    Wow, you can still see the hope in his eye
  • By posting all episodes onto this account, you not only give people the opportunity to see some of Last Week Tonight they have never seen before, while also giving people the ability to preserve these episodes past the whims of HBO. Good on ya folks.

    Nuts to look back into the time capsule of "things are pretty damn bad, but you don't even know what's about to hit you".

    As an Oregonian, it is a little cool to know the first swear words ever spoken on this show were about my state.
  • @JohanYugar
    The casual mention of Trump in the media coverage about the US election hits different now
  • @JeffKelly03
    They say that the presidency ages you tremendously. Well, it's very clear that reporting on the presidency ages you even more.
  • "The only agency in government that really listens" is an absolutely awesome slogan for the NSA.

    10 years have passed, and it’s interesting how the structure has changed over time. We’re used to the 25-minute segments that take up most of the episode, but this first episode had several segments of equal length without one dominating the entire thing.
  • @bruuuuuuuhh
    crazy some of us have been watching LWT's youtube channel since 2015 and this is the first time we get to see a full episode
  • @lmoore3rd
    It's 2024, Oregon built a new website for the unemployment office and guess what it doesn't work either.
  • @Souchirouu
    Fun fact: Former NSA director Keith Alexander is now on Amazon's board of directors.
  • @faceestrella
    Wow it's like I'll relive the last decade through this lmao
  • @JustJessee
    You can tell how much happier John was back then, he wasn't even beating his desk with both hands yet.
  • @TIOLIOfficial
    "The episode that started it all. Whatever "it all" means in this context." Love this.
  • @sarahbuck2506
    There aren't many shows that are brilliant from day 1 and still manage to be brilliant years and years later. Bravo John and the LWT team. Never leave us.

    This is wonderful. I can laugh and re-experience trauma and the loss of most of my hope all over again. 😅
  • @wonjoomin
    I still remember getting HBO just to watch GOT and Last Week Tonight
  • Happy ten year anniversary John Oliver! Thanks to you and your artful delineation of current events, I am very depressed.
