Man if that only worked.... Le sad face
Amen to that!
Teach us about what's REALLY going on Jin Oliver!
bruh same.
I saw the typo after i posted it but figured nobody would read it 🤕
I’m never clicking another one until they include the date in the title. I don’t trust them anymore!!
Salmon Cannon is still one of my favourite segments ever - just, the way they got all those people from different networks together to participate in something ultimately meaningless but most definitely joyful.
Definitely some season finale-worthy effort right there 🙏
One of the best bits in tv history
As a Washingtonian, I am so proud.
Also I love salmon!
Salmon Cannon and Eat Shit Bob are segments that will live on as long as there is a TV set or a computer.
Definitely disgusting.
It is 2024…. World is being torn apart by wars, pandemic and greedy people in government and corporations. But fish cannon still reminds us- humanity still can do great things.
The pandemic ain’t around anymore but all that other stuff yeah
All Washingtonians should be proud... this is truly emblematic of our state.
Or stupid things.
Man interferes with everything that is natural because of their greed
@@TimmyTheTinmanIt just went into remission. The threat of another pandemic is still there.
Guys I went and looked up all the links John gave us and holy sh*t it is still up and it's still funny years later.
Damm really? That's good shit
They actually explained this later, but every time they make a fake URL for a website, LWT and HBO legally have to buy it and keep it running.
i was also shocked they're still live lmao
I cannot believe that this is the first time I've seen that fish cannon bit! I laughed so hard it hurt! Thank you so much, LWT team, for gifting us these old episodes for free here on RUclips. You've legitimately made my whole month!
the fish cannon segment had always been available on youtube
@@zumabbar that doesn't mean everyone has seen it
@@adam45zthat also didn't mean i said what you said
THEIR THEME SONG HAS LYRICS!? How have I gone ten years without knowing that?
So glad i found this comment lol i never would have guessed it
I caught that at the end and it blew my mind too
Anyone know if the full version with lyrics is available anywhere? (I'd love it if I could find it on Spotify/Apple Music/etc but even an unmarked audio file on some decade old webpage would be cool too, I just want to hear the full song!)
@@jessaminemanchester go by valley lodge
The song is Go by Valley Lodge
He looks so young. So happy.
He hasn’t learned what we’ve all learned yet
@@oliverisenberg1862or his future self.
So long ago
John oliver being free to watch on RUclips! A match made in heaven!
I need everyone to know about the Survive The Sound fish tracking game. Every year, scientists in Washington State microchip some salmon to track their journey to Puget Sound. These fish are then given names and cartoon avatars. Some of my favorites are Brian Mackerel, Sergeant Snackbar, and Floundry10.
Businesses (usually local and/or fish-related, but not always) can sponsor a fish. For example, Floundry10 was obviously sponsored by Foundry10. This funds the restoration of salmon habitats.
Some teachers also have their students sign up and pick a fish to track on their journey. When I was in high school, I picked Forest, who, if I remember correctly, got eaten by a sea lion at one of the dams that the salmon cannon helps fish across.
This year, Survive The Sound begins on May 6th.
thank you for this info!! :D im so glad i know about this now
Once again, humanity is screwing around with an animal that has its homing function that took millions of years to evolve totally screwed over to accommodate us
I was curious as to whether or not the Mike Bloomberg sites he mentioned near the beginning were still up or not, so I checked
All 3 remain online, all these years later.
Amazing.
Yay, I checked and you’re right!
Ten whole years have passed of me being an avid watcher of the RUclips clips of this show and *this* is the first time I've heard that there are LYRICS to the theme??
Sidenote: I'm oddly emotional seeing a 10 years younger dancing John
The actors keeping a straight face after getting fished was funny
I have sat here while working from home, with this playlist going since yesterday. Sad I have hit the end. Can't wait for the next season to get uploaded.
Been doing the same, and was just thinking the same thing.
Throwback to when Seth did a standing monologue
And Colbert doing a Report!!
And Jon Stewart on The Dai-oh wait no nevermind.
Throwback to when Seth was in a suit.
The salmon cannon is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
And everyone that got fish smacked kept a straight face....but I'd bet the outtakes are side splitting funny.
S1 E24 (aired November 9, 2014)
John Chessant, we salute you!
o7
One of the best 30 minutes of tv there is.
Imagine buying a ‘98 Mazda for $2500 today. Wild
This was the craziest part for me lol take me back
My mother remembers when Washington state lottery started and is still very disappointed the money they said was going to the schools STILL hasn't made it to the schools.
So this is the episode that started the bit of buying random URLs… incredible!
From Oregon. I remember when the lottery, and state gambling, first started. I was pushed as a way to fund schools. Since then, legislation has siphoned that money off to so many other things, that education is getting a pittance from Oregon Lottery.
I love the salmon cannon bit! 😆 🤣 😂
Ready to rewatch season 2!!!
Still classic with the salmon canon. I can just hear the call: “You guys wanna be on HBO?”
I remember pretty much all of Season 1 well! I was teaching English in Prague at the time. I had a few groups of students who worked at an organization that ran a lottery there (Now I remember the name - Sazka), and I showed them part of this episode in class for listening practice and discussion.
Please tell me you showed them the Salmon Cannon segment!
@@ultimatehawkeyefangirl I probably did at some point. I had a lot of classes and showed several clips from Last Week Tonight and the Colbert Report over the years. They were great for starting discussions with advanced-level adult students.
When I first moved to Michigan, I tried to find public transparency documents on the lottery. Couldn't find them. Mind-boggling to think the state runs an organization that manages billions with so little accountability.
I’m ready for season two to drop! 😊
It feels like I haven't seen this episode for 10 years!
Did i really just binge all of season 1 in one day!
Couldn't wait for this next episode
i mean it came out a decade ago so you could have just went and watched it
The commitment to the bit
THIS IS A GEM I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!!!
It is SO amazing to have these shows available on RUclips!
JOHN OLIVER speaks the brutal truth hilariously!
Wait does the LWT song have lyrics?! It’s had lyrics this whole time?!!
Well, I just finished watching the entire season 1. Thank you for this. Here's hoping for LWT to do this some more.
That is one hell of a salmon cannon!
That fish cannon bit has me rollin in my bed at 6am!!! The look on some of those actors' faces was priceless! Wamda Syke's "WTH?" was timeless. How were those soap opera actors able to keep straight faces when the fish hit her in the face during their dramatic moment? I wanted it to go on forever... LOL!
🦈 🦈 🦈
if I won the lottery I'd buy a whole cart of groceries and not worry about the cost.
Truly one of the absolute BEST shows on the airwaves today
AMAZING WRITERS!!
thank you thank you
💙💙💙
🎉 make old uploads great again! Lol watching the ones I missed (most of them)
Wait wait wait...the show theme has lyrics?
Didn't know the Salmon Canon was this early. With so many cameos I thought It was at least at season 2 bit
They need to revisit the Salmon cannon in this time of war.
Wow! Those sites are still active. 😄
Salmon cannon is perfect. *chef's kiss*
The fingers crossed in green and white was the old logo for Virginia in the early 90's
I have so many things I need to warn 2014 John Oliver about...
I can't with the Salmon bit!!! 🤣👌
The fish launching had laughing so hard.
I started watching this show routinely 5 years ago. I was only 13 when it started… so understandably was not watching this. I am very happy to be watching season one for the first time.
Thank you for uploading the entirety of season 1 from a current HBO subscriber! 🧡💛🧡
The real tragedy is that they don't bring the Salmon cannon back every episode.
This is so awesome, I get to watch the ones I've missed!
I can't believe they showered John Oliver with fake salmon for the halibut.
This makes my day I love the hustle John
All praise the glorious Salmon Cannon!😂
The Oregon Lottery money is going to schools, but the legislature removed school funding from the state budget.
Jet Force 5!!! Even w the salmon blasts. Where were you on this Kimmel?
Funnily enough two states I've lived in have been in the liquor business
Notably in Virginia you could *only* buy hard liquor at state owned stores called the "ABC" and yes they did advertise it as the money going to things like education
PA has state stores and absolutely no alcohol in convenience stores. Some grocery store chains use a loophole about having restaurants and seating to be able to sell beer and wine. Current governor is in favor of loosening the prohibition-era laws.
So great! Thank you for sharing it again 😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best use of fake salmon.
craziest thing is how true John Oliver is to his sense of humor over time. the style hasnt changed much cuz it didn't have to... quality journalist + quality humor in a weird unique John Oliver kind of way!
I will never be over the RBG chihuahua
John, you are so funny. You just crack me up.
I can't believe I've really been watching him for so long, time is meaningless, long live the salmon cannon
The Danube Waltz was made for fish cannon
The salmon bit is like a time capsule of a specific era of tv
No one:
Me: " I have a Salmon cannon.."
I'm ready for Season 2 now please
I miss this format of the show.
Still adore LWT, but this was the best iteration of the format imo.
Does anyone know when we can expect the next seasons to drop?
Even though I have seen ALL of them already, when they were aired, I really can't wait to watch them again. This is such great entertainment!
In an interview he said they’d drop a new season each time they take a week off
We will never be able to unsee a raw rotisserie chicken strip dancing
A National Treasure for all topics he and his staff, Paws of Justice, and more cover. When the EP ended with the year 2015 I checked my 2024 calendar and died a little inside. Thanks for making Sundays so very worth looking towards for so long, even if I'm ancient
I came here for the fish cannon.
The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.
Wait: were there lyrics being sung to the theme song, there at the end? Amazing! I wanna know them and sing them every time!!
I found it! It’s “Go!” by Valley Lodge, and it’s fun! Ha ha!
The funniest thing Jimmy Fallon's ever done.
Salmon F'ing Cannon.
I need Season 2 now.
That when you know you have friends in the industry when you can interject into their show for a gag
The fish cannon was the best use of fish as props since Monty Python's legendary Fish Slapping Dance bit.
The theme song having words will never not be funny.
The Mario batali fish throw hits different today
I require a small documentary about how to get got the salmon bit to work. I have so many questions.
The '98 Mazda 626 has those swinging vents in the dashboard. Can recommend.
Lol if I ever win the lottery or hit a jackpot, I would want to stay anonymous to but I wouldn’t go in with a bag over my head 😂 I know a lot of people who will attempt to take advantage of me or only notice me when they need my hand and company
Damn this crazy
The guy from Gaza hits different now. He was literally scare for his live😮
The full intro song is 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you LWT for uploading the entire first season! I hope for more but either way, I will NOT pay HBO for this show.
Love you john.
Actually in Alabama alcohol tax supposedly goes directly to education 🤣. I'm sure nothing bad happens between taxation and allocation of the funds😂.
Is it just me or is that the first and only time I’ve heard the lyrics for the LWT theme lol
I hope we don't have to wait a year for the second season to be released in its entirety
I'm not sure how the Mega Millions could be addictive if you're addicted to losing every single time
As a 99' Mazda owner I strongly agree with John
I know someone who totally beat the odds and won two major Kansas lotteries, I don't even think more than two years apart. Like major major wins in the Millions each! Family that he didn't even know came after him since they publicized it and showed his face even though he didn't want that to happen. They came out of the Woodworks wanting money from him having every reason in the book that they needed it and guilt tripping him and because he was a nice old man with no real family Beyond once he didn't know he wanted to help out. He ended up dying maybe 10 years later or less completely broke because he didn't know how to say no. You should not be able to win multi millions of dollars or even half a million dollars without required psychiatric therapy going along with your win as the majority of humans who win this, who aren't already wealthy, do not know how to handle it
After watching multiple season one episodes recently, it ‘s just amazing how history is repeating itself. Different years, different presidents, but it still feels current in 2024.
Season 2, pleeease.
