Greetings John Oliver, we are currently looking for a Prime Minister for the THIRD TIME since this video. Are you still available? Hugs and kisses From Italy
@@petrichor259 Because we never know who we want or what we want; we just follow the party whose leader has been the most on TV in search of a strong leader who makes us feel safe, until we realize things are not as simple as they depicted, and that everyone has their own responsibilities as part of a social system, so we have to find another one...

Dear John, I'm an italian 18 year old boy who's voting for his first time. How good is that? Now, you seem to understand the awful Fasta Frimavera we're on, so please, PLEASE, save us from destruction (or Berlusconi (or both)). P.S. I'd probabily vote for you man ...and I shouldn't be thinking this...
Whether you turn to, you just find people who, in good conscience, shouldn't even be running in politics, really. So, at the end of the day, it does looks like John is our least ridiculous candidate.
Abhishek Jain Man, we are basically screwed. Our chooses are: -a guy who resembles Sid from the Ice Age (Renzi), -a man whose party used to proclaim that northern Italy should be indipendent until they realized that people in the south can vote too (Salvini), -a rapist whose only difference with Trump is his hair-color (Berlusconi), -a former baby whose only attitude is insulting anyone else (Di Maio). Ohh yes, I'm hoping to hide in a grave. Very soon.
Man, I´m sorry for you, this must be nervewrecking AF. :( BUT as crazy as it sounds..... to be able to vote for John Oliver, thanks to a loophole, could be an opportunity for your generation to show that you have had it with this political system. I know I´m kind of a dreamer but... pleeeeaaaase don´t get yourself an italien Hitler. The italian youth has to stop this nightmare, man. :/ I believe in you!
I've always found Italian politics baffling. From the sheer number of parties and the positions covering a huge range of philosophies to the turnover of prime ministers, it seems chaotic. Then there was/is Berlusconi. Irish comedian Dylan Moran said that he's so crooked he sleeps on a spiral staircase and that every time he smiles an angel gets gonnorhea.
Larry Wildman I honestly don't see the problem, everyone is entitled their opinions. It might be easier for me because I mostly agree with him, but - although his political opinions are blatant, as you say - he joked also on left and "neither left nor right" parties. Plus, I don't think that despising racial/sexual discrimination should be only a "leftist" thing.
Tracymmo I know, right? When it comes to Politics, in order to maintain your sanity, you have to pretend you are an alien and watch everything from the distance as if you were observing a totally different species doing their things.
But the far-right makes itself so easy to make fun of. Sure the left fucks up too (all the time, maybe even more often than the Right because "stay on course" fucks up less often than trying something new), but find me a leftist as easy to make fun of as Trump. I'm not a fan of the Corporate States of America, so the Democrats earn plenty of ire from me. Obama didn't manage to close Guantanamo... despite the fact that he easily could have in his last year when "bi-partisan cooperation" stopped needing to be applicable for the future. Then you look at Fox & Friends or Breitbart, and the near complete lack of facts instead of opinions couched as facts. I'm a centrist, and I'm a leftist in the USA! Honestly I hope the Republican Party's sub-groups implode and we can develop either an actual moderate party, or a center-left and center-right, by drawing off the moderates from the Democrats to join the moderate Republicans and neoconservatives. Leaving the Christian Right, Libertarians, and Traditionalists for the Republican Party, and the Socialists, Progressives, and Liberals to the Democrats. But that would probably require voting reform... which probably won't happen sadly.
As an Italian, I was just waiting for John Oliver to talk about us one day or another (we have had so much shit going down in recent years I wouldn't have been surprised if he talked about us more), and I was not disappointed. Now everyone can pretty much see how bad our situation is lol John as a Prime Minister would actually be a blessing, make it happen pls
EIGOProduction I wonder if he'll talk about the Africans that chop up people in the middle of the streets in italy. Or about the 120 db movement from germany.
The "Africans chopping people in the streets" is kinda a shocking but isolated fact. It's not the kind of topic a show like this can talk about for half an hour. If it was a trend with many many cases it would be maybe a different situation, but as for now it can't really be compared with more pressing matters that can actually have repercussions outside of Italy (like elections)
Saying that Italy will have an anti EU government because of a case of brutal murder by african people, like if that single fact would justify people like Salvini and the fascists rising in the streets, it's also propaganda. It's also well known we are kinda drowing in shit with immigrants, we can't receive them all, we don't have enough resources to manage them all, and other EU countries don't help us. All of these factors maturing in years and years are much more relevant (and less hate-polarizing) to why the right wing is gaining attention than single cases of violence by specific ethnic groups of people.
“Under the Italian law the governement coalition can pick a random jackass who has nothing to do with this campaign as Prime Minister” IT LITERALLY WENT THAT WAY!🙈
@@neilothee4966 Basically, no one. The Lega and M5S had an agreement and picked a "random jackass" as Prime Minister, because they had the majority of votes. Now they are "working together", the situation's pretty bad though

I love how John sometimes bring up false images of something and let us know a moment later it's false. That makes me think I should think twice, not just straight out believe anything, when I see something on TV.
While this sounds good, the problem is people use this concept as an excuse to never believe anything. People will flat out refuse to believe basic facts under the guise of "free thinking". Conspiracy theorists who claim things like Sandy Hook never happened also believe they're just being healthily skeptical of the news. Skepticism does not mean immediately labeling everything on the news a lie.

You're laughing now, John but let's see you keep that smile when you're elected president of Italy. I'm not Italian but I'd watch every public appearance you make that's broadcasted.
@frexers, e ha ragione. Non tutti, certo, ma ci sono corrotti (Berlusconi), e ci sono fascisti (Salvini e non solo). Ha specificatamente parlato di alcuni politici, non di tutto il popolo italiano
I wasn't aware that BreakingItaly is working for our great cause (i know the guy cause i used to watch it some years ago). I come from the super secret coup organization to seal our beloved great leader as supreme leader of our world.
Sometimes, on cool summer nights, I like to take long walks and ponder what the world might look like today if John Oliver had somehow been elected the prime minister of Italy.
As an Italian it's strange to see domestic politics made fun of by John Oliver. It puts everything in perspective with the rest of the world. And I didn't know Berlusconi had a volcano in his house!!! JOHN OLIVER FOR PRESIDENT!!!! PS Also, just on a sidenote, would this go on air in Italy, Bob Murray (from the Coal episode) would be the very least of his problems. He would have to lawyer up very badly! SAD...
Italian here. That was hilarious, but from a voter’s perspective it’s a tragedy. Anyway, although the volcano surely was interesting, I think it would’ve been worth noticing that while Berlusconi was our PM he managed to have the parliament pass almost 60 “laws of shame” that, amongst other terrible things, managed to avoid him being convicted for crimes he was on trial for and helped his own industries.
Carolin A. Really?? Berlusconi was the only one who survived an entire legislature? What the Fuck is wrong with you down there? This has to be some kind of miracle.
I'm Italian, and everything he said was actually accurate. I'm going to vote for the political elections for the first time this Sunday (I'm 19), and I'm really afraid that the coalition led by Berlusconi will win. The problem is that the left parties are too detached from the problems of the people, so many people are "forced" to turn to the right because it seems the only party that cares about them (not true - right parties would be a disaster for our country, and there are actually some good left parties that care about real problems, they're just too small to have a chance). Whatever the results will be, I hope that in the future we will do better. We Italians just have to stay strong and don't loose hope. Peace ✌️
Obviusly you guys have work to do. I mean, left leaning people who do not feel represented. It comes down to our generation, and to keep waiting for someone else to do it is not an option. We would argue about methods, but the time has come to get involved. It's the same work we have to do in Spain.
Non sei costretto a votare l'alleanza di destra, se non rispecchia le tue idee. Esiste l'astensione. Inoltre, questo programma è molto grottesco, ma non così accurato: calca molto sulle figure di merda e le immagini dei politici, nonché sulle notizie sui nostri problemi politici, ma finisce lì. Molto divertente e tutto, ma non rispecchia le modalità di voto, come si costruisce il nostro Parlamento (che andremo a votare) e non è neanche affidabile riguardo la posizione di Berlusconi (che, si spera saprai, è incandidabile!)
Trump is economically a business Democrat. He isn't pursuing hardly any social reform. He's just anti-mass unfettered immigration, which is totally reasonable at this point. Leftists are so fucking dumb, they want a populist welfare state, open borders and multiculturalism and they can't seem to conceptualize that those things can't exist simultaneously and be sustainable. Anyone with a brain can see this, but Leftists remain cognitively dissonant. Then they label anyone that points out the flaws in this logic and argues against it a fascist and a Nazi. It's unspeakably inane and juvenile.
I read the title and was like "We are SO going to get laughed at". Edit: Yay, they put "Menomale che Silvio c'è"!! I actually had it on my phone when I was in high school, the sheer level of trash improved my day.
Who's here after Conte resigned? (Also, I just realized that the governing coalition did, in fact, "pick a non-politician who's had nothing to do with this campaign so far", "some random jackass that Italy has never heard of". So let's hope they pick John Oliver this time!)
That is completely false. Italy is a parliamentary republic, not a presidential democracy, and that's why the prime minister is not elected. It doesn't compare in power or functions to the POTUS. Despite this fact Giuseppe Conte had plenty to do with the campaign because for the first time in our history, a party announced his government candidates before the elections, and therefore 5 star voters knew him, even though he took Di Maio's leading place.
Dario Pedicini you are right too bad Salvini didn’t know that Italy is a parliamentary republic. He should have done his homework instead of playing dj at the beach with dancing showgirls
As an Italian, everyday it's so difficult watching the news on Tv. You constantly feel angry, betrayed and tired of listening to the damn mess that is our political system.
Yuuya Shirazu come to Germany and Watch our TV, here they censor and blur the refugee crime and government scandals so you think except for your diesel car its all fine.
Yuuya Shirazu you can always come to America and laugh at our bumbling idiots in office. It's both hilarious and terrifying to see such morons with so much power and money.
I'm in America and I'm going to be voting age this year..... Try being a teen and not knowing what to believe because so much information is tampered with or fraudulent. I'm a minority too so I legit can't stand our political system its so bad it affects the education you recieve in certain areas and its just ridiculous and terrifying.

Is it a common phrase, or is everybody just acting like snobs? It seems to me like the host could just say he was close since the words were so similar anyway.
he downplayed the five star movement a lot, just passingly admitting "there are A LOT of things to like about the 5 Stars movement" but focusing on negative things and on the age of the candidate.. good thing that he said a lot about corruption in italy which is actually one of the first things 5 stars have been wanting to solve since they have been founded..this way he is basically encouraging not to vote which is a clear recipe for salvini and berusconi to get to power..he could have done better this time
I'm italian and, even if our political situation is so humiliating, nonetheless all you said is true and I can't stop laughing about your jokes!!! btw, John, you have my vote! please, save us all!!! If you win I will offer you as reward endless lasagnas

Michele08080808 every now and then each politician claims about an anti-corruption act, but the only party who actually did something was PD. That’s not enough yet, but is something for sure as a starting point. M5S voted against PD also when they proposed laws similar to M5S ones, just because were proposed by PD.
yes except that they just based much of their existence about this point as you surely know..PD did something? do you know anything about mafia capitale? pd was there after alemanno left.. do you know anything about conflitto d'interesse? do you know anything about de luca, a renzi sponsored regional strongman, and the scandal that is being covered up in campania? why did they not cancel the falso in bilancio laws from berlusconi? how can we say that a party like PD who has been governing for years and left things as they were did something against corruption when they did maybe the slightest minimum just after the m5s came into existence..if you want to be blind and leave your vote to crooks just do it
Update on Italy: the random jackass who had nothing to do with the campaign that was picked as Prime Minister by the government coalition (composed of 5 Stars and League) was picked again as Prime Minister after Salvini tried to take down the government last August and make the electors vote again due to projection polls showing him as favorite and 5 Stars (that of the two was the majority component) decided to make a new coalition with the Democratic Party. And yeah, before anyone asks, Berlusconi is still here, volcano and all.
Oh, so THAT'S what happened! With the rest of the world being on fire and the news being EXCLUSIVELY about Covid lately I had totally lost track of the political landscape. Same old, same old. Grazie mille, proteggiti come puoi, e buona giornata!
@@superpippo93x The "random jackass" choesen turned out to be better than the leaders italians could vote for, surprisingly. Or maybe unsurprisingly. Now Conte's second government is basically over, because Matteo Renzi exited the majority coalition (wait, wasn't Renzi supposed to be gone from politics forever? He said so before losing his referendum...). The majority coalition lacks 18 senators, leaving Italy in deep crap during a pandemic: Vaccinations campaign just started, ~209B€ from the EU Recovery Fund to invest in our future hopefully without wasting any of it. So we don't know what's going to happen yet. Will Conte get a third chance to govern italy by finding 18 random senators? Or will John Oliver step in to save us? Who knows! You'll find out on next episode of... ruclips.net/video/AeIyNHyeC4g/видео.html P.S.: To be completely fair, Conte isn't 100.0% random, as he was presented as a minister by M5S in the campaign before the 2018 election, although he was not and still isn't member of any party. But it was really funny to hear John Oliver "forseeing" that our prime minister would be chosen at "random".😂
@@LRTOTAL È stato sicuramente il male peggiore, difatti il problema non è sicuramente conte ma i parlamentari e senatori votati nel 2018, potrei fare una lista di persone che dovrebbero essere a spalare la neve anzichè avere potere, che siano di destra o di sinistra o dei 5 stelle Mamma mia che paese del cazzo
Silvia Contini why don't you just apoint that vespa to lead you? plus if you look on the bright side if the fascist Mary poppins gets in shoe box racing popularity will sky rocket, so it's not all bad.
WTF is up with world politics? Also, while I think John'd make an alright Italian prime minister, I think that Lord Buckethead would be equally, if not more qualified for the position of Italian prime minister.
Quick recap of what happened in Italy in these past 2 years: - elections resulted in a three-party victory which made really difficult to form an actual governement -5 star (33%) movement formed an alliance with far right party Lega(17%), putting G. Conte as prime minster - The alliance fell one and a half year later. Pact was broken by Lega, now at 34% in polls. Basically drained 5star electoral base - Renzi left the Democratic Party, creating a new small party, Italia Viva right after forming an alliance between DP(19%) and 5star to create a second governement, led by Conte - pandemic came and it was a huge mess - at the beginning of 2021, Renzi made the governement collapse for literally no apparent reasons. - after another hard three weeks, Mario Draghi (former BCE president) was called by our president to become prime minister. He's now leading a governement that is basically held together by all parties joined - far right wants to go to elections though. But here's the catch: parlament can't be sent home in the 6 months prior to the next President election. This period starts in August, so DP wants to hold on to avoid Legs and their alliance to elect the new president through the parliament. Curious to see what's gonna happen, while we are still in the middle of a pandemic and far right is probably going to crush everybody else in next elections..that should be in 2023..or not? Btw, 68 governements in 73 years, yay
Probably not the first to point this out but... not only is Di Maio only 31 years old but his one and only job before becoming a politician was being the snack guy at Napoli's soccer stadium. Soooo... you be the judge my friend.
Yeah, I've just checked. That's not true. He was an apprentice journalist, and worked as a webmaster (maintains websites) and also the drinks seller at that stadium. Still not great, but not entirely accurate.
ALSO: Berlusconi called Finnish food garbage, so when we beat Italy in an international pizza competition, we named our winning pizza "Berlusconi" just to spite him! :D
didn't everybody beat Italy in an international pizza competition? For a nation that invented pizza, Italians sure make shitty pizza. I had the worst pizza of my life in Napoli, followed closely by the second worst in Taormina, Sicily.
Lord Buckethead is great but I'm still waiting for the return of True Buckethead, our musician shredlord and savior of all chickenkind. Blessed be those that know of his mad nunchaku skills.
Italian here. Yes you are very far from our worst option but, technically, people in Italy DO NOT elect the prime minister, we elect the parliament. This means that, in the end, is the majority of the parliament that decide who the next prime minister is. Usually, parties express who the leader will be before the election, but is still a bit tricky. In the case of the Right parties coalition (Berlusconi and Salvini's parties are joining forces), Salvini says that he wants to be the president but Berlusconi opposes. So you see, you should convince representatives, not voters.
Very informative! So he would have less of a chance to get votes in this case. I was looking forward to the episode after the election in which he would count his votes but I think that a representative wouldn't seriously look at Oliver as a candidate.
It's impossible, here in Italy people can't write the name of the candidate. Under current law we can just make a cross on the symbol of the party. It's different for the Italians voting from foreign countries. But that's another story
Dear John Oliver, as a precious Italian voter (half of the nation does not give a fuck on elections because they don't trust politicians) i really appreciated your, not creative but dramatically realistic effort on this critical election. grazie mille!
There was a bit of exaggeration for comedy (expecially on the fascist part) but the gist is true. Next sunday we'll have to go to vote and we have three bad options. Which is one more than the american usually have, but that's a small consolation! :D
he downplayed the five star movement a lot, just passingly admitting "there are A LOT of things to like about the 5 Stars movement" but focusing on negative things and on the age of the candidate.. good thing that he said a lot about corruption in italy which is actually one of the first things 5 stars have been wanting to tackle since they have been founded..this way he is basically encouraging not to vote which is a clear recipe for salvini and berusconi to get to power..he could have done better this time
Michele08080808 This bit is intended to have an audience of people who can't vote in Italy: so the thing about discouraging to vote is pointless. Evidently we have different opinions on the 5 star movement: I actually think he went soft on them bc they have many things that worry me a lot.
which is not true at all as you are reading there are many comments from italians and the news is being translated on italian websites as we speak unfortunately as John probably expected.. he knows that some italian watch the show on youtube from the statistics of course
Michele08080808 I don't think people that could decide not to vote because John Oliver misleaded them are not educated enough to even know who he is, let alone follow him in english. I could decide vote for m5s but while they are probably still well intentioned they also are confused and incompetent.
Watching this almost 2 years after the 2018 election hilarious.😂 Also John are you still available to run for prime minister at our next elections? I would love to have you as our leader
That's exactly how it went. Both Salvini and 5Stelle won, forming a coalition and nominating a prime minister that didn't run for election and we never heard of ever before. Ciao from Italy ❤
You will never find pictures of that volcano because when he was prime minister he made it an official state secret. Not joking. Not even police can go there.
Tamaki742 that's like that now, too. Everyone sucks besides some minority parties, which won't probably make it even past the 3% required to enter Parliament.
Anankin12 Man, good luck, dude. To be fair, that's probably me after the next 5 years IF the incumbent president managed to get re - elected, which I hope happens because he's probably the best Indonesia has as a president right now. I really don't know who else to choose after him because everyone else is shit. They'd claim the current president is ruining the country and ignores those who need help, while in reality they're all corrupt, they just want the power like it was 1965 - 1997, they don't care about the people since the only reason they say that is just so they could get support, if you listen to any of their ideas, they might be appealing but it's clear that neither they, nor the government, have the ability to do those things. Like I'd be impressed if they can do that, but it's like they're not aware of what the country actually needs and don't need.
Bunch of Brain Dead Zombies, eat this shit up.

It's getting worse faster than ever in Modern History. Wake up now or reap what you sow later.
Nice insult actually. But why does John have a problem with this joke on 14:07? Calling Obama "tanned" and allegedly Angela Merkel "unfuckable lardass" is bad somehow in Oliver's opinion, yet how many insults did John Oliver made? REDUCE THE INSULT GAP, #MAKEINSULTSGREATAGAIN, #MIGA. Ironically #MIGA is #MakeItalyGreatAgain too XD
youwut mate, Oliver is a comedian, he is supposed to mock people, even to the point of insult. But a world leader blatantly insulting other world leaders (he insulted them when he was in office, therefore compromising alliances with other countries) is a completely different matter. I hope you can see the difference here...
Nicola Zanetti So you are proposing a double standard. Politician is not entitled to insulting people, while a comedian is. That's bad enough, mate. What about a case where a politician insults a private citizen? Obama did made remarks about Trump while he was still in office... So in this case, should Obama not have a right to mock people, while Trump should have a right? Or it's either way around because you know, it's Trump. This doesn't make sense now, does it?
+youwut mate: yes, I AM proposing a double standard! Insulting others is the JOB of a comedian, whereas insulting world leaders is NOT the job of a Prime Minister, and can actually lead to very dire consequences (and it did: under Berlusconi, Italy's international credibility was at an all-time low, which had a part in collapsing our economy, since the economic system is based on trust...). Really, are you unable to see the difference?
+ Nicola Zanetti I'm sorry to break it to you but politician's language, specifically one's use of insults is unrelated to politician's performance. Yes, Berlusconi did a terrible job AND used insults. You know who else used them? The ones like "Lyin' Ted", "Crooked Hillary", "Low-energy Jeb"? Exactly. Say what you want but facts are that Trump has made tremendous progress, like lowest unemployment numbers for hispanics, blacks, tax cuts from 35% to 15% for corporations which you know is a good thing because China has lowered it to 0% in response (if companies support communist, organ-selling, human trafficing regime that is CCP, of course). China couldn't even compete with Trump's new tax plan. Also companies have started moving back jobs to US, along with their capital, that is taxable (of course), among other accomplishments... These are facts. Anyways, I would call it a great performance. So that disproves your conjecture about Berlusconi's insults, right? There is more. Obama insulted Trump by calling him a fringe conspiracy theorist, he specifically mentioned that he should go back to fake moon landing and who killed Biggie and Pac conspiracies after his birth certificate was supposedly put to rest. I admit, that's a funny meme coming from Obama. He was president and he insulted Trump, a private citizen at the time... So what's with this fake political correctness bullshit you leftists spit out? Don't you see some hypocrisy here? I may be insulting you but hear this OUT, man

Man, we are basically screwed. Our chooses are:
-a guy who resembles Sid from the Ice Age (Renzi),
-a man whose party used to proclaim that northern Italy should be indipendent until they realized that people in the south can vote too (Salvini),
-a rapist whose only difference with Trump is his hair-color (Berlusconi),
-a former baby whose only attitude is insulting anyone else (Di Maio).
Ohh yes, I'm hoping to hide in a grave.
Very soon.
Man, I´m sorry for you, this must be nervewrecking AF. :( BUT as crazy as it sounds..... to be able to vote for John Oliver, thanks to a loophole, could be an opportunity for your generation to show that you have had it with this political system. I know I´m kind of a dreamer but... pleeeeaaaase don´t get yourself an italien Hitler. The italian youth has to stop this nightmare, man. :/ I believe in you!
As an Italian, I love seeing Italy from a foreigner's perspective, it must be extremely interesting. And John Oliver is amazing.
Amazing ignorant and blatantly leftish propaganda.
I've always found Italian politics baffling. From the sheer number of parties and the positions covering a huge range of philosophies to the turnover of prime ministers, it seems chaotic. Then there was/is Berlusconi. Irish comedian Dylan Moran said that he's so crooked he sleeps on a spiral staircase and that every time he smiles an angel gets gonnorhea.
Larry Wildman I honestly don't see the problem, everyone is entitled their opinions. It might be easier for me because I mostly agree with him, but - although his political opinions are blatant, as you say - he joked also on left and "neither left nor right" parties. Plus, I don't think that despising racial/sexual discrimination should be only a "leftist" thing.
Tracymmo I know, right? When it comes to Politics, in order to maintain your sanity, you have to pretend you are an alien and watch everything from the distance as if you were observing a totally different species doing their things.
But the far-right makes itself so easy to make fun of. Sure the left fucks up too (all the time, maybe even more often than the Right because "stay on course" fucks up less often than trying something new), but find me a leftist as easy to make fun of as Trump. I'm not a fan of the Corporate States of America, so the Democrats earn plenty of ire from me. Obama didn't manage to close Guantanamo... despite the fact that he easily could have in his last year when "bi-partisan cooperation" stopped needing to be applicable for the future. Then you look at Fox & Friends or Breitbart, and the near complete lack of facts instead of opinions couched as facts. I'm a centrist, and I'm a leftist in the USA!
Honestly I hope the Republican Party's sub-groups implode and we can develop either an actual moderate party, or a center-left and center-right, by drawing off the moderates from the Democrats to join the moderate Republicans and neoconservatives. Leaving the Christian Right, Libertarians, and Traditionalists for the Republican Party, and the Socialists, Progressives, and Liberals to the Democrats. But that would probably require voting reform... which probably won't happen sadly.
For those wondering what the correct answer is for Renzi's Wheel of Fortune episode, it's _un mare di neve_ (a sea of snow)

No he didn't, but I feel like he would have done much better
As an Italian, I was just waiting for John Oliver to talk about us one day or another (we have had so much shit going down in recent years I wouldn't have been surprised if he talked about us more), and I was not disappointed.
Now everyone can pretty much see how bad our situation is lol
John as a Prime Minister would actually be a blessing, make it happen pls
EIGOProduction I wonder if he'll talk about the Africans that chop up people in the middle of the streets in italy. Or about the 120 db movement from germany.
The "Africans chopping people in the streets" is kinda a shocking but isolated fact. It's not the kind of topic a show like this can talk about for half an hour.
If it was a trend with many many cases it would be maybe a different situation, but as for now it can't really be compared with more pressing matters that can actually have repercussions outside of Italy (like elections)
EIGOProduction if it's not the topic to talk in a show about "why italy will have a right wing anti EU government" then the whole show is propaganda.
Saying that Italy will have an anti EU government because of a case of brutal murder by african people, like if that single fact would justify people like Salvini and the fascists rising in the streets, it's also propaganda.
It's also well known we are kinda drowing in shit with immigrants, we can't receive them all, we don't have enough resources to manage them all, and other EU countries don't help us. All of these factors maturing in years and years are much more relevant (and less hate-polarizing) to why the right wing is gaining attention than single cases of violence by specific ethnic groups of people.

I love how John sometimes bring up false images of something and let us know a moment later it's false. That makes me think I should think twice, not just straight out believe anything, when I see something on TV.
Very good point!!!
While this sounds good, the problem is people use this concept as an excuse to never believe anything. People will flat out refuse to believe basic facts under the guise of "free thinking".
Conspiracy theorists who claim things like Sandy Hook never happened also believe they're just being healthily skeptical of the news.
Skepticism does not mean immediately labeling everything on the news a lie.

You're laughing now, John but let's see you keep that smile when you're elected president of Italy. I'm not Italian but I'd watch every public appearance you make that's broadcasted.
Khorothis, it will be great, but we can vote the party, not the prime minister
The President of Italy is another person. They're voting for Prime Minister.
breaking news: we've never been supposed to directly elect NEITHER the prime minister NOR the president.
That fake game show skit really makes me think John Oliver should play the lead in an Austin Powers revival.
That or playing in a Pudgemont's biopic.
Lol I was thinking the exact same thing. He so looks like Austin powers there
i'd watch that.
Fuck... great casting choice
🙏🙏🙏
"I am far from your worst choice" that line alone would actually gain you the elections in Argentina
Hehe, well this election y'all voted for the worst option it seems
Thanks John for letting the world know of our difficult here situation in Italy, I love this show!
ok ma ha seriamente esagerato e tu che sei italiano come me dovresti renderti conto che ci ha descritti come dei fascisti corrotti
Perché è vero
@frexers, e ha ragione. Non tutti, certo, ma ci sono corrotti (Berlusconi), e ci sono fascisti (Salvini e non solo). Ha specificatamente parlato di alcuni politici, non di tutto il popolo italiano

Sometimes, on cool summer nights, I like to take long walks and ponder what the world might look like today if John Oliver had somehow been elected the prime minister of Italy.
We wouldn't have to worry about John Oliver lying to us.
Honestly? Coming here from 2023, with Meloni and her fascist friends at the helm, I guess we would be better off - by far
As an italian, what really makes me sad is that he's right: he's far from our worst option.

As an Italian it's strange to see domestic politics made fun of by John Oliver. It puts everything in perspective with the rest of the world. And I didn't know Berlusconi had a volcano in his house!!!
JOHN OLIVER FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
PS
Also, just on a sidenote, would this go on air in Italy, Bob Murray (from the Coal episode) would be the very least of his problems. He would have to lawyer up very badly! SAD...

@@Pomoscorzo they are both shames on their country
Italian here. That was hilarious, but from a voter’s perspective it’s a tragedy. Anyway, although the volcano surely was interesting, I think it would’ve been worth noticing that while Berlusconi was our PM he managed to have the parliament pass almost 60 “laws of shame” that, amongst other terrible things, managed to avoid him being convicted for crimes he was on trial for and helped his own industries.
Biagio Distefano I agree with you, however to be fair, he was also the only one to survive an entire legislature....

Jeff B no, in Italy we have a president because we are a Republic. We had prime ministers when we had kings
I'm Italian, and everything he said was actually accurate. I'm going to vote for the political elections for the first time this Sunday (I'm 19), and I'm really afraid that the coalition led by Berlusconi will win. The problem is that the left parties are too detached from the problems of the people, so many people are "forced" to turn to the right because it seems the only party that cares about them (not true - right parties would be a disaster for our country, and there are actually some good left parties that care about real problems, they're just too small to have a chance). Whatever the results will be, I hope that in the future we will do better. We Italians just have to stay strong and don't loose hope.
Peace ✌️

Inoltre, questo programma è molto grottesco, ma non così accurato: calca molto sulle figure di merda e le immagini dei politici, nonché sulle notizie sui nostri problemi politici, ma finisce lì. Molto divertente e tutto, ma non rispecchia le modalità di voto, come si costruisce il nostro Parlamento (che andremo a votare) e non è neanche affidabile riguardo la posizione di Berlusconi (che, si spera saprai, è incandidabile!)

I'd be offended if you weren't absolutely correct.
Android 19 trump isn't a Fascist
Yeah, he's only a Nazi...
Trump is economically a business Democrat. He isn't pursuing hardly any social reform. He's just anti-mass unfettered immigration, which is totally reasonable at this point. Leftists are so fucking dumb, they want a populist welfare state, open borders and multiculturalism and they can't seem to conceptualize that those things can't exist simultaneously and be sustainable. Anyone with a brain can see this, but Leftists remain cognitively dissonant. Then they label anyone that points out the flaws in this logic and argues against it a fascist and a Nazi. It's unspeakably inane and juvenile.

Yes he absolutely predicted the future in that statement
At least he can speak english ( and yes, I'am talking about YOU Di Maio!
That is completely false. Italy is a parliamentary republic, not a presidential democracy, and that's why the prime minister is not elected. It doesn't compare in power or functions to the POTUS.
Despite this fact Giuseppe Conte had plenty to do with the campaign because for the first time in our history, a party announced his government candidates before the elections, and therefore 5 star voters knew him, even though he took Di Maio's leading place.
do not worry my friend. He's back!
Dario Pedicini you are right too bad Salvini didn’t know that Italy is a parliamentary republic. He should have done his homework instead of playing dj at the beach with dancing showgirls

Michele08080808 every now and then each politician claims about an anti-corruption act, but the only party who actually did something was PD. That’s not enough yet, but is something for sure as a starting point. M5S voted against PD also when they proposed laws similar to M5S ones, just because were proposed by PD.
yes except that they just based much of their existence about this point as you surely know..PD did something? do you know anything about mafia capitale? pd was there after alemanno left.. do you know anything about conflitto d'interesse? do you know anything about de luca, a renzi sponsored regional strongman, and the scandal that is being covered up in campania? why did they not cancel the falso in bilancio laws from berlusconi? how can we say that a party like PD who has been governing for years and left things as they were did something against corruption when they did maybe the slightest minimum just after the m5s came into existence..if you want to be blind and leave your vote to crooks just do it

Update on Italy: the random jackass who had nothing to do with the campaign that was picked as Prime Minister by the government coalition (composed of 5 Stars and League) was picked again as Prime Minister after Salvini tried to take down the government last August and make the electors vote again due to projection polls showing him as favorite and 5 Stars (that of the two was the majority component) decided to make a new coalition with the Democratic Party.
And yeah, before anyone asks, Berlusconi is still here, volcano and all.
Oh, so THAT'S what happened! With the rest of the world being on fire and the news being EXCLUSIVELY about Covid lately I had totally lost track of the political landscape.

@@superpippo93x The "random jackass" choesen turned out to be better than the leaders italians could vote for, surprisingly. Or maybe unsurprisingly.
Now Conte's second government is basically over, because Matteo Renzi exited the majority coalition (wait, wasn't Renzi supposed to be gone from politics forever? He said so before losing his referendum...). The majority coalition lacks 18 senators, leaving Italy in deep crap during a pandemic:
Vaccinations campaign just started, ~209B€ from the EU Recovery Fund to invest in our future hopefully without wasting any of it.
So we don't know what's going to happen yet. Will Conte get a third chance to govern italy by finding 18 random senators? Or will John Oliver step in to save us? Who knows!
You'll find out on next episode of... ruclips.net/video/AeIyNHyeC4g/видео.html
P.S.:
To be completely fair, Conte isn't 100.0% random, as he was presented as a minister by M5S in the campaign before the 2018 election, although he was not and still isn't member of any party. But it was really funny to hear John Oliver "forseeing" that our prime minister would be chosen at "random".😂

Quick recap of what happened in Italy in these past 2 years:
- elections resulted in a three-party victory which made really difficult to form an actual governement
-5 star (33%) movement formed an alliance with far right party Lega(17%), putting G. Conte as prime minster
- The alliance fell one and a half year later. Pact was broken by Lega, now at 34% in polls. Basically drained 5star electoral base
- Renzi left the Democratic Party, creating a new small party, Italia Viva right after forming an alliance between DP(19%) and 5star to create a second governement, led by Conte
- pandemic came and it was a huge mess
- at the beginning of 2021, Renzi made the governement collapse for literally no apparent reasons.
- after another hard three weeks, Mario Draghi (former BCE president) was called by our president to become prime minister. He's now leading a governement that is basically held together by all parties joined
- far right wants to go to elections though. But here's the catch: parlament can't be sent home in the 6 months prior to the next President election. This period starts in August, so DP wants to hold on to avoid Legs and their alliance to elect the new president through the parliament.
Curious to see what's gonna happen, while we are still in the middle of a pandemic and far right is probably going to crush everybody else in next elections..that should be in 2023..or not?
Btw, 68 governements in 73 years, yay

Nonsense. He IS the best candidate!
I prefer Di Maio
@Rastalov Nothing would change, Italy is already a shithole
Gaia Fiorita it’s a pile of moldy lasagna and Mario memes these days
Liberals destroy countries. Just take a look at what they have done to London?
I'm so ready for you to be my prime minister.
Mario, from Italy.
Billy Massey, III Not yet but I could learn if needed. Plus I save princesses quite often.
Berlusconi is so corrupt everytime he smiles an angel gets gonorrhea...
Last Week Tonight, please appreciate this comment!
Bea Kiddo I love you
Dylan Moran.
To clarify what Lasperic is saying, the joke was originally made by Irish comedian Dylan Moran, who is terrific. You should check out his stuff.
this comment wins!
Probably not the first to point this out but... not only is Di Maio only 31 years old but his one and only job before becoming a politician was being the snack guy at Napoli's soccer stadium. Soooo... you be the judge my friend.
fake news demo berlusconi's tv channels and newspapers
Yeah, I've just checked. That's not true. He was an apprentice journalist, and worked as a webmaster (maintains websites) and also the drinks seller at that stadium. Still not great, but not entirely accurate.
ALSO: Berlusconi called Finnish food garbage, so when we beat Italy in an international pizza competition, we named our winning pizza "Berlusconi" just to spite him! :D
Rhazagal It comes with a side-sauce of herpes, I assume?
Can you tell me this pizza recipe? =D
YOU-ARE-GREAT-GUYS. I'd eat it
didn't everybody beat Italy in an international pizza competition? For a nation that invented pizza, Italians sure make shitty pizza. I had the worst pizza of my life in Napoli, followed closely by the second worst in Taormina, Sicily.
Huh! That's a pretty fun fact! Good to know!
20:01 Host (while wearing glasses): Boo this idiot with glasses! *slaps John*
shit had me dying
We all say LOL a lot, but I was literally laughing out loud after seeing that.
20:13
That face when you want to start a mass shooting
I expected Lord Buckethead to return
He Will. have faith.
same here
Lord Buckethead is great but I'm still waiting for the return of True Buckethead, our musician shredlord and savior of all chickenkind. Blessed be those that know of his mad nunchaku skills.
Looking at Italy's current candidates, even Mr. Nutter Butter would be a better option!
I'm Italian and when I'm sad I watch 3/4 times in a row this magical episode.
Italian here. Yes you are very far from our worst option but, technically, people in Italy DO NOT elect the prime minister, we elect the parliament. This means that, in the end, is the majority of the parliament that decide who the next prime minister is. Usually, parties express who the leader will be before the election, but is still a bit tricky. In the case of the Right parties coalition (Berlusconi and Salvini's parties are joining forces), Salvini says that he wants to be the president but Berlusconi opposes.
So you see, you should convince representatives, not voters.
He should convince President Mattarella first
Very informative! So he would have less of a chance to get votes in this case. I was looking forward to the episode after the election in which he would count his votes but I think that a representative wouldn't seriously look at Oliver as a candidate.
He is English, he knows how Parliamentary Governments work.
It's impossible, here in Italy people can't write the name of the candidate. Under current law we can just make a cross on the symbol of the party. It's different for the Italians voting from foreign countries. But that's another story
Yikes. Sounds like Italy is in massive trouble, unless some real, non far right underdogs win the local elections.
it's trending #1 in italy ahahaha
Yeah lol
John Oliver running a country .... Yea no that would probably be just about as bad as the other choices they've got.
No joke, i'm in Rome and this is brilliant
is trending in the whole Europe don't you get it!
Marcus Yrvild snowflake alert
Who else waited for the sarcastic "cool."?
I LIVE for those.
I did, and every time I watch it (as I've repeated it about 20 times already), it gets funnier and funnier.
I was hoping for a "figo" or something like that, he often translates when he talks about foreign countries
John Oliver saying Arrivederci in a British accent was much funnier than I thought it would be.
Who else was waiting for John Oliver to bring out his own volcano as soon as it was brought up that an image for the Italian one couldn't be found :-)
MythicTyrant when he was talking about air bud I thought he was bringing Lord Buckethead to the mix. It was still funny, but not as funny.
You obviously know this show very well.
MythicTyrant where is John.....
?
MythicTyrant Yeah, I kind of saw that one coming... but the little lamb caught me off guard LOL. Awesome show, eh?
Just watching reruns.
But I do have one question.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED 😂
Yes I'am ENTERTAINTED
Pasta Primavera
I lost it when he slapped him in the face for losing the game show. "Fasta frimavera?"
Paul TheSkeptic "Stupido!" *POW*😂
lost it in the office at the Merkel silence ... jeezuz this world needs a saviour.
Looks like the lost beatle on the game show
Too funny. I couldn’t stop laughing
Che belli i troll
“Is it true you called her an unfuckable lard ass?” I have no idea why but that is one of the best interview questions ever.
Tell me why your the only channel I’ll sit through a 20 minute video for
MrNoSleep OSRS because he's hilarious
MrNoSleep OSRS if he did hour long segments I would watch it
you^re*
That was a 20 min video? Dang i was too entertained to tell.
because he'll soon be Italian prime minister 😂
Dear John Oliver, as a precious Italian voter (half of the nation does not give a fuck on elections because they don't trust politicians) i really appreciated your, not creative but dramatically realistic effort on this critical election. grazie mille!
Nicola Navone vote for John
Make Italy great again
It's not like half of the population doesn't give a fuck it's that there is absolutely no one in this election to give a fuck about.
Anch'io...
Can you imagine if he actually won and became Prime Minister?
Colonel Pepper I wonder if the Italian government is as generous as HBO towards John Oliver's show.
If he does, we will no longer have this show!
I love seeing how the rest of the world sees my country
Splendid! Now I know who to vote for. Meno male che John c'è
I didn't know how much I needed to see John Oliver holding a little lamb until I saw John Oliver holding a little lamb.
This is the best description of the italian political situation I've seen in a while, and I'm from Italy!
There was a bit of exaggeration for comedy (expecially on the fascist part) but the gist is true.
Next sunday we'll have to go to vote and we have three bad options.
Which is one more than the american usually have, but that's a small consolation! :D
he downplayed the five star movement a lot, just passingly admitting "there are A LOT of things to like about the 5 Stars movement" but focusing on negative things and on the age of the candidate.. good thing that he said a lot about corruption in italy which is actually one of the first things 5 stars have been wanting to tackle since they have been founded..this way he is basically encouraging not to vote which is a clear recipe for salvini and berusconi to get to power..he could have done better this time
Michele08080808 This bit is intended to have an audience of people who can't vote in Italy: so the thing about discouraging to vote is pointless.
Evidently we have different opinions on the 5 star movement: I actually think he went soft on them bc they have many things that worry me a lot.
which is not true at all as you are reading there are many comments from italians and the news is being translated on italian websites as we speak unfortunately as John probably expected.. he knows that some italian watch the show on youtube from the statistics of course
Michele08080808 I don't think people that could decide not to vote because John Oliver misleaded them are not educated enough to even know who he is, let alone follow him in english.
I could decide vote for m5s but while they are probably still well intentioned they also are confused and incompetent.
Watching this almost 2 years after the 2018 election hilarious.😂 Also John are you still available to run for prime minister at our next elections? I would love to have you as our leader
Sicuro meglio di Conte
@@justasadguy5121 bene e perché?
Lucky for us, they don't even talk about Sen. RAZZI!!!
South Korean president bff!!

“He is truly the Forrest Gump of human misery.”
Tip of the hat to whoever wrote this. 😂
I would bet that was the bored assistant of a camera man on the Game of Thrones set waiting for the rain to stop.
It's funny because it's true!
the more I think about it, the funnier it gets lol
That's exactly how it went. Both Salvini and 5Stelle won, forming a coalition and nominating a prime minister that didn't run for election and we never heard of ever before. Ciao from Italy ❤
OMFG what are they even going to do with that volcano after the episode? I WANT IT.
kaduzy what volcano is it for sale?
Ask Berlusconi for one
onemanshow627 you do that you'll have 100 million subscribers
You will never find pictures of that volcano because when he was prime minister he made it an official state secret. Not joking. Not even police can go there.
onemanshow627: this vulcano was the nephew of an Egyptian Pyramid, and now it went back to Egypt.
I remember going to Italy like 2 years ago? And I asked the local guide about the election that year, and she's like, "Everyone sucks."
Tamaki742 that's like that now, too. Everyone sucks besides some minority parties, which won't probably make it even past the 3% required to enter Parliament.
Anankin12 Man, good luck, dude. To be fair, that's probably me after the next 5 years IF the incumbent president managed to get re - elected, which I hope happens because he's probably the best Indonesia has as a president right now. I really don't know who else to choose after him because everyone else is shit. They'd claim the current president is ruining the country and ignores those who need help, while in reality they're all corrupt, they just want the power like it was 1965 - 1997, they don't care about the people since the only reason they say that is just so they could get support, if you listen to any of their ideas, they might be appealing but it's clear that neither they, nor the government, have the ability to do those things. Like I'd be impressed if they can do that, but it's like they're not aware of what the country actually needs and don't need.
Still a better election story than america 2016.
Same answer here in Mexico: "Everyone sucks."
Strategic MesSager _Wow, the US election is now Twilight._
#JohnOliverForPrimeMinisterOfItaly

#JohnOliverForPrimeMinisterOfItaly
omg what if he wins
I feel like John and his writers just think of ridiculous shot to spend HBOs money on. I love it so much
1 Year after, we should have definitly vote for him.
Do you have elections every 2 years or something?
Finally a politician for the ages! #forzajohnoliver
L`Italia crede in te. +John Oliver
Olivreandfinn
Finn and oliver
Bunch of Brain Dead Zombies, eat this shit up. I voted for Obama in 2008, I used to watch Lefty MSM programs like this one ( Bill Maher was my favorite) but guess what the World's getting worse despite his "Change" Barrack promised. It's getting worse faster than ever in Modern History. Wake up now or reap what you sow later.
"He's the Forrest Gump of human misery". LOL! That's one of the best descriptions of Trump I've heard so far.
Nice insult actually. But why does John have a problem with this joke on 14:07? Calling Obama "tanned" and allegedly Angela Merkel "unfuckable lardass" is bad somehow in Oliver's opinion, yet how many insults did John Oliver made?
REDUCE THE INSULT GAP, #MAKEINSULTSGREATAGAIN, #MIGA. Ironically #MIGA is #MakeItalyGreatAgain too XD
youwut mate, Oliver is a comedian, he is supposed to mock people, even to the point of insult. But a world leader blatantly insulting other world leaders (he insulted them when he was in office, therefore compromising alliances with other countries) is a completely different matter. I hope you can see the difference here...
Nicola Zanetti So you are proposing a double standard. Politician is not entitled to insulting people, while a comedian is. That's bad enough, mate. What about a case where a politician insults a private citizen? Obama did made remarks about Trump while he was still in office... So in this case, should Obama not have a right to mock people, while Trump should have a right? Or it's either way around because you know, it's Trump. This doesn't make sense now, does it?
+youwut mate: yes, I AM proposing a double standard! Insulting others is the JOB of a comedian, whereas insulting world leaders is NOT the job of a Prime Minister, and can actually lead to very dire consequences (and it did: under Berlusconi, Italy's international credibility was at an all-time low, which had a part in collapsing our economy, since the economic system is based on trust...). Really, are you unable to see the difference?
+ Nicola Zanetti I'm sorry to break it to you but politician's language, specifically one's use of insults is unrelated to politician's performance. Yes, Berlusconi did a terrible job AND used insults. You know who else used them? The ones like "Lyin' Ted", "Crooked Hillary", "Low-energy Jeb"? Exactly.
Say what you want but facts are that Trump has made tremendous progress, like lowest unemployment numbers for hispanics, blacks, tax cuts from 35% to 15% for corporations which you know is a good thing because China has lowered it to 0% in response (if companies support communist, organ-selling, human trafficing regime that is CCP, of course). China couldn't even compete with Trump's new tax plan. Also companies have started moving back jobs to US, along with their capital, that is taxable (of course), among other accomplishments... These are facts. Anyways, I would call it a great performance. So that disproves your conjecture about Berlusconi's insults, right?
There is more. Obama insulted Trump by calling him a fringe conspiracy theorist, he specifically mentioned that he should go back to fake moon landing and who killed Biggie and Pac conspiracies after his birth certificate was supposedly put to rest. I admit, that's a funny meme coming from Obama. He was president and he insulted Trump, a private citizen at the time... So what's with this fake political correctness bullshit you leftists spit out? Don't you see some hypocrisy here? I may be insulting you but hear this OUT, man
Several people in the audience know Italian. They laughed before Oliver translated “Vaffanculo Day”
I mean, I can’t speak Italian but do know that “vaffanculo” is a rude insult. Some people like to look up swear words in other languages :>
Ever seen the show "friends"? Joey does that to Chandler.
If someone care the Italian prime minister is Paolo Gentiloni
Filippo Daidone and he's actually pretty decent
Next one is Silvio BUNGAABUNGAAA
he's actually not that bad
Better known as Gentle Honey
I'm Italian and even I don't care :D
