Murray: They won’t do that again.
John: *You should’ve aimed for the head.*
That story doesn't end well for the speaker.
Ah dammit **Cleans tea off of his keyboard** I shouldn't have tried drinking while reading that
@@ce6535 Or the one he's speaking to.
Lmao
@@arpodyssey7913 like the joker reference
"see ya in court, fuckface"
John Oliver is a god damn legend
J/O is my Spirit Animal
Llol fuckface how i call idiot in wh
The head of HBO's legal Council sang that....... Oh he looks so fucking ready for another fight with Bob........
@@Sonichero151 Just think of all those billable hours. Seriously though, John is a national treasure.
Yes 😂🙌
It’s so fucking funny that Bob got dunked on so fucking hard that this show was nominated for a fucking Emmy for this song.
he got dunked on so hard that he literally died rip bozo
I had to look this up, and it turns out that while the song was nominated for outstanding original music & lyrics but didn't win, it was nominated for "Outstanding Picture Editing For Variety Programming" and won! THIS SONG FUCKING WON AN EMMY!
EAT SHIT BOB!
@@Strawbz7209 bob got so mad he called in a bomb threat to the Emmys
Ha. Can't sue me for defamation WHEN YOURE DEAD
@@Strawbz7209 fuckin awesome lol.
@@Strawbz7209what did it lose to for music and lyrics? I genuinely think nothing can top this
Being one of their lawyers must be simultaneously the most stressful and the most entertaining job ever. Because on the one hand, John basically dares rich assholes to sue him every single week, but on the other hand, you get to hear things like “geriatric dr. Evil” and “a staff member dressed in a squirrel costume saying ‘eat shit Bob!’” read out loud in a courtroom.
Even when you explicitly tell him he can't say something, you'll still end up with "I asked my lawyers if I could call Bob Murray "Humpty Dumpty's drug-addicted third cousin who's legally not allowed to be within fifteen feet of a child anymore", and they said "absolutely not", so I won't!"
Those poor lawyers
Honestly, if I were a lawyer, I would love the challenge. Not just defending against butthurt rich people but trying to keep a straight face in front of the rest of the court.
@@Blasted2Oblivion"I challenge you to a staring contest."
"I once kept a straight face during a legal case involving a staff member dressed in a squirrel costume talking -"
"I yield."
Comic silver lining to that cloud!
Lawyers love John look at the business he is drumming up!
I don't think the guy who wrote "Eat Shit Bob!" ever thought his memo would inspire a broadway styled musical number.
But God damn it must feel good
Hope he is in a good place right now
I hope he gets to see this!
@@dee8163 Me too, but uh... he's probably in a mine. :(
@@trucheon1 🤔😁
I hope the miner that wrote “eat shit” on his check saw this. His little defiance has been amplified into the chorus of a musical number in Times Square. Amazing!
Oh he will see it that's for sure. I'm sure almost every Miner that works for this fat slob we'll see the show one way or the other.
Me too!! Comment if you’re on here buddy
Tyler Arnold he new that 3$ check was going to bounce
Odds are that miner is dead. Working for Murray Coal was a death sentence. We legally could not even force prisoners to do those jobs. Cruel and inhumane.
You mean he wrote, "Eat shit, BOB!!!!"
"Told Hitler to quit painting and to find a new career" is probably the most savage insult I've ever heard about anyone.
Followed by "He m*sterbates to Schindler's List" lol
And also the fact they said "He killed Archduke Ferdinand and started WW1" (which was 1914) and Hitler quit painting in 1913 definitely implies some shit lol
"He murdered Archduke Ferdinand and started World War I" is right up there though.
"He masturbates to Schindler's List" is my personal favourite
@@cleverusername9369 We're singing about Bob Murray I believe you've heard of him? "You mean the Zodiac Killer?" XD
didn't they also say that he masturbates to schindler's list? that has to be close to the top.
John Oliver is pure chaotic good and I’m so glad HBO keeps giving him the funding to do whatever the fuck he wants
He stops just short of the ACTUAL legal limit, but miles over what people THINK the legal limit is, and so he has an air of comedic risk that's hard to rival without actually full-on fucking the company over. They know they can back LWT because LWT knows exactly what they're saying. It's brilliant, and he walks that razor's edge like it's nothing. No wonder they want to keep him.
Comedy is a really good legal cover. It lets you get even closer to that edge.
@@bornvolcano they do have to pour a LOT of money into legal though, because as the point of the video makes _extremely clear,_ he does not have to cross any legal lines for someone to throw a SLAPP suit at him which costs a lot of lawyers a lot of time and money. the importance of HBO giving him a platform to do this _cannot_ be understated.
He is a brit. He is absolutely not "chaotic" anything.
@@narfle He may have been born one, but he is officially an American citizen now, that's as chaotic as it gets
“The Red Wedding is the most brutal slaughter ever on HBO.”
John Oliver: hold my sequined top hat...
Daniel Williams John Oliver (🎶EAT! S***! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!🎶)
Daniel Williams holy shit you genius I love this
Perfectly expressed. This was so damn funny I forwarded it to my BIL who's a trial attorney.
To be fair, Bob started it...
😂
The best thing about GoT ending is John Oliver inheriting their budget.
$6 million budget per episode! :)
But as a standalone, you figure 150 million subscriptions worldwide, at $15 a month, HBO brings in $2.25 billion per month. I think they're gonna be fine.
@@crypt0nym0ussec57 Thier gonna be fine
John: O:O
@@coldfusionstormgaming1808 LMAO!
And actually doing shit with it.
You mean his defense lawyers getting it.
I love how “He doesn’t like Tom Hanks” counts as “no reasonable person could construe as factual”.
Tom Hanks is a national Treasure. He‘s starred in some flops but his performance always slaps!😂
2023 and this still SLAPPs. Wherever Bob Murray is, I hope he's stuck listening to that song forever.
If there is a hell, this is certainly on a loop there for him.
You didn't read the other comments? He died shortly after this aired, which means he definitely saw it, and in theory the rage he felt killed him, but in a much more ironic twist, he died from Black Lung, apparently. Which is a disease notorious for killing miners.
The guy who wrote "eat shit bob" on his check has started something beautiful
"Eat shit bob" is basically the story of the American Revolutionary War.
I hope these comments make it on one of his episodes
When your co-workers matter more to you than a few more bucks in your wallet, you know you're still human. :)
(Especially if you haven't got a lot to go around, and/or it's more than a few bucks, but you get the idea)
Probably gonna use it in my resignation letter at some point in my life... 😋
he is the unsung hero who... got a song!
I am terribly sad because I can never watch this for the first time again.
What a great reply!
Apada I wish I had said it like that.
Agreed
Quick, someone get this to 666 likes
Agreed! 😒😂😒🤔😂🤣
God I wish Bob Murray had sued John Oliver again before he died. Could you imagine how the cross examinations in court would go?
Lawyer: "Did you go to the M&M Store and put the candy in you anus?"
Murray: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you advise Hitler to quit painting?"
Murray: "No."
_Lawyer gets interrupted by the judge laughing their ass off_
The fact qe didn't get to see this is proof we're in a lesser timeline.
Lawyer, “Do you masturbate to Schindler‘s List? does Old Yeller give you an erection? Is it true you once soaked your private parts in a hotdog vendor’s water?“
He probably had the good sense to know when the battle was lost. Suing would just be extra humiliation.
“Are you, as stated, a furry? Are you or have you ever been romantically attracted to a squirrel?”
@@whitneyfluttershyelizabeth imagine if he *was* a furry and then was on the line for perjury 😂
I love this was basically Bob slapping John and saying “that’ll shut you up” only for John to pull a pro gamer move and swing back harder
Bob slapped and John pulled out a cannon
John didn't pull out a cannon - he pulled out one of the dragons from Game of Thrones and gave it a job after the Season 8 finale.
You’re gonna hit the king you better kill the king, everyone knows that.
If there's one thing I've learned from the Animaniacs, it's that you never slap a cartoon character. The funny British news Zazu took the slap and said "of course you know, this means war".
Bob slapped and boss music started playin lol 😆
"I mean, we're going to get sued again anyway. Might as well earn it."
I mean they gotta play this in court now.....as evidence of course
wait, can we help him with buying his food in Shit Bob?
@@metsfan1324 the judge will be like "can we play this again? I paid too much attention"
@The Godless Irrelevant here, and also history never just repeats it's all too complicated for that. Please actually read up on stuff (preferrably in books vetted by a bunch of professionals who are actual nice people to other people) and do please consider things in more detail.
@Devin Nunes' Cows Brother It's okay we all are way too stupid for that dudes group.
For anyone wondering, the guy playing johns legal counsel is named Brian D’Arcy James. He’s in a wonderful (absolutely hysterical) musical called Something Rotten that has the exactly the same energy as Johns song and is absolutely a national icon.
I saw a community production of Something Rotten and it was so damn good.
WAIT THATS YHE GUY WHO PLAYED SHREK
I’m so ashamed that that’s what I know him from
Also a very nice man! I was delighted to see him
One of Broadway’s very best and very capable of holding his own in A-list casts of Hollywood movies as seen in Spotlight and Molly’s Game
If I remember correctly he also did a stint as King George in Hamilton on Broadway! I always remember him as "the guy in musicals with the eyebrows" lol
Every time I come back to this(which is often), the sheer petty rage of “hey Bob, is this as bad as you feared?” floors me like a semi driven by the decomposing corpse of Bob Murray
honestly that's my favorite line in the entire thing
The smug loathing in John's eyes during that line is absolutely incredible.
HBO should sell this song as a single in order to pay for the inevitable legal fees
HBO makes a few billions each year, the few hundred thousands that John's lawyers cost are just like change to them.
I will buy that mp3!
Great idea!
Totally, or Charity for the Holidays to kids/families that need it!
I would buy that song just to spite bob.
That last scene cost half of what they spent on legal fees. HBO is sending a clear message that another suit is inconsequential to what they're willing to put behind the show.
As it should
Interesting observation. Didn't think of it in those terms.
+
exactly!!!!
It's striking that such a celebration of NYC, of Broadway, and of being an American is coming from a Brit.
The sheer audacity and craft involved in this show are outstanding.
Bob Murray and his lawyers: You can't use this as material, we'll sue you
John Oliver: *does it anyway and then uses their lawsuit as material too*
Bob Murray: fucking dies
Remember the immigration piece, where John Oliver told us he was admitted to the country on a visa for a person with "extraordinary ability in the Arts?"
And how he said that like it was funny and he'd gotten away with something. But he is!!!
And he proves it again and again 😊
The same thing trump wife did. So far her only ability was getting her family in the u.s.
@Benghali In Platforms plastic surgery has nothing to do with good genes.
@@perryi7752 Trump's wife got in on an EB-1 or "Einstein" visa, which is for those with extraordinary abilities who are highly acclaimed in their fields, the government cites Pulitzer prize winners, Olympic athletes, respected academic researchers, experts in various fields, multinational executives, and Oscar winners. It's really difficult to see how she qualified as she was a working model but had no where near the acclaim to qualify based on her modeling. Honestly, it wouldn't be much of an issue if it wasn't for her husband's anti-immigration policies.
I don't know how the show's staff convinces the executives to give them this much funding, but I hope they never stop.
I think this episode is exactly how they convince the executives to give them funding
because at least 1M view on youtube, it's maybe their best program on the internet. Also John Oliver is deeply subversive, I bet they get funds here or there :). Some episodes are deeply informative and some others are here to fun and they really are, in the other hand some are pretty akward to me. For the Dalaï Lama episode for example, things are not as simple as that, but it induced the audience into a false sense of certainties while the reality is way more nuanced than that.
1.8 mil views in less than 24 hours.... thats how
Maybe the HBO executives also felt like giving Murray the middle finger after the whole lawsuit
It probably helps that they've won Outstanding Variety Talk Series (among others) for four consecutive years at the Emmys. When you're consistently bringing that level of prestige a network, they're going to help you do what you want.
“You fuck up our name, we fuck up yours”
*violent foreshadowing*
Next time anyone ever needs to understand the phrase “if you swing at the king, you best not miss”, you just gotta show them this
Or don't attack someone who buys ink by the barrel.
I can’t tell if you’re implying Bob missed, or if John’s the king and knows how to swing perfectly
The most glamorous and expensive middle finger I have ever seen, never stop.
With an actual middle finger thrown in for good measure.
Salzfass best piece of trolling I have ever seen.
I love this to death, but it's not the most expensive. A whole movie was made as a middle finger to Hitler, and that is Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator".
@@ragg232 *Many* actual middle fingers thrown in for good measure! The point is... well done, John! Congratulations on your *well-deserved* Emmy!
I think John Oliver just became an American hero.
Never mind the fact that he's British, he's an American icon.
@UberKrassMann sometimes you gotta go back to your roots XD
Rachel Miller I think he has dual citizenship
He's been mine from the start. He had me at Hello. I see Another Emmy for this brilliant episode alone!
Damn shame other countries come to America to stand up for Americans 🤦🏾♂️😂
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I come back and watch this episode. It's fucking gold.
Me too. Especially if it’s been a bad day because of bad people. This episode and song are such an inspiration for not giving in and rising above the bullies.
Yes, I need distracks this good for all my enemies.
rsdgrdhrh
There's something about the song at the end that makes me tear up when the fireworks start going off. I think it's because it's so rare to see people like Bob actually getting a fragment of justice delivered to them, or maybe it's the fact that Murray died shortly after this came out; I'm not entirely sure why, but something about this just resonates deeply with me.
He died shortly after filing for benefits for black lung disease.
Rarely has schadenfreude been so perfectly on point. Or en pointe, as the case may be.
Same! It genuinely gets me quite emotional and I think it’s because it’s so rare to see a bully of that magnitude be totally destroyed with nothing but facts and comedy
he literally ate shit
and his company went bankrupt after acquiring $2.7 Billion Dollars in Debt 🤣
Bob Murray: Drops case.
John Oliver: Life's boring now. Why don't we make him sue us again?
Hopefully Bob's blonde friend will join the party, for some big $ threats
Bob Murray drops case: JOHN OLIVER FIND MY CASE, FIND IT, PICK IT UP!
@@jesuismanu You're thinking of sexy John Oliver costume. Clearly, it's sending guys lawsuits that turns him on.
@@natapper No, it's because he doesn't have a case. Defamation has to include slander or libel, which are flat out lies. If you are telling the truth, damaging or not, there isn't a fucking thing that can be done about it.
@@DarthObscurity I mean... did you watch the episode? They knew they didn't have a case going in. That's literally the central point of the segment: that this suit didn't *need* to have a case. I'm pretty sure that if he hadn't hit financial difficulties, he'd still be tying up HBO's legal team for as long as he could possibly string this out.
It's great when the good guys have a budget
This one I would do for free. ;) I wish that the people of LWT would use their platform more against the elite, this time they did it in such a big-budget way because of how they got screwed by the elite and how much others get screwed by these kind of lawsuits, i haven't heard them much on for example DAPL or Flint Michigan. More of this please for those causes please.
Not only have a budget but a channel that supports them despite all the controversial things they say.
Mark Galione or a map or something...?
@@albamurataj5246
But that also is the problem. This team wants to address relevant issues but they have to toe the line because of HBO its interests. They have more freedom because they are a subscription channel but WarnerMedia does pose limits on what they can do. That is why they have been little vocal on for example DAPL and on how the corruption from the Clinton network (Clinton herself, Podesta, CNN/MSNBC/WP/NYT/ who pimped Trump to start infightin in the Republican party because they knew how weak Clinton was as a candidate...) got us president Trump. The comic Jimmy Dore did a segment on this on his Jimmy Dore Show, you can easily find it on KRplus.
This theatrical performance was great work though. :)
@@peterjansen4826 I never said it was perfect. I've seen this guy offend his AT&T overlords but he never takes it too far cause he knows he'd be shut down in the middle of the show if he went off the rails but frankly compared to other shows he has a lot of leeway in what he chooses to talk about.
I agree, anytime he does the performances they are hilarious and great.
13:15 The joke landed so well, that the crowd's laughter actually pulled him off script. Absolute gem of an episode in general.
“Hey Bob is this as bad as you feared it?”
Fucking tears of laughter and joy. Tears. Never heard someone roasted so thoroughly. What a GOAT John Oliver is.
John Oliver: the most Chaotic Good person in history.
smilkngkevin I think you have to be chaotic and creative today to be a good person, stepping outside all the silly rules ostensibly to sustain civility but in fact, only have a chilling effect
@@jschuler53 Absolutely. When the norm is bad, chaos is good.
"Creativity is a weapon"
A lesser Gracie those who work within those rules to change the system are good people too. Civility is important, laws are important. The laws need to be changed, and the people working to change that through the system are good people too, to say they don’t exist is insulting to those of us who try to change the US for the better in our own way
@@olorinmagus4479
Of course Lawful good people exist too, the ones making the laws for the better are what helps us common people. But sometimes you need a loudly voiced complaint to bring light to the issue and get the point across, hence why John Oliver exists.
If this is how HBO chooses to spend their money, I think I'll have to get a subscription.
Should be frigging tax deductible!
Agreed. I got to catch up on all the intros to these episodes and then watch The Righteous Gemstones
Same. I would consider getting a subscription to watch and support this.
So fucking true, subscribing right now.
Patience Gaydos don’t take all the credit from John now. He’s the one pushing the boundaries and deserves your money and attention, not HBO
So HBO legal team's strategy in court was essentially choking the judge with laughter
Every once in a while I find myself returning to watch the best episode of Last Week Tonight ever aired.
Never forget, Bob murdered archduke Ferdinand and started world war one.
Twice
He was Bill Cosby's dealer and Epstein's prison guard.
That and that he doesn't like Tom Hanks! :o
As an Austrian I can confirm this is how it happened
@@Maryville57 I was shocked to learn all these things about him. But not liking Tom Hanks, that's taking evilness just a bit too far.
"shit we have so much money from Game of Thrones."
"what should we do with it?"
"Let's let John Oliver just go absolutely hogwild."
Reason season 8 was so short was because HBO had to allocate so much money for legal fees. Worth it, in my opinion.
Actually I would think 200 grand is pocket money to them, but it's a good gag! 😆
money well spent, no matter what he does with it
@@felixvelariusbos That's not true, HBO offered more seasons but Dumb & Dumber (Dan and Dave) wanted to finish it early so they can work on their $100m deal with Netflix. Why would HBO want to end its most popular series that was making them so much money?
@@dgomez611 You're right, though I think felix's comment was meant "in a way no reasonable person can construe as factual."
I love the fact that in trying to fet John not to talk bad about him, he led John to make a BROADWAY NUMBER ON TIMES SQUARE about him!
And yet again, here we are. Another year later and this is still the best episode ever. Massive hats off to the Writers, Legal, John, and all involved. Bravo. Bravo.
I hope the man who wrote “eat shit bob” on his check sees this video and knows he started something amazing.
I wish giving your comment a thumbs up would do that.
@@theactionman007 I wish giving your comment about giving his comment a thumbs up, a thumbs up, would help that as well.
Comment so YT prefers the vid
@@crypt0nym0ussec57 I wish giving your comment about giving his comment of giving a thumps up, a thumps, a thumps up, would help that as well.
@@badbradisback I have too much history homework to sort through the layers of commentception so I'm just commenting as well
HBO: How do we stay relevant now that GoT is over?
John Oliver: get me squirrel suits. Plural
Einar Sigurðsson never watched it. Never going to. How to sound relevant. 👌😂
@The Godless lol go away
HBO's budget must be draining, given the many antics on Oliver's show alone... But well worth the pricetag.
@The Godless
Go eat shit, friend.
@The Godless
Take your antisemitic conspiracies back to where the sun doesn't shine.
Almost 4 years later and this is still one of my favorite things John ever did.
Imagine being a dancer showing for an audition and finding out it’s for this 🤣 they all looked so happy
The funniest part of the whole music number at the end is when the song was over, my 2yr old toddler clapped and cheered "Yaaaaaay! Again!" ... I'm not a good parent. Lol
It’s an important life lesson dude your kid has to know what happens to people who act like asses, someone is gonna drop a nuclear level broadway diss track on your ass
You both appear to have good taste…
You're right, you're not a good parent... You're a great one. Lol!
No no. You’re doing it right
This has to be the most elaborate insult in the history of mankind.
J. Ramos leave it to a Brit !
Bob: The ultimate wager. A SLAPP bet.
John: This is going to be - wait for it - LEGENDARY!
Certainly a classic of televised history already
The man presenting it had to be British... Although the Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire is pretty damn close.
I'm not sure it's enough.
I feel like John Oliver is the physical incarnation of free speech as the freedom toucan. My hero!
and the fact that he can't sleep without a night light is a metphor for the fact that the freedoms for which he fights are a guiding beacon in an otherwise dark and miserable world.
Yeah.. free speech of constantly going on about "DRUMPH" every 10 seconds.
Freedom Toucan, ha ha ha..... i peed a little. woops.
Alex Jones is my hero
#FreedomToucan is now my spirit animal
in honor of the third anniversary of bob's passing yesterday, let me drop you some truth for all those who think Bob let his beef go: No he didn't, he got killed off by karma before he could!
this was posted 11 nov 2019, bob died exactly 3 year and 1 day today, oct 25 2023. He had an almost a whole year to see it. I am sure he did see it, but people say he didn't because he responded to any bad media about him in days of it coming out. But this time he did not, and it was not because he let it go...it's because he got LUNG SICKNESS COMPLICATIONS! HE DIED OF IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS AND EVEN APPLIED FOR BLACK LUNG BENEFITS A MONTH BEFORE HE DIED, THE SAME BENEFIT HE HELPED DESTROY FOR YEARS.
If you ask me, that last bit was probably the last straw for God, if you are a dying millionaire with wealth on the back of miners you fucked over for years and your first response to getting lung sickness was "let me get one last lick!", that would be how i would take you out. That or a cave in.
As someone who lived next door to a miner who died of "the dust" as we call it over here in the UK, when his youngest child and I were 6 years old (a long time ago), I cannot help but think that karma is not so much a bitch, but the perfect way to balance the scales of justice. Of all the diseases to take him, there couldn't have been a more apt one. Thank you for the info!
@y_fam_goeglyd indeed. I laughed so hard when I found that on his Wikipedia page. The little goblin got exactly what was due to him. Karma is a bitch because she is fair. It hates all equally
thank u for the lore drop
@@lilypads17 my pleasure.
Yup. Died of black lung after trying to deny coverage for the condition to his own miners. Ain't fate a bitch? Enjoy hell Bob Murray.
That last "SHIT" came from the HEART.
Somewhere out there is a miner who had no clue what he would start when he returned his bonus check
I was thinking the same! I hope he is doing good, would love to see his reactions to all of that!!
Yiah murray calls people evil but payed his workers 3 dollar bonuses for them working more yiah he tricked his own workers just to get over the fact he ain't a boss in the 1920s or less...Murray is a evil business man scumbag that is his legacy. Eat shit Bob.
I hope he watches this and feels proud about himself.
One act of courage inspires others.
A coal miner somewhere: *laughs in Appalachian*
When the founding fathers wrote the first amendment, I like to feel like this is exactly what they had in mind.
fireworks and lady dancers and all :D
I love the picture of reality you just painted for me!
Yes, accept that I don't think they would've liked a British man insulting an American.
I bet they must be giggling in their graves 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Freedom of speech has only ever been a fancy phrase for "arresting people for criticising the government is bad"
That's all it has ever been.
That said, I am thoroughly on board with what John Oliver is doing here, but the "muh freedumb" idiots not knowing what the fuck anything is is extremely grating.
John Oliver is literally the physical embodiment of chaotic good and I will always be here for it
In his entire comedic career, this has to stand as John Oliver’s magnum opus.
That ending was 5 and a half glorious minutes of reminding us why he walks home with the Emmy every year.
The Pope holy shit was it really 5 minutes? Also, I’m pretty sure John Oliver made a video about you (The Pope)
And the moral of our story is...
Don't fuck with HBO!
@@Sam-kz9mw Not sure about John, but check out Tim Minchin's Pope Song! Very well worth your time
The absolute worst part is that I can only like this once.
You can share it too!
Share it!! #eatshitbob haha
The absolute worst part was the bit about the kidney stone.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages as during the ending song.
@@REDACTED-as_opposed_to_dacted I put one in the palm of my wife's hand, one time. Her fault... she asked how I was doing...
"Eat shit Bob" was performed in front of a live studio audience. 🤣 Love this video!
This is truly the greatest piece of media to ever exist
Eat 💩 bob!
Now imagine this being presented as evidence in a court.
Bet money the judge chuckles a bit, before he gives John Oliver thumbs up
And the Honourable Judge laughing his/her corset off before dismissing the case
That's what I was thinking... the judges trying to hold their laughter just to replay with "all that was protected speach"
My gods, I'd never stop laughing!
kind of the whole reason they went above and beyond with the "Fuck you, Bob" thing - it can't be used as a reason to sue.
This is the most eloquent "f*** you" segment I have seen and I am proud
The single greatest waste of hbo money ever
#ginus#beterbando
Is it better than the letter from pom wonderful where they very politely instructed him to shove a box of pomegranate juice up his ass?
I don't think I've seen anyone comment on one particular joke raised almost in passing: the online cartoon of Oliver with the glass-syringe-condom cake, and Oliver's wonderfully good-natured reaction to it, is just brilliant. "Nailed it; no notes." 🤣🤣🤣
Play this at my funeral: Bob Murray Edition
the best part is knowing Bob Murray's lawyers are going to have to sit through this without laughing
They won't. They'll laugh their asses off in private and then go, “Yeah, we should sue.”
I doubt they will succeed.
Parzivald Shiflty ahhahahahahahhahahahahhahah
@@couragekarnga8735 Since their goal is to take Bob's money to sue, they will succeed - in taking his money for a frivolous suit that will be thrown out.
We lawyers will not even stop laughing when our threatful, amoral, letter-writing duties paid $100 per hour will be replaced by heartless lawyer AI software. A human can always surpass the machine.
Fishing his kidney stone out of the toilet was the closest he ever came to actually mining...
He probably made someone else do it -.-
*VERY TRUE!!!!*
That's an image I didn't really need.
He might have been mining for gold up his nose once as a kid
$3.22 bonus pay dear?
I've had many discussions with friends about the best thing we've ever seen in TV or movies, and I come back to this episode of LWT every single time without hesitation. It's absolute perfection - daring, informative, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. The fact that Bob Murray died of black lung due to his own shitty workplace safety conditions before he had a chance to sue HBO & AT&T again is just icing on the cake.
Still one of my favourite episodes. The ending is just perfection
and this, children, is why you never sue a comedian.
😂😂😂
Or a newspaper. "Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."
So much this. XD
forreal he rosted shtt outta him
@@KneelB4Bacon I think most ink is powdered these days. At least the large van sized xerox printers I work with are
Imagine them having to play this in court and everyone trying not to laugh.
Probably the point. If he wants to sue them, this is the evidence he'd have to present.
and even at teh end of the song they say they made it all up.. so self-defending evidence!
Chris Check pretty easy feat if you ask me
I'de love to have the jury and the judges in that court case do the 'you laugh you loose' challange. :P
Better yet, the transcript reading
I do sincerely hope Bob Murray got a chance to see this beautiful tribute to his work before he passed away.
I come back at least once a year
This episode is a masterpiece
Im just laughing at the fact that ,If bob sues him for this segment, the court will have to see this as well 😂
I just imagine there being a stack of paperwork listing off all the things they call Bob in the piece and the judge being like, "Excuse me...?" and John just being like "Here, this'll help *rolls in television and starts video*".
I like to think the legal team will argue that the song is slander, to make a legal case they will have to argue that the statements made were not so absurd that no one could be reasonably expected to believe them.
I was thinking the same thing! 😂🤣
Neet Skeet I think that’s the point. 😂
But they disclose in the song that it is all made up and they are just talking shit. I haven’t cried with laughter in a while... that was great.
HBO: so John, how much budget do you need for your show?
John Oliver: *Y E S*
I’ll need all the budget.
It's the other way round. Because we're closing in on the end of the season John can blow the rest of it.
HBO: Fuck it, we made Game of Thrones. We've got cash to burn.
John Oliver: ... If you have to ask

HBO: so John, how much budget do you need for your show?
John Oliver: ALL OF IT
:D
Today is possibly my fiftieth time watching the last six minutes of this episode, and I still derive much joy in watching it as much as the day it first appeared over two years ago. Since then, John won a another Grammy for this episode and Bob is long gone an buried.
David, Joanna, Jill, and Seena (music and lyrics) deserve a f**ing Grammy for this.
Love how the fireworks have correct punctuation. Class act.
We don't even deserve John Oliver, but boy, do we need him.
Johm and his team 👆
I don't know about that. When you blame the consequences of your faulty practices on an earthquake that never happened, yell at victims' families for asking questions, and sue anyone who says something about you that you don't like, I'd say you deserve an elaborate musical number telling you to eat shit.
YUH HUH. Totally f******g agree.
@@byebye5907 I think there should ba a law prohibiting people from filing lawsuits in states they don't live in. Sure, I know Bob Murray fucked a clown while dressed as a penguin, but he will find a way around that law.
God looks after fools, drunks and the United States of America, and She has the most trouble with the US.
"He doesn't like Tom Hanks. He cut off Van Gogh's ear. He told Hitler to quit painting and to find a new career." Damn son
thanks for quoting the Hanks, Van Gogh, Hitler line, I missed that.
@@jschuler53 Don't forget "he masturbates to Schindlers list"
@@TheLibermania who doesnt?
@@sabin97 That was one time... don't judge me for that.
Why do people love Tom Hanks so much?
John Oliver is a human treasure and must be protected at all costs
The Mel Brooks-esque ending is simply… perfect. Noel MacNeal as Mr. Nutter Butter is the cherry on top.
Bob Murray: You can’t do that!
John Oliver: Yes I can. And because you told me I couldn’t I’m gonna do it bigger than before
This the kind of thing you’ll find at the end of a season wait....is the end of the season or no?
Cheeseball Gooberpants next week is the last episode!!
He’s like an awesome intellectual toddler
John Oliver in a nutshell 😉
@@nerdyninjatemptress With SO much money hahaha
John Oliver officially has the best diss track of 2019.
The English accent makes it sound polite.
John Oliver is a gift and must be protected at all costs
Man.. I admire John Oliver and his show and crew so much. S Tier
Just imagine the reactions when this gets played in court.
Paul Decker I don’t wish for it to get that far; But Would Love ❤️ to be there if so!
I was thinking this the whole song!
By law, if the judge starts dancing, he is required to throw out the case.
Laughter ensues.... Some people really have to stop being so thin skinned. BOB, I'm talking about YOU.
They'll have to play the whole thing, of course...😆
Bob Murray: * Sues John Oliver to scare the sh*t out of him *
John Oliver: I can do this all day.
Bob Murray after this video: "Ive made a terrible mistake".
Bob Murray I’ve come to waste your money again
Some ideas and people are just godsend
So if that’s the case would John be Captain Britain?
@@MsPuffykinz he didn't expect HBO to actually help I think, the letter he sent to AT&T, HBO's heads mean he was trying to get them to silence John.
Ironically John already shits on AT&T all the time
I love how at 25:10 you can really see the emotion in John's face at the last "Eat shit, Bob"
4 years later and this is still the most legendary piece of work ever to grace my screen. Eat shit Bob 😂
He needs to win an Emmy just for this episode alone
The Christicorn Word!!!
What about a Tony?
It would be the ultimate fuck you!
THIS.
John Oliver has made himself immortal. He is amazing.
HBO: John, did you just spend more than two hundred thousand dollars on a piece about Bob Murray?
John: Wanna see me do it again?
AT&T and HBO bosses have already signed the check, well they will when they stop laughing and put on dry pants.
HBO: If you let the head of our legal team call him a fuck face you got a deal.
@Dick Fageroni You are seriously confused right now.
@Dick Fageroni Well for one, the shooters name was Anders...
You have no idea how badly I wanted that dude to actually be from HBO's legal department. Sadly, he isn't but a man can dream.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why they keep giving him Emmys.
He's like a British Stephen Colbert.
@@couragekarnga8735 Stephen colbert is the American John oliver
Stephen Colbert isn’t close to the same league as John Oliver
Probably eyeing tonys nowadays also
@@pennhmwiatt.6687 ummm, the late show Colbert, probably... but the colbert report Colbert was a few hundred leagues higher than John or anybody else except for Jon Stewart.
In a surprising turn of events. John Oliver dropped the hottest distrack of 2019
It's diss track
Bitch lasagna!
I really want to like this comment, but I'm getting physically ill hovering over this beautiful 420
is it really that surprising though? 👀
@@theownmages That was 2018. This is valid competition against PewDiePie's "Congratulations" diss track though!
Yep, this is still the best thing on the internet.
LWT’s finest moment to date. John is in his element, and I’m excited to see where Season 10 goes! Keep up the good work. And shout out to the legal team!!
"Told Hitler to quit painting and to find a new career"
LMAO
Wicked :)
I missed that one. I'll watch it again!
😂
Masturbated to Schindler's list is also right up there.
when do they say it??? I missed it
“He told Hitler to quit painting and to find a new career”😂😂😂🤣
He also shot Archduke Ferdinand which started World War I. So Bob Murray was the cause of both world wars. What a guy! XD
@@samjuan4899 And when WWIII happens, he'll be responsible for that as well!
Did he founded the AfD ("Alternative für Deutschland") secretly?
@@sailingakademie Yes.
@@sailingakademie and funded Pegida.
When I feel down and weary of the world, I just watched this episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. It always cheers me up and brightens my mood.😂
This show's use of funny and real claimed website domain names is just pure genius
I like that John Oliver doesn't back down when he's bullied, but instead ramps it up to 100.
yeah, he has the HBO behind him. And that shows the problem with standing up to bullies with money.
@infirmux - Yeah, that poor innocent coal company CEO who caused nine deaths with his unsustainable business practices and then was made to feel a little stressed out by a man calling him out on it, on live TV.
Let's burn that first amendment so poor rich guys like him can commit manslaughter by negligence in comfort again!
Hazukichan X is this some kind of superpower that you’ve interpreted infirmux’s comment that way?
@sharique - I interpreted it as saying John Oliver is a bully using HBO's money to get his way.
I suppose it could also be saying that to stand up to a rich bully, you have to be rich yourself, which is a problem.
If it's the latter, I agree and apologize for misinterpreting.
Same.
I see HBO's new legal strategy is to make the Justices of the Supreme Court piss themselves laughing when they see this evidence.
OMFG!
XD
YOU’RE RIGHT!!!
And I think we can all agree, it will most likely work.
Shawn Elliott OMG! I hadn't thought of that! If Murray DOES file suit, this video will of course have to be shown to the judges! That makes it even more hilarious!
Not to mention HBO's legal team can keep replaying the evidence, or quoting the evidence to verify each line is not reasonable.
HBO Lawyer: "Your honor, on the grounds of Bob Murray being Jeffrey Epstein's prison guard, we argue it is not a reasonable position to hold, and therefore clearly a joke. If the opposition would care to present why they feel a reasonable person would assume that Bob Murray was Jeffrey's Epstein's prison guard we can proceed."
hahaha John Oliver does it again!
