The Bugle is hosted this week by:
Andy Zaltzman
John Oliver
And produced by Chris Skinner. LISTEN TO BUSH'S BOARD GAME THING - Zábava
Technically, John is now officially "The American", and as such, should have recorded the entire show while riding a Jet Ski.
Who says he wasn't?
@@bobbyfeet2240 "The American" is a different guy who guested way back when John was still co-host
I see John Oliver, I click. Haven't been disappointed yet
I recently commented something similar, that parrot with glasses is a delight! 😂
Im with you
You have not come across his pornography career yet.
@@paulrice8358 that's what you think 😜
@@itzron22 BAHAHAHA
Ah the old logo featuring the quitter is back. Nice touch, Chris.
If only they had matched them up.
IT'S JOHNNY SHOWBIZ HIMSELF!!!!
Honestly I’m glad to see how John’s return confirms that the Bugle is alive and well. I wouldn’t want to substitute him with all the regulars since he left. I’m happy to see John and Andy together, it’s a lovely moment in this audio newspaper’s history. And it would be amazing if he could appear slightly more often than once every half a decade. But really, i love where the Bugle is at. I think it has become better.
Nobody makes Andy giggle like Jon does.
I never heard of the Bugle. I love John Oliver. This ended up in my feed. I'm thankful. Watching on Christmas Eve and enjoying myself.
Same here, never heard of the Bugle but thought I would give this a watch, so glad I did.
It's our Christmas gift, and frankly, I've had far worse.
@@Jezza819 When John was in the UK. The bugle was a long running podcast he was part of. The irony it was originally part of one of the newspaper that news corp owns.
You have an awesome archive to go enjoy - lucky you!
Listen to the old shows
Speaking as someone who discovered The Bugle roughly 8 years ago and went through all the backlog available at the time, this has been the best Christmas Special of the year and, perhaps, of the decade.
Ulfednar - Speaking as someone who has discovered The Bugle this Christmas Day - I am going to be very busy. Merry Christmas from New Zealand - no snow ploughs here !!!
How to make John Oliver laugh:
-an entire segment of puns-
Referring to frogs as "copulating Kermits"✔️
John whipping out his accent in front of his friends is the best
I like this co-host, he's like a white Nish Kumar... Hopefully he'll join the regular rotation and take a bit of the workload from Alice.
It's actually Robin Ince in a Heinz Wolf skin.
Correction, nish is like a brown John Oliver tbh. John is the O.G. also there are yearrrs of john and Andy, being astonishing ridiculous and nonsensical on this podcast. (Lately I've been listening to the earlier shows on SoundCloud, but I've noticed them/ some, on YT, as well. It is integral to one's thriving in life, that they experience these shows/eps).
Regardless, I absolutely adore both john and nish, TO THE MAX. They are literally the actual joy of life. But honestly, somehow, more so, WITH Andy also present. I have observed also, that no one seems to make john OR nish laugh as hard as Andy does. And seeing as they are both my favourite laughers in the world, this is also a rather important detail. Andy is magical. He's basically a unicorn.
John, nish and Andy all together, would legit be my dream team. Dukes of delightfulness, sultans of silliness. Absolute goddamn legends. Who can't even get through one sentence without giggling or tittering, and often then forgetting what they were even trying to say. Not that it made sense anyways.
Alas, my life would be complete :3 💜💜💜
the first time we get to See john's reaction to a pun run...thank you Chris 😖
The pain is so visible. I love it.
Vanity Smurf is back! It's a Christmas miracle!
Dick Pants FTW!.
I love Nato, Anuvab, Tiff and all the others on the Bugle, especially Alice and Nish, but the chemistry between these two is unbeatable.
I'd really missed John enduring a pun run. Thanks for this.
Oh God John is here. It’s a gold for old bugle fans!
John you will be pleased to know we actually have Spready Mercury here in Wiltshire working hard with Usain Salt, Arnold Schwartzegritter and the Grittersaurus to name just a few...!
I like Coen Bros themed names for ploughs... Snow Brother Where Art Plough, The Big SnowPloughski, and of course, True Grit...
Brillo-Pads
Raising A-grit-zona, Snow country for cold men. Plough after freezing.... hello.... is this thing on?
Fargo
2020 is rubbish but the existence of this video is great...you win some you lose some I guess
Really missed them! What a great surprise:0)
this is like a one hour Last Week Tonight. A Christmas gift for all.
Listen to the old episodes of the bugle with john! there’s some hilarious clips on yt like the punruns and bin laden fuckeology
John missed riffing freely with Andy. You can absolutely hear it :p
Although I very much also believe that he he did not remember correctly or miss how bad the pun runs were...
I love how much fun they are having
The video during the pun run at the end is worth every second.
John Oliver is among America's most prized citizens... challenge me.
Now go listen to our other show: pod.link/TheLastPost
And drink Half a Glass of Water while you do...
I earnestly mean it when I say that this is the most thoughtful Christmas present I’ll receive this year
Chris, hey Chris, Fuc-- oh nevermind. Good job, dude. You rock.
This made me happy :-) there is something so soothing knowing that John and Andy are still a couple no matter the distance :-D
OMG a surprise OG bugle brings me so much joy!!!
I am absolutely devastated that we don't get more than an hour of the glasses, the nose, the legend that is John Oliver. Who is in fact the twistiest of Olivers.
Pure facts, he totally is the twistiest!!
And yea agree, saaame. Occasionally, somewhere in my unconscious, I'm sure I break down like BUT GODDAMMN WHY DID HE HAVE TO LEAVE US etc ..... because he plus Andy via bugle is an actual necessity, vital to life.
Andy in the Shed.. John in the Void... Chris in the fuck Dungeon
I have a certain unexplained joy hearing the way John says "Andy" and how Andy says "Anuvab".
The Christopher Columbus of comedy. Nice.
3:54 seems like a missed opportunity not to call one of those snow plows Wayne Gritzky.
This was absolutely fantastic!
Thanks to Andy and John!
And Chris xD (feels weird, but it’s Christmas)
brilliant to see john back with andy, the combo is perfect
John and Chris's faces during the pun run should absolutely be preserved for posterity.
Been waiting for this for 4+ years. Oooohhhhh yaaaaaaaa!
Loving JO's continuing admiration of NZ as a superpower! And his continuing antipathy towards our ex PM, John Key - spot on!
At least I lived long enough to see this.
The apocalypse must be nigh.
“IT’S GOT HOOVES, Andy!” 😂
Great to see John back. Great to see he is still in his white void!!
I am pretty sure he blew up the void... this must be his spare void. :)
@@wildflower1397 Must have been rebuilt for 2021!!!!
Having this just pop into my feed for the first time ever, I have to ask myself how on earth have I never come across this show before now? JFC now I’m wondering what else on this green earth I am missing out on. I won’t sleep tonight.
this podcast is the how I go through home office: basically it's just running in my background as I work
I have so missed the two of you together!
5 minutes in and John Oliver has me crying with laughter. To think he was like this in the middle of what was still a pretty shitty situation, that's just amazing.
Thanks Andy, John, and Chris!!!
I love the Bugle and have been a regular Bugle podcast listener for just over a year. Your humor in the time of T****, Brexit, Covid19, and the other ghastly plagues of human greed and stupidity are a real bright spot, sort of.
Enjoy seeing your laughter and fun as you interact with each other!! Thanks for sharing that, too.
Love your backdrop, Andy. Wonder if Pieter Bruegel the Elder's copyrights have run out... think BugleBruegel merch.
Best wishes to you and Buglers everywhere for a happy, peaceful, healthy, reasonably good, better than this year, new year!!🙃
I started listening to the bugle after trying to find more John Oliver , the latest episode on that date was his last. Enjoyed every episode since, some of those in person, and good to see Johnny showbiz back :)
This episode was literally the most delightful thing I have heard in all of 2020. I laughed so hard my cat ran out of the room! 😂😂😂
Do you write any sentences that are not about yourself?🤔
@@potdragon8091The first sentence was about how great the episode was, lol
Apparently you don't write any sentences that are not about me... 😂
49:09 The exact SECOND that Chris realizes what the fuck is about to go down.
Thanks for that. I kept a look out for it and it was great!
Country boy from Texas. I couldn't of asked for a better Christmas present than a new john and Andy bugle
This was literally the perfect medicine to this horrible year
An appearance from Johnny Showbiz himself from the void, that's some (miniscule, really small) redemption for 2020!
Oh look a John Oliver in its natural habitat.
Best present ever!
Having John back at the Bugle is such a great Christmas gift, Thanks Bugle!
As a Belgian, I'm happy to host a few Bugle-approved copulating kermits.
Nice backdrop of Babel by Pieter Breughel the Elder (different spellings possible), Andy!
I hope you're enjoying your waffle!
A couple of the snow plough / grit spreaders that John missed off that list were ..... Gritter Thunberg and Nicole Saltslinger
Andy Saltman
Andy and John back together again? It's a Christmas miracle! Thank you XOXOXOXO
John's demeanor during Andy's pun run... Priceless.
What a treat.
Proof that when you’ve got it, you never lose it.
My least favorite time of the year is the couple of months that Last Week Tonight is off for the holidays. Thank you for giving me my John Oliver fix...especially this year!
So bloody good having the team back together!!!!
The funnest (and funniest) hour of 2020! Thank you thank you.....
More of this please! So great to see John again
Oh my god! So good. I love these two together again.
As a resident of syracuse, I'm ashamed.
Honestly same, its embarrassing to say the least
Fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Really wish that we can have this more often, the good ole days!
Got this is incredible, now to go back and watch old compilations
Oh what a lovely Christmas present to find this show!!! So clever and funny. 💕💕💕😂🤓
John Oliver is my hero. Long may he reign
Beautiful British satire. Nobody does it better!
So great to see the comedy team supreme back in action!!
Johnny Showbiz is back, baby!
Lord I missed this ... 2013/2014 - SUCH simpler times, we were so lucky!
I had never known of this show before now. I enjoyed this episode greatly. John Oliver has always been worth my time. Love him.😁💕
This makes me so happy
It does the old bugler's heart good to see this.
Second listen and it's still a thing of joy and wonder.
This has been a shit year. But this has made up for it. Brilliant seeing and hearing you two back together again. Have a great Christmas and New year everyone. X
Thanks for putting this up so quickly Chris.
I transferred to a new job and lost my long commutes and therefore lost the time to listen to the Bugle until I just now discovered it is also here on CZcams and can convince my partner to watch it since there is a visual element! Back on the Bugle!
I can't wait to hear from John Oliver after the last few weeks...
Surely we need a 'Handy Salt Van' to clear our roads.
Andy should have come down a lot heavier on the puns, really punish the quitter. I bet he has missed them dearly
Tbh john says he hates puns but I have seen him in interviews, (apparently unintentionally) positively spewing them from his face. But yes, I agree with your statement lol.
This was a great throwback. I hope John could manage at least one appearance a month. I love this.
As an American person I understood about 20% of this content and I'd still rather listen to John Oliver talk about pretty much anything, over the other stuff in my CZcams feed right now (since there's no new Colbert)
Thank you for this i didn't know how much I needed it
Best part of this is the smile on John's face as Andy is bullshitting.
YAY!!!!! this is the best thing of 2020.
2020 really throwing the Hail Mary. Still rubbish, but this certainly helps. Great to see the band back together!
If you want to know the answer to the question "in what kind of world are we living in?", Andy. You should take another look at your background. Love The Bugle.
all this episode is missing is some old favorites in the news. a story about some horn-based berlusconi mischief would have tied this whole shebang beautifully.
Thank you. It was nice to have a "John Oliver fix", since it'll be awhile before we see him again regularly. Funny, I don't recall him mentioning the Bugle in any of his interviews. He did mention his old country didn't appreciate him.
Dave Gorman briefly worked on the Daily Show years ago. When he got back, Channel 4 told him that they were thinking about a British version and they asked if he could think of anyone who could host it. He suggested John Oliver and they replied that they didn't like his accent.
John Oliver is pure salty joy 🎊🎉🎈
Heeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!
Legendary.
OMG this absolutely made my day!!😭😭😭
I MISS THIS SO MUCH
I've never seen John so wound up! Fun to see how he relates to his mates here; he must be stoked to visit with them. Either that, or he'll follow John Mullaney into rehab, lol.
I like how John Oliver assumes that familiar American position of the UK of watching the UK's house slowly start showing signs of catching fire while his own house is being consumed by a nuclear firestorm.
