John Oliver

John Oliver
When I heard that Hitler had problems with flatulence, it's funny. What - does that make him a funny man? No. It means he had funny moments when his rear end was speaking louder than his mouth.
John Oliver
I think it might honestly be time for the Sunshine State to officially change its motto to the Worst State.
John Oliver
I have exactly as much rhythm as you think I have.
John Oliver
Iran is the middle child of the Axis of Evil. Iraq is the oldest child and gets the lion's share of the attention, and North Korea is the crazy baby.
John Oliver
Everybody should care about facts. That is something all of us should agree on.
