It's just crazy how much has happened since he went on break. The election hadn't happened yet.
lol why did I think he went on break just after the election :|
He did. The last episode aired on November 15th.
Yeah Canadian feed was messed and started with "Things are weird!"
It absolutely was Badgey.
HBO Canada needs to stop doing that lol, it's amazing how many times this happens
For a network without commercials, you'd think it wasn't rocket appliances.
I especially like when they don't have the new episode of something in time and just show trailers over and over and then show a repeat lol
A very good one.
And depressing as absolute fuck.
Cause it's a retread of police militarization again.
Holy fucking shit this is wrong on so many levels.
So I DVR Last Week Tonight off Sky in the UK. I went to watch the most recent episode just now and a minute in and there was a really awkward skip which I assumed was an issue with my Tivo. Coincidentally I've since learned that the missing footage was a Prince Phillip joke which apparently my sensitive UK ears aren't allowed to hear. Can any other UK viewer confirm if the joke was intentionally cut?
I know the UK does not allow commons/parliament footage used for comedy so Last Week Tonight has to replace it (usually with nonsense) when it airs there.
Wouldn't be surprised if the broadcaster cut a Prince Philip joke. It was pretty tame, too, just commenting that him and the Queen were cousins.
They talked about Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth being cousins. He said they were related and got married also known as a Giuliani meet-cute.

I thought they only censored out clips of Parliament. This is wild, haha
I only noticed there was something cut because the edit was badly done and you caught a split second image on the left side. Figured it was something about Prince Philip.
Yeah it went straight from the Pixar joke to a flash of Giuliani.
Seems like anytime the royals or parliament are brought up in comedy, UK turns into China in terms of censorship.
The Parliament thing is a law ("Cannot laugh at any parliamentary scene" or something). Anything regarding the royals could just be that the media is so nationalistic nowadays that broadcasters are now experiencing a "chilling effect" of seeing the potential front pages on The Sun and Daily Mail and deciding it's not worth the hassle. And even without the media specifically, targeted complaint campaigns can be atrocious for PR.
John Oliver calling out Biden, Americas "Peaceful protests please" bullshit and the police, he is definetly treading the far left line.
Good. Fuck this system. Fuck capitalism.
Good. Fuck this system. Fuck capitalism.
Noticed Sky in the UK cut the introduction of this week's episode last night, looked it up on YouTube to see it was the comment...
He introduced the show and compared the void to Prince Philip's coffin.
Do they really think that anyone watching Last Week Tonight is going to make a complaint about that? What really gets me is the scene they cut last week was footage of Sky News!
John Oliver explains Black hair.
It's about discrimination and politics about Black hair.

Great episode!!!! Every year, at the Emmys, the crew of John Oliver's show sits in the same section. They treat the show like an sporting event cheering and booing loudly. They've won the last two I've attended. They are probably going to win again this year as well. Whoever wrote last night's episode needs to go on stage with him.
I never understood what compels adults to want to touch black people's hair. Leave them alone. How would you like it if people went up to you and wanted to touch your hair?
Agreed. It's really creepy. Yes, it's probably a material you've never felt before and you wonder about it. But oh well. Just move on.
This weeks video is so infuriating. The guy in Texas that shot the two people in the back getting a damn applaud from the crowd was just sickening.
They really don't ever upload anything other than the main story for that week. For the rest you have to watch the whole show.
