Cereal: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (Web Exclusive) 

what, no ghost shaped marshmallows?

Nice work Nancy - you’ve earned this... A+

You are my spirit animal

And there’s your goth cereal! I think it’s better than John imagined.

I am guessing your creation was the most creative in the class.

i like your funny words english magic man

I like your comics.

Thank you for the recap. Accurate and helpful 👍🏻

Funny comment dryly states the obvious to generate algorithmic buzz which is helpful

Hello again

Ha, he can't hurt me, I still don't have any friends I'm so fucking lonely

i had friends until college lol

According to my experience, that’s a good and better one to have as a life. 🤷

Yeah, I caught that too... it's a pity.

Sadly I think this was secretly sponsored by Kellogg. Because there was some much wrong with cereal that he avoided.

It's racist and supported Donald Trump

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame~!

Yep, totally NOT where I was expecting him to go with it

Back when studios were still used

It's not so much a studio as it is a strange milky void where an odd bird like creature took 5 minutes to rant about cereal that most confusingly of all wasn't a commercial for Froot Loops

lmaooo

Well this studio is in his house...

The really cereal stuff.

I expected a video about added sugar in cereal, or something

Just crack for kids? Only kids?

That's the best episode of Gumball.

@@laurahall5218 Right? I don't know if you've got this in the States, but the other day I discovered my little nieces eating *TIM HORTON'S* cereal! (For anyone who doesn't know, Tim's is Canada's biggest chain of coffee and donut shops, and practically a symbol of our country.) I had to sit down and have some with them - it really did taste like donuts for breakfast. I'm still not sure if this is a good or bad thing...

@@neuralmute hi, german here - I can only add that I most of the real cereals that John mentioned can't be found in German stores and if they were there (makes sense, coz not every brand is everywhere) but from what I know about food laws and stuff, they'd have to be sold/labeled as candy with the amount of added sugars in them...

love this idea!

It's nighttime and I'm eating cereal as I watch this. Guess I'm ahead of my time.

All his cereal ideas were brilliant. The mystery one and the Lego one are actually great ideas

@@brandonayong5823 Lego? No more building houses with waffles, you'll starting building houses with cereal.

The night time cereal reminded me of pillows. Regarding the Lego cereal: Terrible idea! Parents know keeping Legos out of kids’ mouths is already hard enough; we don’t need food muddying the waters!

"HOW in the blood-soaked Protestant Hell -?!" "Fuck you, that's how."

Have a lil leche with your cereal. Make ya laugh.....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QVzSHXFtvnM.html

how come?

I think his impassioned rants about unimportant shit are still there, just not often uploaded to RU-vid. Correct me if I'm wrong!!

Same

Same 😩

Same, but now that he has an audience back it got much easier again. I needed the laughter or else my brain internalizes :(

Maybe he's a cereal killer.

@@lorihale7788 I assume the original commenter was being tongue in cheek, which is just so in the spirit of LWT that I had to give him an amen. I have a feeling this Jeremy guy is trying to be a troll, he doesn't get an amen.

That is monstrous and I hate you for making me aware of its existence

How did they get Shaq in there 🤔

Money as usual I see.

I'd never heard Tony the Tiger's name get shortened before today.

It's also because they literally tell each other "I love you" then "I love you more." They're literally competing over which one loves the other more, so something is going on there. I don't know if it's bestiality or masturbation, but it's something.

Not according to the google machine, "Dallas McKennon, Keith Scott, Tony Daniels, Tom Clarke Hill, Tex Brashear, Lee Marshall, Jeff Morrow, Andy Nagraj are the voices of Tony the Tiger in Frosted Flakes, and Kenji Utsumi is the Japanese voice."

Same, but I never went to college.

But what was your opinion on chocolate?

@@AssassinLupus7 - No wonder I never became a Goth kid - I am a chocolate addict.

If you were a true Goth & in high school.. "already had a tattoo" "wore blue & black nail polish when wet & wild was the only brand that made those colors & now say FU to the rest of woman" "smoked in the bathroom" "listened to hair metal before RHCP & NIN became popular" "hung out @ nightclubs til 4am w/ older dudes" ect..that was a true Goth kid from Generation X. They didn't go to college, so I call Bullsh@t that you were a Goth kid. I take that back, one of our interns just said Goth kids wasn't a word til her generation. So you must be a millennial or under who are known for their ENTITLEMENT, NARCISSISM & that SMUG look "they" always have on their "I am inherently given everything in life" face! Goth kids like that are actually portrayed in South Park absolutely Perfect! So you were just a loser!

This was so accurate, and hurt my feelings so hard, that I assume a 14 year old came up with it on the spot.

The unnerving part is I saw this at 2 am on Memorial Day and it seems to fit flawlessly In this time

“Bro, what if we, like, made a mystery cereal. No hear me out. We could like heal the fuckin country, bro.”

That analogy is so specific I feel like you're speaking from life experience.

I can't believe he didn't use the, "When you eat it, you'll shit bricks" joke.

Yes, so thanks for ruining the best part

Me, too!

Me: 😱No!!! NOOO!Please don't attack my cereal.... John: ☺There's not enough new cereal! Me: 😑Oh... Okay!😀

I actually would have enjoyed him ruining cereals 🤣

Same

I mean, give him credit, historically he also gets excited by Adam Driver, that sexy man-beast.

He is excited for DeWalt ladders.

*SEWAGE PLANT CEREAL*

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved grape-nuts as a youngster. Maybe this was secretly the reason why... LOL! Thanks for the laugh.😂

Nice lol

Grain Shapnel is a good name for a new cereal!

You WIN the interwebs today lol

well... don't buy any cereals that are owned by Nestle. They hide what companies they own so people don't know. Here's the list of allllll of the shit they have under a different name: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands#Cereals

@@relaxationstation7634 I thought Eskimo was safe ☹️ (except for the racist name) or are the countries in brackets the only countries they own the brand in, rather than the country the company is based in?

this

@@relaxationstation7634 Nestle is such a rabbit hole. The more you learn, the worse they look - and the more products you discover that they secretly own. Where's the conspiracy theory about Nestle controlling our lives? That'd be more realistic than most.

Palliative care is just making someone feel better, deliberately not treating their disease.

The only viable option for them is to donate more money themselves. Every other option makes them look like dickheads.

@@unvergebeneid No. They must tweet at John Oliver "Fuck you" and then donate the money anyway. This is the only viable option.

@@DavidMcGuizz no, because 95% of readers won't be in on the joke. I'd bet money myself that they can't and won't tweet "fuck you."

They wont do it, the point is to show how they care more about image than actually helping.

It's a British thing. No, really.

No one cares, these are the fucking END TIMES! Cereal commercials aim at young people, but currently young people are busy with keeping the old geezers from destroying the planet. Cereal? Not high on the priority list.

{Only-&-only to the OP: }What about the periods of hiatus, then?

Perfection.

There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position. I have been more skillful than lucky to be honest also thanks to Daniel wright who trained me as my initial investment was multiplied so much In two months.

Excellence. That is what this comment is

@lepofDtri - EXCELLENT observation. Carry on!

They have Eggo cereal, though! In both regular and chocolate flavor, too!

HOLY CRAP!! WAFFLE-OS!! That was one of my favorite cereals as a kid in the 80's!! It was sooooo good!! and they had cutouts on the boxes where you could build a Little Western Town- me and my brother did that, and played with our cowboy and indian figures with it

@@Pixie_Shmixie and sorry Pixie, Eggo Cereal is not the same, those Waffle-Os were Like crazy tasty Maple Syrup and Waffle Batter, I don't know how they did it- but even talking about it, as a 48yr old, decades Later, I can still sense-memory that waffle-syrup taste!!

I want my Post Toasties back!

@@squirrelcovers6340 : Post Toasties were just Post's brand of corn flakes. Try eating them blingfolded next to a bowl of Kellogg's corn flakes. You won't be able to tell the difference.

Oh yeah, the Churros! I was thinking about the Dunkin' Donuts one. (spoiler- it's pretty disappointing).

@@ununderstood Sure, the fun thing about Donuts is that they are all fluffy and soft. As for cereals - I looked up the Nutritional Information on some and compared it to the ones on a pack of cookies. You literally wouldn't be able to tell them apart by that.

Saaaame

Is that a community reference?

Still bleeding

Right like who told him?!?

What are friends...?

Becsuse you don't like chocolate?

I’ve never related to a comment more ❤️

Sounds like Modern Takling to me! 😁

Especially at a random follower. Imagine waking up and checking your Twitter (or X whatever) and the official Cheerios account sent "Fuck you" @ you

because of

@@rita-want-sex152 because Mallorca is where the oil sheikhs go to holiday and western oil companies go to lick their balls to get those sweet petrobucks. Someone must bear witness as these greedy fucks guide the climate to oblivion like Slim Pickings riding a nuclear warhead. *YEE-HAW!*

@@andyoli75 Nah Mallorca is where the Germans go on holiday. It's absolutely filled to the brim with drunk Germans.

@@majorfallacy5926 And especially the lower middle class Germans. Not the super rich like oil sheikhs.

This had me in stiches and now everyone around me is looking at me like I'm some complete and utter lunatic lol

Wait, so you're not depressed about boring cereal? 😉😄

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought I was gonna find out that cereal is destroying the planet, wrecking my body, etc and to find that John is just unhappy at the novelty in the marketing, honestly makes me feel warm inside, since I eat cereal every day and would be really sad if I had to stop.

@@Skyler827 same! I fully expected this to have been the last morning I could eat cereal! (I live in Germany, I get these videos in the early morning)

Im just glad that through everything hes been a solid voice to talk though the most arbitrary and also sincerely hard times of of the 2020s so far

I've been doing this most of my life.

Same thing

30$ betting that would never happen...

It got me tweeting at Cheerios.

@Kurt Faasse I like these odds!

there we go again, the dumbest comment in social media history lives on....."im dead" -.-

It'll never happen, but they probably will have to give $50k to charity now NOT to do it.

Agreed

I think most of us who grew up eating cheerios say DO IT

@gelas lawas It's a video of a full moon. It actually happens every 29.53 days, so it's not a big deal....at all.

This is just numerically untrue though… Cereal is like 8-10 grams of sugar per cup? A 2 oz pack of skittles is 47 grams of sugar and I don’t think that’s even half a cup.

@@arjunyg4655 What would a cup of cereal weight compared to the skittles?

@@mikaeljensen4399 Not sure, but I have the following information that might differently answer your thought process: cereal is 19% sugar by weight, Skittles are 75% sugar by weight.

@@arjunyg4655 I guess that would depend to some extent on the cereal but if the rest is just starch then that it not much better.

@@mikaeljensen4399 There’s some fiber, protein, minerals/vitamins in the cereal. None of that in candy.

Same

Or products of child labour

@@greezen I mean they probably are. Let's face it, a large portion of chocolate (specifically cocao bean) collection is backbreaking work done by kids

Well, don't look up the history of post and Kellogg then....

@@dezravolkova *Tony the Tiger voice* "I-I-I-I-I WONT!"

The "Egg incident"? Did I miss something?

Yeah, what is the egg incident?

@@1989Nihil I find myself asking the same question. And I'm interested to find out more

We all only make peace with our madness, the world's madness. We drown it in sugared cereals.

I'm sure he meant nothing by it.

but would you feel better if you had an official cereal?

The worst part is they already make such a cereal: Frosted Wheat.

Same 😂😂😂 😭😭

@@Suramkale Grapenuts. It's like eating cat litter, only with less flavor.

I still don’t have friends even after college

That statement hit me hard

😂😊🙂😐😕🙁☹️😢

Yeeep. That hit me hard.

Dang and I haven't even physically been there since march 2020

Sept 1970 first time college, first friends Yeah! that's for me. I'm tired of porridge :)

There's a podcast I'd like to introduce you to called The Empty Bowl. The cereal world is moving and shaking, but not in some cereal aisles John goes to.

I worked for one of these companies for 7 years. There is so much pressure on from parents’ groups and governments not to make any more kids cereals, that companies have to tread carefully. There is no joy on our side developing something that will be slammed as too high in sugar and ‘giving kids diabetes’ etc. Altho I agree; the marketing dept and NPD were very lacking in imagination and gumption. They’ve spent the last 30 years trying to build up the nerve to move from the box to a bag. Similar to film companies, they are risk averse. It would be great to see a new entrant disrupt the industry. All the new entrants make muesli. Why not make a kids cereal?

Trix has always been just round little spheres since its inception.

@@cherylcampbell9369 absolutely not. They used to be shaped as fruits, but for the last 10+ years they were switched to spheres. They have recently put out classic boxes with the cereal shaped like fruits again. Simply Google “Trix cereal shapes” if you don’t believe me. But some of us were alive in the 90s and ate the fruit shaped Trix

@@kildareire So are you saying that cereal manufacturers have/are tried making a cereal for goths ?

Was it true?

What? He wants to make a whole new cereal just for you =P

🤣 I thought the same

I’m 32 years old and that “soft, sad sixth-grader” comment STILL hits close to home.

@@catherinecase1142 Don't worry about it. Imo it means you were likely less of a little shit when you were young.

So the like mcrib of cereal?

I love this. Just like the monster cereals that show up every October, but a cereal that only appears every 17 years, and so plentifully that their numbers are too great for everyone to eat. Then they disappear, not to be seen for another 17 years. GENIUS!

God, don't remind me... Aren't they due to come out next year?

Brilliant!! 🤣🤣

It should be made using insect protein..

MARSHMALLOW SHEEP!!!! KAPTAIN K YOU'RE ON SOME NEXT LEVEL SHIT KEEP GOIN M8

This video and comment are major baader-meinhoff. I just woke up at 3am from a dream about being young at my parent's house and eating cereal with a massive craving for some. I was just about to walk out to buy some fresh milk and maybe a banana if possible. I'm going to regret having that much milk, but I'm just going to take this as a sign I should do it.

I like the way u think. This is actually a great idea

Cereal companies I'm begging you, please make tiny marshmallow sheep

Call it Morphe-Os.

I read this as he was saying it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the only time it's ever happened

John's artistic deployment of profanity is without peer.

Well, that man was living my dream: breakfasting on chocolate cookies.

As a person who has never bought Cheerios in their life...I will buy out my local store if they tweet that.

Word.

Wendys would tweet that before Cheerios ever would

LMAO all my characters in DnD but my storm cleric aasimar (LG) & my 2 half-orc brothers (CN) are chaotic good thats 9 CG characters in total. It's honestly my favorite alignment

No. He's chaotic neutral. He doesn't care if Cheerios takes his bait or not. He'll have material either way. If he was alignment good, he could just give the money to charity if he was so inclined. But that's not entertaining enough; he wants to know that they're squirming about it. Chaotic Neutral - "I do what amuses me".

@@theziggy1342 true but he does this show not just to entertain but to inform people to enact social & economic change for the better hence CG.

@@theziggy1342 good point. Yeah it's a dare. I bet some considered it.

Imagine playing table top DnD with John Oliver.

Best Cereal Idea Ever!

No, mostly circles, and every few hundred boxes they throw in an alien. You will be looking for the aliens in your crop circles. A few towns over a kid allegedly found two. He got arrested by the CIA the next day. If you find three Mulder and Scully knock on your door.

Far Out ! ;-)

Can it have the history channel guy as the mascot?

Alpha-Bits cereal can spell out “Fuck you.” Cheerios can only go “OoooOooOoo!” like a ghost.

One of the greatest shows of all times!

I need to go rewatch the bomb-disposal robot episode :D "What OS is it running?"

Definitely heard this in everyone’s voice 😂😂😂

It's definitely worse if you're American and thinking of American Smarties when you see that episode

Oh, I see, a man of culture! *raises pinky while sipping tea*

While there's already a Nutter Butter cereal, Post doesn't appear to have given it a mascot or slogan.

Amy--we need you to quit whatever job you are currently doing and go to work for the cereal marketing industry right now!!!

You don't think the Get Vaxxed Cicada representing a box full of crunchy cicada shaped cereal isn't a slam dunk? THAT is the emo goth cereal if I ever heard of one!

That would be a cool part two to this video. If yal agree like @Drecon84 post! Maybe they'll do it. 🙂

Lol same here, I was actually kinda expecting a fake cereal commercial at least

One minute into the video I was like "OK they're definitely launching their own cereal brand. That's weird"

Spoiler alert! >: (
