John Oliver has done it AGAIN. He’s made serious subject matter interesting through the power of comedy (and animals). Last Week Tonight addressed the lack of adequate visual coverage of Supreme Court cases in America. Cameras are not allowed so that makes it difficult to keep the interest of anyone. However, if you insert adorable pups in the place of the justices, manipulate their gestures with puppet hands, and then insert the audio of critical court cases you have ENTERTAINMENT. AND as a public service Oliver kindly provided footage to re-enact your own cases, news outlets and joe or jane schmoe (Yes, you can tag the videos with #RealAnimalsFakePaws. Consider yourself armed!) Enjoy!
BTW, this footage has more views than the actual Last Week Tonight segment that birthed it.
Mentions: We don’t think Justice Kagan looks like Jonah Hill in a wig. She bears a more striking resemblance to this fine British comedy actor. Seriously, it’s uncanny. Watch Last Week Tonight Sundays @11 on HBO.
