S1 E1: India, Pomegranates & Lisa Loeb: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver 

Only the one? Oh, no.

Don't worry, Reality will soon fix that.

It won’t take long for the universe to change that.

Yeah, I could see the other eye losing hope really quick

It’s acting.

And the flavour-of-the-week parent company of HBO.

Do you like that business daddy ?! O, johnny is acting up again !

And also the ability to revisit the old problems that are still unsolved until today😅

Oh...it's preserved in many places but this will be another

@@wyomii Nah, the Business Daddy is the flavor of the month. The name of HBOs streaming service is the flavor of the week.

Remember the whole.. “just when you didn’t think it could get any worse? “

It’s the whole “Fuck! We’re in the future! I don’t like the future! Take me back!” arc

My thoughts, too. How weird to hear our election talked about without Trump being center stage.

We fuck

A badge of honor.

And what does that tell you?

And you were the first use of the satirical redo of an ad that’s more honest. I think that’s way cooler

@@bodenking That's an excellent point.

Yeah, I watched the latest episode yesterday, this John looks to be about 80 years younger.

I'd say he is aging pretty well. He just turned grey

He's still a very distinguished parrot 😅

I think he's definitely more handsome now, but I'm an old woman.

Rude

Did I just stumble onto a time warp? ❤ this!

Ah....the good old days. We need to make America great again, and keep that guy out of the media!

Before Trump, before Modi, we really didn't know what was about to hit us

That's not what "hits different" means

@@bluexroses414 if you weren't alive during the bush presidency, or reagan, or nixon , or ....

I was like.. wow this episode is still like current news!

All those sweet sweet IT consultation money.

😂😂😂

You travel all the way across the country struggling against river fording, dysentery, mud and hills and when you finally arrive you can't even use the unemployment office?

Oregon still has this same problem to this day. They can't seem to implement big software applications.

No, we're just now getting the FULL episodes online, not just the main segments. So much "missing" content for millions to now fully enjoy. Cheers🥂

I remember watching the first episodes as they came out, and there were a few more interview segments, notably the one in-studio with Pepe Onziema. I’d love to see them be brought back just for the hell of it

​@@jenifernewburnThere's still no 'main topic' in this episode. I've seen some of the full length episodes, and the current format is still different from the older one. Could you tell which is the main topic here? Technically it's the elections in India, but its length is not longer than the rest of the segments, specially the false advertisement one.

@@saxor96 Do the latest episodes still contain non-main topics? I'm from the EU and only watching the youtube uploads and have no idea what what the rest of the show that I'm missing out of looks like.

@@Fiyaaaahh They do, they're usually small comments about US news, but there's some funny bits like the bird contest.

lol yes, I'm peruvian and I've been getting mad at US politics than doesn't affect me whatsoever since 2015

Which it shouldn't be, they've uploaded a couple full episodes before, specifically the 2016 election one was a full episode that was one segment

@@jorgebravo7980 It does though. America is the global hegemonic empire and the choices made have reverberating effects across the world, even in Peru.

The very first video on this channel was the full first episode (and for a while, it was a advert too)

"Our main story"... I've missed so many news recap jokes preceding the main story...

It’s like we didn’t start the… Oliver?

It's almost sad....

Thank you! 😊

Nostalgic hit hard when the first clip was about Donald Sterling😢

Had the same thought

The desk (and the reflection) being flexed every time he beats his desk legit drives me crazy lol. They really should build rebuild it with tempered glass and metal frame.

I believe that years of pointing out illegalities, hypocrisies, and other bullshit that is easily correctible and seeing nothing done about any of it will cause the kind of behavior you describe.

Thank you for dating all these episodes!

Jesus, been that long!? happy Anni~

Wow! That's fun! I hate it!

Wow! That's fun! I hate it!

Hmmm... "Big brother is watching you"???

Right there with you.

Bingo 😂❤❤❤❤

Hopefully India voted for the right man

I also used to enjoy Bill Maher until the pandemic hit. Since then, I have been avoiding him like I have been avoiding the JRE.

A GoT plus LWT combo rewatch from the start does sound nice.

​@@SayAhhhe completely lost his mind, and once that veneer was gone, it became so obvious how narcissistic, self serving, ignorant, and just dumb the guy is. He's absolutely obnoxiously pompous, if pompous was personified, it would be him.

Those are good choices- they also had Watchmen, which might have been my favorite single-season show ever.

John is the only person who could steal my attention from Khal Drogo. Brain, glasses, accent= total package

I'm kinda confused what everyone's talking about, we've been getting the bulk of the episodes for later seasons, haven't we?

@@kleine.kleeblattit’s usually just the monologue though not the whole episode. Like 20 minutes or less

@@jaquanpowell4605 How long is the entire episode?

@@kleine.kleeblatt like 40ish minutes. There’s segments than the main story at least that’s how the show evolved. Usually on RU-vid they just upload the main story.

@@jaquanpowell4605 It's the other way around. The monologues are the only thing that's been cut out. The main story is what has been posted, and they only cut out around five to ten minutes of the opening monologue.

America do be like that

Almost thought this is a reupload of an older season of the show

It’s kinda jarring- the voice is exactly the same!

​@@ball56 …Because it is

​@@YasugoLiehuThey were being sarcastic

LOL. I wouldn't go so far as to say that E-6 is "lowly"; that's middle management! Even as an E-5 in the Navy, I was the senior enlisted medical personnel for some units I was in, second only to the Flight Surgeon, who was typically a Lieutenant. By the time I was an E-5, I was simultaneously running the APU (Ambulatory Procedures Unit), the PACU (Post Ambulatory Care Unit), and the Endoscopy Suite at a Naval Hospital. When I made E-6, I was running Labor and Delivery. I was finishing up my third deployment overall (my second one within a USMC unit) by the time I made E-6. And, for my rating (Corpsman), it takes an average of 8-14 years in service to make E-6 - AKA, half to two-thirds of one's career, assuming one does a fully 20 years to retirement. I know there are a lot of officer paygrades above an E-6 (and there just are not that many E-7s to E-9s, or Warrant Officers), but the E-4s through E-6s in the Navy were doing the heavy lifting and keeping the fleet running. Likewise with my Marines; many of those shops were being run by Corporals (E-4s). Which isn't to say you don't warrant a Navy "Bravo Zulu" for job well done! ;)

Technical Sergeants are not lowly they are the linchpins of the enlisted force. 😉

@@Darknamja Where I was, I had to be surrounded by Majors and Chiefs who were all running amok and screaming while I tried to keep a cool head. I learned just how agonizing having middle-management rank could be.

@@AMortalDefiant For me, it was like "Great! You made Technical Sergeant! Now we're going to still treat you like shit, but we're also going to expect more of you." One odd discovery I made was when I was working in Dining Halls (that's what the Air Force calls Chow Halls for those wondering why I'd use such a fruity term) we had this standard for our budget variance, which was that at the end of the month our income and expenses had to net within a margin of plus or minus 3%. If you know any Air Force members who worked in Dining Halls, mentioning the dreaded 3% is enough to give them instant anxiety. I had E-7 bosses who wanted to spin some bullshit about how their jobs were so hard, and that we could never handle the stress of what they do. Then I became an E-7, and I managed a Dining Hall. That was the easiest job I've ever had in my life. Tell me if this sounds like rocket science. You examine your average income and expenses for the first three weeks of the month, and then you use that data to plan how you'll balance your budget for the last week. That was it. That was all that I had to do, and I was easily making the 3% margin every month. I don't think that what I did was brilliant, I think that literally EVERY Dining Facility manager in the Air Force before me was very fucking stupid.

you were a what in the what?

Right? Young John Oliver came out swingin

Yes and its only gets BETTER.

“It was the best of times….it was the worst of times….lol” ~ alyssastewart738, 2024

I wonder if it's the entire library or just the first season. Either way, I agree with you: I want all of the full episodes from the last 10 seasons, and I want at least another 10 more seasons.

@@coalblooded They are releasing the entire library on here only doing one season a week for now.

it's such an awards darling I think it'll keep going as long as john wants it to

On twitter, they said they will upload a season whenever they're off for the week up to season 8.

@@kingsteve4304 Does that mean there won't be a new episode tomorrow night? If you happen to know.

Yo‽ Same!!! Never seen anyone else comment this! I'm sure there's ton but cool to see!

What are "search moments"?

Ughhhh don't remind me.

Fun Fact: I was actually in a 10 day coma due to kidney failure.

they never were lol

Yeah that’s a weird omission

Just wikipedia it

@@joebob2311productions ??? Almost every reupload on this platform has the original upload date in the description, if it's become the norm i don't think it's asking for that much

Before we Knew™

I don't see quite so much thirsting for horses and stuff like that in these early episodes...

Dragonstone? I missed that?

Bro was like 36 😳

I feel bad for the guy in Thailand you're no longer watching 😢😅

Sentences I didn't have on my bingo card for 2024 but in hindsight make complete sense: "damn I miss traditional Republicans" 😂

Yo you're telling me 😂 I appreciate you refusing to spell his name correctly out of appropriately placed disrespect as I do lmao

With luck it'll air for at least another ten years

There is something fitting about that being his first story, as that was a weird premonition of what the 2010s will actually end up being

I literally can't believe that dude is still alive.

I almost literally just turned 25... I've already had arthritis diagnosed since 14 as severe and advanced... I shudder to think of 45 with these joints. Shiver me timbers 😭 wish me luck! And pass the WD-40 for my crack-a-lackin Tin Man ass body lmao, I'll need it 😂

Crimea happens during this season (Trump presidency doesn't but he's mentioned in the Miss America episode, sigh, simpler times)

I think this was in 2014, so ten tears ago

4 Trump years = 421 Scaramuchis = 12 regular American years = 72 dogs years... It was exhausting...
