OMG: ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ takes Singapore anti-gambling ad to greater heights

Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly laugh at yet another spoof of the National Council on Problem Gambling’s (NCPG) disastrous World Cup ad… 

But we promise, this one’s for keeps. 

In an episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, award-winning writer and former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart John Oliver, made several follow-up ads to convey the hidden message behind NCPG’s original: gambling is awesome. 

And all of them are hilarious, right down to the casting choice. If it wasn’t for the American accent, we’d have thought NCPG had had a say in these.
