    "I am far from your worst option." What a campaign slogan!

    Back here after Silvio Berlusconi passed away. My condolences go out to his volcano in this very tough time.
  • For those wondering what the correct answer is for Renzi's Wheel of Fortune episode, it's un mare di neve (a sea of snow)
  • I would love to see a 5 minute video of the HBO budget department reacting to the requests from John’s show.

  • John Oliver to HBO: Alright so for the next episode we're gonna need a lamb, a set of an old Italian game show, and a remote control volcano HBO: ......

    One year later and here in Italy i think that the Vespa with a tank top would be the very best choice right now

  • Cut to 2020: an Italian comedian makes a video about how insane the US election is.

    "If you don't know where I'm going with this, you've clearly never seen this fucking show before"
  • @MrNimbus420
    "I am far from your worst choice" that line alone would actually gain you the elections in Argentina

    Sometimes, on cool summer nights, I like to take long walks and ponder what the world might look like today if John Oliver had somehow been elected the prime minister of Italy.
  • “Under the Italian law the governement coalition can pick a random jackass who has nothing to do with this campaign as Prime Minister” IT LITERALLY WENT THAT WAY!🙈

    Italy stands in a crossroads. On one side, a joke. On the other, a fascist. America solved this by combining the two.
  • @toreta4980
    I love how John sometimes bring up false images of something and let us know a moment later it's false. That makes me think I should think twice, not just straight out believe anything, when I see something on TV.

    Watching Jeremy Paxman say "unfuckable lard arse" is the best thing ever.
