Nah, if you can get a regular 1 square foot cake for under 20 bucks, I'm sure you could get a 600 square foot cake for under 10k, even if it's a beautiful custom print one. You know they didn't bake it in one piece, lol.
I'm not sure, when you consider how much effort is required and depending on how they baked it... Did they just use hundreds of smaller cakes or did they bake multiple giant ones or did they bake one reeeeeeeeally fucking big one... Plus I imagine it would probably require some more specialized tools to spread the icing that far...
“The world's largest marble cake was made for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, for an episode on Turkmenistan's authoritarian president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. It is a at 600 sq/ft cake featuring an edible image of Berdimuhamedow falling off a horse, with a marble-textured frame and red trimmings. According to Oliver, Guinness World Records, which was criticized in the episode for its relations with authoritarian regimes, refused to certify the record unless the show signed a contract prohibiting it from criticizing the company. The cake was presented on 11 August 2019 and shared with the show's audience, with the remains going to City Harvest.” -Wikipedia’s article on “Marble Cake.”

I gave it my best shot before watching the vid, having never heard of him, and I was pretty close. Christ if there were pronunciation bees instead of spelling bees I would wreck the competition.
Excessively competitive mindsets lead away from constructive, useful shows of competence and contribution to society, and toward "achievements" that exist solely for the sake of bragging or having something to lord over others. Over six billion people would like to feel special, and it's not all that viable for any one of them to do it by being the world's best at something remotely sensible any more... so it's either do something nonsensical more than anyone else, or find your specialness from another source. Say, loving yourself as you are, and/or finding people who love you for your true self. Nah, that's crazy, let's all build the world's biggest waste of marble instead.
I looked it up and, unsurprisingly, Guinness World Records still doesn't acknowledge Last Week Tonight's marble cake, but luckily the wikipedia page on marble cake does.
Guinness World Records should just be impartial,name the record breaking cake as the show's cake ,minus the offending /mocking cake picture. Add a smoke effect LOL
to be fair... just his BRITISH ACCENT puts JO ahead of all the others. (Trevor would be second, based on that SECRET WEAPON... except Trevor isn't BRUTAL like JO is!)
The leader before him (Saparmurat Niyazov aka Turkmenbashi; which means "Leader of the Turkmen") almost built an ice palace in the middle of a desert, renamed months after his family, and named a city after himself. He also made people read his book the Ruhnama, basically his book of opinions that all Turkmen had to agree with. If you want to drive, you had to pass a test about the Ruhnama. Did I mention he ALSO had a golden statue of himself that rotated so that it would ALWAYS face the Sun, to symbolize that his age was the golden age? AND he was the one who spent the country's natural gas money on all those fancy marble buildings in the capital instead of on the people's needs? Yeah, his predecessor was just as crazy, if not CRAZIER than he was.

That's so stupid. It wasn't a record of "largest cake with an image of someone falling off a horse," it was a record for the largest marble cake and also they decided to put that picture on it. The previous record they have on their website has an image and text on it too, but they still list it simply as the largest marble cake.
LUIS RUELAS I mean was Guinness book of world records really concerned with the families and children? No, they were concerned with alienating a dictator that pays them a lot of money for all of those ridiculously stupid records that he’s set.
Guiness World Records: "Our brand is aligned with kids and families." Also Guiness World Records: "Hey kids, wanna hear about the oldest male stripper?"
My favorite thing about that excuse is that they were saying "we want to be kid-friendly" to deny a record for LARGEST MARBLE CAKE that featured A GUY FALLING OFF A HORSE. How is that not kid-friendly enough!? What, does Kim Jong-un have to come down there and make it himself?
Yes, this is all true. All that you said, I myself was born in Turkmenistan. His head is not all right. We do not want this dictator. Thanks for the video clip author.

@@JdDiehl They were not speaking to you specifically. They were replying to Sam Bam (Without @'ing them) who posted something about Rudy Guliani's hair on your comment two weeks ago.
Even though this is four years old, I still remember this man’s name, and occasionally when I’m sleeping, I whispered to myself “Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow”
I love how the official Guinness World Records website page for the World's Largest Marble Cake a) still lists the 1,600 sqft cake from 2017 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia AND b) is the only page I could find with comments disabled
I lived in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan for a year. A very, very, very bizarre experience. The people were great! Can't say enough about their demeanor and hospitality. Those white marble clad buildings are basically completely empty since none of the people can afford to live in them.
This is by far my favorite episode. It has it all. Attacking an authoritarian, a big company and it all ends in some weird stunt only Oliver and his team could come up with. I love it
You can't go into the country anyway. Even North Korea allows in the occasional western tourist who is happy to partake in a westworld-like experience for a cheap slumming thrill. Turkmenistan doesn't want any tourists. Keeping the population totally brainwashed and cowered is worth forgoing a few measly tourist dollars to them.
John missed out on a great joke. "Not only is Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov a brutal dictator. His surname sounds like he's from a proud family of hamburger makers who only use bird meat. Sorry Tweety but the Berdimuhamedov family has a reputation to uphold."
And last month Serder appointed Gurbanguly as the new chairman of the people's council. New laws were almost immediately set in place making the council the "supreme organ of state authority" and thereby putting Gurbanguly back in charge.
@@zb3495 Looking as he's apparently the chairman of the people's council, with the council now getting most of the power, I think this is a Medvedev level of change (ie zero change)
I know all the other late night hosts are annoyed with Oliver for winning all the awards while having a premium cable budget at his disposal, no censorship, and a whole week to produce a half hour show. But you gotta admit he makes good use of these things.
The "Only if I was Horse" is one of my favorite jokes John's ever done. I don't know why, but the sheer earnestness of the joke and his delivery just makes me chuckle every time.
So I was at this taping and I will say they had so much freaking cake. Everyone in the audience went home with a cake sized cake “slice” and the the cake the audience got was actually just leftover excess that wasn’t even on the cake shown. Btw. It was a vanilla chocolate marble sheet cake made by Magnolia Bakery NYC. Absurdly good tasting too even with them making literally acres of this cake...
Thank you, I've been wondering what the cake tasted like for -over- exactly 2 years. "Happy" 2 years to this video. There are probably people who would call bs on your comment, but you give enough details that I'm inclined to believe you. Besides, it's inevitable that one of the dozens/hundreds/thousands of audience members would comment on this video sooner or later.
I don't think I've ever been as jealous of anyone as I am of you right now... Two episodes of the show that I'd have killed to be on - this one and the legendary SLAPP suits episode...
I was a bit part of the Guiness largest twister game. Although, Guiness denied the claim because we made the twister mat with canvas and not the original material twister is made from. Not long after the record was given to a university group in the U.S. They stitched twister mats together and was approved for the record. Our twister mat was 5 times bigger....
Let us not forget, Oliver is also the man who owns the rights to all currently existing footage of "dogs with fake paws dressed up in supreme court regalia". Talk about privileged.
I will now forever remember the largest cake with a picture of a man falling was done by last week tonight team we dont need some shady company for this
I think it was actually the largest marble cake in the world, without the world leader falling from A horse part.. For a record that specific i reccon he could have just make a regular size cake, I don't think there are many other cakes depicting world leaders falling from Horses
I stopped watching and started looking for this comment right after the next joke (he calls the leader a horse f*cker or something). The audience goes quiet with the drones joke and goes off for his next mildly funny joke about the the foreign leader.
@@user-hh2is9kg9j No, it wasn't. This show is filmed like six days inn adviance execpt the smaller stories that may be "on the fly"... a main story has been researched and rehearsed for months.
@@user-hh2is9kg9j If you had been in the audience for one of these show, you'd know they do multiple takes of each line, even if the got it "right" just to make sure the editor has something to work with. Every time they cut away from John, consider that a new take, and expect a new show to have been a 3+ hr recording, for a 45 min show.
Can you not see this for what it is? This is state propaganda. I'm sure this dictator is not a good guy, but the entire piece was an ad hominem and a straw man. John just threw in some random, non-specific dictator cliche accusations and called him a "horse fucker" for 20 minutes. My guess is a new puppet government is going to be installed and if you even hear about it, you will think, "oh is that the horse fucker's country? Glad he's gone." Instead of, "why are we violating another country's sovereignty?" Meanwhile, the empire has acquired another country's resources for pennies on the dollar assuring it's citizens are in perpetual poverty like everywhere else that we've tampered with.

"Four years later" lmao did you think John Oliver was going to shut it down? Of course they're still running things. Why wouldn't they be? Who's stopping them? RUclips is the home of commenters who don't give anything half a thought before posting lmao
I love how Berdimuhamedov is so profoundly weird we just completely glossed over the fact that Turkmenistan has a giant fire pit known as the gateway to Hell, because he was driving around it in a truck to prove he's alive.
Can we just appreciate how John's writing team can plan all these separate hilarious parts of the ending shenanigans to flow together so well that i physically wiggle with joy as he starts to near the big reveal Also a big part of that John's serious deadpan with a sprinkling of childlike levels giddy in his delivery. "Who wants some fucking cake?!" *Me screaming at my phone* Fuck yes I want some cake!
Thank you, John. God bless you. You are the hero of the Turkmen people. You will be remembered in Turkmen history forever. While we trapped here under his oppression at least you made us laugh.
John is doing baby steps. EX: he SHOULD"ve pointed out that GBWR are NOW INTERNATIONAL CRIMINALS under INTERNATIONAL LAW, since they admit to aiding and abetting a murderous dictator's PROPAGANDA MACHINE. EX: he SHOULD've pointed out that AMERIKKKA jails more journalists than any other nation, and has more forced labor than anywhere else. (Oh right: john is paid by America BIg Business!)
I would say that while he does bring light on important issues, I would recommend doing your own research. He can barely scratch the surface due to the length of TV shows but he is a good step in the right direction.
Imagine being one of the audiences who gets to bring a portion of the cake home, and later tell your family that you're having 1% of the Turkmenistan leader's most embarrassing moment for dessert.
"Admit it, when I said earlier 'our main story concerns Turkmenistan,' you did not expect the show to end 20 minutes later with me standingnext to the world's largest marble cake depicting a guy falling off a horse!" I've been watching this show for five years. I may not have expected that precise thing, but I definitely knew it was a not-unlikely possibility. Please never ever get any less absurd, John Oliver.
Guinness already tweeted tonight complaining about this piece so I'm sure they're going to enjoy the rebuttal when they're the actual focus instead of being tangentially related.
No,he would mock them in their faces,which is far worse. Or are you saying that John Oliver doesn't have integrity and is doing this just out of spite.

"Today, our dear leader ensured the stability of the planetary alignments by wearing his special bath robe. More on his glorious powers after these two commercials."
"President Equus here likes horses, but do horses like him? The answer is, and this is a direct quote, is "Neigh."" Give whoever wrote that joke a freaking raise. That was hilarious.
@@christinal5 "Neigh" is a direct quote from a horse, because horses say "neigh" so he's not technically wrong, he also uses it to indicate that horses say "no" when asked if they like him.
Sorry Vea but that's a long established horse pun in the UK where "nay" is still used. It goes along with the classic joke A man walks into the doctor's office. What seems to be the matter asks the doctor. I am feeling a little hoarse doctor. Oh really. Well trot over here so I can take a look at you.
@@DanmerZzz I'm WITH YOU ON THIS. THIS NUTJOB DICTATOR is the entertainer who thrilled us most in this episode. [author goes out and buys the dictator's rap album...]
I keep coming back to this. It's one of my favorite Oliver segments. A perfect encapsulation of the aesthetic of authoritarians and authoritarian states. Reality is a better warning than the bravest and most perceptive dystopian literary effort that anyone could ever dare to offer up.
@Andrew Sokolowski - so what?! They had those reserves regardless. This leader deserves a pat on the back? He deserves life in prison just for being an embarrassment to the human race. He's a fuckin insecure man/ CV child, like trump, and deserves slow dismemberment. I can only imagine what he does to his own people.

Honestly, I did NOT expect this story to turn into an expose on Guinness World Records acting as PR for autocracies.
Srsly.
Yes, it was a turn most of us did not see coming.
My expectations were definitely subverted.
So I was at this taping and I will say they had so much freaking cake. Everyone in the audience went home with a cake sized cake “slice” and the the cake the audience got was actually just leftover excess that wasn’t even on the cake shown.
Btw. It was a vanilla chocolate marble sheet cake made by Magnolia Bakery NYC. Absurdly good tasting too even with them making literally acres of this cake...
I thought there was no way a cake that size would taste very good. John Oliver fucking cares.
Thank you, I've been wondering what the cake tasted like for -over- exactly 2 years. "Happy" 2 years to this video.
There are probably people who would call bs on your comment, but you give enough details that I'm inclined to believe you. Besides, it's inevitable that one of the dozens/hundreds/thousands of audience members would comment on this video sooner or later.

Instead of, "why are we violating another country's sovereignty?"

On the basis that it was merely an opportunity to mock one of our record-holders, we declined. It is our policy not to partake in any activities which may belittle their achievements or subject them to ridicule.
