"i think we all agree that the most important thing we do here is stir shit up" that became my favorite quote he's ever said
@SpoopySquid
John Oliver once again making sure HBO's lawyers are never bored EDIT wtf is happening in these replies lmao
@Woolnut35
I dont know why but when John Oliver says "holy s**t", it's one of his funniest phrases
@bensxbd
John baiting them to file a defamation suit so they can be exposed is one of the most adult and moral forms of trolling I’ve ever seen
@ajm7375
We all love John but shout out to the journalists, writers, lawyers, and crew that make this epic show possible
@quantum7046
The fact that a comedy show has a level of journalism to potentially have figured out who supplies their government with execution drugs makes me both impressed with John's team as well as laugh at the rest of modern media's frequent mistakes
@MrLee-cy1pw
This dude just called out a shady company, the state of Alabama and the Federal government making us laugh the entire time. John Oliver impresses the shit out of me!
@Hail_Fire
The most surprising thing I am taking away from this video is that I am grateful to see that there are people brave enough to say the truth about their opinions on matters like this such as Senator Grant Burgoyne. His words made such an impact that I even looked back in the video to find his name, rather than just say that one politician from Idaho. I have real respect for people like him who are capable of pointing out an ugly truth in a manner that is objective while not getting clouded by hostility or condemnation; but even more so, I respect that he is pointing out the fact that the public cannot keep it's government from potentially mishandling it's responsibilities in this scenario due to the way that information is not accessible, which is a problem when there are many instances to suggest that this is precisely what has occurred.

I used to work in animal research and we normally used ketamine/xylazine to achieve anaesthesia and it worked like a charm. When concerns arose that the ketamine was interfering with the medicine we were testing, we VERY briefly switched to pentobarbitol. I say very because it lasted ONE day. It took insanely variable doses (in some cases heroic doses) to achieve anaesthesia and it was horribly difficult to maintain. Animals were waking up in unimaginable pain and quickly euthanized or, more often, went from fully alert after several doses to suddenly keeling over dead. Someone has to be out of their mind to use that drug (which we now know is notoriously unreliable) on humans.

For the record, "pressed with weights" actually refers to one specific person, Giles Corey, who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials for refusing to testify against his family. His last words were "More weight."
@Yungtahoe
Stumbled across John Oliver about two weeks ago and my god his show is my favorite thing to watch on Earth now. I have been binging them all constantly. Can’t get enough. Brilliant blend of comedy, politics, and current events.
@gussysussy47
south carolinian here. i would like to thank john for making the foghorn leghorn joke more widespread. we have been saying it for years and hoping the rest of the country would hop on. thank you john oliver
@aldotorres1983
It's very weird to think of our federal government, and various state governments getting execution drugs clandestinely from seedy suppliers. If we did that we'd get arrested and forced into rehab.
@shadowstone13
John Oliver looking at a plate of wet chicken bits and thinking it looks appetizing is arguably the most British thing he's ever said on American television
@vivi_t3ch
breathes in helium instantly becomes a British school boy that is extremely cross. Holy cow John. Holy. Cow. 1000% more British with that element there.

Someone needs to embellish their sign. Absolute Standards: "We have the final solutions"
@laalaa99stl
Was not expecting to have a belly laugh during (yet another) death penalty segment, but Helium John got me!

New rule: the governor, and AG are REQUIRED to witness all court ordered de-life procedures in their state.
@evifnoskcaj
I love how they say "We do comedy, not journalism." then proceed to do better journalism and research than almost all of the mass media combined.
