5:27 DW Santa, COVID will ruin Santacon
Watching this video one year later I'm wondering if you got your wish. Given the pandemic were there any SantaCons held in 2020?
Haha said this needs to be the last one. Well I guess you got your wish.

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
God bless you, John Oliver, sincerely; truthfully, in Jesus Christ's living, holy, sovereign name. All is well, content and full of joy in Christ. We love you. Merry Christmas. I thank God for everyday He gives you. God is love. God bless, save, protect, empower and have mercy upon America, in Jesus Christ's returning, wrathful Judge name. Fear not. Fear God only. Psalm 117 1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Mark 1:3-4 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. John 3:16 Authorized (King James) Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 2-4 Authorized (King James) Version

John in 2019: This Santa Con should be the last us in 2020: oh shit
Watching this exactly one year later, it's astonishingly prescient.
Well its definitely not happening this year
Well you got your way Jon. Merry Christmas.
Good news: because of the pandemic, Santacon 2020 has been cancelled, so in a way, Santacon 2019 was the last ever Santacon! Thanks COVID! Bad news: There will probably still be Santas fucking in the Duane Reade because NYC is now such a hellscape now!
my, the laughing is so off-putting now
This is actually kind of weird with the laughter now lol
I guess that SantaCon 2020 really didn't happen.???
Again, sorry to remind you of your patriotic duty to defend the constitution: We, the audience have canceled your leave unti Jan. 20, 2021,
I am convinced that John Oliver wishing for this to be the last year with a Santa-Con in 2019 brought a curse upon us that created Covid. Change my mind.
Corona may have killed Santa Con!
you wish came true, Santa Con died :D
Well John, you got your wish! SantaCon is cancelled thanks to a global pandemic that's left 200,000 dead in America alone! I hope you're happy!
you did it John, its cancelled this year!
Last year may have been the last one after all.
I actually like the show better without the live audience
Well I guess Santa Con is dead now! Covid-19 got it
Rip santacon
John Oliver, your wish is granted...well kind of...
He may have got his wish its canceled for 2020
Well, you got your wish :)
Never been to a con before but now I've found one I'm actually interested in seeing...
Well you got your wish John but it took a pandemic to get it done 😝 No Santa Con this year!!
Did John Oliver have a monkey’s paw & wish for Santa Con to be cancelled because.... hoooolllllyyy shït it worked!
SantaCon 2020?
John Oliver: This should be the year SantaCon dies Covid-19: Say no more Mr. Oliver
Well... technically, we all got what we asked for.. no Santa Con this year
Ok... I guess his wish came true ... sort of...
Wish granted, no SantaCon in 2020 as far as I know.
My scariest Santa moment was in El Centro,CA in 1973. Santa was Woman. My Mom kept saying, lets wait until we go to San Diego to see Santa. But alas, no! I sat on Mrs. Santa's lap and have the photo to prove it!
Why is that scary?
John Oliver: "I would argue this SantaCon should probably be the last." 2020: "Agreed"
we did what we had to do to stop it
"This Santa-Con should be the last." well, you got your wish, but at what cost?
Where's Shelley? Anyone know?
I don't think anyone thought SantaCon would be ended this way
Is covid Santa-con's way of getting back at us?
He should have been more specific when he said last years santa con should be the last
Boy do I have good news for you!
I live in Ireland so I never even heard of this wtf
Congradulations Reddit, we did it. All it took was a global pandemic.
SantaCon 2020 is cancelled. So technically, it was the last.
Congratulations John. It worked. No Santa con this year 😅
So... It won't take place this year, will it then?
So, are we living in the same reality as Angels in the Outfield, that movie where God sends his angels to make a baseball team win the pennant just to fulfill some random kid's wish? Because in hindsight, it really does seem like God created the coronavirus pandemic just to fulfill John's wish that there be no more SantaCon.
Ah yes, the distant past of 2019, when LWT could have a season finale without existential dread
Ok, but, like... where's the scientology episode?
I think now we should now actually all thank COVID because the virus finally killed off SantaCon.
Ironic enough, there won’t be a Santa con this year
John Oliver really said "it should be last" about Santa Con 2019 and 2020 ran with that
at least i live in a world where santacons are being cancelled left and right
Well i do miss them
Last year's SantaCon may have been really the last. Nice one, John!
2020 update.Santacon was cancelled due to coronavirus!..:):)
Sounds like Christmas’s roots
Being a twitter activist sucks! Got banned for trying to spread the word. Please look into Buy Now, Pay Later services and how they market to vulnerable people during the COVID19 crisis.
Santa created Coronavirus to kill SantaCon
That guy from aisle 4 is awesome. The way he delivers that information is priceless. First his face is like 'ah, I don't want to tell this story no one will believe me" then he changes to "its my duty to inform the people of this. They need to know and I'm dead serious about these fucking santas."
You got wish!!!! COVID took care of SantaCon for you!!!!!
Oooooo he jinxed it
#ripsantacon
To think of how different the world became between this episode and February is striking
Remember when this was a silly show about strangely specific topics? The good old days, when there wasn’t a raging pandemic, and we weren’t exhausted by the disorienting nature of fascism.
Really, John, a dead baby joke? Too much and not funny...
Moral panic. Was at this about 15 years ago. It's not at all wild. Just a bar crawl.
We’ve all seen Jingle All the Way, we know what SantaCon is like.
Watching for the first time in 2019: "Probably a mob of drunken Santas, lol." Watching for the first time in 2020: "Probably a twisted pedophile ring or some s***."
I am not entirely sure I get the point.. I mean; Yes, this would be a bad thing for children to observe.. but.. I'd also say that this is WAY beyond the bedtimes of the children who might be blue-eyed enough to really take any offence to it.. I mean.. 3 am in a store? Any kid who might have seen that probably worry more about their own parents alcohol-use than Santas.
Fuck you John Oliver
Dude that's to far
thats going to hit him hard xD a lonly comment on a 10 month old vid xD
latetotheparty: ohmywordthe POEM XD
Hey, Hoboken has Carlo’s bakery.
I lived in NYC as a kid and we would always see the drunk Santas. My friends parents owned a bar and had to always kick out the Santa's
remember when *santacon* was our biggest concern???
Why would anyone dislike this video 😂😂
#savethechildren
Well, at least it was a semi-redemption from the Santa bit in the Mexico elections video. If you know, you know. And if you don't, congratulations.
i lost my virgin at santacon =-)
I remember my first Santa Con, my wife and I arrived in NYC for the day and we noticed an awful lot of Santas on the train. Grand Central Station was full of Santas and the subway we got on was PACKED with Santas. You have not had a proper NYC subway experience until you've been packed in a subway car with Santas chanting "SANTA RIDES THE SIX! SANTA RIDES THE SIX! HO HO HO HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
🎅 is a CON
"At least that baby was just dead" is a hilariously dark statement to make
Where's Shelly, David? Where's Shelly?
Jolly
Thanks John for helping me understand why the world has been watching Walmart shoppers on the internet for years, your show give context to life. LMAO sanity not required love from Australia.
Wow Covid puts a new spin on all these old videos. Oh John Oliver wants last years Santcon to be the last one...OK here is a disease that prevents larger gatherings.
"ironically it's technically old enough to drink now" 😂😂😂😂😂
I still enjoy the show for its entertainment value, but it can't be trusted when it comes to factual reporting. I remember them making quite a few false claims in the "Medical Bias" episode that really shocked me. Saying that there "obviously aren't" physical differences between the races is not only ignorant, but dangerous. I thought we could trust this show, but clearly we can't. And while some people might say, "But they only made that one mistake". Maybe, that we know of. That's the thing with reporting. Either you can trust them completely, or not at all. If they lied/misinformed to you once, there's no way tell if they are doing it about other things as well. If a GOOD journalist makes a mistake, they print a redaction to make sure everyone knows. But this show has made mistakes and never addresses them.
Oh, what a simpler time
"We are back next February." *NO. No we aren't back.* #Coronavirus4eva
I have this sudden urge to get a polar bear fursuit and turn Santacon into a furry convention.
honestly you'd think LWTwJO's santa would approve of the santacon sex, he does spend pretty much all year charming his snake
Ah, from before people started dying... Good times
Anyone here watching santa get fucked during Corornavirus?
*joke about how the Santa’s aren’t social distancing*
So what do you call it when you still get hammered, but don't dress up like Santa? :-) That's the one I like.
