This episode is a poem that high school freshmen will someday be forced to begrudgingly read

[@Tiredseahorsedad]

Hope you write more than posts that is an evocative way to describe it. Please do a novel

[@Creodin]

You win the internet for today.

[@Shindai]

I know it's goofy but I've seen this four or five times now over the years and that short film of Chiijohn meeting Shinjokun makes me tear up every time

[@lordkagato00]

I wish the US had mascots outside sporting events

[@MisHarmony]

I read this comment before I watched the episode (for my very first time) and now I’m at the end absolutely in tears. How was that so funny and so beautiful? Absolute masterpiece 🥲🥰

[@sachikoishida]

I can't believe there was a whole segment about going to Susaki! My husband is from there and here is how small that place is, I showed him the segment and he went to school with one of the guys chasing them out of the sushi place 😆 Next time we go I'll look for ChiiJohn!

[@jakobrichards2783]

I’m not sure having the playlist of s6 on while I deep clean the house is healthy… but I’ve been laughing all day so that’s nice! Thanks for releasing this guys!

[@moogle68]

John was absolutely right about Chiitans meme skills. I have never laughed so hard, so quickly than I did at the "is this a pigeon?" meme. 😆😂🤣 Also, I will now forever call birds, "birbs"

[@korbindallas4552]

Ze Frank calls them birbs. I call them birbs. It's about time John started calling them birbs too.

[@MisHarmony]

@@korbindallas4552my favorite Tom Hanks movie is The Birbs

[@evanholt1752]

Chiitan also appeared as a contestant on Takeshi's Castle. It was majestic.

[@DefaOmega]

Man I'm glad Season 6 is out, but reliving some of this is rough

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

The timing is almost perfect.

[@changc.9741]

Very funny. Remember when John was excited for trump to run?

[@Ristle]

HELL YEAH CHIITAN, saviour of advertising on twitter!

[@lazyradish]

The Chiitan segment is a favorite in my family.

[@Burentsu]

The legendary Chiitan episode!

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Chijohn is the greatest love story of all time.

[@Catt1717]

I think that jigglypuff is the most shocked I’ve ever been on this show 😂😂😂

[@jessehammer123]

Poor Jigglypuff. :(

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

Sometimes it's the simplest and silliest things that can brighten our days, and John Oliver knows that better than anyone.

[@ashcraft555]

❤Chiijohn❤

[@leannezzers]

THE CHIITAN EPISODE‼️

[@aabu4995]

That is so true. If your old best friend never left than your new best friend would never come.

[@In_TheMoonlight]

Sticking even a toe back into memories of the Trump era news cycle is all the reminder I need that I never want to experience this or anything like it ever again😭the fact that we have to rehash all of the times that Trump's aides ignored his requests in the face of this upcoming election and the threat of a Trump presidency without that limiting force is enough to give me nervous sweats on its own

[@lewisbeer6156]

Welcome to hell my friend.. I wish you the best..

[@bonniebrush94]

Thanks John and crew for providing some sweet humor to go along with the bitter reality of TFG. 👍

[@_somerandomguyontheinternet_]

It still boggles the mind that we got these details halfway through Trump’s presidency and he’s still got a shot at winning reelection.

[@JadeDavis2577]

Who else loves this guy!!!!

[@Viindiagram]

I expected chiiran to just be in the background watching them enjoy their time together and then at the end just pile driving chiijohn.

[@superstormthunder3]

Watching this in 2024 still makes me so happy Trump lost re-election in 2020 and I hope he loses re-election again in two weeks

[@nikhilpatel7587]

Oof

[@Unfortunately_Mickey]

Statistically, a baby is more of a threat to a standard snake than vice versa

[@slipstick985]

Was the baby named Hercules?

[@DrewSavo]

As my mate once said “In defence of my client your honour, babies kick pregnant women _all_ the time.”

[@peachesthesordid8619]

I really needed that. Thank you John.

[@BirdsNNVA]

I love the Chiijohn story!

[@slagseed8986]

I love chiitan

[@JasonvstheWoke]

Well, this did not aged well😂😂😂😂

[@artrogers3985]

I am entertained! 🎸

[@EDoyl]

omg Chiitan Japan's crazy mascot

[@DrewSavo]

11:23 jokes like that remind me of how in New Tricks the longtime antagonist of the show, Ricky Hanson, was defeated: he was betrayed by his own son when the boy learned that not only was his girlfriend and longtime lover actually his half sister from his father’s mistress, but that daddy had also been sleeping with her for many years behind his back because he could control her.

[@johndough2320]

Spoiler alert: No repercussions from the Mueller report

[@emerald_witch9]

Has anyone given John a Chijohn plushie yet? Cause if not I might have to get on that

[@jaysleeper264]

The lady that just has to scream like a school girl when the Jonas brothers come on the Disney channel every time she hears something she likes is exasperating.

[@MisHarmony]

Beef tower John Oliver. Respect.

[@insainbassist]

Watergate is the stupid Watergate so this has to be the stupid stupid Watergate

I like peeps :( dont like their other flavors though

It's just so FN crazy, the orange guy gets away with everything, what the fuck

[@changc.9741]

How clever. Did you come up with “orange guy” all by yourself?

[@mnm1273]

@@changc.9741 A nickname isn't very useful if only you know it. One person makes up a nickname and then other people use it, that's how nicknames work

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

A vote for trump is a vote for Putin.

[@changc.9741]

Mitt Romney said that Russia was the biggest geopolitical threat facing the USA in 2012z Obama made fun of Mitt for that claim. Liberals created trump
