Again and again thank you for making all these episodes free for everyone

Great show, but it is ridiculous that the US have no universal health care system, like, what are you guys doing?

As a French, every time I think of cicadas I think about summer in the south having a nap time under a tree. Those little guys rock and they are excellent food for the entire food chain !

John Oliver’s videos is the reason why I laugh out loud every fucking time I hear Americans say USA is the best country on Earth 😂😂😂

As a Jamaican fan of this show, I can confirm that that was not Reggae Music 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😂😂😂

Get Universal Healthcare! (Like all other civilized countries)

Medicare for all, AND get rid of lobbyists. Big pharma makes decent money in Europe !

South Korean voter here- Those graphics are actually quite annoying because they make gas-bag politicians look pretty cool.. At least watching the results isn’t boring 😅

Amber was great in the PSA 😂😂😂

Thanks John for the free episodes readily avalible for everyone. It is a valued public service.

I left usa 3 years ago because of exactly this. I can't believe now that I lived in that nightmare for so much time. never, ever again.

At least Amber got to say "I agree with the coconut" . A win for humanity

Seeing these full episodes makes me enjoy the excited slams he gives in the beginning. It's contagious and if i ever got a show like his, i'd do it too :D

Watching this from France and it seems UKposts France or the Public Services thought it was necessary to pin on this video a message from the public service official website essentially saying "Information on voluntary abortion. A pregnant woman, including a minor, who does not wish to continue a pregnancy may request an abortion. The practice of abortion is regulated and several steps must be followed before and after the procedure. During the consultation, the pregnant woman must be informed of the abortion methods available and has the right to choose one of them freely, depending on the term of the pregnancy. Here's what you need to know." There is a link to the website where you can indeed find all you need to know about your rights. I'm glad they did. I don't know where America is going but it's frightening even from here.

There is a simple moral dilemma that you can ask yourself: would you kill a group of 1,000 people because you know for a FACT that one of them is a criminal? What about 10,000 people with a single criminal? What about a million people with a single criminal? Frankly, if you answered "yes" to any of these, you should not be in charge of anything whatsoever. The fear of someone is "gaming the system" is unfounded. It is like Nixon's "homelessness by choice" - complete nonsense that pins the blame on the victims. The medicaid system is so miserable. In 2020, due to COVID, the ability to go in-person to talk to someone to sign up or renew were all closed. Most of them are still closed. So I had no option other than to fill out all the forms, attach all the relevant documents and drop them off at designated area -> wait for weeks, call them and ask them how it is going, get told that I literally didn't check a single useless box on the form saying that I'm not a veteran, redo the entire thing and make triply sure that I didn't miss any useless boxes on the stupid form -> wait for a few more weeks and call them for updates, where they weren't happy with the bank statements and wanted more months -> so here I go again, doing it all over again, printing out almost a year of bank statements -> and finally, after waiting some more weeks, it's been like two months -> I finally got told "okay yeah, you did it properly." The system is so trash that it hurts to even think about. I have a few more months left before I go through it again... earlier if I get "unwinded." sigh

Jon Oliver you’re one of my favourite celebrities, so I hate to agree with you so wholeheartedly when I say that “resting budget analyst face” is 10000000 per cent accurate 😂😂😂😂😂

Keep it going John! I'm an 83-year old Brit , living overseas, and tired of sseeing so much BS on the screen. Your programmes with their satirical, spot-on humour are a breath of fresh air in today's media murk. Wish we could see more of you.

THANKI YOU FROM SERBIA🇷🇸 FOR UPLOADING THIS FULL EPISODE FOR FREE!!! ❤❤❤

Looks like Korea hired the animator from my bowling alley

this is so cool: The federal government pledges 1 dollar for every dollar spent by every state for healthcare and for some reason states decided to put for-profit businesses between the state and the constituents. Makes me feel good about living in Eastern Europe knowing that corruption is not just a poor country's game!

"Amber says what?"😀

14:30 Oh my God, that octopus is such an absolute throwback, It almost gave me a whiplash

"Stay informed or get eaten alive" is a fitting slogan for life 🤣

Cicadas are awesome. I went to Crete, Greece just before the pandemic. We heard them all the time. They were everywhere and their sounds basically made our soundtrack for the journey and let me tell you... When I came back home, I hated the quiet.

Its odd being from Arizona but now living in South Korea. Never went from laughing to utter disdain so fast in my laugh :/ so happy I live in Korea 🇰🇷

thank john for your journalism + comedy mix. love it. thanks.

My mother had a slipped discus in her vertebrae and required surgery. Our healthcare program, which was modeled after the 2010 ACA version, covered all the expenses and she didn't have to pay a single red cent. Do better, America!

Gotta love how they have a task force to track down people who are "abusing" medicade, being a net loss on the public, meanwhile the taskforce isn't going after all the businesses that ACTUALLY exploit the medicade stuff with false bills and what not.

The disparity in how different states handle Medicaid, especially in terms of eligibility, is indeed a cause for concern. There are many people who really need this assistance but get hindered due to administrative errors or confusion. It's a system that needs serious re-evaluation and improvement for the benefit of all citizens.

You think getting cicadas every decade or so is annoying. Imagine getting them every summer because you live in Japan 😂

Here's a wild thought. What if, everyone was elligible for medicaid? This way there is no one abusing it or gaming the system because there is no system to game.

To be honest, I don't think the CNN anchor was clueless, he just avoided saying it himself to not risk backlash from potentially saying something racist (or being understood as racist). The parallel with women's right to vote was safer since the point of the conversation was women's rights. Also, he probably knew that talking about that would make the guy take the hint and point it out himself. Still, for a country about freedom and progress, removing rights based on a law 160 years old speaks volumes.

“Haha, Mr. Peachy was My brother” 👿 “And you ate him last week”

The cute tomatillo in the end🤣🤣🤣❤️

I live in South Korea and the election results coverage has been cracking me up!

If there is a sound that I miss from my American home town, it is the sound of these cicadas. So many memories of finding and collecting their empty husks.

Matt Gaetz has such a "kick me" face

As a European i feel such releif watching most of these episodes... in times of hardship... I know it could always be worse.

my first move on monday for almost 10 years now, thanx john oliver !

first or something my weekly reminder that we live, indeed, in late stage capitalism

It never ceases to amaze me how the US keep finding new ways to funnel tax money into to for profit companies

Chile has private medical practice and a bunch of private health insurers, and, a public healthcare system called Fonasa (National Health Fund). You get a 7% discount in your salary/pension, and that's it. If you are unemployed or have a very low salary, you don't pay. If you work independently, you pay by yourself according to your income. That gives you attention in the public facilities and private ones working with agreements; there you pay according to your income level. If you have a low/no income, you get treatment only in public facilities - but if necessity arises, you might end up having a transplant for free. Mothers-to-be and young children have a dedicated system of healthcare. Fonasa is slow, inefficient, it has multiple deficiencies, but, boy, you are not subject to the mess of the American no-healthcare-system you have. Time for a real revolution?

...this show is pure gold

I love how these endings are consistently unhinged 😂👌🏼

The quagmire of hoops one has to jump through to get aid is a feature NOT a bug.

Posted just in time for my lunch break. Thank you!

not me eating an apple during the first segment only to think at the comercial, what have I done? :D

I honestly thought (and hoped) Stanley Tucci would replace John someway through the episode. 16:28

Gene as the butternut squash was chefs kiss

Thank you so much for making these full episodes available! Great to watch

Thank you again John for releasing and uploading the full episodes on the official channel, been watching the show in low res and the camera jumping and zooming in at random and had to watch it on unofficial channels on yt that got deleted a few hours later, now those unofficial channels ran out of business and views and this channel and vids get more views and exposure since they can stay up and they're not low res and zooming in and out at random and flipping the image and mirroring it to avoid the automatic copyright. The best remedy for piracy is always just to release it on the official channels to the public and the original source benefits from this as well because there's nothing to pirate so no leeching off views. Thank you John, very cool!

I love how the GOP wants to be rid of these.. AND they're against negotiating lower drug prices... It's what you'd do to someone you hate.

We Love You Jon For The Free Episodes

Thx for the full episode

Jim Cramer's on air praise is the closest thing we have to watching the tape in The Ring. Incredible 😂😂😂

What's wrong with cicadias, I like the sound they make, and they are not gross looking :( . I remember trying to find their husks when I was younger and thinking they were really interesting.

I just leaving this here: I was there when this episode was recorded and he is as awesome in person as he seems in videos :) and thanks for the crew for letting me, a visiting Hungarian tourist feel special and be there :)

Amber Ruffin and Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll, AND Cecily Strong! What a winning cast for talking vegetables 😂

Social responsibility is a myth in the US...and that's a sad thing.

Thanks for making the entire episodes free here! I prefer watching on youtube ❤

I'll be honest, I was expecting this to end in a Korean News 3D Animation style.

I was expecting Stanley Tucci to show up in the end credits with a Negroni

The sound of cicada to me means it's summer! Yes they're super loud but it's summer! Holidays, the beach, ice cream. Fills me with nostalgia.

Probably the cutest tomatillo in history.

every time i hear ANYTHING about the american "Healthcare System" all i can think is "how the fuck did you still not start a riot"

The multiple information blocks were great.💚💪🏽😁

Well done, Amber and the kid at the end! I didn't recognize all the voices at the end, but I think it was Cecily Strong as the orange and the ginger, and Fred Armisen as the tomatillo! Very fun!

I have seen my share of Korean parliament election graphics and I agree with Oliver; this is something every country should do

Those were some of the voices of Bob's Burgers on the produce in the final sketch.

I don't think it can be said enough, the people defrauding Medicaid the most are private clinics not patients. Maybe there's something wrong with private clinics not giving poor people and children healthcare.

Never thought I would feel sorry.. for cicadas

John Oliver, a man whose punchlines need a running start

Although in Russia we don’t have “true democracy” we still have true universal healthcare.

Every time that someone says " it's about state rights" i remember the doobus goobus video about it

The General Election Animated Graphic is from South Korean Terrestial TV SBS TV. And the Fact they are better getting attention than Cable News TV Proves something

17:00 if they claim her child wasn't born maybe she can claim that the bills aren't valid either since they couldn't be performed on an unborn

This was a good and needed ep! As always

Thanks for the Weekly Heartbreak.. we need this :)

wow this is early. very good and thank you!

Can't wait to see Commander alongside Biden featured on an episode of It's Me or the Dog, only for Victoria to tell Biden "it's not the dog, it's you"

"why should someone working full time have to give money to support someone who could work but chooses not to" I ask myself that every time i pay rent.

26:50 was really hoping for a Stewie Griffin reference 😅

Seriously Forever grateful for this

Love the full episodes. I’m here for it as it drops!

@9:47 that close up of John looking sad got to me.

I live in Japan now and I love the cicadas. Brings anime to real life.

Brilliant piece at the end. Well done!

Ooooooh, that explains why John's aged so much; Cramer has praised you! May you soon rest in peace, oh great Parrot!

Work requirements say so much about those who implement it: they wouldn't work at all if they weren't forced to. Outside of them, people actually do have dreams and work requirements are a great way to force them into a lifetime of underemployment.

Why a animated crying cicada (chicharra) broke my heart?! They are amazing. Each summer in Costa Rica is a sensory memory thanks to them!

Gotta love the Nick Kroll cameo here 🤣

The tomatillo 😂😂😂😂 and the ginger 😂😂😂

great show to watch on my lunch break

Tell me again why paying tax for Healthcare is worse than the private option?

How is it that the richest country in the world has the worst healtcare coverage even compared to third world country

7:04 lol that analogy was golden

awesome show, love you guys so much!

Great as usual. But I would like to see your response that Clarence did not accept the challenge.

That last vegetable reminded me of that guy from Pirates of Caribbean 2 with detachable head

Thank you for covering Medicaid problems. I haven't lived in the US in many years, but when I was there, I worked with people with servere disabilities who were on Medicaid. I remember how BS the paperwork was then.
