Last Week Tonight - And Now This: Sixty Seconds of Tucker Carlson Being Right About Stuff

From the August 21, 2022 episode of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver".

[@SayAhh]

I get that it's out of context on purpose, but to be fair Tucker gaslights, panders and brainwashes its audience to perfection.

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

Fairs fair, half the time Tucker quotes someone else it is out of context.

[@DrunkSamurai]

He makes his audience think they are insane?

[@Seven-ce9zn]

"hiding in plain sight" the conspiracists would bring up

[@riri12566]

​​@@DrunkSamuraiyeah obviously what Tucker does is disgusting but I feel like it's literally the exact opposite of gaslighting lol. He doesn't make people think their rational, fact-based conclusions about their immediate environment are actually false and delusional, he makes them think his irrational, baseless conclusions about larger society are actually normal and sane. It's literally like reverse gaslighting lol.

[@DrunkSamurai]

@@riri12566 I was being sarcastic. Many people don't know what the word gaslighting means.

[@niremgucin]

It gets meta toward the end there

[@JK-vp2ux]

Well we know he didn't mean any of that. He is one of the most fragile of snowflakes anywhere! He breaks down and cries any time someone criticizes him. Then he goes on TV and rants about it.

[@sandyc9541]

Yes they have a rapt audience just waiting to hear what they should cry about, be outraged about and hate today/this week

[@SnoFitzroy]

yeah, the whole point is that it's out of context clips where he's quoiting (WHAT HE SEES AS) "ridiculous ideas from the left," where what he says immediately before or after what's shown would have confirmed that. This lack of context is the whole point and the entire joke lol

[@kellidinit3725]

Tucker accidentally tells the truth.

[@GolfActual]

Wait a minute... they're trying to make it seem like he thinks Coolsville sucks!

[@androz38]

But you're taking him out of context!

[@Katimashi]

Funny thing is nope, this is how Trumpers want America.

[@bjrneirikstrkersen1021]

No, its the part before and after thats out of context

[@lberghaus]

Not out of context. This is just the part of his show where he sarcastically pretends to express opposing viewpoints before mocking them. Oliver’s pointing out that this is the only way to string together 60 seconds of him being close to right about anything.

[@seethlaemmert5175]

ah, context

[@rileyfuckingrifle]

Tucker is often correct if you leave out the ridiculous, bootlicking caveats he carves out for himself and his fellow fascists. Lmao. Nice editing!

[@Katimashi]

All Trumpers are terrorists.

[@deathlokprime2645]

I absolutely 100% agree with him, especially on the last point.

[@a.i.8583]

Of course since these are clips of Tucker being sarcastic...these are the clips they use to smear him. Since the accusations Oliver throws at him are pretty much bullshit sophistry mixed with shitty jokes that aren't funny.

[@deathlokprime2645]

@@a.i.8583 Well, he is racist, he is misogynistic, he is all sorts of terrible, Fox is not a news channel, and in sarcasm there is truth. And Oliver didn’t make a single joke. He let Tucker run his mouth and the truth spilled out like most of his verbal diarrhea.

[@Darbobski]

@@a.i.8583 Was Tucker being sarcastic when he was tanning his balls with red light? Help us out and explain that one please.

[@sheridan5175]

@@a.i.8583 It's a joke, the context is fairly obvious. There's no trick here.

This is definitely the most I've ever enjoyed watching Tucker. This video is not getting nearly enough attention!

Well I'm sure it got a lot more attention at the time being on HBO and HBO max.

Tucker being right for 60 seconds out of the length of time that he talks in a week would seem about right. No one can be wrong ALL the time.

[@thisleftylefty]

it’s awful, sarcasm can even make a hog like Tucker Carlson sound right

[@Katimashi]

Tucker tries to be sarcastic but ends right back at pompous and arrogantly ignorant. It is sad they are so terrible at comedy.

[@sm00gzbear]

@@Katimashi he sounds like if someone asked the question can anything cause the ears more pain than kid bopz.

[@sm00gzbear]

He's like a free condom with a hand writtien note attached with a bobby pin.

Some say, his birth was the proverbial "fall from grace" and that demons try to envoke him.

Ikr?

[@charleskunz3063]

Even though this was for a good cause I really hate hearing his voice.

[@raggedcritical]

Republicans seem to respond really positively to the sound of a weak, nasally, whiny white man. Maybe it's a paternal thing, somehow.

[@donovanlocust1106]

You can give this to a Fox News watcher and they might believe it.

[@Katimashi]

No they believe it and agree proudly. All Trumpers are terrorists.

I actually was worried for a second that Tucker has at some point said something SMART before I watched the clip and realized it was just a minute of them taking Tucker's sarcastic bullshit out of context.

For 60 seconds he was right about stuff, but he was completely wrong for the remainder of the day.

[@lunarumbreon7699]

I was really hoping this was one of the few times he was actually right about something. Like when he told Fox’s audience that wearing a mask isn’t that hard and should be done
