{{Italic title}}
'''''Last Week Tonight with John Oliver''''', or just '''''Last Week Tonight''''', is an American [[W:Late-night talk show|late-night talk]] and [[W:News satire|news satire television]] program hosted by British [[W:comedian|comedian]], [[writer]], [[W:producer|producer]], [[w:political commentator|political commentator]], [[actor]], and [[w:Television host|television host]], [[W:John Oliver|John Oliver]].

The half-hour-long show premiered on Sunday, April 27, 2014, on [[W:HBO|HBO]]. Last Week Tonight shares some similarities with [[W:Comedy Central|Comedy Central]]'s ''[[W:The Daily Show|The Daily Show]]'' (where Oliver was previously featured as a correspondent and fill-in host), as it takes a satirical look at news, politics and current events, but on a weekly basis.

==Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and furry==

There are various elements in the series of interest to [[furries]]. The show's theme song starts off every episode containing images relating the world at large (with one or more related to that episode) with satirical captions written in [[W:dog Latin|dog Latin]].

Opening sequence of season 5:

* f.6 "Bolivian Zebra" / "Equus Stripedus" ([[W:La Paz traffic zebras|La Paz traffic zebras]])
* f.(33?) "Jeff" / "Logos Marlborum" ('''Jeff the Diseased Lung''' in a Cowboy Hat)([[anthropomorphic]] lung)
* f.(34?) "Ginsburg" / "Justice Es Adorabelium" (from the series' dog-version of U.S. Supreme Court Justice [[W:Ruth Bader Ginsburg|Ruth Bader Ginsburg]])

A reoccurring element of the show is Oliver's use of [[mascot]]s. The mascots used in the show include '''Jeff the Diseased Lung''' in a Cowboy Hat, '''Hoots the NSA Owl''', '''Taryn the Tinder Chicken''', and the Last Week Tonight [[puppet]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ranker.com/list/john-oliver-last-week-tonight-mascots/ranker-tv |title=All the Mascot Costumes from Last Week Tonight, Ranked |date=2020-05-07 |access-date=2021-12-30}}</ref> Oliver told Vulture in February of 2019:{{q|I mean, the truth of the mascots is that we have a gigantic room filled with spectacular mascot costumes now.

== Episodes with items of furry interest ==

* Season 4, Episode 21: During the information on President Donald Trumps message of "Fire and fury" to North Korea, John brings up the typo on the Kennebec Journal's front page quoting "Fire and Furry" from the president. John reacts to this by saying, "Fire and fury! The only way that is not terrifying, is if you report it like one newspaper actually did in Maine (the newspaper in reference is the Kennebec Journal) saying 'Trump warns of fire and furry' in which case, Trump is threatening to send this to North Korea, which is a very different kinda of threat.". [https://i.imgur.com/pkEghZ4.png This] was shown on screen and to the audience. A reverse image search shows this as a stock image.

* Season 5, Episode 1: While talking about YouTube (starting at 27minutes into the episode) John briefly talks about inflatable [[Tyrannosaurus]] ('''T-Rex''') [[costume]]s, while some video clips play of T-Rex costumes on dirtbikes, ballet dancing, exercising and "car repair". And for the closing segment, a bunch of people went on stage including some T-Rex costumes.
* Season 5, Episode 2: segments at the start: followup to season4 segment about Coal and the series (Last Week Tonight) being sued by Bob Murray for defamation. The judge said he was planning to dismiss the lawsuit, and then giant squirrel Mr. Nutterbutter showed up and displayed a sign that said: "Eat Shit, Bob!" Mr. Nutterbutter also did gestures and costume emoting.
* Season 5, Episode 4: during a segment about cryptocurrencies
** (14minutes into the episode) John says he would like to make fun of a Bitcoin bro in a "stupid costume", but "it is literally the entire business model of this fucking television show" with eight thumbnails from previous episodes

** (23 minutes into the episode) discussion of [[w:Dogecoin|Dogecoin]] where [[w:Shiba Inu|Shiba Inu]] paw presses a key on a computer keyboard and then a Shiba Inu rides a rocket in an animation. John compares Dogecoin (started as a joke) to a theoretical situation of someone starting a joke band named The Woofles (named similar to [[W:The Beatles|The Beatles]]) that was all [[W:St. Bernard (dog)|St. Bernard dogs]], (The Woofles image seems to be dog-heads on clothed humanoid bodies) but the band becomes incredibly successful.

* Season 5, Episode 5:
** 2018 Russian presidential election segment: (6 minutes into the episode) Russian children's drawings of Putin (organized by [https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/russian-pupils-draw-putin-sun-god-giant-astronaut-1661381 Resource Center Information Agency Infrastructure of Charity]) where one drawing (as John put it) depicting Putin "[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/frolicking#English frolicking] with two extremely [[w:Down to fuck|DTF]] furries" (a brown bear and a polar bear).
** After doing a segment about USA vice-president [[W:Mike Pence|Mike Pence]], gay [[w:Conversion therapy|Conversion therapy]] (and [[w:Focus on the Family|Focus on the Family]]), John talks about Pence family having a bunny (Marlon Bundo) and that Pence family writing and illustrating a Marlon Bundo book. John announced the show had come up with their own Marlon Bundo book ([[W:A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo|A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo]]) and their Bundo is gay and falls in love with another boy rabbit. And that the book can be bought from Amazon.com, [https://betterbundobook.com/ BetterBundoBook.com] and [https://focusonthefurmily.com/ FocusOnTheFURmily.com] plus an audiobook version available from [http://audible.com/marlonbundo Audible.com].

*** (18 minutes into the episode): John compares CPCs luring women in under false pretenses to [[w:Catfishing|Catfishing]], with an image of catfish in clothing (hat and necklace) using a laptop.
*** (19-20 minutes into the episode): images include one from the [[w:The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)]] with the [[Cowardly Lion]]. One abortion clinic painted their ramp bright yellow in an attempt to avoid their clients getting hijacked by a CPC, John likens the ramp to the [[w:Yellow brick road|Yellow brick road]] in The Wizard of Oz and that is appropriate because that Oz movie "involves a young woman getting stopped several times by idiots bothering her with their own fucking issues as she just tries to get where she needs to fucking go."

* Season 5, Episode 8:

** Blockbuster Video in Alaska: (23 minutes into the episode) art depicting a [[w:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] (aka Sasquatch) with John saying (about Blockbuster locations closing) "we seem to be rapidly losing something I didn't even know we had, which is a weird feeling. It's like if Bigfoot walked out of the woods with a gun to his head saying he exists, there were four of him, but he just brutally murdered his wife and two kids and he's not feeling great about it."

* Season 5, Episode 9:
** Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iranian nuclear deal)([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xnZ_CeTqyM YouTube]):
*** (23-24 minutes into episode or 15:13-15:35 into a segment on YouTube): (image of a cat parachuting) "You can't just be against something without having any plan for what comes next. Trump is like a cat on an airplane trying to escape from its carrier. Ok, but if you get out, then what? Do you have a cat-sized parachute in there with you? What's your fucking plan here? And obviously I'm not going to say cat-sized parachute without showing you a cat in a parachute."

* Season 9, Episode 3:
** Wrongful convictions ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpYYdCzTpps Youtube]):
*** (16 minutes into a segment on Youtube) "Yeah, he’s right. Fucking duh! You’ve probably already been screaming it at your tv for the last 15 minutes, along with “talk slower!” And “this guy’s a furry, right?” That’s my business. But I will say, the clues are all there."

* Season 9, webisode:
** Rocks ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEa3sK1iZxc Youtube]):
*** (From 5:39) John discusses false rumors about furry behaviours in schools, and highlights furry Twitter responses to ex-Georgia Governor candidate Kandiss Taylor's tweet that "The furry days are over when I'm governor." John highlights that many furries "offer art commissions, where you can get yourself done up as sexy river otter at very reasonable prices" while showing a picture of himself done up as just that
