If you're in a loveless marriage then a dildo is very much an essential item
Glad jon oliver is now an American. Its why he shares in our grief.
14:25 how is.. How is that racist? Its a wrong statement but not racist
And they STILL think $2,000 is too much to spend for those of us that are drowning
that 1917 joke 😂
Fucking hilariously pathetic that a millionaire's wife's personal "painting operation" needs to be subsidized with money meant to help small businesses that ACTUALLY need it. These pieces or shit have absolutely ZERO shame.
Ditto, what overhead and employees does she have to paint shitty pictures!! Fuck you Kudlow!!
Robots will be watching this news segment in US History classes 50 years from now! and will ask "What is a human."
please upload high resolution picture of stay up late by brian swords, i'm want to use it as wallpaper for my computer, please please please. I love that painting.
9:57 Gotta love it
Employers showing their gratitude by spending millions to give their workers higher pay, health insurance and paid sick leave? NOPE! Employers showing their gratitude by spending millions on television advertisements "thanking" their workers? YES YES YES!!!!
The only thing Bezos has contributed is making sure that GenZ knows, IRL, what a Robber Baron is.
Are dildoes essential items? For most, no. But for some (sex workers), they are. Some sex workers should probably close their business for the duration but not all of them can, and many work online which is the ultimate in "social distancing", the tools of their trade are essential. I get what the man is trying to say, but there are exceptions to almost everything. Sex workers are people too.
So regular employers with staff to pay couldn't get quick access to government loans, but it was easy for the wife of a wealthy government official to get a handout for staying at home and not painting pictures of her husband? This is Peak America for sure.
Me sarcastically: It's great to see that Amazon is just as anti union now as ever (which is the number one reason why I hate Amazon.
At the start of 2020 I was unemployed and I was like oh I'm not going to bother looking for work right now, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out soon! If I get a job now, I'll have to ask for a few weeks off to recover from surgery literally right after I've been hired, and they'll probably just fire me on the spot instead. That'd look really bad on a resume, and I'm not in a desperate financial situation, I can sit tight for a little bit. I'll get my surgery done in february, and by mid March I'll be totally recovered and ready to start job hunting! ...Yeah so guess how that's worked out for me.
Canada gave emergency unemployment money to anyone asking for it *on the online government page*. It was way higher than regular unemployment, and super easy to get Always disappointed in the USA. One of my American friend took a job at Amazon warehouse for an additional revenue, she didn't work more than two weeks there before she caigh covid. And that's the only place she thought she could have gotten it because she didn't get out of her apartment for any other reason. She got complications and almost died from it
Yoo that’s my local news, White House has the best blueberry donut s
My favorite thing about this piece is how Judith Kudlow's still life work is actually very good 😂
You are an honorary Zoomer
Ok, but those paintings are actually quite nice
I'm sorry. How is saying someone is "not intelligent" and "not articulate" racist? Simply because you're saying it to a black person? That's complete and utter bullshit. And also not now racism works.
US labour laws are completely pants.
That Florida cockroach Rick Scott got covid today
9:27
I got unemployment at the beginning of the outbreak. Now I'm being forced to pay it back.. Our system is trash and working in America is borderline "voluntary" slavery.
That guy at the end put on that bowtie, looked in the mirror and said "This is a good look for me", and yet I'm supposed to trust that capitalism rewards the best and smartest among us?
I don't need pizza, I need to pay my bills
I worked at a grocery store till I left for college and it was insane.
Judy cudlow may be just painting ties but they are really well painted ties
"Never report the news while sitting next to a cat that's making a five-course meal out of its own asshole." That is a line that is so silly, but so very, very funny.
I will never look at the Amazon logo the same again 🤣🤣🤣
Funny that John Oliver as UK guy is the voice of reason in USA. But maybe this all be history now with the classless nonsense. Biden gonne bring it home and re-establish decency.
The Tiger Queen ist beyond hot with her moves! geeeez effing christ!
235k+ deaths and almost 10 million cases. As of Thursday November 5th 2020. This obvious and Objective show of incompetence could have been avoided. I also admittedly didn't take the virus seriously until the deaths passed the 4-5 digits, but I'm a ignorant 19 year old who still lives with his parents...the president of the USA shouldn't be thinking like me. Isn't this man like 70 years old? I can't believe this is reality, it seems like something from a Tv Show.
The UN global forecast of death statistics for 2020 has been reduced by almost a million people. www.wojcik.at/en/Pandemie.php
man I miss the laughing in the backround
9:26 -
For those returning later for it, the Carole Baskin moment from him is at 9:56 You're not welcome.
Why is it racist though to say that the guy isn't smart nor articulate? isn't it possible that the guy happens to not be smart nor articulate regardless of being black? SMH
make a video on sat guru
I get the feeling that being a researcher for this show would be amazing
It's nice to look back on better times, sometimes.
America is so fucking BROKEN!
6:08 she's a pretty good artist by the looks of it.
But keep making Bezos richer I mean he deserves it. Look what a good person he is.
When the rich elites either wilfully or not, are so out of touch that they think “Oh we can do it, why can’t they?”... this administration and its enablers really are the worst thing to happen to america
Great way to bribe an official - "it's not a bribe. My wife is a great artist!"
i hope Qoronavirus leave us alone whoever see this comment i wish you,your family and the ones you love a healthy life i hope God save all of us
13:48 *42*
Online work, giving you the freedom Mycrowd1.com/limvantien
Fuck you John Oliver
When do we get to see him diet a dance Tik Tok with his atttempt
COVID-19 is the black light on the hotel sheets of our broken country.
What else do Republicans stand for besides keeping the money flowing away from the poor or struggling, looking after themselves, toeing the party line in the hopes that they'll be given bigger crumbs from the Good Ol' Boy's Table ?
This fifty-two year old lifelong leftie says that *anyone who appears on Fox News is evil by merit of their claiming to have the ability to think.*
We didn't get here by accident. We were all obsessed with absolute nonsense, and thought elections were a joke, and that someone's emails were enough of a cause to disregard their candidacy, or fell for an idiot's promise of free stuff that would never have materialized anyway. And now, because of our own collective apathy, we have landed here. The virus was just a mildly effective catalyst.
They should name the USA as the United States of amazon
Call me cringe but I actually like her paintings 😅
That Family’s First Coronavirus response should have been mandatory sick leave except for less than five employees, not 500.
That's called "playin' the cello," not "making a five course meal out of its own asshole."
Make a law for Naturalisation / Citizenship easier honestly. Theres a wise, and caring brit that has a real voice and genuinely cares for humans as a whole right in front of you.
The Conservative are Anti American terrorists. i have learned to hate them. They want poverty and control of the workers.
Dude, those are paintings? A lot of them look like photos to me! She is actually pretty darn good in my opinion!
14:15 Now what Amazon did there is absolutely unacceptable, but may I just ask: How was that racist? In no way did they claim he was not smart nor articulate because he's black. It was an abhorrent move, but note that his race was only dragged into that by John Oliver there.
When you actually call the oates hotline...🎧🎶
without the audience, i don't know when to laugh... should i laugh at the dildo bit, or feel shame for having ordered one to get through the lockdown
I personally believe a business should be able to survive a month or 2 on savings. I also feel like that's not how reality works, but that's never stopped beliefs before.
If those were in fact all paintings, those are really good. Like, a lot of them could be mistaken as photos.
Like Chernobyl exposed the flaws of the Soviet system, the Coronavirus is continually exposing the flaws in the American system.
The fact that healthcare/insurance is tied to employment in the US is frightening. Who the FUCK thought that was even close to acceptable to the average person?
#savethechildren
17:10 *fuck this system* ... in germany you ALWLLLWLWAAAYSSSS GET TREATMENT!!!! insurance is mandatory and does NOT end when your job ends... everyone pays, who needs, receives!
Dildos are essential if you're stuck at home with a man you plan to divorce.
I think it's really sweet his wife paints his ties and shirts! It's like a tribute to her husband's clothes. It's actually kinda romantic
I don't like the way he makes fun of her art, they're good paintings.
there are already documents to prove that ALL BANKS were aware of the bailout weeks before..they were stalling so that the major players get their piece first; for example, the notorious steak chain restaurants...smh
Naturally, immunity in the body can fight against this virus, but the condition is that we have to respect the natural rhythm of life. Becauseof the 'modern' lifestyle, some of us are away from that rhythm. Some ancient techniques can help you bring that balance back to your existence. Learn them here: vineetbasantani.com
Very distinguished artist you say only except it's only paintings of stupid ass shirts and ties that guy has a shitty marriage choice
Trump is completely impaired to ever admit to any wrong or false doing. He was raised like that. He will never ever admit to anything, ever. Curse his Dad, not him. He needs help from a Psychiatrist.
jpworlds.info/up/bideo/h4TFsNqNmKt83YE So I have made this my life's mission. I am gonna leave the following link of a mind blowing impersonator of John in every Last Week Tonight video until this guy is talked about in the next episode: jpworlds.info/up/bideo/h4TFsNqNmKt83YE
"We'll continue to do everything we can to keep you healthy, safe, and protected." So you'll keep leaving people dead on the ground for twenty minutes but still get on them when they need to take a piss?
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with that "dildos are not essential" claim
I interpret those paintings as Judy Kudlow begging to be let out of her husband's walk-in closet
3 months later and still the same
The CORONA VIRUS no vaccine yet.
k well that internal Amazon memo was pretty bad but WHY is it racist? Please someone teach me.
John needs to see Finnegan Fox And Dixie do, the greatest foxes on the internet.
I wonder if Adam Driver has seen this video
Why is the wife of a very well paid politician whose job isn’t affected at all applying for the loan anyway?
Wait, if the are eligible ought they not get it? This is why we limit eligibility.
I really don’t understand why the states can’t have a two tier system for health care. One for public health and tax dollars go into paying for it so health care can be free for those who need it. For those who have money and don’t want to wait, they can pay for private care.
Why would I pay for healthcare in this example? Are rich people not allowed to get this healthcare?
"YOU PENSIVE BISON" 😂😂😂😂
John: Dance! That’s an episode on its own :)
I want one of those stupid but well done paintings too...
I find it funny that in the video praising amazon workers and saying they are in a safe environment, none of those workers are wearing masks 😷
This entire show is a political ad and has been for years
Why are we still buy things from amazon?
Because they’re a monopoly that has taken over the industry.
Because we collectively do not care about people
Fuck me, it still blows my mind that there are 1st world countries that don't have paid sick leave. We're not known to be a communist paradise, but tell a German that your government gave you 2 weeks sick leave as a grand gesture and you'll get some pretty blank looks.
Can't wait for DC to pretend the pandemic never happened. "Back to normal" and all.
It’s the cold 👏
That paycheck protection plan really ended up benefiting the wealthy in the end.
Ohhhhh a government program that doesn’t actually do what it was designed to do. Yet leftist want more government 😂
Is it just an effect if the white background or something.... but is John’s hair greying? If it’s not that... then damn these are trying times... hot take I know :/
WTF is "stay up late"
@Cioda Well, evidently, but thanks
Its a painting he learned about that he has since began searching for, and found
