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
I care about facts the way I care about oxygen and imbibing enough water a day to live.
John Oliver
Drug companies are a bit like high school boyfriends - they're much more concerned with getting inside you than being effective once they're in there.
John Oliver
Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in. They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.
John Oliver
There are so many low points with stand-up. You are perpetually humiliated, so it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't have any dignity left to lose. An audience can’t hurt you anymore when you’ve been completely dismantled.
John Oliver
I have exactly as much rhythm as you think I have.
John Oliver
Believe it or not the war on Iraq is based on a sound scientific principle, The bee hive principle.

John Oliver
There is no greater anesthetic than sport.
John Oliver
I don't think I'm identified as the anchorman, I think I'm identified as the impostor anchorman - there's a very clear line there ... I don't think it changes the way they respond.
John Oliver
It's pretty physically unsettling, living life on a visa.
John Oliver
Politicians don't really bring up religion in England.
John Oliver
I think Americans still can't help but respond to the natural authority of this voice. Deep down they long to be told what to do by a British accent. That's why so many infomercials have British people.
John Oliver
I think I'm just a summer fling that people will soon forget.
John Oliver
It's a great time to be doing political satire when the world is on a knife edge.
John Oliver
I can't relax. I find vacations problematic.
John Oliver
Net neutrality: The only two words that promise more boredom in the English language are 'featuring Sting,'
