S1 E8: Dr. Oz, Iraq, Thailand & Antarctica: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver 

Damn, I forgot that he got George R.R. Martin and Steve Buscemi in season ONE, and in the same episode no less!

“Check this $hit out with some guy named Mehmet” 😂 I watched that part probably 10 times

I was living in Thailand when this aired, and the love people had for the previous Thai king Bhumibol was absolutely real, especially when compared to his son (the current king). King Bhumibol was a symbol of kindness and humility to the nation, and his son has seemingly done everything his father didn’t want him to do with his life. There are still protests today being helmed by the youth of Thailand to try and abolish the monarchy completely.

It's been 10 years and the bit with G R R Martin could still be made exactly the same way today, lol

At 6:47 I like how they're like, "Go to Alaska instead" and then immediately after, their big circle leaves it out entirely lol

Boy, this brings me back. When I was a teenager, my sibling and I would sit on the floor on weekends and watch these segments on RU-vid from our dad's old laptop.

Steve Buschemi is a treasure ❤

I was waiting for "I'm not a dingo" and I was not disappointed

That Kevin Spacey’s sex dungeon joke aged like fine wine.

Weird to see John bring up a horse in a non-erotic way

It's incredible how well researched this show is it's been 10 years, and it still resonates today.

Sidebar to Dr. Oz. We have a problem with out Ivy League schools. Just look at the crazies in our Congress who graduated from Ivy League law schools and are in league with MAGA!

Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡

I'm gonna watch all of these episodes at 1.5.x speed before youtube gets ahold of them and ban them for not being censored. I've always wanted to binge watch LWT starting at season 1. I didn't start watching LWT until season 8. Was hooked, still hooked, always gonna be hooked on LWT as long as John Oliver remains host. Hope they drop an entire season every month from now on.

I bet Dr Oz dreams about it being called Ozempic because of him 😂

As someone from Spain I have to point out that not only did king Juan Carlos abdicate due to several corruption scandals, but that even AFTER abdicating he kept commiting those kind of behaviour until he was forced to go out of the country. Now, he lives in Abu Dhabi, together with another problematic figure from the Spanish Royal Family, Froilán (nephew of the current king, so Juan Carlos' grandson). Froilán first became famous for accidentally shooting his own foot with a firearm, and is now known for throwing extremely wild parties that include drugs. Also, as a sidenote, a few years ago the left-wing politician (and former Vice President) Pablo Iglesias gifted the current Spanish king the video collection of Game of Thrones.

You had me at seeing Steve Buscemi dancing. 1000%. LOL

Hey MAX if you’re asking if we would like an oral history of these episodes with John and the writers and producers talking about what was happening behind the scenes and following up on some of stories. Have we ever landed dingo/not-a-dingo on that one guy?

Ooooof, Matt Lauer 😬 didnt realize we were going back *that* far

S1 E8 (aired June 22, 2014)

I think I have watched every episode of this show. Can’t get enough of the beaked man

I love how when they circled the earth, the left out most of Australia 😂😂

WOOOO! The first "Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

Dude eating the ice is wild. There’s no way that tastes good. You know it’s gotta be salty, and not particularly purified.

Kevin Spacey's sex dungeon really hasn't aged well...

Puppy guy seemed very pleased to be puppy guy

i cant believe these are all season 1. Man. They did a lot, even back then

If a company compares themselves being regulated to you being raided by police they're probably don't have your interests in mind.

The fact that the GRRM clip is a major event in the ASOIAF fandom 😂

I feel like I'm watching these for the first time all over again...

awwww, it was almost as if he was actually writing a sequel for us!

I thought doctors SPECIFICALLY AVOIDED the word "miracle."

@LastWeekTonigh Well, John, you really nailed it. There are Mat Lauer, Charlie Rose AND Kevin Spacey in a single episode.

I wonder if this show will get more seasons? 🤔

I somehow just learned about the genius of this show. Just in time to see them ALL, i guess!

I saw the dingo coming from a mile away!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

The irony regarding the Game of Thrones throne is that the British monarch is technically not allowed to sit on the throne of another country. She didn't sit on it AFAIK. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Steve tapping is fantastic!

Can you add the original air date to the description?

Doc oz had me looking for bs supplements fk him😂

These can be difficult to watch given how things turned out over the subsequent decade. But, hey, the last century was about to go seriously wrong at about this time in 1914.

I’m not interested in going to Antarctica. Not because I’m not interested in such a beautiful place, but for me… it’s TOO COLD!

awesome to have these released!!

I wonder how that puppy is doing nowadays. I hope it's lived a loving life since

I'm so proud to have been a watcher since season 1! It's so fun to see how the world has changed in 10(ish) years 😭

Lmao I forgot people loved Dr Oz before he ran for office

I love seeing how much morning joe has not changed (to the detriment of its viewers).

11:18 Cool to hear about a beloved king

Can we please have the date- month/year of these episodes? Pretty please?

This was likely commented on the first time the main segment was aired on RU-vid, but assuming that T-Shirt was real, does anyone know what was printed on it?

Somehow I can't equate water sitting in penguin sh!t for 400,000 years with the word "fresh"

And special thanks to the puppy!

A decade later and nothing's changed.

we've been waiting for the Winds of Winter so long, that people have analyzed GRRM's screen to determine what chapter he was writing in that clip. Spoiler: seems to be a Asha chapter after the battle outside Winterfell

They cut out the Trashy Girls dancing to the Marching Band. In the older version, you can see them 😢

The best episode so far... I love you John !!!

"we dont care where you go, just as long as its in this general area" *Circles world and leaves out New Zealand by a wide margin* Youve done it again, Last Week Tonight. Made a joke at NZ. Well guess what? It was funny. So good.

It's wild to think that the puppy at the end of this episode is now 10 years old.

Episode 8 of asking LWTWJO to Please post these in opposite order so I can binge them in order without having to skip back at the end of every one 😢

Definitely going to Antarctica now

"Let's have a SKYPE interview with George RR Martin." What is this ancient magic?

If you value your kidneys, liver, and cardiac health, ditch the supplements. Protein is ok. A multi-vitamin isn’t terrible. The rest is an unregulated gamble and a huge waste of money.

some of the fucking. most thoughtful shit i’ve ever seen

“Freshest water you’ll ever taste” and “it dates back 400,000 years” do not go together. Is it fresh or is it old?

As a band kid the ending made me happy

For some reason singing dictators and autocrats scare me more than any other type.

Just wrote a comment in the previous episode about how old it made me feel to hear John explain what ISIS is and now this video talks about the abdication of the former king of my country. Man these videos are ancient

Okay but imagine being the marching band that landed this gig 😭

Man, I'm so sad new corporate daddy can't even bother to give John Oliver a real live audience. The man deserves to not talk to a wall.

When he mentioned songs for nutritional supplements did anyone else think of Dr Funke's 100% good time family band solution

Ahhhhh! - So THIS is why the flat earth folk think we're not allowed to go to Antarctica.

These old episodes make me kinda sad. Not much has changed eh?

Having spent a lot of time in Bangkok the past 2 years, the idea that there was a horse in the city is more wild than anything else. Its like a car parking lot under a baking sun. Poor horse probably died of heat stroke. Also, their king is the richest monarch in the world by far. He also resides in Germany/Austria for most of the year too...

> be me all confused > is John the O not going to shit on the GOT ending? > *thinks* > oh right

Always remember kids: you can always believe WHATEVER you want to, facts be damned.

22:29 Subtra-what? I just scroll to the earliest year in the list and pick that. Who can prove that I wasn't born January first 1900?

“Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back”

You know this is an old episode because Dr. Quack was still relevant

Outstanding!

Uhm when did this air? CAUSE IT LASTED 20+ FREAKING YEARS AND IS STILL GOING!

has anyone begun downloading and hosting these in a torrent yet? i dont want these to become lost media

I, too, want to eat some Antarctica now.

When you see this show, it makes perfect sense that Dr. Oz would run for the U.S. Senate in the Trumpublican era.

Awesome episode!

My family used to talk about the fuckup of the family, then I hit adulthood and took the role with gusto 😎

This clip is 10 years old, why is it just now being posted? Seems like you would start with season 1 when uploading. Theres nothing this show doesn't mess up.

That Kevin Spacey joke aged like wine/cheese

Advisors means special forces

Spain is an example of how traditions shouldn’t always be preserved

All those Antarctica tourists are flat-earthers trying to prove it's just a wall

6:38 could be the first time on the show that they did a fake-out with geography.

Thighland*

2014.06.22

I can't believe he didn't thank the puppy. :(

if you pause at 22:06, it looks like John just got hit in the junk. Thanks for the full episodes. Penguin farts.

I pay for HBO... why in the FUCK do I not have access to these on the MAX app? Old seasons of Maher too, for that matter. C'mon HBO... WHAT THE FUCK?

"Dr. Oz is becoming a problem...We're going to need you to mock him."..."Yes, Mr. President."

Looked it up, apparently the Queen politely declined sitting on the throne, because historically sitting on a foreign throne is an act of aggression.

But flat earthers say no one is allowed to go to Antarctica. So how are all these tourists damaging the ecosystem???

Kirby has been a lying piece of garbage for at least a decade now huh
