You know it’s a great episode when there’s a Wikipedia article underneath the title.
Yup. Demonetized episodes have no commercials!
Wtf are you talking about...?
@@KalmoK I don't know about mobile version, but in desktop there is a wikipedia page explaining about Armenian Genocide
Edit : the page is right below the video
I clicked on a video about fashion, and now I'm learning about the Armenian genocide...
@@NoRezosI can confirm the mobile version as the Wikipedia article
I love having so many options for why I want to be sad today
The fashion portion can be replayed in 2024. Temu, etc. has made fast fashion and exploitation even worst.
*worse
Yup. Plus Shein, H&M, and probably so many more.
yeah. shit. fast fashion has been around 10ish years now blegh
fuck Temu specifically, in which all products come from the exact area where there are Uyghur "reeducation camps". You should know exactly who makes Temu stuff.
don't forget shein and the tiktok shop
Eliot’s eyebrow work is impeccable
Right!!!😍❤️. What an adorable cutie of a little girl❤️❤️❤️
So many people say the word “genocide” is overused. No, we just have A LOT of them going on in a ducked up world. You can’t just change the definition of genocide because you don’t like hearing about Sudan, The Congo, Palestine, Myanmar, and so much more. There’s a 9 step definition of genocide that ENDS with mass killing making it official. And the mass killing part is the main part being used and to prove it in international law alongside discrimination akin to apartheid in South Africa.
But we all should remember that genocides don’t just appear, so much happens before to lead up to them before we can call it a genocide. And the fact that we can call it that legally is a problem. So many signals were missed, ignored, or encouraged to cause this level of suffering.
Well said.
10 step definition of genocide now. Also, 'fun' fact, right now we have about 7 of those steps right here in America. We have skipped step 7 and gone to step 8.
Hey man, sloths can move faster than you think, especially when they feel threatened, and they have MASSIVE claws. Don't confuse "chill" for "not dangerous". They also only come down from the canopy once a week, to poop - that's unrelated, but it is interesting and I thought you should know.
So true. I love animal facts.
Maybe it's another show here on YT, but someone was talking about how sloths frequently "crimp" peoples fingers and arms ect. They have so much force per square inch in their claws they can break your finger like a delicious carrot!! People have to be very careful handling sloths, if they start the action to hold onto your finger because it *might* resemble a stick to the slow fuzzy brain, they won't stop the action because it's so much effort. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" is sloth philosophy when it comes to energy. They try their damndest to complete their task.
Care takers have to be careful, similar to constricting snake handlers. If a sloth wanted to they can choke you out by wrapping their arm around your neck and trying to hang like on a tree. The strong grip can make you pass out if they crimp the right spot of your neck just trying to climb on you
I love fuzzy animals that are more dangerous than they seem💛
Oh yeah... Of course... The deadly, deadly sloth. Who among us doesn't remember the terrible stories of sloths slaughtering... Lmao
Tbf, an adrenaline rush will make a lot of animals move faster than usual
@@TheOriginalKazooMaster "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" is sloth philosophy and why they climb down to poop. They know their poop won't miss the branches on the way down, and will stink up where they live like the GOP house in DC..
You guys should update this to 2024 version with Temu, Shein and other ultra fast fashion brands.
Again... John Oliver and his staff are absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Climate Town just did a video on fast fashion. They tried to find ethical shirt makers so they could sell some $wag, but they literally couldn't find them.
And Jon mentioned that fast fashion was a known issue back in the 90s too.
They found one in the US :) But yeah, almost all commercial stores do this. And I've heard that if they'd stop this, Bangladesh would lose a large portion of it's GDP... It's a wicked world.
Rana plaza incident felt like a fever dream. The news that day was horrific to watch, so many alive people stuck under rubble.
Many fire service workers put incredible effort to save lives. They had to drag people under the building, sawing body parts.
Many of them resigned from their jobs. One of the volunteers that day committed suicide on 2019 from the depression.
💔💔💔
And if you watch pretty much any documentary on the situation it gets even more infuriating. IIRC "Plainly Difficult" and "Fascinating Horror" YT channels both do a good job covering it, I'm sure there are longer ones as well.
Anyone else hear "I don't know" and immediately think of richard sackler 🤣
12:22
_Iiiii duuunnooooo_ 😂
I assume the Obama bit was him saying "You already know what I think, but my job doesn't allow me to use certain terms for the sake of foreign relations." That is totally understandable to me.
If somebody refused to acknowledge the Holocaust because of their job, you'd start questioning their moral integrity.
@@DragonbIaze052 Maybe, but it depends on what their job is, and the consequences of being honest. It's easy for you to write the sentence you just wrote, but what if millions of people were negatively affected by that same comment you just made? Even if you believe it to be right, would you have been able to write the comment so easily? And, just to be clear, we are talking about people who already have it rough, suddenly having more burdens and dangers placed upon them by your comment, not happy healthy Americans who would simply have to sacrifice some sort of convenience.
@@DragonbIaze052 If you seriously think that Obama is "morally compromised" simply for understanding that his words carry more weight than yours, then you're ignorant of how complicated real life is. Real life is not black and white, you don't always get to choose between a clearly "good/safe" option, and a "bad/dangerous" option. Unfortunately, sometimes, as with Obama's situation, you only have the option to decide between the lesser of two evils.
@@moogle68 Obama's words do carry more weight than mine, and he chose to do nothing with it. He spoke up against dozens of other things during his time in office, even passively intervening in a debate about the state-recognized name of a mountain. He then offered no pressure at all against Turkey. The President of the United States of America is a title that holds more diplomatic pressure on the world stage than basically any other, and he used it to implicitly reinforce genocide denial by avoiding the topic.
And no, I think he's morally compromised because he approved more drone strikes than any other president, with little tactical information and a flagrant disregard for life, leading to countless civilian casualties he never seemed to care about.
Really great work the Last Week Tonight put into this episode, shoutout to Elliot at the end
System of a Downs concert in Yerevan commemorating this is a spiritual experience , that you can watch anytime ad-free on youtube, I highly recommend it. Not alot of bands who were active for like 8 years and havent made an album since 2005 who can do what they do with their relatively small discography.
If you like them at all i highly recommend watching that concert at least once.
Serj Tankian is as wonderful as David Draiman is disappointing.
I remember watching that; there was this wonderful moment where a lightning bolt came down, perfectly timed to punctuate a dramatic moment in the music. That performance really hits something deep inside.
I've loved System of a Down since the first time I listened to "Toxicity " . Then I proceeded to adore them once I found out how diligently they worked towards having the Armenian genocide mentioned in history books and acknowledged by Turkey. ( Not to mention the tremendous effort Axis of Justice made towards fighting social injustices.) And yes, the concert in Yerevan is remarkable.
@@jacobjohnson8686 yeah that concert is so good, i play it at least once a week to motivate myself in the morning while working. I've watched many of their live performances but that was the most complete, the best sound out of them since their heyday, and the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the crowd - with those 3 interludes that were well done and informative.
I even decided to get a guitar and learn to play a bit because of that concert.... im not good but i can at least resemble some of the riffs, lol.
I'm not sure if its a good or bad thing that they stopped making new music when they did, because I do believe that if a team isnt functioning optimally , or theres negativity surrounding them, it'll affect the creative process and their pretty pristine discography may be affected on an overall basis, but they really could have gone on to be maybe the only band that plays anything like their kind of music with the staying power to have lasted this long.
Well i guessed wrong on what the headline about "the new zealand PM, a pony tail, and Pinot noir" was gonna be about...
As a Kiwi, I find John's take on NZ hilarious although his attempt to do the accent is clearly Australian.
Real Mexican flautas are surprisingly cheap, less than 10 dlls a dozen, as long as the tortillas are made locally. Just sharing for those culinary tourist visiting Mexico.
TT i would consider 1.75 a flauta to be kind of expensive, and that’s from someone living relatively close to where this show is shot (and presumably where those flautas were sourced)
I refused to believe fashion executives are the richest people in the world and then I looked it up and
sure enough, the Luis Vuitton CEO is currently at #1. Outriching even Amazon and Elon. Genuinely, what.
Holy cow. Imagine that. And they contribute exactly nothing to society. As many issues as they have at least Elon and Jeff have changed the world.
@@tanman99 Changed the world for the worse, maybe.
The fact we able to rewatch so many episodes is the reason they must work hard on update episodes of dozens of episodes in the past. He can condense them into 2 for 1s if he don't want that much overtime work.
Feeling strange seeing a shot of Rudy Giuliani before he’s weird
And Dr. Oz when he was only medically weird
Cameron's "clear and concise plan" is the single funniest line in this episode
That fucking eyebrow wiggle at the end makes me wheeze.
The child model at the end was the best actor and model and best part of this episode.
11:42 Is it the MOST annoying thing, to answer your own questions? I think: Yes! Aaaaaaaaaaarggghhh...
Remember when leaders weren’t respectable for simply touching others’ hair…ah the good old days
Just imagine the confusion of that sloth 😂
15:12 This is one of my favourite jokes lol. "Inexpensive DVD!" - raves Variety
I wonder if people in those foreign offices actually ate the food.
At least they wuz warned... 😉🤣🤣
Controversial john oliver episodes my favorite
I like the gap style. It’s real evil villain like. “how do we decrease overhead while remaining as evil as Possible”
Why controversial?
@@KurenaiNanashi The Armenian genocide
@@useeer7271 What's controversial about it? Unless you're Turkey pretending it never happened and anyways Armenians did it to themselves, or Israel who for some reason wants to privatize the term itself.
Absolute legend! This guy never misses
Maybe I'm not hip, but all of the clothes seen here could work 10 years ago, 5 years ago, right now, and likely 10 years into the future. Do people really judge others by the style of their clothes that precisely?
Not most people. Maybe there are some. But then they're judging all of the rest of us equally. ;)
"Dr" Oz 🤯🤣😊😊
The one time youtube showing me an ad for Temu would have been appropriate. Just how do you get those cargo short prices so low, Temu? How do you do that?
Sufficed to say over the last 10 years e-commerce just injected 40cc's of caffeine into the problem and even just the idea of media (traditional/social) stopping for a moment to be outraged at international labor violations seems tragically quaint.
27:57 I know 7-11 taquitos when I see em
That "sloth rangler" bit took me out XD
High School Teacher here is there any way you could post a censured version I can show in school?
Maybe you can download the episode and do the censors yourself? But since it's a highschool I think the episode is more than age appropriate.
I had to pause this to say, during the fashion segment I was really hoping it was going to flash over to the African countries that take in our clothing waste under the presumption that they are second hand and can be resold however they have literal mountains of waste clothing.
yup
The irony of making fun of 20 something year olds wearing plaid while you are also wearing plaid is definitely not lost on me.
That’s not plaid. That’s check
we all love that DIY show, thats sells us lots of tools, but though its called "The DIY Show", no one expects DIY information there, it's just a show!.
The shrimp and salmon pastry is listed as $46, H&M got spoiled.
It's less that it was cheap and more that it was cheaper than it should be. That was 5 seafood dinners for $46 total. That's about $9 per person for shrimp and salmon. Also, it's going to be a day old at least by the time it's delivered, and it's having to be flown all the way from New York to Sweden.
@@DragonbIaze052 I mean, technically one could claim OP's not WRONG. H&M got spoiled... seafood.
and shein or temu weren't even a thing back then
Systematically clapped Dr. Oz 😂
Too funny 😂
As of 6/13/24 a 12oz jar of Fluker’s Orange Cube is $12.99 at PetStore.
The world before covid, what a place.
Episode
It's like, if your job is to entertain, and another's is to navigate world politics
Oz is a joke. my brother is a well respected doctor, and told me Oz should lose his license to practice medicine.
But Oz isn't a doctor anymore. Nowadays, he is a entertainer. So long as he isn't seeing patients anymore, and is focusing on selling products on TV, it is not that big a issue. Although I don't really object to him losing his license either
It should be Wizard of OZ, not Dr.
Wait, how is Katherine Heigl horrible?
I lol at the Paltrow jokes cuz goop, but don't know about Katie.
She had a reputation at that time for being like, difficult to work with, that in retrospect was probably somewhat unfair.
I think it was saying her acting/role on Grey's Anatomy was bad?
@@DragonbIaze052As the show went on, Heigl was accused of being difficult to work with on the set of Grey’s Anatomy, because she bad-mouthed the show and complained about objectionable working hours. So her character was written off the show rather than the rest of the cast and the crew having to deal with her allegedly diva-like behaviour. She has her own version of why she had a falling out with showrunner Shonda Rhimes (and with Judd Apatow, her boss for the successful crass comedy film ‘Knocked Up’ in which she played the lead), but it’s likely there were regrettable actions on all of their parts. When it comes to the television and movie industry, most people prefer to believe the worst of actors, especially ones who are quite successful and recognizable.
and he thought this was a tough year for Dr. Oz, but he only went on to take even more Ls.
Tbf to the clothing companies even if they tried to stamp out any bad practices it feels like they're playing a game of whack a mole.
I feel like they had better writers back then
Well, all that shit should be made here
1:33 We can’t call it a genocide unless we consider mass murder of Indigenous Americans genocide as well.
It was. White Americans were seriously trying to, if not exterminate indigenous communities wholesale, wipe out their cultures via "reeducation" and assimilation policies.
They both are
That was a long-term, organized, deliberate attempt to displace and kill an entire population based on ethnicity. It was a genocide. The fuck kind of argument is this?
It was. They’ve gotten away with not calling it genocide for so long because there were so many, many small indigenous tribes that North American settlers mass murdered, and not enough of them survived to provide a loud and powerful enough united front to raise the issue, nor do they grab enough media attention to raise the alarm to our collective awareness. We’re very adept at pretending the evil done in the name of land grabbing didn’t even happen.
I feel wrong after hearing that attempt at new zelandish
one of these is not like the other
I wanna eat that cheap food so bad
Watching this again in 2024 makes me sad. Things have gotten so much worse than fast fashion lol .. with ultra fast fashion like Shien and Temu trending now.
2:40 It's almost like...that's US foreign policy in a nutshell. Anyone but US and its allies do bad thing, US inflates it as much as possible and screams bloody murder until there's accountability (and probably more, because obviously), but US and its allies do bad thing and it didn't happen, okay it did, but it wasn't that bad, okay it was bad, but we're doing it for the right reasons, okay we did it for all the wrong reasons, but you're anti-American/unpatriotic/anti-Semitic/etc, and do you condemn Hamas.
Well , you are all those things
This whole feature is why I don't spend much money on everyday normal clothes and spend more on my cosplay costumes. I can always wear my cosplay costumes at an anime convention knowing that an adult has made my costume. If I want to get my everyday normal clothes, I go to a bundle shop. Hasan Minhaj talked about the real benefit of it in his Patriot Act show, and also on an episode about fashion.
Ah things change, things stay the same, and actually it's worse because Obama not only won't say the word genocide he won't even really acknowledge anything is happening.
The Katherine Heigl joke aged so poorly
You mean well?
@@donovanlocust1106 no
I don't get it, never watched Grey's Anatomy. I only remember her from Knocked Up and thought she was great in it.
@@cestlaami yes. Cope
John, your a decendant of the british empire!
good though we were at administration, even we, the British! coulden't hold down the fort, what chance dose GAP have, up side? providing employment?
*Conjectures on Good and Evil*
Evil sleeps but never dies.
Throughout history people have grappled with the concept of good and evil but largely these definitions are muddled and inconsistent. What is the true difference between good and evil? How will a clearer understanding give us perspective into things like the Apocalypse and Armageddon? In order to understand good and evil we must present them in as simple of a definition as possible. It is my contention that good and evil are like the metaphors of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in their most basic understandings.
1. Good is an aspect of living and life, but also an aspect of ignorance.
2. That evil is an aspect of truth and knowledge, but also a perversity of life and living.
Why did God decree that Adam and Eve would surely die if they ate of the Tree of Knowledge?
God judged the possibility of Adam and Eve's conquest into the realm of evil and the truth and deemed them unfit for competitive definitions. This possibility is intertwined with the complex notion that as one fails in an overall picture, especially of the true meaning of life, that one becomes more prone to flight and also violence. One, as they fail, is "set to ride" so to speak for their last stand before falling to a lesser place. This can help us understand the true meaning of both the Apocalypse and of Armageddon.

Just horrible the us market industry is
pulling the pony tail? not a practical joke at all, it's a sexual thing, come on. did anyone went to check the content of his computer?
so he ca call something a genocide ... just not whats happening in the world now? interesting
You're talking about Ukraine or Gaza? Because the former is real while the latter is fictional.
@@jlev1028 There isnt a genocide happening in Ukraine though but there 100% is one happening in Gaza, so im assuming you got former and latter mixed up.
@muhammadabdel1201 Only a Russian propagandist would believe that crap. Mass civilian graves have been found, cultural artifacts have been destroyed, soldiers are abducting children and sending them east to be "reeducated", Putin literally denies the existence of a Ukrainian people. If that's not genocide, I don't know what is.
@@muhammadabdel1201Only a Russian propagandist would believe that. There have been mass civilian Graves uncovered, cultural artifacts are destroyed every day, soldiers have been abducting children and relocating them east to be "reeducated",Putin has literally denied the existence of a Ukrainian people. If that's not the g-word (I have to censor it becayse of CZcams's dumb algorithm), I don't know what is.
@muhammadabdel1201 no he hasn't "Muhammad"
My timeline tho.
before Gaza this was the only social issue any of those idiots talked about
make a video about tea farmers. they are much worse
1st😮
Personally I cannot guarantee that children are not putting images on my shirts we can only hope that adults are working in China
what about native American Genocide?
Fun fact: John Cheese is the old northern American/French Native aboriginal term for white men from Europe; which eventually evolved into, "Yan Cheese" that became "Yankees".
take my seed
