S5 E26: Saudi Arabia & 2018 Midterms: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@fallingupwards7974]

DeSantis making an ad showcasing him reading stories and indoctrinating a small child really hits different in 2024

[@EdaugEthanbYT]

Oh my god! I can’t believe there was a time before DeSantis was ruining Florida. It’s shocking just how bad things were and how much better it was than now

[@Afroninja2025]

So u like mestball Ron?

[@EdaugEthanbYT]

@@Afroninja2025 No. Meatball Ron violates human rights and belongs in The Hague for it

[@whydoineedahandle1058]

​@@Afroninja2025 I think you're misunderstanding them. We thought Florida was bad back then but DeSantis has made it so much worse

29:43 I yelled out loud “DO IT DO IT DO IT, say the thing!!!” 🤣 I love SO much when John does that condescending “… cool.”

[@dabeardedjerf]

His timing...amazing!

[@anthonyfanchin1144]

The way he says cool to priceless.

[@dvdkolk]

He also mixes it up sometimes, I've heard 'Rad' and 'Dope' for example.

[@agiar2000]

Thank you, John Oliver, for respecting pig consent!

[@corybaldwin1168]

"They are doing everything they can to limit civilian casualties," why does that line sound so familiar in 2024?

[@agiar2000]

Yeah, I will admit, when I heard about the bombing in this episode, part of me was like "Oh, only ONE schoolbus full of children? That's nothing! America will support its genocidal allies through MUCH worse!"

[@viviorko]

It’s written on every missile we sell.

[@donovanlocust1106]

How can you miss a "kneel" Armstrong joke? Or their was plenty of Neil-ing on the moon. or, without a Neil, the flag wouldn't be up there!!!!

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Reminder: Ron DeSantis only won in 2018 by 0.4% 😭 We could have had Governor Andrew Gillum smh

[@erzatinker]

Yay! New episode and it's full length!

[@bonniebrush94]

Thanks John and LWT staff for reminding us. 👍

[@0hpossum]

16:13 I REFUSE to believe that last John doesn’t know how his hair looks. That expression says “can you believe they let me take the photo like this?”

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

And on a side note, this was made six years ago, and WWE has "monitored the situation" by continuing to take their money...and is about to host another event there. There's a reason many in the wrestling community call these events "Blood Money."

[@Ani-rq7wv]

As an animal nerd, love seeing John be like “hey we can just not do things to animals when they don’t want us to do specific things. Even if it’s not actually dangerous or hurting them.” Like yeah it’s mostly a joke but still, it’s nice to see the joke be about not doing the thing instead of the animal’s reaction to having something done to them that they don’t like.

[@joaoborges6851]

MBS as in... "major bs"?

[@TheRealEvilkitten3]

i do think it's a little funny that john was more scared of that one hawk way back when than he was of the pig. buddy one of those is significantly more likely to try and eat you and it's not the one you're cringing away from XD

[@notta_clever_handle]

Wowwwoe weeewow 😂 that desantis ad

[@jaffar386]

Why is John Dickerson listed as one of the two people in the info panel about this video?

[@Manzola14771]

I am watching every season 5 episode tonight. I've watched 5 so far.

[@Allie-fk6om]

That DeSantis advertisement honestly looked just like satire to make fun of him, imo.

[@fmny3634]

There’s 11 seasons of this and because I live in iran I can’t watch more than 5

[@mckenzieraynor8436]

All of the main stories are up!!

[@awkwardalmond9987]

So it's been proven that when pigs see the sky, as it is something they don't normally encounter, they become frightened. He's absolutely right, don't lift pigs! They get scared by the sky! That pig is screaming because- as far as the pig understands, it's about to fall into a blue infinity stretched as far as it can see. Interestingly this also happens to Humans who have lived their entire life in hilly or mountainous areas when they experience the prairie for the first time. It's called Prairie Madness.

[@nikandthepartz]

The end with the pig made me wish I had some sort of audio / meditation of John Oliver validating my existence and how I take up space

[@robertrichards1265]

As a Salisbury resident, back off Salisbury John!

While I applaud John Oliver and his staff, let’s not pretend there’s not a certain amount of cognitive dissonance here. Obama was just as chummy with the Saudis, at one point even offering them $115 billion in weapons for sale.
