The joke about Ukraine being Russia REALLY hits different in current day.
-
John Oliver breaking kids hopes and dreams for 3 minutes.

I asked my 4 year old what he wanted to be and he said “a bubble”. All i could say was “okay”.
-
That little girl who has never said the word "tasks" before and just mimics you is adorable.
-
“Do you think a robot could do my job?” “What is your job???” Dying 😂👍
-
"Do you think a robot could do my job?" ..."What is your job?" REKT.

The little girl copying his accent was so cute

The Ukraine = Russia joke has aged extremely well.

I laughed way harder than I should've at the kid inadvertently doing a British accent.
-
That Russia joke went sooooooo under appreciated

Wow, I cant believe John Oliver set up this entire war, to make the joke a little funnier.
-
"But I don't know what it means...." That poor girl at the end represents what most of us struggle with.
-
"That's literally the plot of Robocop" omg I laughed so hard at that

I'm gonna defer to Stephen Hawking on this: "If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." The only reason automation is scary is because we've decided that if you don't have a job, you don't get to participate in society. We don't actually have to do that.

As someone who lived in Shreveport for a while.... accurate...

When I grow up I wanna be a robot. That way I can be sure to have a plethora of job opportunities.
-
"You're definitely faster than a robot? Here's the thing: You're definitely not." 😂
-
Adult: What do you want to be when you grow up? Me: A robot.

I know this is insignificant, but I was so happy when he mentioned my country's name. As it is a very small country unknown to most of the world and for them to chose it instead of the other 140 that they could have chosen just made me feel like my country was a little special (even though they were mocking it). I'm so proud to be a citizen of Zanadu.
