I am there with you!!!!

@@ObamaTheHedgehog At least I actually laughed a bit at some parts here. Big Bang Theory is just abominable

He even pauses as if waiting for his usual audience to finish laughing... but they're not there. It's weird.

It should be more somber considering the context. Instead of helping each other we are fist fighting over toilet paper, fucking ridiculous

He needs to add a laugh track, even if it is cheesy.

yes, john is still a hero for soldering on, for us.

America threw all our coronavirus money at the top 10% to artificially inflate the stock market and it's slowly starting to go back down to reflect the real situation here in the states. The money didn't trickle down like Republicans have pretended it would for decades, it's only inflated CEO pockets.

I am not perfect. I am some hypocritical dumbass. But. People, smarter than I, say you can test how accurate a model is by, well, seeing how many of it's predictions come to pass. Not just Corona videos came true. Police brutality and murders are still happening to unarmed Black folks, 2 years after George Floyd's murder. Climate change models predicting the weather events. And if the trend continues? Then Plastics, authoritarianism, biodiversity death, more intense racial violence, droughts, floods, and many other terrible predictions could come to pass, if they haven't already. I'm a tad nervous, lol

I wouldn‘t say accurate. He said it will take weeks or months, but….. what can you say anymore about it. Think about the hamster. Think about the hamster. Happy thoughts. Happy hamster.

I know! I watched this on HBO and thought “shit this really is a UKposts news video”

It feels so awkward XD

Nubbie Wubbie Erin-Leigh Hoffman my late night show has had zero audience since 2004. Then again, had almost zero viewers. But I don’t quit. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/ppNnfI6lpIt5tJs.html

He needs Spongebob or Wii shop music in the background. Actually seeing a human face without jumpcuts or hearing the shows normal audience feels weird.

Nah! He's just spewing SOME MORE NEWS!!!

Word!

How bout Pelosi and Trump agreeing, that should illustrate the severity of the situation if nothing else does

It's not somber, it's regular John Oliver with out a reacting audience.

I love how he starts sounding a little like Matt Berry and got little out of breath.

That one got me too!

When you nearly fall out your chair laughing 😂😂😂

That look on his face xD he likes that thick corgy butt...

Thicc

dang you beat me to it

A "whoo girl" eh, Ted warned me about your kind.

Whoo!! Girl you are the best!

Less typing, more whooing! 😝

we need you now more than ever

lets be real we alrealy laugh enough with this alone

I know that had to be so hard for him. All of the late night shows are canceling obviously not just because of no audience, but that's a big factor. It's just dry trying to tell jokes without a response and I'm sure it was nerve wracking for John to do this. But I'm glad he did!

Unlike some people...

He's like a regular youtuber now

You know how he does it, though, right? He's part TikTok hamster.

his performance was good, the talking points were just bad, but i guess that happens when you just become a media puppet.

@@dinozorman what sort of talking points do you think he should have hit?

@@dinozorman please enlighten us what points he should've made instead.

I was waiting for this comment lol

Yepp never forget how long it took western governments to recommend everyone to wear masks...

That was for 2 reasons: 1. Mask shortages. 2. They hadn't discovered that it spread asymptomatically. ...well if I'm being honest, someone HAD discovered it spread asymptomatically (in Europe), but scientists didn't believe it initially. That skepticism backfired.

Oh good, someone else noticed and put it in better words then I ever could

Going to school with no teachers and only a couple of people at any time was weird. We had to collect our books and every single teacher was in a meeting so we kinda just went in there and grabbed it.

@law law People actually watch her show? lol

Arigadatred If you thought that was bad, go and watch the last WWE wresting hour. Jesus Chris it's bad.

Robots or maybe NPCs?

I much prefer it this way. No weird pauses to wait for the audience to finish laughing the hardest at the worst jokes

@@majorfallacy5926 Fair enough. Still, the silence makes the gravity of what he's saying feel that much more harrowing -- hearing those gut-busting guffaws from the audience helps to soften the blow a bit.

Also to HBO for making the entire show available on UKposts this week.

^

@@wecontrolthevideo Yeah, that was appreciated. I think we could all use a laugh right about now, don't you?

Who the fuck came up with your comment

Nice

UK are not far behind this!

Mexico says hi

We share a name 😊🙋‍♀️

what about Belgium. They have much more serious lockdown than almost all countries, were early on to react, masks are mandatory and yesterday they had 800% more infections than the US per capita.

Melhor piada!

That Kars for Kids commercial will take your life.

Especially with the white background

That’s an unsettling thought.

That's because you're expecting jokes - and the lack of canned-laughter, makes it impossible to tell where the punchlines of his weak jokes are. He is flailing his arms at Trump, listing the ONE of the two countries that has responded diligently to this crisis; Singapore and South Korea. Other than these TWO countries - NO GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD has responded with due diligence. If anything - Trump has actually done a LOT more than some countries (like Sweden... which has done sweet fuck-all... and is TO THIS DAY - forcing parents to send their children to school at the threat of going to jail/loosing custody). Trump is a pile of shit.... but compared to ALL the other piles of shit... this pile of shit at least floats. John Oliver will never even recognize this... this is what makes John Oliver a partisan hate-mongerer intent to tear the country down. For example: Why does a leader say that the markets are doing fine? Because people are stupid fucking herd-animals. If you say "they will go to shit" people will sell all their holdings and thereby ENSURING IT GOES TO SHIT!!! I am 100% certain John Oliver knows this - which makes John Oliver an evil person... not just a comedian, but actually evil.

It feels like I shouldn’t be laughing

I actually much prefer the show without audience laughter

The clear breaks for audience laughs that never come give me anxiety

He often does, but you haven't noticed.

Mee plesase

it practically is

It really, really does.

We have a militarized police force that is allowed to murder innocents without consequences, a prison system that uses non violent drug offenders for slave labor, a president that is in the pocket of a foreign government and is actively abusing the office to enrich himself and his businesses, a wage gap so large that a very small minority of people control the majority of the world’s wealth, a planet that is slowly dying from rampant unchecked pollution, and a virus that is rapidly spreading and killing people across the entire globe. The hypothetical dystopian future is now the literal dystopian present.

Welcome to the future.

more cuz of the content than the visuals tho tbh

Perhaps, it's the coronavirus? (And I will escort myself out of the comment section...)

We need some of that "2001: A Space Odyssey" atonal music.

@@ghettofridge Out of curiosity, why would you say that is?

I know this is 8 months later, but really i actually think you may be onto something. John is one of very few who covers the stories in such a clear cut, and human way. John covers stories that during the beginning, and even now when covid for many is at its worst, fell to the sidelines. Having such an informative, and simultaneously relievingly lighthearted(at points) form of media to see these stories from, works well to preserve them as something relevant historically speaking. If i were a historian going over this era in time, i would probably use the well sourced and all around well informed segments Last Week Tonight has put out through 2020 and now 2021
