S5 E13: Guardianship, North Korea & Babchenko: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@moogle68]

That blooper at the end, from whoever that celebrity lady is, was great 😂

[@ryanbrooks2434]

I think it was Rita Moreno

[@morpheen4557]

I came here to say exactly this. Zero idea who this lady is but she was excellent.

[@sebastianariasbalderrama9648]

I really thought it was Jane Fonda

[@NhonyaBSness]

I absolutely love Rita Moreno!😂

[@DrewSavo]

@@moogle68 Cloris Leachman, Rita Moreno, William Shatner, Lily Tomlin and Fred Willard

[@DrewSavo]

Cloris Leachman, Rita Moreno, William Shatner, Lily Tomlin and Fred Willard arguing over hippos is something I didn’t know I needed but now I want a full 4-hour podcast with just that.

[@artrogers3985]

I couldn’t agree more 🤣😂🤣🎸

[@Ani-rq7wv]

As a disabled person, every time someone asks me about people who self diagnose but don’t pursue “official” diagnosis I want to show them this piece. Because a lot of disabilities/mental illnesses can be used as “evidence” to put someone into a guardianship. Sometimes an actual professional diagnosis is actively dangerous to people.

[@rachelfox8108]

Tommy Muscatello answering the question of how he got his British accent with "it what I was tot", when that's not how I or any British person I know pronounces "taught", was truly a cherry on the top of that rubbish fire.

[@rachelfox8108]

Also to add... he knows he can be a royal expert without larping as a Brit, right?

[@elaineb7065]

I "cot" that right away!!! (caught)

[@rachelfox8108]

@@elaineb7065 Thank you! I knew I cu'n't (couldn't) be the only one!

[@OscarLangleySoryu]

“Tommy Muskatello” 💀 You can’t make that shit up

[@Suzy24]

I just googled Babchenko and apparently he’s still alive and now lives in Israel

[@raradis]

Thanks, I was just going to search that. 🫡

[@backupplan6058]

I imagine taking daily dances lessons while having the shoes picked out by the door ready to go.

[@lukaszwodzynskiHNB]

Thomas J. Mace-Archer isn't though

[@bonniebrush94]

Thanks John and LWT staff fot all the work you do. You provide valuable information and education while making us laugh.

[@runaway_student]

Oh man… Now I miss John Bercow again.

[@MrMatteNWk]

And if in the UK, "I miss Gilbert Gottfried"

[@jacobkalbfleisch5431]

Yelling at Neil DeGrasse Tyson aged well

[@rjpittman4510]

NdGT is one of my favorite celebrities so always happy to see a cameo

[@hannahduh8371]

My dad had cancer and it spread to his brain and i was basically threatened by his home hospice care to move him in or theyd contact adult services and take guardianship. . When my ex died, his family lied and got emergency guardianship of my daughter... its was so effing scary. The guardianship lawyer i had to get, she had freaking horror stories. .. kids and elderly... its worth it to know what could happen. People are awful.

[@PinataFreaks]

Aw, RIP Fred Willard

[@caseysaunders2168]

re: hippos, would they be fucking machines too? the eroticism of violence and murder, especially on film, must not be ignored

[@tashasharp815]

Just ask Rita lol

[@pendragonfan42]

Okay, but seriously - how does William Shatner age THIS well??? Wine should be taking classes from him!

[@anthonyfanchin1144]

The whole hippo joke had me laughing 🦛

[@DryBones271]

He says "I know more about the British monarchy then anyone in Britain" My Mother would like to have a word!

[@echognomecal6742]

Thomas Mace-Archer-Mills aka Thomas James Muscatello: New Yorker O-Ren Ishii aka Cottonmouth: Chinese-American Don't bring it up. (Btw, died young. Idk how, but @ 43.)

[@MorganVsTheInternet]

10:56Imagine committing identity fraud against an elephant!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Every British person knew that guy was not British as soon as he opened his mouth

[@elaineb7065]

He was "tot", no you were TAUGHT. On top of that, nearly 10% of the UK doesn't eat meat at all (2-3% vegan, up to 7% vegetarian), so yep, there are a good few of us (I'm vegetarian)

[@jinjiyoshi5548]

​@@elaineb7065Just found out he died in 2023 and his cause of death is unknown...he...he just died, no one knows why and no one cared lmao

[@victoriaeads6126]

23:58 Oh...that aged poorly. Now we would say open air wet market. 😬

[@DANNYonPC]

Thomas James Mace-Archer-Mills is dead now.

[@tengkudita3665]

Look up on Google Yes

[@witchsquad3324]

Wow at 43 years old

[@erikgoodyear3119]

Cloris!! She was always amazing.

[@kueifengtung]

Is there a follow up on this elderly abuse issue?

[@fireflyfox93]

This feels like Arthur Knight 😂

[@kefinkamed]

Oh c'mon, you really can't tell that "Royal Expert's" English accent is fake as hell? 😂

[@ethzero]

11:30 "John Oliver" pulled this shit in the UK a while back. He's really from Belgium.

[@vernonturner3113]

The movie version is "I Care a Lot" .

[@MattShore-u7t]

Oof, calling Ukraine "bonus Russia" really hasn't aged well.

[@MattShore-u7t]

...and the line about an "open-air exotic meat market" hits different post-Covid, too

[@Ophiotaurus_AKA_Bessie]

John Oliver, bringing awareness to guardian ships before it was cool #freebritney

[@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm]

Did you know that the Cocaine Hippos started with Pablo Escobar importing 4 hippos. 4 hippos, called the Cocaine Hippos, and Hasbro isn't making a horror movie.

[@bsug29]

This episode was exceptionally brilliant! 😂🤣🤣🤣 Although, they all are.😬

[@dealanabruce1034]

It would be prudent for judges to at least have a brief conversation with those who are potentially facing gaurdianship rulings before the decision is made. Because if the individuals are not Non compos mentis and are still able to make decisions to manage their own lives, they should not be considered for a gaurdianship ruling.

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

Just for the record...hippos really do suck. John even mentioned that in one of the most recent episodes!

[@Zyo117]

Thanks once again, Johnny Joykiller!

[@TheRealEvilkitten3]

honestly, even if he hadn't told his wife, i think that'd be understandable? like it sucks to be put through that by your husband/friend, but the alternative might've been him getting murdered for real, right? so it's better this way i think. also john in the nicest way possible? that balls joke - while funny - was one of the most cishet things you've ever said in your life

[@christopherbj]

Question: is this episode on KZbin either partially censored or entirely banned in the UK?

[@pleappleappleap]

The apostle Paul never met Jesus, neither before, nor after the resurrection.

[@dstinnettmusic]

I miss Bercow

[@HerrCron]

Yelling at Neil deGrasse Tyson for being a kill joy is always morally correct.

[@louiseransil8115]

This many years later -- it's amazing how depressingly relevent John Oliver's shows still are...

[@arrow_awsome]

i diddnt recognize any of the celebs from that final bit; but the lady who cracked her self up from the fucking macines joke seems lovely

[@angelinalionetta685]

You're referring to the incredibly talented Rita Moreno - have you ever seen the original West Side Story ???

[@magnificus0]

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a legend!!!! Change my mind, i dare you! 😄

[@B0bb217]

Googling "Neil DeGrasse Tyson sexual assault" might change your mind

[@micalishis]

Isn't moving to a new country and acting like you belong there the most British thing you could do?

[@deamonsoul1]

I love Neil

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

if Trump wasn't so stupid and terrifying he'd be pretty funny 😅

[@enulyraunaj]

john bercow 😭

[@EALoArt]

2:14 well this is either no longer funny or even funnier depending on how bleak your humor is.

[@DamonMattison-ol6br]

John, Starz made Ash vs Evil dead so I must disagree with you there.

[@LunaryxDiarmait]

Poor hippos.

[@negydimenziosember]

Neil deGrasse Tyson was too much for him to take on, even with all of his research department, and he respects him too much but still tried throwing a punch...and yeah, hippos are only great from afar, except for Moo Deng, she seems nice.

[@Rowsy91]

Am i the only one that doesnt like when they do some celeb mashup at the end to drive the point home? I usually agree with the final point, but I think LWT needs to realize the avg person hates celebrities telling them anything political. Comes off as elitist, condescending crap usually. Just saying i think the point gets driven home better with the real people stories not voice overs from actors trying to be political

What's wrong with you people? ❤❤❤

[@nanyubusnis9397]

6:38 The fact that anyone would be happy if after years of living in fear, their plan worked and the people they thought were following him were caught *ASIDE* . How can you be so certain he thinks he is immune to assassination rather than knowing full well that if he was assassinated for real this time, there'd be 0 doubt that pootin had continued to try taking his life. I'd goad him out too when my larger point is not about me, it's about the fact that pootin is a murderer. Pootin's *only* choice is to leave him alone.
