S5 E10: Rudy Giuliani, Russel Crowe & West Virginia: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@xgimi456]

I'm crying happy tears that we got another 6 seasons after this 🥲

[@austinemms9772]

Six years later, that Ivanka-Giuliani-Trump joke is absolutely perfect.

[@adrianred236]

Fair play to you. I was trying to figure out when this was.

[@CandiceSadako]

I must have missed out the developments

[@TripleS24Squad]

Yes, you're right

[@synapse7274]

Russell Crowe working with THE IRWINS to make a John Oliver Koala Chlamydia Ward as a response to John Oliver buying a bunch of auctioned items and then donating them to Alaska's last Blockbuster is one of the greatest celebrity back and forths to ever exist. There are no losers, just a lot of winners - including Koalas. I want more of this instead of celebrities constantly beefing (unless its Drake being destroyed by Kendrick Lamar, that was also awesome).

[@Sonichero151]

I don't think you can win at life any harder than baiting Russell Crowe to work with the Irwins to create a koala chlamydia ward in your name and honor. It's so wholesome yet so stupidly funny

[@JamesSimmons-d1t]

huh?

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

I thought the pair of underwear went missing 😂

[@FIRING_BLIND]

If you like stand up, I highly recommend Josh Johnson. He's got a great set on the the Kendrick/Drake beef, and then a new one about the Drake vs UMG lawsuit😅

[@felipechalreo]

one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing the full episodes

[@theanthill22]

Knowing what has come of Rudy this show really hits hard

[@sugaredwards6207]

He was always trash

[@RustyJones-j3h]

If I recall correctly - there is old footage (like late 80's early 90's era) of Trump and Giuliani in some NY Ballroom and Rudy is in full drag...with a gown, makeup and earrings. And it's almost as if the 2 of them are flirting with each other. THAT is what I was expecting to see in the clip where they referred to Giuliani's "weirdness." But to my surprise he was also a cousin f*¢ker. And the hits just keep on comin'

Yup! I remember when this first aired, I went and checked it out, and... ferrets. I just went back to the websites today after rewatching, and... I was not disappointed!

[@lorettahiggins3717]

John, thanks to you I am always entertained.

[@nitaweitzel822]

Hell Yes

[@gamerguy425]

That clip of Biden was 17 years ago but he looks/sounds like 34 years younger. Absolutely hilarious/classic episode that feels like it came out yesterday!

[@julane-h2y]

John is a world of treasure!

[@Batters56]

I absolutely love that ferret man is on with a youngish Tucker Carlson in basically an acknowledged cameo.

[@ArcanineEspeon]

I didn't notice, so pretty unacknowledged to me!

[@GGsInterests]

Love you, John!!!

[@hatthein7815]

Another classic by Mr. John Oliver. I couldn't stop laughing. Well played

[@arrow_awsome]

as someone born just over a year after 9/11; i first found out who giuliani was from when he first joined trump. i gotta say; ive never been able to picture him as composed or good for the country as ive heard people say about 'america's mayor'

[@yasminerobinson4220]

Right?? I'm 23 (7 months old on 9/11) and I was about to comment the exact same thing. The idea that he used to be considered a hero just...does not compute

[@melanieearly3450]

As someone who was very much an adult on 911 and was totally sold at the time on how he handled all of it, it’s really insanely difficult now to picture that he was ever that person so I’m sure it would be impossible for ppl your age

[@spuriouslathos2518]

It's hard when he was known by everyone in New York for being a tool, but the rest of the country only knew him from some very flattering 9/11 footage. This is also before the proliferation of the Internet, so embarrassing news would be slow to spread.

[@RustyJones-j3h]

As a 20-year old, non-New Yorker on 9/11...mark my words; most of us young adults were awe-stricken with the actions of the REAL heroes of that fateful day. The NYFD and the first responders of the 5 boroughs. Once they plastered Giuliani's stupid smug face on Time magazine, we figured him to be an opportunistic bullshitter like the sitting president.

[@Uruz2012]

He happened to be in office when a disaster happened. The rest is just his PR bs.

[@jackl4laughs]

Ah yes, The John Oliver Koala Chlamydia Ward announcement.😂

Buying the URL is so fantastic

[@kyleoswant9533]

[@seraphonica]

Rudy Giuliani talking that way about Ivanka Trump makes a hell of a prequel to his role in Borat 2. Actually, Ivanka looks a lot like Borat's daughter...

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

Only twice has someone managed to successfully snark back at John Oliver: Pom Wonderful and Russel Crowe

Youre forgetting about the Sewage Plant incident

[@gondil07]

​@@moogle68 in the very first episode of the show they had a segment (or part of a segment) on pomegranates and the started benefits of them to which Pom Wonderful sent a lovely letter and a little gift to John and the team. There is a KZbin exclusive video that goes through it somewhere on the channel.

[@maryperry1773]

This is why John Oliver wins the awards 🌟great show

[@kcbowman4042]

Congratulations. Again. As always.

[@kenflagler635]

Oliver and Stewart. These two comedians are absolutely the best at stating the obvious. Highlighting the insanity all around us, loudly. At the same time making you laugh hard. Love these guys. 😎😎😎

[@WVgrl59]

I wish SNL would do a skit on Blankenship😂😂😂

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

So THAT'S how we got the John Oliver Chlamydia Ward! I had been wondering about that. Also, that "ending" probably made many wonder if it was ending at the time. Well played, John and Russell Crowe.

[@improv6132]

In the realm of hilariously, brilliantly, dumb, yet harmless prank wars - the divorce auction -> jock strap -> Blockbuster -> the Irwin Family dedicating a koala chlamydia ward has to be the greatest in the history of the world. I laughed so hard when it happened, and it has aged beautifully. It is a magnifcent series of weirdness that I will never forget.

[@tracycottrell5146]

Omg love this guy

[@joannejohnson7006]

There’s always a reason for the timeline for John’s show. I hope that he covers the “cracker factories” in Ohio, where Shell oil needs to have more protection from dangerous chemicals in their environment But we get instead, Haitian immigrants eating pets… Environmental protection for cracker factories 🏭 You are the best fact man 🧍‍♂️

The annoying thing is according to all official Wikis, they have events in the wrong order. If u go by then, they have John buying the stuff, then Russell and the Irwin’s setting up the clinic before John sends the stuff to Alaska. And despite my numerous attempts to rectify this error I have been blocked because some admin doesn’t like that I’m trying to correctly display events in the order they actually happened.

[@CollinMcLean]

Ok can we just agree news anchors are never allowed to bring up Cinco De Mayo ever again? Or St. Patrick's day for that matter... General rule of thumb, if you plan on starting a news broadcast with a bad accent and a funny hat... just don't...

I'm not gonna lie, Russell Crow, delivering the money to the koala thing in australia is really cool. We need to focus more on the infrastructure of animals in nature because they have a big role.The survival of humans in the long run, and a lot of human beings don't realize that as they keep building over natural habitats.
