Last Week Tonight John Oliver: Supreme Dog Court

Last Week Tonight John Oliver: Supreme Dog Court

If the Supreme Court going doggy style looks hilarious but odd to you now, you will soon see the method behind John Oliver’s madness. This is the kind of madness with which genius is often confused. At the present time, cameras aren’t allowed in the Supreme Court, so most coverage of our most important cases is extremely limited, and grossly uninteresting. John Oliver has cleverly  fixed the  problem with real animals and fake paws. As you’ll notice, the dogs hilariously resemble their human counterparts.

The idea stems from the infamous piano (or organ) playing cat meme.John explains that we would never listen to the music alone, but with the addition of the adorable cat, we would gleefully watch an entire concert played by the musical feline. So too, must the Supreme Court add visual interest to their proceedings   Simply insert Supreme Court cases in place of music, and dogs in place of the Justices, and we have a new source of entertainment and up-to-the-minute Supreme Court  discussions that we love to watch!

Here is where you get involved.  John is inviting you – and the major networks to take the animal footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tug71…)
and reenact cases on your own. Tag them with #RealAnimalsFakePaws so they can be found more easily.

You could even insert a local planning board or city council discussion in place of the Supreme Court, the possibilities are endless.
