    He needs to win an Emmy just for this episode alone
  • @heatherbeck9510
    I am terribly sad because I can never watch this for the first time again.
  • @lilacskies7695
    It’s so fucking funny that Bob got dunked on so fucking hard that this show was nominated for a fucking Emmy for this song.
  • @cloud__99
    I love how “He doesn’t like Tom Hanks” counts as “no reasonable person could construe as factual”.
  • @dabbingtoast7743
    Murray: They won’t do that again. John: You should’ve aimed for the head.
  • @TheJrbdog
    The best thing about GoT ending is John Oliver inheriting their budget.
  • @LanieDeadrock
    "Told Hitler to quit painting and to find a new career" is probably the most savage insult I've ever heard about anyone.
  • John Oliver is pure chaotic good and I’m so glad HBO keeps giving him the funding to do whatever the fuck he wants
  • @tylercgarrison
    "see ya in court, fuckface" John Oliver is a god damn legend
  • “The Red Wedding is the most brutal slaughter ever on HBO.” John Oliver: hold my sequined top hat...
  • Being one of their lawyers must be simultaneously the most stressful and the most entertaining job ever. Because on the one hand, John basically dares rich assholes to sue him every single week, but on the other hand, you get to hear things like “geriatric dr. Evil” and “a staff member dressed in a squirrel costume saying ‘eat shit Bob!’” read out loud in a courtroom.
  • @Verdugo_Arulaq
    I love this was basically Bob slapping John and saying “that’ll shut you up” only for John to pull a pro gamer move and swing back harder
  • @FatBadgerStudios
    HBO should sell this song as a single in order to pay for the inevitable legal fees
  • @Shystee53
    John Stewart is watching this somewhere with a tear in his eye saying "That's my boy..."
  • @velvittbunn624
    For anyone wondering, the guy playing johns legal counsel is named Brian D’Arcy James. He’s in a wonderful (absolutely hysterical) musical called Something Rotten that has the exactly the same energy as Johns song and is absolutely a national icon.

    Every time I come back to this(which is often), the sheer petty rage of “hey Bob, is this as bad as you feared?” floors me like a semi driven by the decomposing corpse of Bob Murray
  • @markgalione
    It's great when the good guys have a budget
  • I don't think the guy who wrote "Eat Shit Bob!" ever thought his memo would inspire a broadway styled musical number.
  • @emilyrasputin
    Bob Murray and his lawyers: You can't use this as material, we'll sue you John Oliver: does it anyway and then uses their lawsuit as material too
  • @kaned5543
    Whenever I'm having a bad day, I come back and watch this episode. It's fucking gold.
