-cover of these three specific topics lol
So sick of seeing Lume ads!
I forgot about Trump feuding with the Pope. Seems quite minute now compared to the rest he did 😂
Let’s GO!
i love john oliver but why did you send so many old videos to my feed?
4:53 wait... John mentioned Adam Driver without sexually harassing him?!
This was the first mention of Adam Driver, I believe.
@@Kartissa this event shall be mentioned in the good book
Was anyone else hoping he’d start the Adam Driver thirst-fest this early? 😂
Ep on RFK Jr PLEASEEEE
These episodes are from Season 3! I.e., they're rather OLD.
I love you, sloth in a night cap.
they'll do and say anything to enforce christianity
FUNTIME!🎉
I saw this, thought it was new. Then saw John's dark hair and was like "oh jk this was wayyyy pre-trump presidency and pre-pandemic John Oliver"
What do you mean this was 8 years ago
Does anyone know about the 14 yr old like a gofundme or something i watched that happened growing up in txs and all but mostly because of family pressure yk the "your preggo get married" and it pains me much more to know how big of scale this is happening now because of "legal issues".
This didn't age well
Thank you John, republicans need a taste of their own medicine. Love the shirt.
You know this was 8 years ago right,?
@@jamesestelle7260 SO?
But... i have a pet mouse.
Politicians make the worst doctors.
Jon, be honest weren't you once in a band called Devo?
I think you're funny and a bit gifted.

John Oliver, Jon Stewart.
If I corrected everything I see I wouldn't have time to make nice thoughtful posts.
But thank you for doing your part to make our world better and correctly labelled.

Why is this 8 year old episode being aired now???
It was announced some months ago that HBO would broadcast on UA-cam all previous Last Week Tonight episodes.
I am watching this waiting for a trolley across the street from Kermit Gosnell's nightmare house. Always get the creeps every time I'm on this block. Eff that monster. Literally no one is arguing that what he did should be allowed because infanticide is still very much horrible and illegal.
Hey, Jon, could maybe please help us?
the sloths makes me feel slightly better..
genius
I wonder if we’ll get John Oliver in Fortnite someday?
I’ve thought that of Trump
Since beginning.
How about the theory that Barbara Bush is aleister Crowley's daughter and looked just like him and was born around the same time Crowley had a daughter? Or am I just crazy?
Honestly, John, I hate to say it...but I feel like Rick Astley let us down by not being born in America and therefore being ineligible to be president.
But don't let him know, John. I don't want to let him down.
It's crazy that they didn't appoint a Justice then. Good thing nothing bad came from that. Eh, John. Ehhhhhh.
Ayo what they really just dropped everything all of a sudden
Last Week Tonight is dropping their entire library on UA-cam. That’s why.
Each week when they don't have a new episode, they are uploading entire seasons
That inclusive pope has been calling people the F slur, John 😭
wait a minute...
Here it is.
The beginning of the End
The journey into the abyss.
Roe is gone now, and The Orange menace looms on the horizon. Again.
Cries in Post-Roe USA
22:43 yeah, like a medical Two-Face
