John Oliver Makes CNN a Better Doomsday Video, with Martin Sheen and Cat Bartenders

You may recall all the way back to four months ago when the existence of a CNN “doomsday video” was revealed, apparently having been commissioned by eccentric plutocrat Ted Turner for his cable network to play in the event that humanity finally screws the pooch but good.

Well, John Oliver thought it was boring and kinda 80s-looking, so he made a new one, starring Martin Sheen, viral YouTube videos, lions, eating contests, a Nazi blooper real, and cat bartenders.

Watch it now, as you can’t when you’re dead, via HBO:
