Again and again thank you for making all these episodes free for everyone
What changed their mind to post whole episodes? They just recently started doing it. It was always some random youtube accounts that uploaded full episodes.
It's not just that they're free, but they are on time. I have Max and sometimes the episode would only get uploaded on Wednesday
@@baby_capybara3they are posting them not for everyone, but only for those, who live in countries where you cannot buy an HBO subscription. For those who live in the US those videos are supposed to be regional locked
@baby_capybara they talk about it in a special episode, it's some agreement they got with HBO.
I can't see them at all in Australia, but I found a great free VPN. Japan gets full episodes, but the US, Netherlands and Romania (the other 3 free server locations) get the half show.
Great show, but it is ridiculous that the US have no universal health care system, like, what are you guys doing?
Is the country of capitalism, why would they have universal health care system when you can complicated the system by adding third party companies
Maintaining a trillion dollar a year military
Finding ways to hoard more money in the top 1% as usual.
That’s where the rest of the world is slowly heading as well, so in a way, the US was ahead of their times.
not only are we not going to implement universal health care, we’re outsourcing this system to other countries too. greece is just about ready to privatize their barely functional universal health care. There’s a LOT of money being made on people’s lives in the US.
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 !
Same in eastern Asia, cicada songs are essential to summer.
Yes. I live in Brazil and these little fellas are alright, the noise they generated doesn't even compare to the rest of the urban noises. They're fine, muricans, and they're not even that ugly (up close It obviously is, but this also holds true to butterflies and we all know that butterflies are, at absolute very least, very pretty, but if you decide to look then close you'll probably have nightmares for the entire week).
Same in central and northen Argentina.
Same in Costa Rica. It's the sound of summer.
Exactly! We LOVE cicadas in France! (Enfin sauf La Fontaine 😉
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 😂😂😂
Honestly... Yeah 😅😅😂
I don't understand why Republicans want to use so much money on a border wall when they can just subtitle this show and offer it to Latin American channels.
Yep, its crazy how much bureacy that system is. Every year you haft to fill out forms? The only thing you haft do in Denmark is have your yellow card renewed if you change doctor. That is the only exspense. Of course private healthcare is huge in Denmark as well. People with a lot of money can buy better care. So there is a lot of imbalance sadly.
Let's be honest, the US ain't a country to begin with. A bunch of states losely bound by a pseudoconstitution they get to violate each on their own... EU is more of a country than the US.
How be best country in tHe world with worst health public service? Usa worst than Brazil 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Jamaican fan of this show, I can confirm that that was not Reggae Music 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😂😂😂
I think that if he is a Republican, the only way he likes Reggae is on mute. You can't take the message from the Reggae.
@@drakonyanazkar ikr, they listen too close, they might think Bob Marley was a communist 🤣
Get Universal Healthcare! (Like all other civilized countries)
That's socialism. US can't have that, or else they will "REEE"
That's a no for USA then
Legal weapons plus lack of universal health care are a good combo💀
What, other 'uncivilised' countries don't have universal healthcare? Everyone must have it!
When was the US ever civilized?
Amber was great in the PSA 😂😂😂
Medicare for all, AND get rid of lobbyists. Big pharma makes decent money in Europe !
Decent money? They make good profit. They just can't get as outaregous profits as in US because in EU states negotiate drug prices instead of individual healthcare providers or insurance companies.
@@jokuvaan5175yeah that's my point... :-)
There's an aspect here that i feel a lot of US Americans miss. "Big Pharma" is not just US American - in other countries we just negotiate prices and make them pay texes. Ironically, as someone from Denmark Big Pharma helps pay for my universal healthcare. The biggest pharma company in the world is Danish and they make their money off products such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which you pay a lot for in USA, then that money goes into the danish business which then pays 22% tax to the danish government. As a Dane I should be rooting for republicans to have power, but I'm not a selfish A hole.
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404 Honestly, it might not even turn out worse for Novo Nordic if universal healthcare comes to the US, some prices might be negotiated downwards but there might become a wider customer base to sell that medicine to.
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404Dane here as well, I used to root for the US to get universal healthcare, but having witnessed more than 2 decades of them insisting on becoming dumber and dumber I really dont care anymore, im sorry, but cynism sets in eventual, i think its a cobing mechanism on my part.
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 😅
Thanks John for the free episodes readily avalible for everyone. It is a valued public service.
At least Amber got to say "I agree with the coconut" . A win for humanity
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.
I left about a year and a half ago for similar reasons. I’m much happier paying more taxes and not have to worry about getting sick and having better workplace protections
I’m seriously considering moving out of US / PR bc of the healthcare shitcake we’re served with. Turning 40 this Friday and I really want to figure out my long term plans of where to live and have a more well rounded life
You all did the right thing by getting the hell out of that hell hole country. I wish you all the best 👍
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
THANKI YOU FROM SERBIA🇷🇸 FOR UPLOADING THIS FULL EPISODE FOR FREE!!! ❤❤❤
Watching this from France and it seems KZhead 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.

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

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
Meanwhile here in Brazil all I have to do is show a valid ID when I go to a public hospital. And that is the case even when I'm in another city or another state, all I ever had to do was fill up a form talking about my basic medical records (allergies, previous surgeries and diseases, etc) and that was just once because I went to a hospital in a very small city that wasn't connected to the national server yet so they didn't have access to my information.
Conservatives in the US have genuinely no idea how reality works. That's a lot of why this happens.
@@NankitaBR Unfortunately a lot of politicians and influencers are working hard to dismantle our SUS, and a lot of people are falling for their BS
@@NankitaBR Really, yet Brazil has claimed for centuries its indigenous 1-1/2 est'd population were extinct & who have never been "entitled" to any of the benefits you enjoy, have never had access to basic human service, neither medical, nor voting, no services or infrastructure of any kind including education, electric, running water ... you've saved a fortune... not providing those public benefits
"Amber says what?"😀
That was a nice surprise
Whaaaaat ?!
I was like, whaaaat, it's not Seth's show, since when they're shearing writers, or was Amber a loan 😅
@@chrissiek8706 Oliver was heaping praise on Amber's show the brief time it was on, so I think he's just a fan.
John: "Hey Seth! I need to borrow Amber" Seth: "Why?" John: "I need her to talk to fruits and veggies and then getting attacked by them" Seth: "Oh! Yeah that seems legit. Sure! 😊"
You think getting cicadas every decade or so is annoying. Imagine getting them every summer because you live in Japan 😂
And it's great :)
Same in Brazil.
Greek summer has them too. They're fine fellas, they don't hurt anyone.
They're noisy and I don't like them lol.
It’s the calming sound of summer here in Greece
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!
Let me make this very clear. In Eastern Europe corruption is illegal. In the US corruption is legal. Also, they ignore illegal corruption and point out at Eastern Europe and say Eastern Europe is corrupt when they ARE NOT BETTER.
“Haha, Mr. Peachy was My brother” 👿 “And you ate him last week”
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 🇰🇷
I live in Europe, but traveled with work to Korea a while back. I got sick, with high fever and severe vomiting one night. My friends there, drove me to a hospital and my first reaction was : WOW! This mall is a hospital? The best care I ever got
No way?! I'm from Phoenix and now I live in Seoul... This is flipping me out!
@@luuketaylor man!! What a small world! Haha
thank john for your journalism + comedy mix. love it. thanks.
Matt Gaetz has such a "kick me" face
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.
Careful, sounding a lot like universal healthcare there, buddy. And they dont like that around those parts
@@E2O10 what ew f that. It's just expanded Medicaid. Totally different. /s
But that would be like the no-no C word, and we know that's bad!
In the US the whole entire economical and political system is set up in a way that makes switching to universal healthcare/medicare for all near to impossible. I live in Finland. We have affordable public healthcare. That means our government pays for it when we get sick and therefore it has a vested interest in us staying healthy in the first place. What does that mean? Putting regulations in place to keep our water clean and the food good quality, among other things. But that cuts into the bottom line of companies. In a fully capitalist system which the US proudly declares itself to be, that isn't what the government does. Free markets and all that, you know. Here, the government benefits from a healthy population, in the USA there is no drawback for the government if the population is sick. And as long as those same companies who don't want regulations chewing on their profits keep showering the politicians with money that isn't going to change either. IF America was to suddenly switch over the cost would be MASSIVE because of the unhealthy citizens that have to then be taken care of (because companies have been allowed to stream roll riiight over everyone for decades and decades). And to lower that cost the populus would have to be made healthier, starting with the air they breathe, the food they eat, the water they drink (and the way they work, because that is a whole other can of worms). Do you see the incredible effort that would take? It is a systemic issue.
@@lemonielala3080 the current issue is that there is little to no negotiations on pricing. Nor is there a standard set of success measurements to tell a company "no your drug is so marginally different from the last it's not worth 5x the cost". There are plenty of ways for the government to make it affordable for them. Starting with the fact that a huge portion of medical bills will go unpaid even now. Meaning it's technically a profit loss for the facility, meaning it's a tax write off. There is always far more benefit to having a healthy housed population than there is to abandon the population to the vultures. It's just that people will say that they want the choice about paying for insurance... while there's others dying because the Financial risk of going to a hospital is too great. Not to mention the fact that companies can and will fire you for being sick. The government does spend more money restricting access to medicine than it is willing to spend to provide the medicine.
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!
My grandpa had multiple heart surgeries in Spain and a lot of my family members had multiple different surgeries in Brazil. Even "not developed countries" have public healthcare, because it is in the country's best interest for it's citizens to be in good health so they can continue to contribute to society.
@@NankitaBRYeah. Everytime I see those Americans pissing and moaning "why should I pay for someone else's healthcare"HOW can those people be so damn cold, heartless and unreasonable!? If you don't give a damn about your fellow man, why should they give a damn about you? Well, in Europe even if you didn't give a damn, someone WOULD give a damn about you. Because we're not horrible people" *Horrible people is hyperbole, I believe Americans are awesome people, just that their republicans have a toxic mindset towards anything universal.
@@NankitaBRThe problem is that conservatives in America are both religious zealots and not very bright, so they constantly preach that anything that could make people better able to do work is somehow evil because it makes people lazy, despite all evidence to the contrary. It's like thinking shouting at crops to grow faster and stop lazing about is the only fertilizer you need. Unfortunately, that's the wrong kind of bullshit.
@@NankitaBRlol so Spain is a third-world country now? 😂
@@AlesAmazigh I think you're a tweaker.
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 cute tomatillo in the end🤣🤣🤣❤️

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.
If I were the anchor, I would ask, "So you're not ok to go back to that time in your case, but you're ok to force women to go back to that time." Have to throw their hypocrisy directly back at their face.
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.
When my spouse first moved to the US the sound was hurting his ears for a while until he got use to it. I moved out of the US and it’s surprising how quite it is when in outside in the summer
Same! As kids here in Códoba, Argentina, we would go searching for empty husks after lunch in the summer days.
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.
The quagmire of hoops one has to jump through to get aid is a feature NOT a bug.
I'll be honest, I was expecting this to end in a Korean News 3D Animation style.
As a European i feel such releif watching most of these episodes... in times of hardship... I know it could always be worse.
They sure are trying hard to bring that shit over here as well. UK is shutting down NHS like there's no tomorrow. And the EU is a little slower but they sure are trying and lobbying.
@@ramilehti UK is like the bridge between US and Europe. I worked in the UK for a year several years ago and I gave up on having any medical care there and just got them whenever I came back in France. Just to get an appointment with a GP was needlessly complicated. So I agree, lobbyists are bringing Europe closer and closer to the US and I can see the effect on my own public services (education and health the most)

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?
Never thought I would feel sorry.. for cicadas
Thanks for making the entire episodes free here! I prefer watching on youtube ❤
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!
Thank you so much for making these full episodes available! Great to watch
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.
Amber Ruffin and Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll, AND Cecily Strong! What a winning cast for talking vegetables 😂
Jim Cramer's on air praise is the closest thing we have to watching the tape in The Ring. Incredible 😂😂😂
Probably the cutest tomatillo in history.
Thx for the full episode
Every time that someone says " it's about state rights" i remember the doobus goobus video about it

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 :)
Those were some of the voices of Bob's Burgers on the produce in the final sketch.
Thanks for the Weekly Heartbreak.. we need this :)
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.

Why does he begin every episode by slapping the table like a toddler excited to for their order of apple sauce
It's that music. Doesn't it make you want to do the same thing?
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.
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.
It's all about trapping people into bad and low income jobs. You'll take a lot of abuse for $7.5 an hour if your life literally depends on it. Work requirements are a great way to keep wages low and workers submissive.
Seriously Forever grateful for this
