I just looked up Pepe Julian Onziema, to find out how he's doing these days. "As of 2020, he has found acceptance throughout his community, attending village elder meetings being embraced as "the son he truly is." And he's still fighting for LGBT rights!
THANK YOU! Otherwise I might have had to look it up myself. And I am glad that this gnarly survivor was still fighting the Good Fight. Ocrap it's 2024... I guess I'll check in anyway.
Meanwhile Assad is still doing Assad things. Snakes and bees were a mirage. Scorpions were at least honest from the start.
What an amazing combination of hilarity and horror. Onziema is awesome.
Hell yeah! Great to hear. One of the rare cases he covers with a hopeful follow up a decade later..except for the insane evangelicals still pushing their hate speech, somehow thinking their Jesus loves vicious hatred, bigotry and intolerance. Bible also says don't eat shellfish 14 more times than don't be gay but they don't seem to push those views. Lunatics shouldn't be allowed anywhere near lawmaking
Fantastic, thank you so much for checking!
OMG. I didn't know John got to talk to the activist from the famous "Why are you gay" meme. The episode aged like wine
Tall blonde white aliens exist.
I had nearly forgotten, sorry doesn't cut it! The man got hospitalized had nearly lost his hearing and as 2019 been arrested or detained 7 times! His activism is so important! Thank you Pepe Julian Onziema, for loving your country enough to try to make it better!
What an incredible man he is!!!
Are you?
"Why are you gay?" Will forever be one of the most hilarious interview questions.
Look at him. So young, so full of energy.
He's beautiful, fully awake, and ready to be crushed by the futility of modern society.
John or Pepe?
@@ceciletillerot403 Both? Both. Both is good. (Not really.)
I love the idea of companies having a mid life crisis in their late 30s-40s because they realize they are going to die soon
Hey team LWT: Is it possible to put the original air dates in the description? Thanks for all you do!
Please! This would really help put everything into context.
Definitely! I find myself guessing a lot n curious how close I am
Who at LWT is up at 1:30 AM uploading season 1? I’m so grateful
That’s day time in Africa, so it’s probably the swarm of bees and snakes
youtube scheduling to give a serious answer
Who is the new host? He's so young and vibrent. I didn't think Oliver's kids were this old but there is a clear family resemblance.
😂😂😂😂
i think he is John Oliver's youngest grandson!
Yo, it’s the first season. It’s still John just from the past! I know it’s spooky lol
@@shaggy1792... that was the joke.
That's John Oliver himself silly! He's just using CGI de-aging to spare us from witnessing the cruel ravages of time so clearly
Okay just going to say this here since you can't comment on a playlist as a whole, but thank you to whoever made this an ordered playlist. These weren't uploaded in order and I know that probably wasn't anyone's fault but it made it a pain for my dyslexic ass to find the episodes in order. Having a fun time watching these again!
They also made a playlist, which is ordered.
John Oliver uploading full episodes of Season 1 to remind us that he was once a fresh and young bloke😅
he's a bit of a silver fox now.
A bit? 😏😏
@@ThatBlackGirlMagic I'm trying to tone it down instead of just outright calling him a sexy grandpa
Who else is binge watching all of Season 1 full episodes?
Everyone!
I love that every time I open RUclips there’s just another S1 episode in the homepage and I just start watching it
Yo mama.
meeeee
Also Me.
If anyone from HBO sees this, you should put the link to the extended interviews in the description or as a pinned comment. I would love to see more Pepe, Stephen Hawking, etc
And the original air date. It's literally called "Last Week Tonight." What the last week was is sort of relevant information.
He showed the restraint and patience of a true Saint in that interview holy shit.
Have boycotted HL ever since that ruling... the blatant smuggling of artifacts from Iraq came earlier but I didn't find out until their case before SC put them in the hot seat.
Same. I'm a crafter and a sewer, but I refuse to go to them for even a gluestick at this point. Companies should not be able to force the founders' religious views on their employees. Sickening.
I've never stepped foot inside a Hobby Lobby and I never will. I am pagan and I love birth control. 3 kids is enough Dammit!
Same
Thank you for sharing Uganda interview.
S1 E9 (aired June 29, 2014)
You're doing John's work.
Thank you. I wish the airing date was clearly stated in the "show description," Definitely can't go by the posted date.
The interview with Pepe Julian Onziema is one my faves from LWT. Not the funniest, but I love hearing activists talk about their work
As I rewatch all of these nightly to fall asleep - and we have mooooore
Pepe Julian Onziema, what a king.
That 'pls don't be a terrorist' aged well.. Too well..
I love waking up to my Last Week Tonight and was heart broken there wasn’t a new episode. Thank goodness I can have one I haven’t seen today.
Thanx for the replay's!! I missed quite a few!! Love the show!
I need a reminder about Hobby Lobby. I live too close to one, and actually bought a few things on a good sale, knowing damn well I shouldn't.
If Eve was created from Adam, what was Adam when *he* still had his female side? No offense meant; it's rhetorical unless someone makes it personal. The guest, Pepe Julian Onziema (?) is wise and strong - and is still out there upholding the rights of LGBTQ folks (Wikipedia, March 2024). Wishing blessings on him.
So I did a little research about Mr. Onziema. He's still very active in LGBT rights in Uganda, and has suffered violence because of it. He's been detained 7 times, and was once assaulted so badly he lost hearing in one of his hears and had to be hospitalized. But as of 2020 he's become a respected activist in Uganda, and is highly respected in his village and his community.
Hobby Lobby is the biggest hypocrite! They claim to have "Christian" values but they force their workers to endure life threatening conditions. I regularly see Hobby Lobby workers balancing at the top of a 20 foot ladder, trying to place HEAVY inventory items on a high shelf. If they fell from that height, it would cause serious injury or even death. Hobby Lobby also humiliates the women who labor there, by surveillance of their every move. Its like working at a prison camp. They also buy their inventory from manufacturers who use child labor, in inhumane conditions.
This is one terrific show. Thank you bringing on the Uganda fellow. Not to mention break-dancing Abe!
I wish the original air date was given so we had some context of when this was happening. In this episode, John mentions its 2014, but would be great to start the episode with the date or if the ones uploading this online put it in the description box.
i was thinking the same thing! much needed context.
I agree but meanwhile I just Google when did this episode air and the answer was June 22, 2014.
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and WV.
The rest of the nation is staring at you.
…At least West Virginia is beautiful. …almost heaven.
Blue Ridge Mountains...
This episode is incredible, kudos to Pepe!
so grateful it’s all here now❤
Thank you for uploading these. Excellent move!
His humor has gotten a lot better
This recap made me look up Pepe, and so so so relieved and happy to see he's doing fantastic!
Thank you for releasing the entire first season from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
If Martin Ssempa seems familiar, it's because he's the Eat Da Poo Poo guy.
This religious manipulation of federal policies goes against the Establishments Claim, and the Free Exercise Clause of freedom of Religion, not to mention more than a dozen rulings by the Supreme Court dating all the way back to 1878, in which the supreme court ruled "Although your freedom to believe is absolute, your freedom to act upon those beliefs is not."
I wish the description had the original air date included.
It’s depressing 10 years later nothing has changed, what’s more depressing listening to billy Joel we didn’t start the fire and 40 plus years later not much has changed
It was rulings like this that opened the door for over the counter birth control and business like NURX. So thanks, Hobby Lobby.
I literally can't get enough of this show. Sorry, productive tasks.
Original Airdate: Sun, Jun 29, 2014
I don’t plan on going to Hobby Lobby ever so lol
This throws me back
"Sorry doesn't cut it." 😂
Keep up the fight!!
6:42 I have to wonder how John and the writers of this joke feel now that Ben & Jerry's now does just sell ice cream free edible cookie dough
I think there's merit to revisit some of these cases to see where they are now. Also, I totally forgot that there was an interview segment. While it's great to see John talk to guests in person, I do appreciate the current version where the team can really deep dive into the weekly topics.
1:52 "A shawarma fell in my mouth"
Holy shit i kinda wish he had guests more. This is awesome
Those that yell the loudest are the ones fighting their own urges.
12:20 I'd say it's at least as likely to be Alabama as Mississippi. We may even get to find out which state is last if SCOTUS has their way.
WHAT the FUCK, SCORPIONS?!!!
Citizens United is disgusting
Also, can I ask, can you include the original airdate for these stories/epis in the description?
Tbh i have such big respect for the lovely Mr Onziema ❤ he was very muted with his countrymen in the interview with them, because they are all victims of a forced belief in all of this, but when he speaks to John, then "sorry doesn't cut it" because a sorry from him makes no difference to his everyday experience in this day and age, and I love that he didn't accept that sorry ❤
What? John is Benjamin Buttoning!?!
But I want to watch the extended interview!?
i wish the descriptions included the original air date 😕
I think Pepe said, "Sorry doesn't cut it" for 2 reasons: 1.) It's probably not safe for him to say something like that to someone in the Ugandan media (even in a joking way) and, 2.) He likely blames America and other western countries more for the homophobia in Uganda than his own people (and rightly so).
Gay marriage has only been legal for 9 years. I forgot how recent that was.
22:34 finally the context
Corporations should only get to have ONE Congress member. Say wherever the headquarters resides is the district
Omg biting.😂 Dang I thought Mike Tyson was bad. Lol
I was like... "Oh! Did John do something different with his hair? Dyed it back to black?... he looks younger too... nevermind. I remember this episode. Precovid when we were all young." 😂😂 This is such a great episode though.
does john do little characterslike this anymore? i feel like its way more rare now
If you want to fix gay rights just take the government out of marriage. It should be a personal decision that the government has no involvement in whatsoever.
how would that fix gay rights? the primary problem gay people are facing is persecution and discrimination, not issues related to marriage
Exactly. Just like abortion. None of the government's business. Or the general public either.
I just wanted to say thanks LWTwJO
Where's the extended interview
1:00
Hey tasted like Pasta, that's why!
nothing really changes
I don't know why but dumping all these episodes onto RUclips kinda makes me feel like the world is getting ready to end...
Oh the sacred cow Hobby Lobby
I dont understand, how is full series like this having lower viewcount than the one specifically edited for youtube (the cue would be John's `Moving On...`?
The 2024 new episodes that release on this channel can't be watched in the United States and other places where a legitimate way to watch them, like max, is available. That's why the trimmed down video gets more views. It's the only video that United States and other places can see and watch.
adding to Zwiki22 responds
they also posted all of season 1 at the same time, which is something that the youtube algorithm does not really like. so that might also be part of the reason for a lower view count
Awesome Guest
Getting free people is tight.
I don't want my tax dollars going to that.
Corporation issues aside, if someone takes issue with contraception on religious grounds, then I think they should rethink their religion. Trying to block access to contraception is monumentally stupid and will not have whatever positive effect you think it will.
1:30
Whooo, Ajax made its way into LWT!
12:06 I remember when the slippery slope a called a fallacy.. look at us now
For a second I was wondering if they de-aged John
There’s nothing wrong with beets
Amen! Their tops are chard, the golden ones are yummy with goat cheese, and the red ones can be made into sugar. What's not to like, John?
Gosh, how old is this? John still had all black hair, no grey yet.
Who else noticed Krystal Ball?
Pepe is a Ugandan patriot.
This episode originally aired June 29, 2014
This was 10 years ago?? Why does it look like 20 years....
@johnoliver please do an update on this story!
Back when Syria was in the mainstream 😢
I absolutely love it's all here but it should have been once a week.
The next non-elected person that starts a sentence with "I don't want my tax dollars paying for..." Had better just run for Congress after they finish that sentence.
Babe, wake up, old LWT is out!
All fun and game until Pastah Sempe whips out the vegetables
When I was in 5th grade I was playing soccer and bit a kids ear. I had a lot of emotional problems. I wonder what it is about soccer that makes one want to bite another.
Ok he was sued in 2016, won on a technicality but judge said he broke international law. A new anti gay law was passed in 2023 in Uganda so the same Ugandan sexual minorities group is suing him again, court case is this fall. Hope they win.
Aint this a reupload? I swear I've already seen this from last year.
It's from 10 years ago 😅
Bruuh, all this time i thought that intervju meme was a joke. 😮😮😮
Be humble and honest. My take-away.
Whats going on
