    It's a little weird watching these with the audience laughter now
  • @glennniessjr674
    That “cool metal tube to die in” bit hits different in 2023
  • @loonykitty
    Rewatching these at the end of 2022, is like rewatching a horror movie from the beginning. So terrifying and surreal. Making sure it actually happened. Last two years felt like the strangest Nightmare.
  • @raremevprod
    Funny how people laughed at a person gargling bleach because its absurd and nobody would do that and then the president recommends injecting disinfectants a month later.
  • Never thought I’d hear a middle aged British man say “that absolutely slaps”
  • Spoiler alert from October 2020: The US is the cool metal tube to die in

    Look at how innocent we all were back in March it's almost cute

    Oh my god! I am so happy that Last Week Tonight show featured my dance on the show and mr John Oliver even danced to my choreography ^_______^ Dance and music is our language to spread the words to the world! So proud to be a Vietnamese dancer! I wish all of you would be safe and sound during this Covid-19 (Corona Virus) season! Peace and Love from Viet Nam <3

    There's an irony in the fact, that a song about preventing a pandemic, ultimately went viral itself.
  • @nebulous7961
    It’s now July and it’s so alien to hear an audience laughing in the background (Edit) Holy fuck it’s March 2021 now (Edit edit) it’s July 2021 now 😐 (Edit edit edit) It’s fucking May 2022 and life makes zero sense and is hard af. Hope y’all are staying safe-sendin love

    "It dies with hotter weather" As someone living in Arizona, in 100°+ weather, with almost 62k new cases in July alone (1st -18th), yeah... no... just no...
  • @TheSodakboy93
    One thing we can all agree on: the Vietnamese hand washing song does slap

    “Being dead is already the best medicine” -John Oliver 2020 An American Citizen I felt that in my bones.
  • @jacks6910
    Boy that submarine joke aged like fine wine.
  • @cliff5066
    "The virus is pretty much under control" 6 months later: 200,000 people dead in the US
  • @meruscales
    “You can’t just make up numbers when you don’t like real ones” complex analysis intensifies
  • @kwasibruce
    ''Wiping off fever sweat like an Alabama preacher'' . That one just killed me 🤣
  • “How scared should you be?” “A bit! A bit.” Oh boy, famous last words.
  • @thadevans4512
    It’s coming up on a year since this video first aired. Almost half a million Americans have died and it’s crazy seeing just how naive we were a year ago.
