he’s the new leading man in news related
comedy welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 john oliver moments on
last week tonight the entire Czech
Republic was put on notice this week
because its leader couldn’t find his cat
but this list will be examining the
segments and features that have helped
to turn John Oliver and his show into a
viral internet phenomenon we’ll be
focusing on the entertainment of the
pieces as well as their impact
[Music]
it might seem appealing
number 10 dr. oz and dietary supplement
but on Capitol Hill Tuesday he was on
the hot seat excuse me but any seat
doctor often sitting on is the hot seat
one of the standout moments of last week
tonight’s first season is this segment
on dr. on an accredited doctor who’s hit
show is considered by many in the
medical community as a modern day
version of a prowling snake oil salesmen
have I got something miraculous for you
ladies and gentlemen a monkey’s paw
mixed with five petals of a rose but
simple full of Arthur semen guaranteed
to cure your lumbago severide our
severide aver John Oliver covers the
doctor stand hearing as well as dr. Oz’s
use of his profession to legitimize
unproven product however the deeper
focus of this editorial is the lack of
regulation concerning dietary
supplements which is the result of the
unbelievably legal practice of lobbying
dr. oz is just a symptom of the problem
the disease is the fact that dietary
supplements in the u.s. are shockingly
unregulated Oliver talks to segment off
like schooling dr. oz and the supplement
industry at their own game by showing
them how to pander properly complete
with puppies t-shirts celebrities music
and dancing
I guess what is Steve Buscemi tap
dancing
number nine tobacco that’s the best time
ever to be a tobacco farm probably most
profitable Wow so it’s an aging product
that’s decreasing in popularity and yet
somehow it just can’t stop making money
it’s basically the agricultural
equivalent of you two despite its sharp
decline in popularity in America the
tobacco industry continues to be
profitable
thanks to emerging markets over see last
week tonight covers that subject
emphasizing tobacco companies litigation
against any attempts to mitigate the
marketing of their deadly products such
as the plain packaging laws in Australia
as well as poorer countries such as
Uruguay or Togo who cannot afford
expensive court cases and when your GDP
is only a couple of billion more than
the box office of Avatar a protracted
legal case it’s not really what you need
the biggest impact of the segment though
is the introduction of Jeff the diseased
lung in a cowboy hat a mascot parodying
the Marlboro Man we are all friends Jeff
to you but it Louis International to use
as you wish the show sent geoff tshirts
to togo and put up billboards in uruguay
plus jeff appears whenever you do an
image search for Marlboro on Google
number eight sex education the
conversation animals in zoos refused to
let you not have in this piece Oliver
looks at the state of sex education in
the United States with particular
attention given to its inconsistency
there is no required standard for sex ed
in this country in fact only 22 states
mandate to the kids receive it and only
13 requires that the information
presented be medically accurate sex
sexuality or something most people will
have to deal with at some point in their
lives and Oliver point out the absurdity
in America’s varying approaches to the
subject which can range from genuinely
informative to downright backwards those
are the things we do not want to be
taught in our school those are things
that should be taught in your home
what taught in your home here is an
exchange that has never happened how are
you so good at sex I was home-schooled
the editorial concludes with a simple
direct look at sex education parodying
me less than accurate sex ed video
showcased earlier narrated by celebrity
in the quarry this segment is an
excellent example of last week tonight’s
tendency to highlight social or
governmental issues that could use some
improvement and doing it in a way that’s
enlightening and entertaining if you get
a chance to have sex with this man go
for it numbers have a televangelist
Church America’s favorite place for
redemption and six favorite place for
chicken while it may be hard to believe
that they’re still around the show’s
spotlight on televangelist revealed that
they remain fixtures of television and
really wealthy ones is that I had enough
money to buy a beautiful Cessna Citation
jet cash I bought a jet cash I bought a
bigger jet cash the haters act happy for
me that’s that’s not a sermon if the
first draft of a Rick Ross single Oliver
highlights the practices used by TV
preachers to get rich with particular
emphasis on GDP which is essentially
asking people for money and promising
good karma in return as investment you
think better off burying your money in
the actual ground it’s at least that way
there is a chance your dog may dig it up
and give it back to me one go good boy
he also illustrates the gaping tax
loopholes that allow televangelist to
get away with their verbal robbery
with a demonstration of the process with
the creation of his own short-lived real
church Our Lady of Perpetual exemption
the church did have to close down after
people got a little too literal with the
seed metaphor we are also not closing
down because you kept sending us actual
seeds even though we explicitly told you
not to number 6 2015 Canadian federal
election Canada the country you think
about so little that’s it end of
sentence originally airing the literal
night before the election was due to
take place this segment focused on
explaining the electoral process while
also sharing a few hilarious scandals
and detailing the major nominees for
Canada’s three major political parties
look no one is saying about his
behaviour worthy of a head of state but
you cannot deny that it is somewhat
satisfying to watch a soul patch man
named Justin with a French accent just
fall down some fair
Oliver pays particular attention to
defend incumbent Stephen Harper whom he
calls banal but technically evil tobacco
is a product that does a lot of damage
marijuana is infinitely worse are you
high the crowning jewel of the
proceedings however is Oliver’s response
to the law forbidding non Canadians from
trying to influence their election that
is a ridiculous law and I guess what
you’re saying
Canada is you want to dance what balls
is an over-the-top request not to vote
for Harbor accompanied by music
pantomime animals and Mike Myers dressed
as a Mountie riding a snow plow I love
Canada
but the fact that it has a law banning
outsiders from telling Canadians how to
vote is one of the least Canadian things
possible sure oh and don’t vote for
Stephen Harper exactly refine u.s.
presidential scandal the 2016
presidential election or as it’s more
commonly known the electoral equivalent
of seeing someone puking so you start
puking and then someone else is giving
and pretty soon everyone is puking 2016
the u.s. presidential election dominated
the news for at least a year and the two
candidates major scandals are examined
here in great detail these complaints
the scandals have been so pronounced
polls show that less than half the
electorate fees either candidate as
honest or trustworthy all over paid
particular attention to
Clinton scandal namely her email server
and the Clinton Foundation controversy
explaining the complicated details in an
understandable and funny way he then
contrast Clinton’s wrongdoings with
Donald Trump mentioning that over fifty
percent of the Republican statements
were found to be false by PolitiFact and
suggesting that he’s committed far worse
far more often and with significantly
less scrutiny than Clinton if you are
irritated by her lying that is
understandable but he is quantifiably
worse older finishes the piece off by
using an incredibly effective visual
demonstration of the difference between
the candidate are doing that while
Clinton has more scandals than someone
should they’re nowhere near as many as
Trump’s son Hillary is a cookie like
this one she arguably has more raisins
than average but we all need to remember
that when it comes to Donald Trump this
is the amount of raisin that the
represent number for 2015 FIFA
corruption case the World Cup is one of
my favorite things but it’s organized by
these guys
FIFA few subjects have received as many
segments devoted to it on last week
tonight’s first few seasons and FIFA the
organization in charge of international
football and the corruption charges
against it official and we have to be
men and non-profit organizations with
over a billion dollars in the bank
yeah but they didn’t say and he served
our reserve a reserve of a billion
dollars John Oliver’s passion for the
sport is really evident throughout all
the coverage and various pieces are
easily some of the best the show has
ever put on some of the highlights
include all of her promising to endorse
product P vines gross or tacky if their
companies pull their sponsorships from
PETA which she delivers on by the way
and his memorable feud with former FIFA
vice president Jack Warner which
included purchased airtime on Trinidad
TV and an announcement accompanied by
dramatic music and Jets of fire
magnificent music under yours
well played
well I see your music choice and I raise
you fire number three government’s
surveilling and I realize most people
would rather have a conversation about
literally any other topic including is
my smartphone giving me cancer to which
the answer is probably or do goldfish
suffer from depression to which the
answer is yes but very briefly the focus
of the longest segment and episode of
last week tonight yet government
surveillance in America is a frightening
and uncomfortable subject but one that
John Oliver handles with grace section
215 is overseen by a secret intelligence
court known as the FISA Court and
they’ve interpreted it to mean the
government could basically collect and
store phone records for every American
the vast majority of whom of course have
no connection to terrorism people cases
primarily on detailing what programs
like the Patriot Act allow the u.s.
government to do as well as Edward
Snowden’s leaking of the information
that revealed the scope of the
government’s reach while also touching
on the public’s surprisingly blasé
attitude about surveillance half of the
pieces run time is devoted to Oliver
traveling to Russia to interview Snowden
himself which made headlines around the
world how much do you miss America you
know my country is something that
travels with me you know it’s not just a
geography already a way too complicated
on for the answer is obviously the laws
the greatest country in the world
despite being a comedian first Oliver
managed to ask plenty of tough questions
that’s noted while still maintaining an
air of humor vo 12 triple three is what
the NSA uses when the other authorities
aren’t aggressive enough or they’re not
catching as much as they’d like for
example because are they going to seem
on dick I’m only concerned about
Martinez number two bread’s it
referendum the United Kingdom the slice
of the Beatles and yet very much the
world’s Ringo regs it the nickname for
the June 2016 referendum in which voters
decided whether the UK should exit from
the European Union has been
controversial and financially tumultuous
breakfast doesn’t sound scary it just
sounds like a shitty granola bar you buy
at the airport this place like a
preserved owl pellet get on going to
Cinnabon
I enjoy it John Oliver covered his
homelands referendum before it was
actually held in a segment he explains
the basics of what the European Union is
identifies its proponents examines their
arguments and points out their party’s
history of xenophobia and nationalism
just hold not British enough to be in
our Parliament he’s talking about a
British citizen who was born in London
and raised in Hampshire how is that not
British enough like many other last week
connect Tories this one wraps up with a
musical number this time in the form of
a plea for Britain to remain in EU while
still you know kind of insulting it and
sung by a barbershop quartet it’s not
often that you hear young boys belting
cursed Laden songs about economic Union
Oh
[Music]
before we get to our topic here if you
want herbal mention I’m not a story
tonight is income inequality a good way
to figure out which side of it you’re on
is whether you’re currently paying for
HBO or stealing it
there are certainly better voices than
mine to speak on behalf of Puerto Rico
luckily there is someone with Puerto
Rican parents and an amazing voice and
he is here tonight question number one
and what does the continued existence of
the Miss America pageant say about how
women are viewed in America you have 20
seconds guys
beginning with the Seneca Falls
convention in 1848 Bedford first wave
feminism the perception of women in
America has always been complex and
fluid number one Donald Trump our main
story tonight and I cannot believe I’m
saying this is Donald Trump and I say
that I said that knowing that every time
his name is said out loud
he has a shattering orgasm while John
Oliver and last week tonight have
tackled Donald Trump several times into
theory this in-depth look at the been
frontrunner for the Republican Party
nomination for the US presidency is by
far the most successful and the most
biting Donald Trump seems the truth like
this Lima gives the Supreme Court
vacancy I don’t care about that in any
way please call I have a banana alder
debunk Trump’s biggest selling points
his temperament is honesty anti success
none of which are as substantial as
Trump claimed while also highlighting
the candidate dangerous inconsistency
when it comes to policy I don’t know
David Duke I don’t believe I’ve ever met
him I pretty sure I didn’t meet him and
I just don’t know anything about him
really that’s your best answer there
because you definitely know who he is
partly because you called him a bigot
and a racist in the past however what
ld50 is when Oliver hits Trump’s
somewhere he actually valued his name
which is also his brand
Oliver reveals that the alleged
billionaires family name used to be
drunk a moniker he feels to be much more
befitting of the man him
self and it may seem weird to bring up
his ancestral name but to quote Donald
Trump he should be proud of his heritage
do you agree with our list all right I
am judging you as a host next to him
which last week tonight moment is your
favorite the other thing that happens
out of a show
chlamydia just a medically sounding
right at chlamydia for more top 10s
