Automation: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

The joke about Ukraine being Russia REALLY hits different in current day.

That Russia joke went sooooooo under appreciated

I asked my 4 year old what he wanted to be and he said “a bubble”. All i could say was “okay”.

The little girl copying his accent was so cute

John Oliver breaking kids hopes and dreams for 3 minutes.

“Do you think a robot could do my job?” “What is your job???” Dying 😂👍

The Ukraine = Russia joke has aged extremely well.

That little girl who has never said the word "tasks" before and just mimics you is adorable.

"Do you think a robot could do my job?" ..."What is your job?" REKT.

When I grow up I wanna be a robot. That way I can be sure to have a plethora of job opportunities.

Wow, I cant believe John Oliver set up this entire war, to make the joke a little funnier.

shows picture of Russia “Russia” shows picture of Ukraine “Russia” Oof 😂

I laughed way harder than I should've at the kid inadvertently doing a British accent.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" "A good person, mostly. Content with a nice family. I'd like to travel and have a lot of different experiences." "No lol. I mean how are you going to sell your labor?"

"But I don't know what it means...." That poor girl at the end represents what most of us struggle with.

I know this is insignificant, but I was so happy when he mentioned my country's name. As it is a very small country unknown to most of the world and for them to chose it instead of the other 140 that they could have chosen just made me feel like my country was a little special (even though they were mocking it). I'm so proud to be a citizen of Zanadu.

"You're definitely faster than a robot? Here's the thing: You're definitely not." 😂

I'm gonna defer to Stephen Hawking on this: "If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." The only reason automation is scary is because we've decided that if you don't have a job, you don't get to participate in society. We don't actually have to do that.

Cruel parents let their childs dream destroyed for laughs by a mean british owl

Adult: What do you want to be when you grow up? Me: A robot.
