    As a Brazilian, the least I can say is that ours country’s politics in the past 4 years has felt just like a The Office episode
  • @Scar-jg4bn
    Nice to look back knowing he lost and was laughed out of court and fined when he tried to say it was rigged. Sometimes there is justice.
  • I am watching this one day after the elections. Lula won by an uncomfortable small margin. I am so worried about all of the threats and the subsequent unrest that could come out of this situation. But I am glad that you tried to speak Brazilian Portuguese and you did not hurt yourself with the nunchucks.

    As always, John’s words were prophetic. His videos age really well.
  • @eponymousIme
    Props to John Oliver for learning a routine involving both speaking Portuguese and using nunchucks at the same time.
  • @SukoSeiti
    Quite funny that HBO didn't allow this to be available on HBO MAX in Brazil, hilarious in fact.

    I'm very impressed by John's Portuguese here! It's so common for people in movies and shows to claim that they speak a foreign language only for them to go and say something completely unintelligible without the subtitles!

    John's Portuguese is not perfect, of course, but it's perfectly comprehensible, even without the subtitles. It gets even more impressive considering he's using nunchucks at the same time!
  • WE WON, HOLY SHIT!!!
    By less than 1%, 2 million votes, but enough to end this nightmare.
  • @Sousa_ray
    As a brazilian, i must say: John's portuguese was surprisingly good
  • @Ivan_Nano
    Please make this video available with Portuguese subtitles so that people in Brazil can send it to each other!

    There's a reason Bolsonaro is called "the Trump of the Tropics", because he's every bit like Trump, from his rhetoric, to his supporters
  • @Momslayer27
    As a full bred Brazilian, I am not only flattered but completely breaking down from laughing, that was incredible and muito obrigado por falar sobre tudo que está acontecendo no meu amado país. I live in America now, and it really worries me how things are going to play out there.

    The Portuguese bit made me emotional. It's been rough years around here. Thank you, John and crew.
  • From Brazil here and I have a story that might make you smile. So it’s been a month, he’s lost and so far things haven’t been as bad as we expected, there have been attempts to block roads and highways but they’re not lasting. But one thing that happened with those blocks makes me think my country might be alright after all: a bus full of fans of Clube Atlético Mineiro, a football team also known as Galo, were on their way to another city to watch their beloved teams game when they came across one of these blocks between them and sweet sweet football. The fans got out of the bus and rushed the block beating up the people doing it and physically forcing the road open clearing the way for them to cheer on those that really hold Brazilian allegiance. Some highlights include selfies among the mess and someone over weight uncle (bless that man he is a saint) filming himself in the aftermath screaming (roughly translated): “We are not Bolsonaro, we are not Lula, we are F*cking Galo!!!”

    Here after Lula won! I'm not Brazilian, but it definitely feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders
  • @BenniArt
    I love waking up once a week and pondering how John will make me dread existence this time.
  • @Resuarus
    I feel like John must be the only British man to have ever spoken Portuguese while swinging nunchucks around.
  • The moment he broke out the chucks I said "If you don't switch off this camera at the end of this episode I will never forgive you". John never lets us down
  • John, I'm from Brazil, I love my land, and it was very emotional hear you talking not just about the green areas, but the indegenous people, the real owners of Brazil. The original people of our contry have been killed in this horror govern. Justice for Bruno and Don!
