More quotes by John Oliver
It's pretty physically unsettling, living life on a visa.
John Oliver
You're sonically racist, Americans. You think we all sound the same, whereas I have definitely a mongrel accent.
John Oliver
Net neutrality: The only two words that promise more boredom in the English language are 'featuring Sting,'
John Oliver
I do not want to leave in [U.S.] ... I cannot make that clear enough to immigration authorities who may be listening to this interview. I don't want to leave, so please don't make me.
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
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
I think puns are not just the lowest form of wit, but the lowest form of human behavior.
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
Anybody who claims to be excited for April Fools' Day is probably a sociopath.
John Oliver
Politics has become infused with narcissism in America.
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 can't relax. I find vacations problematic.
John Oliver
I knew I was going to go into the field and make fun of people to their faces. I knew what I was getting into.
John Oliver
I watch one news channel until my soul can't take it anymore. It's the background of my life.
John Oliver
News is not a game show. You don't win a car if you happen to be right.
John Oliver
The disconnect between America and its military is shocking.
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
A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.
John Oliver
Every empire has to get sucked down the drain. As a British person, I know how it feels.
John Oliver
Stand-up comedy seems like a terrifying thing. Objectively. Before anyone has done it, it seems like one of the most frightening things you could conceive, and there's just no shortcut - you just have to do it.
John Oliver
