It really helps a comedian to be an outsider.
John Oliver

John Oliver
I know I'd be an absolutely horrendous politician.
John Oliver
Florida, just because you're shaped like some combination of a gun and a d*ck doesn't mean you have to act that way.
John Oliver
Teenagers falling off skateboards - funny. Nut shots - funny. Breaking wind - funny. The world cannot change those. Those three things are columns upon which humor is built.
John Oliver
Congratulations, Congress! 77% disapproval rating! You may be about to become the English language's most offensive C-word.
John Oliver
I have exactly as much rhythm as you think I have.
John Oliver
Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.
