You know the state of your democracy is bad when people go: "Hey, at least, she's not neo-fascist".

I'm danish, i was just sitting playing a game, not paying much attention to this video on my second screen, and out of the sudden all i hear is: "You hear that denmark?" "Go fuck yourself!" I was so baffled i must've looked like a complete idiot for a second there haha

"Joe Biden is going to become the most inspiring soul cycle instructor ever" - or, you know, the next president

Michell Obama: I wake up every morning in a house built by slaves... Everyone: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Do American politicians and military men ever get tired of this bombastic jingoism nonsense. When they say "America is the greatest country in the world" it's so fucking embarrassing, what other country in the world says this

At this point I think the USA would do better with a dog as president

Guys remember when we thought 2016 was the worst year ever? That it couldn’t possibly get worse.

That father of the muslim U.S. soldier gave the best mic drop in the whole election.

The US election this year is a joke! Its literally a lose lose situation..

And here in Canada, we're all going: 'daaaaaamn'.

14:48 I always come back to this video because it's one of the most notable times you can see John's genuine anger at something he's covering. Him being mad at Trump for making the suggestions about the Khans always sends a shiver down my spine. Such an emotional moment properly conveyed.

Who’s watching this, hoping that the DNC will make the right choice this time....but highly doubt it.

Sometimes I watch things from before the election to pretend like it hasn't happened yet.

American politics are an absolute embarrassment.

“Self-serving half truths, from a self-serving half man” is a fucking beautiful line.

Watching this in 2019...it's hilarious and sad.

America's elections are a circus

How will this election look like in young people's textbooks 50 years from today?

“Once Biden has left the white house he’s going to be the most inspiring soul cycle instructor ever”. 4 years later, this means something completely different.

"2016 is shaping up to be one of the worst years ever." Oh how nice it was to be that innocent and Naïve...

What has Hillary sacrificed?

"That comforting the families of fallen soldiers may be something that is beyond his capabilities..." -John Oliver Hi I'm here from October 2017 to tell you that you were absolutely correct Mr Oliver

I was at a Tim Kaine rally here in my home of Charlottesville and Khizr Khan was there. He has the ability to move people without raising his voice and exploiting fear. He truly is an inspiration. I'm disappointed that I didn't get to talk to him afterwards. I'm sure I would've liked to know him in person. Maybe some other time.

_"In full Pit Bull cosplay."_ That was objectively hilarious!

America is the weirdest satire tv show ever wth is the plot?

Fuck man, there is a family who's SON has DIED for America and Trump talks about the sons mother _eventually not being alowed_ to speak in public. FUCK! That upsets me so much!

I love it when John is so tickled by a news op that it cuts back to him slapping his desk - that’s the best

“All of Trump’s favorite family members, and Tiffany.” This shit got me laughing mad hard.

"I'm all about the details" Except for those 30,000 missing emails, but why let facts interrupt your paid promotion right?

came here to listen to John calling Trump "fucking arsehole" for the 10th time.

"...the simple presidential duty of comforting fallen soldiers may actually be beyond his capabilities."Somehow, that actually turned out to be true.

“The first lady” **shows Michelle Obama** Ah… _simpler times._

You know what? I'm tired. I'm tired of this election. It's completely asinine how long and tedious our presidential campaigns are. Why couldn't we just have an 8-week campaign like England or Canada? But, no. We have to have a year and a half of speeches, rants, conventions, drama, insults, biases, and bullshit. I want this election to just be over with. And you know what else? I want this show to be fun again. I loved seeing John take on FIFA, save the internet in 2013, and make fun of any news source that fucked up. Now? "Last Week Tonight" has pretty much devolved into "Let's Talk About How Much Trump Sucks Tonight". And before all you hardcore leftists and SJWs start spamming and labeling me as a stupid Trump supporter, let me make this clear: I am not a fan of Trump. He's a clown and could easily end up becoming one of our worst presidents if elected. But Hillary is no saint either. Yet people seem to cheer for her like she the messiah of America. They hardly acknowledge her crimes and mistakes. I wouldn't mind John's constant mentions of Trump if he equally mentioned Hillary's blunders but he never does. He's barely said anything negative about Hillary and when he does it isn't too long before he moves along to bash Trump some more. You can bash Trump all you want John but stop giving Hillary a free pass! There's no denying that we have two shitty candidates to pick from...if you focus solely on the Republican and Democratic parties. John, why not offer your support for the Libertarian Party or the Green Party? I've seen you offer up alternative solutions before, John. Why not *GASP* suggest that we move away from the 2-Party system and allow some others political parties to come into play? The Republican and Democratic parties have failed America this election. Sure, the Libertarians had a few mess ups as well but nothing nowhere NEAR the level of the Republicans and Democrats. But, no. It's clear who's getting John's vote this November: Hillary Fucking Clinton. And I won't be surprised if Clinton ends up winning...but I still hope that Trump wins. GASP! Why is that? It's clear that we're still stuck in the Republican v. Democratic bullshit and no Libertarian, Green, or even an Independent will be stepping into the Oval Office anytime soon. If I can't hope for them, then I can hope for the candidate that will give me the most satisfaction. And why is that? Trump is what America, and more specifically the leftists, deserves. Trump is a monster that was created by the actions of the regressive left. The SJWs, the feminazis, the biased mainstream media, the leftists who are incapable of accepting any flaws with the Democratic Party, the left that wants to fight against free speech. You all created the monster that is Trump, and you all deserve to have him knock your goddess Hillary off her pedestal. I want to be given the satisfaction in knowing that, with his presidency, every leftist will be left dumbstruck. Every SJW will trigger with fear. Every egotistical Democratic asshat will be put in their place by the beast they gave birth to. We saw it happen with Brexit, and now it can happen again with Trump. I want to make it clear that I'm Independent, so I'm as middle of the road as you can get. But this is what this three-ringed circus of a presidential race has turned me into. I've become Heath Ledger's Joker. I just want to watch the world burn with the fear spurred by potential President Trump. Because that's what we all deserve. The idiots on the right. The imbeciles on the left. We created this. We allowed this to happen. And, John, I get a feeling that you may be jinxing yourself with the constant shots at Trump. Your video on Brexit was followed immediately by the UK's decision to leave the EU. History could very much repeat itself. Again, I hate both candidates and I won't be surprised if Hillary wins. But if Trump wins, I will gleefully smile and laugh knowing that, at least, we will all be miserable together...

usa politics is a circus.

I stopped watching at the Boat Show fail and started searching more fails involving reporters. I saw a reporter ruin what may have been the World's Largest Jenga structure, a professional ice sculpture, knock a person into the water while trying to stop a fall, and one accidentally electrocute himself on a 6,000 volt fence. Reporters are more dangerous than many of us have realized! You should do a segment on this

I'm rewatching this in 2020 and I want to cry.

John was so visibly and genuinely angry by the end. I love it.

I like how the video is titled after the Democratic National Convention, but it was all about Trump....

Honestly, watching these speeches, it’s not only Trump that we Europeans don’t understand, it is the entire political system along with these conventions, the yelled speeches and the voting system 🤷‍♀️

“It’s not just a detail if it’s your kid, if it’s your family.” Might not be the most powerful line, but imagine Trump saying that with this tone. I’ll wait for the wheezing laughter to stop.

I thought this video was suppose to be about the DNC. Virtually no mention of the protest or leaks.

Man the comments are depressing.

I feel like this is the first time we've seen Johnny actually furious.

Its great watching Last 4 Years Tonight.

Greetings from Germany: please hand over they keys to your nukes before this election goes through.

John Oliver has never said anything GOOD about Hillary ever he just falls into the category of "we just can't have trump" Last week tonight is not corrupted so I don't get why there be so many dislikes (everyone can agree America has shit candidates)

Having been outside of the United States during the 2016 election, I can assure you that not a single person I met understood what the heck was happening.

17:25 tells the story Bernie Bernie Bernie huh Hi-llary? LOL

Truly a terrible time to be an American. Good luck, USA.

I was watching the Mom's face, I can't even imagine how sad she felt at that moment reminded of her son.

Watching from 2019 is really depressing. The DNC is still gonna run on no substantive issues.

Woah! It's so weird that John Oliver mentioned Jackie Gleason and Brad Garret at 6:44, because Garret played him in "Gleason" back in 2002 I think, I saw the movie. Its such a random reference!

You're shitting about nighty Denmark?!? FEAR OUR HAPPINESS

Sure, the DNC had more balloons than the RNC, but the RNC balloons were Trump Balloons -- the finest, most terrific balloons, *_and_* they're exactly like Trump: full of hot air, very thin skinned, and a color you just don't see in nature.

That bit where Mr. Khan asked if Trump had ever been to Arlington Cemetery hits a while bunch different after the Trump presidency when he refused to go because it was raining.

I think this needs to be aired again...so profound and so revealing, even more today than when it first aired!

"I will gladly lend you my copy" HOLY SHIT THAT ROAST

Video on the DNC and we still spend 8mins talking about Trump. Well this video has no bias.

"It's Thursday, fool!" how the hell did that not get a bigger laugh

I’m no speech pathologist, but I am a trained singer… and if I’m not mistaken, I think President Biden might raise his voice so much when he’s speaking publicly because it’s a stutter control practice. You can’t stutter when you sing because of the placement and projection required. Mr. President, if that’s what you’re doing, that’s cool as heck!

Mrs. Obama's arms DO make me feel safe

Lmao all you guys complaining about bias, he isn't a fucking news source, he's a comedy show! How do you expect a comedy show to provide "fair and balanced" jokes of both sides when obviously the biggest joke is on the right? If you have a problem with his jokes, why watch him?

“...And it starts RIGHT NOW!!!!” Woooooooosh

Tim Kaine sounds like Bernie trying to quote Trump😂😂

"We may be on the brink of electing such a damaged, sociopathic narcissist that the simple presidential duty of comforting the families of fallen soldiers may actually be beyond his capabilities." Hello from the future. On behalf of Sgt. La David and Myesha Johnson, this is far too true.

trump: *I ALONE KNOW* 1 year later trump: *nobody knew it would be this complicated* everyone else: WE KNEW!!!!!

Wow, John’s anger at 14:50, I don’t know whether to laugh, applaud, feel angry as well, or be scared because of how angry he is

my stomach hurts from laughing during the compilation at the end. The guy swaying with his tongue hanging out! John Oliver, the work you and your crew put in to this show is purely good and compelling. Thank you! I feel like you read my mind while also expanding it. Only so many have their eyes open and see this hate that we're drowning in.

So much criticism of Trump but not a word about Hilllary's corruption...

Hey guys, I think that John Oliver is slightly biased towards Hillary Clinton.

I feel like I’m on a quest to remember all the events I forgot in the Great Before.

OMG it’s 3:15 am here in Australia and I am literally laying in bed laughing my ass off over and over and over again! you’re so funny Matey! My tummy hurts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 STOP, PLEASE, STOP ✋

When Trump says, he heard this.. or someone told him that... many people are saying this... a lot of people are writing... Trump is talking bout his Twitter page.

It seems the majority consensus is that Hillary may be bad, but it's completely canceled out by how much more horrible Trump is.

Just imagine if Bernie hadn't gotten screwed over in 2016. We'd have a competent president who wasn't getting impeached.

It's so refreshing to see somebody like John Oliver get so angry and upset but not become unclear or lose focus in the process.

Did he cover the DNC leaks at all?

I love how people are surprised Oliver is biased toward Hillary as if he hasn't been openly very liberal since forever.

Donald Trump is the definition of: “I have nothing to say, but I can’t seem to stop talking.”

All I see is the progress and beginnings of a new democratic party that will transform this country towards a brighter future. It starts with #Bernie2020

This is why I love John Oliver. Right there, at the end, when he is so honestly disgusted with DT and his lack of respect. You can hear how much he cares.

The end was hilarious, oh my

Watching this in 2021 hits different.

Seeing John's restrained and pure anger when calling Drumpf an a***ole makes me hope for america, that there are still human beings over there.

John Oliver is only 39? Really? 39??

14:50 felt SO good to hear, it must have been orgasmic to say outloud on TV. If John Oliver didn't exist, we would need him so bad.

Anybody else astounded that John is only 39 on this video!?

lol, Murica's blind patriotism and mindless, unfounded overconfidence never fail to amuse.

The US once believed to be the best nation in the world: well, this is what they brought to themselves. Hubris always comes with downfall. Sad for those wise-minded americans that will be dragged in that.

People outside the US don't know why Sanders wasn't on the ticket. It's sad having to explain that to my European friends.

"theyve lived through one international humiliation after another, one after another" -Donald Trump, presumably but accurately talking about his presidency

8:27 The RNC in 2020 had a very common theme with the 2016 RNC: the theme of the convention was Trump, Trump, Trump. With the DNC, there was something like Hope and Love.

Holy fuck, equating the sacrifice of a soldier dead in a war with staying at home in a suit doing business. How callous can one get?

I have never imagined politicians could be this funny

That gator @1:43 is the best thing I've seen in a long time, hilarious, and so appropriate for Florida

This show is absolutely amazing. It is fair and shows both sides to the extent that it shows the arguments of everyone and shows why one side is right and where that side IS sometimes wrong. The problem is that anyone who doesn't agree with him will instantly discredit him for numerous reasons like he is a comedy show/ comedian or that they think he is lying. NO ONE LISTENS ANYMORE!

You know looking back....I really wanna live in Denmark.

Why don't you go for third party candidates america? Goddammit. For what it looks like a very good percentage of american citizens dislike Trump AND Hillary, so why vote for them? You're just dooming the next 4 years for a shitty presidency this way.

Say what you want, but the part with the Goldstar speech always gives me goosebumps and i'm not even american!

1:30 As a Florida native, this makes me weirdly proud. XD
