    "How bad could a tweet from a world leader be?" 2015 was a different time...
  • It's funny to see that Brendan Fraser is actually an academy award winner now. Out of all things to age poorly, this is the best one šŸ˜Ž

    I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw that Season 2 had been uploaded! John Oliver is a magnificent human being.

    You can tell this is ancient because John shows the correct map of Ecuador and just moves on without saying anything

    "Pharmaceutical companies are like high school boyfriends..." is surely among his top 20 jokes
  • yall dropping the entirety of season 2 with no warning, what a time to be alive.
  • Seriously, the team behind this show, or whoever decided to just start uploading the old seasons when they don't have new episodes, is incredibly based. Thank you for feeding us!

  • I worked fine dining in Atlanta for several years and I would say I did over 200 pharmaceutical dinners for doctors. They're usually somewhere between 45 and $150 a head. And that was 1990s early 2000s money.
