Every empire has to get sucked down the drain. As a British person, I know how it feels.

Here in America, people come out to see what they've known you to do. In England it's like everyone comes out to tell you exactly how well they think you're doing.

I'm British. I don't really have access to my emotions on a daily basis.
John Oliver
Image
You just try to be true to your idea of what is funny and what is also interesting.

I think puns are not just the lowest form of wit, but the lowest form of human behavior.
John Oliver
Image
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.

My family is from Liverpool, so I have some of those vowel sounds, I've got the slack tone of someone from Birmingham, and then I was raised in Bedford, which is just north of London. So my accent, if it's possible, makes even less sense to a Brit than to an American.

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.

The moment I accept that there's an artistic, redeeming quality in puns, I have a horrible feeling I'll get hooked.
