S5 E21: Trade, Giuliani & Australia: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@TheKasperHermans]

16:51-17:44 is the best part of all the episodes, if you ask me.

[@synapse7274]

The fking Pulitzer-winning story out of nowhere 😭

[@Kingbimmy]

Saw this comment and waited for this part of the video. Absolutely did not disappoint. 😂 I will never forget this version of history now 🤭

[@theslingmethod]

Brilliance, pure brilliance!

I shall go there directly!

Four years later, Trump still doesn't understand how tariffs work. Smh.

[@jrbship]

Six years from the air date, and still true

[@DJMorillo-e7f]

I'm from the year 2042 the year he dies and I'll confirm his last words were: tarriffs are the reason I'm immortal and then died like the sad orange clown he always was. Ironically the crowd sizes for his funeral are massive! Only because they made a dance floor over his burial site. Trust me in 18 years it'll be a fun time.

[@missingno81]

Neither does his maga supporters. You have to wonder how these people even have a high school GED.

[@Lebrook4609]

One of the best episodes yet!

[@Jcewazhere]

What's worse: Finding your trade guy on Amazon, or hiring the Goldman Sachs CEO to do it? Bama was pretty good, man I miss when we argued about mustard and ties instead of basic facts.

[@Whiteythereaper]

That's how fascism worms its way in, changing history & convincing the idiots in society that basic facts are wrong & were instituted by "they", the bad guys that are the cause of all of your problems, through some wider conspiracy based around one of their characteristics. The idiots elect the people promising to end it & they start with mass cleansing & clear class divides between the elites & the working classes.

[@In_TheMoonlight]

Rudy Giuliani stunning Chuck Todd with the stupidity of his remarks so hard he can't speak is so funny oh my god 😭

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Bro, how can anyone vote for this, former president? His tariffs will destroy this country

[@Rad9000]

Hats off to the graphics department for that last bit. They need their own channel.

[@aabu4995]

Everyone close your eyes and think about something… he doesn’t know that

[@Banter07]

7:36 this joke caused me to immediately cram my Blåhaj into jeans and take him down to the kitchen chanting “denim” at increasing tempo. My parents thought it was funny.

[@Wasabineko]

I was curious if that Missouri aluminum worker still had a job and discovered that the Magnitude 7 Metals closed in early 2024 citing “abnormally cold weather” meaning that employees only got 4 days notice of their lay-off instead of 60 days (there is an exception to the required 60 day notice if they can cite a natural disaster)

[@jssmith0225]

Dwight Howard has played for 5 or 6 more teams since this episode aired. The reason I’m not specific if it’s 5 or 6 is because he was traded the year this aired and I don’t care enough to check the exact date that was

[@thesausagecontinuim1971]

is it just me or does bob katter (the aussie in the hat) look like freddy krueger from nighmare on elm street?

[@anything.with.motors]

Literally the best episode of this show iv seen 😂😂😂

[@thejackal007]

David Kaye really does an amazing job on this show!

[@4thalt]

Someone needs to write the full Donald-Melania-Aluminium worker fanfic

[@peterk-k7792]

The voiceover person on the documentary sounds exactly like Martin Sheen

[@nyxNovem]

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that. I was so confused.

[@rajt9592]

It actually is him I’m pretty sure

[@mayz7753]

@@rajt9592 The credits at the end say 'David Kaye' did the voice over

[@PhilipJackson03]

Just realized Martin Sheen did the narration for Death By China. wtf was he thinking??

[@maggiekelso997]

Came into the comments to see if anyone else had noticed that. I notice they DO NOT mention that at all. 😂 probably for the best but still...

[@FkDJT-ut1hm]

"I can name 10 forms or trade." Surprise. He can't. He doesn't even know what a fucking tariff is.

[@Lamalas]

Love the intro!

[@John_Mack]

Even now, STUPIDITY is inceasing...

[@charliegreen5361]

Honestly thought the Catheter Cowboy would show up at the end

[@portmantologist]

Holy shit, I was not prepared for "the Ken Bone of 9/11".

[@davephillips6733]

It’s interesting to be reminded of trum p’s inability to assess consequences of his actions, and making things worse.

[@TheDiamondcutter101]

A teapot is smashed everytime John Oliver uses an Americanism.

[@azizs7604]

Hopefully Aussie Bob got the big C

[@echognomecal6742]

Finally, a compelling storyline for a Freaky Friday sequel we can All enjoy.

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

I can't get over Martin Sheen doing the voiceover in the video for the "Trade Guy." You should know better, Martin! You've worked with John Oliver before!

[@Bagster321]

Ironically, Katter is extremely funny because of how barmy he can be. I find him often disagreeable. But he is by far a better representation of North Qld than anyone else.

[@rjpittman4510]

I love Martin Sheen but he made a mistake narrating that movie

[@DryBones271]

Guiliani has a big mouth, too bad only word vomit comes out!

[@juliearcand2358]

Watch the true story Rabbit proof fence!!! Shocking

[@DryBones271]

If this administration is "the best" Trump could get, we should all be afraid!

[@ElinSnatyrVODs]

and now he wants to do it again but with higher numbers cause i guess all the knowledge he has is bigger number is better but even then that is wrong.

{Insert nonsensical political rant here.}

[@callroland]

The Australian guy was 1000% on point.. His answers were "reasonable". for example, the word "gay" was a happy useful word. A Gay World is a Good World. right? Instead, now a days, "gay" means a gay man or woman. The other day, my dog acted gay. I do not mean it in a mating way, He jumped around, wagged his tail, and I thought to myself "THAT is gay".

[@DrewSavo]

I’m not defending Katter here, but I just want to say this: I live in the UK. If I was Scottish and flew a Scotland flag in my garden, I would be seen as proud to be Scottish. If I was Welsh and flew a Welsh flag in my garden, I would be seen as proud to be Welsh. If I was Irish and flew a Ireland flag in my garden, I would be seen as proud to be Irish. If I was Norwegian and flew a Norse flag in my garden, I would be seen as proud to be Norwegian. However I am English and if I flew a England flag in my garden, I would be seen as a racist homophobic POS and immediately be set upon by News and locals as such. The line between patriotism and racism has been wiped away. That’s all I’m saying.

[@Whiteythereaper]

Stop lying. People get more hate for flying a pride flag in their garden than flying the St. George Cross. Everytime the World Cup is on the flag is everywhere, even in Scotland and Wales. You're acting like the people in America that treat the Flag like a religious symbol & claim it's not allowed to show it off anymore because of "the woke mob" but it's just their intolerance and "patriotism" (ultra-nationalism & supremacy masquerading as such) on full display as they berate people for not respecting a fucking piece of cloth. No one is coming to cancel you because you put your national flag up. You're recieving accusations of homophobia and xenophobia because you harass people online and spout hate speech and claim you're being silenced.

[@MrDuane-lr8dm]

That speech was solid gold. Solid Nazi gold.

Was Martin Sheen short on cash?!

[@nanyubusnis9397]

25:12 That voice, is that Martin Sheen? The guy John Oliver got to voice his "end of the world" clip to be played "when the apocalypse is confirmed" ? Because I'd like to hear from that guy what his excuse was to narrate this bucket of lies.
