Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

You didn't include the clip of him singing "Goodbye Horses" while he takes his shirt off and applies lipstick.

10:21

Hbo executive: Where’d all that money go?

John: **silently panicking** y’all like cake?

The cake is wonderful. What a great ending. I’m surprised Trump🤥hasn’t caught onto this Guinness world record gimmick. He could win by having them count all of the lies he has told since the beginning of his campaign through his presidency and so on and so on and so on. 🤥

I really dislike this guy and his show. But that was pure genius.

You could have added several banned things in Turkmenistan such as:
-Black cars
-Long hairs (for mens)
-Gold teeths
-Violence & sexe on TV
-Driving for women
-Bikinis

Fucking funny american cocksuckers , fucking shit sponsored by ms..........

Probably one of the biggest flex on live tv in history

Thank you! Now I know a country called Turkmenistan exists.

He's right, those horses look JRHNBR

8:10 John Oliver is a furry confirmed

Those targets are literally just Uncle Sams

How did they get that cake in there?

Just curious, who looks at this as a name for their kid and thinks, "yeah, that will make him popular." Then again, he basically owns a country and I don't so....

How about have a largest human- horse intercourse and send an RSVP. Ask him if he going to bring his own horse?

Obama: [does anything]
American Republicans: "Obama's a dictator!!"
Trump: [does anything]
American Democrats: "Trump's a dictator!!"
Actual dictators: [commit unspeakable crimes against humanity]
Americans: "Wait, who's that again?"

One of the women laughing sounds like the lady from Jaselnik standup show

Fuck GWR

John Oliver you're disgusting. You make it sound so cheap and tawdry. It wasn't like that. I... I mean he, bought her some lovely oats, only the best, we had a lovely ride in the moonlight, I slipped off her saddle before finally... heaven. It was completely consensual of course. It was beautiful and you're sick.

The only news show that i can always expect to do such ridiculous yet awesome and gunny things😂

Yeah, that guy is DEFINITELY a clopper.
If you dont know what that is, dont look it up, you'll keep your sanity.

who else clicked just to see what the title meant

"I'm not a 9 year old about to testify in family court; why should I give a shit about the Guinness Book of World Records?"

It's pretty telling that every authoritarian on the planet seems to be an insecure flabby old man.

What im hearing here is that Turkmenistan would definitely lose a battle if their opponent used the legendary literal Trojan horse

1:35 did Dom Mazzetti write this segment?

Re: the horse obsession. I guess it is in the culture of central Asian men, remember they had a long relation with the nomadic/Mongolian tribes of central asia. After reading a lot about central Asia and Mongol history, I only started to understand how important horses have been in their traditional way of life. That kind of obsession can only show how much Genghis Khan's legacy influenced the region and the culture, and how 'medieval' it all seems up until quite recently...

Obviously G.B. has just never graduated out of his teenage-girl-horse-phase. Odd, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Welp...someone grew up on Monty Python. Heh heh heh...this bit was genius.

It was really the icing of the cake moment. Literally. Icings, cake.. all that shit..

This is actually one of my favorite episodes. Incredibly entertaining.

I’d watch Last Steed Tonight starring John Oliver The Horse

At first I reacted to John saying Berdimuhamedov likes horses to a weird degree by thinking "But it's the middle east, that's like saying a guy from Texas likes pickup trucks to a weird degree" and then we got a little farther.


Yeah, that guy is *too* into horses.

Is it weird to be in love with someone stictly for their comedic prowess? Because I am, and I'm a straight male. Idk how to feel.

was the cake good tho?

A French AA meeting Damn that's the smokiest place I could ever imagine

4:11 no bullet holes hahaha

Every single time I think you guys spent a ridiculous amount of money to do something hilariously stupid; you go out and break something else out even better.
Slow clap John. Slow clap dude.
You're awesome.

Q: Why on earth is John Oliver pretending to give a shit about Turkmenistan?

A: "The United States and Turkmenistan continue to disagree about the latter country's path toward democratic and economic reform. The United States has publicly advocated industrial privatization, market liberalization, and fiscal reform, as well as legal and regulatory reforms to open up the economy to foreign trade and investment, as the best way to achieve prosperity and true independence and sovereignty.

Turkmenistan has an embassy in Washington, D.C.
The United States embassy, USAID, and the Peace Corps are located in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Turkmenistan

I don't know who loves horses more? Berdimuhamedov or Tina Belcher?

Who else think John Oliver could out-lift Berdimuhamedov?

And THAT IS ALL FOLKS!!..and that's all..too bad that that's not "all..and done.." for America..say..why was Clinton EMPEACHED again..?

You also forgot this show as one of the worst things in this world.

I roared when he asked,” Who wants some fucking cake?”
Then seeing that cake. Bravo John.
Bravo.

I really want to see the recording when they submit their budget request

this guy is literally a Tropico game. there is a level where you have to collect a bunch of world records

“The world's largest marble cake was made for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, for an episode on Turkmenistan's authoritarian president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. It is a at 600 sq/ft cake featuring an edible image of Berdimuhamedow falling off a horse, with a marble-textured frame and red trimmings. According to Oliver, Guinness World Records, which was criticized in the episode for its relations with authoritarian regimes, refused to certify the record unless the show signed a contract prohibiting it from criticizing the company. The cake was presented on 11 August 2019 and shared with the show's audience, with the remains going to City Harvest.”

I worked in Turkmenistan, everybody thinks they are in the 2%
