Props to John for calling himself out sometimes too
In his defense he was British at the time...
Omg thank you so much. The old epsideo had weird audio popping issues, but this doesnt.
is it on some particular time points of the original video or the whole video? i didn't notice any difference
I KNOW RIGHT??? It's one of my favorite episodes, but I couldn't watch the old video because that clicking noise drove me bonkers.
Would love to see LWT update this episode with today's version of MLM - there are a ton of influencers who post lavish lifestyles, luxury travels and proclaim they are multi-millionaires in under 2 years, and are convincing others to quit their 9-5. But to me, they are quite shady on the how and what they actually sell. You will never get anything specific about what they're actually selling and how they're making profits. Some terms/things these influencers say: DWA, master resell rights opportunity, create your own digital product, resell the course for 100% profit over and over again.
Maybe this is a legitimate business, and I just don't understand how social media works nowadays. But it smells off and it would be great for John Oliver to educate us all!
Don't worry, it's absolutely NOT a legitimate business.
Day 2 of asking for a supercut of every time John says "holy shit!" after a clip he's shown 😂😂😂
Holy shit!
8 years later and here we are
"I hope this person's not a nazi..."
@TurtlesOnIce You hope which person's not a nazi? I took their comment to make a comparison to where we were in politics in 2016 & where we are now.
in hell
Genuinely, this segment gave me the background to realize that someone was trying to get me into a MLM and honestly I owe John Oliver my life now
I remember seeing the Herbalife plug in La Fea Mas Bella when I was young and it was cringing them just as it is today.
1 thing that I wished John had said or at least did an extra segment on MLMs was how they market themselves heavily in low-income communities and how low-income people get screwed way more by MLMs but have no way to get any help.
It makes sense why they market to low income since their whole thing is becoming your own boss, making your own success, and climb the class ladder. Going for upper middle class households who probably already hold well paying white collar jobs isn't going too many tugs on the fish hook.
What LWT does is service to mankind. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I actually had learned about MLMs/Pyramid shemes some years ago from a drama/tradgedy/horror book I picked up at the library about a lady who got trapped in one. I can't remember the title now, and it never said MLM or pyramid scheme by name. Then I started seeing this stuff and it all seemed in the real world and it was all too eerily similar
Alright, John Oliver and Last Week Tonight crew.
I think I successfully left a comment on each of your Season 3 videos since you uploaded them all at once.
Always nice to try to support and see small channels grow.
"Multilevel Marketing" is just a fancy way of saying "Pyramid Scheme" without a doubt.
Do we know if Beyonce saw this? 😂😂😂
Well, this was a depressing beginning.
38:59 get a look at those failed handshakes. I’m so sorry John.
To anyone planning to watch these in chronological order who stumbles on this comment, I did put a playlist on my channel starting from Season 1 up to Season 3. Hopefully, they have someone go in and fix the order at some point. That includes you, John.
Thank you!
I’m guessing the problem is their intern decided to upload them all at the same time, hence the random order. I’ve done it before.
@@TheJonnyEnglish I thought the same thing but all three seasons have dropped like that and haven't been changed.
They are in reverse order in the official playlists which is annoying
@@pheebo42 Yeah, that's why I made the playlist and the comments to try to boost it to them, but who knows since they have 10 million subscribers if they'll ever do anything about it.
Awww, remember the simple times before 2016. When neither John Oliver nor any of us had any idea what was coming? If only we could go back.
4:58 missed seeing this segment a lot
Thank you for another full episode from the back catalogue from an active HBO customer. 🧡💛🧡
>Uvalde
Good god.
I heard that too
12:32.... Lol
All the convicted felon Tweetle Dumb stuff is still applicable .
that awkward beyonce greeting
These issues being repeated at this present time couldn't be more poignant. If we'd only known then that this nightmarish ghoul and his sycophantic lackeys would actually try to destroy democracy... and maybe even succeed. holy shit, this is insane.
The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once).
They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public
King of the Hill, Bill of Sales, 3/11/2000....
Didnt Peggy get into another MLM in like season 10 or something, selling kitchen ware?
Reminiscing over these 8-year-old episodes, I like how the "And Now..." rubric often had as its theme "How is THIS still a thing?..." It took more thought to produce those pieces than pasting together clips of some news anchor repeating the same phrase over and over.
Could you do an updated episode going in depth with Cydcor?
I know 3 people who sell Farmasi. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Oh god, I don't remember that on La Fea Más Bella 🤦♀️ or maybe because my Spanish wasn't good enough and I thought she was really excited about her tea
Just realized John Oliver was the reason why Cleveland lost the 2016 World Series
Wrong, it was Back to the Future II.
Dank
I found two Herbalife nutrition spots in the greater Austin area. There’s one in South West Austin and one in Kyle.
as a Scottish nationalist that rosa parks sat quote from hillary is inspiring for me though my version begins with winnie ewing sat, reflecting her 1967 win of the hamilton by-election where she won the first SNP seat iin westminster.
I can't believe at this time this reupload only has a few comments and a few hundred views, John.
It's almost like people don't want to be reminded about what happened in November of 2016, John.
John, why did you will Trump to win the presidency AND the Cubs to a World Series?
I am saddened by this reminder, John.
I have always tried to post the Spanish version of the video every time I see someone trying to do their MLM business anywhere.
a job is where you get paid, it's not where you pay

29:30 Asi es, bien dicho.
And you was spectacularly wrong again..God damn it John..wtf was we thinking.
Omfg shout out lion king 2 best movie ever
Wow, pyramid schemes are bad?
It's funny watching this in 2024 😅😭
Im just laughing about all these episodes taking up my feed
kislux You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much.
what did that dinosaur say about UVALDE!?
HE PREDICTED THE SHOOTING
First
2 comments and 307 views in one hour??? This actor who played a drunk psychiatrist on the hit sitcom community, featuring Joel McHale, fell off
Looks like by choosing to upload them all at once, somebody pulled a Britta.
@@Enjoyurble 😂😂🤣
