John Oliver at The Economist's "World in 2010" Festival

[Turbo9987]

not because it was easy, but because it was haaaaaaahd! LOL

[AngieEnz84]

Americans who are offended, chill. It's. A. Joke.

I love John Oliver. He's my favorite of the current crop of correspondents still running around at "The Daily Show".

[TweekDash]

I have the same accent as him (Brummy). I hate it!

[mydickmilk]

you've seen your dads penis!!!!!!

[Lamashtar]

love this man!

[joshuaoha]

He may be joking, but these are things that make me feel proud!

[SirFrancealot]

John Oliver is, unsurprisingly, fucking hilarious. I wonder how much time he had for this set though. Even though he got his start as a comic, here his timing seems pretty rushed (as in he's not giving the audience time to fully appreciate the hilarious genius of each of his jokes before he moves on to the next). Anyone know where I can find a full version of this set?

[bromonster]

So hilarious... makes the Daily Show the greatest (however Stephen Colbert has a better book than John Stewart

[draklia]

When you stop asking us if we've met the queen, we'll stop calling you idiots.



[DisturbedHavok]

As an American, this is hilarious. John Oliver actually wants to stay here and become a US citizen, and he loves Football (what we call football, not what the UK calls football).

Lighten the hell up my fellow Americans.

[800adam008]

JOHN OLIVER IS NOOOT FUNNY

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

I'm so sorry, John. I'm sure whatever it is you're saying is very funny and worth hearing but I AM AFRAID YOUR PANTS SIMPLY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO CONCENTRATE.

[Asarelah]

@I4gotmyMANTRA

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

[samssalman]

Many "talented" people wish they could generate as much laughter from an audience as he does on this video (its not pre recorded sound). But i understand americans dont like being called idiots. Then again, what other reaction do you expect from the world when they promote Foxnews, (un)intelligent design, King...

Very funny video.

[pretzelberg]

This bloke is an embarrassment. A talentless idiot, who has only his Britishness to profit from. An entire evening with him??

[Annebelle337]

I love everything about this video.

[adeak33]

*ahead.... my bad :)

[evilmrsteve1978]

Bedfordshire Youth Theatre misses your talent.

[IoEstasCedonta]

I think that is the single worst impression of John F. Kennedy I have EVER heard. EVER.

[mickvick95]

Proffesor Duncan???

[jonno2019]

hahah americans are fucking idiots.

[adeak33]

@jonno2019 Come over here and say that. haha. We let the funny ones get away with it in exchange for entertaining us, but you wouldn't get too far. And BTW - You Brits are the only people who could possibly start a colony and then lose it... TO THE FUCKING COLONISTS! haha. Cheerio!

[EndofAutumn]

@adeak33 and the funny thing is, if it wasnt for Britain, your nation would never of existed. It was be entirely spanish or french

[lnconvenient]

how does he get this stuff

[2Lazy4aRealName]

just saw him about an hour ago, the man is a genious

[richardninertwo]

economists are known for their excellent taste in humor. they're a difficulty crowd to entertain...

[TheDigitalDan]

@richardninertwo "difficult" But I agree.

[Aelle2000]

ahahaha

[Gravesend83]

He should have his own show, this man is brilliant!

[DesmondE]

John Oliver is great

[sirhs6991]

Holy shit. I'm feeling queezy as hell and that talk about throwing up all over yourself was not fun.. funny though.

[BideoVlog]

Long Live Joey Chestnut!

[TheConciseStatement]

Love when he says "hard" with a kind of rough Scouse accent!

[PathFinderJAG1]

I think it was meant to be JFK

[Alyssa71808]

John was AMAZING! saw him perform for our winter carnival. He made me laugh till i couldnt breath! <3

[tty1]

Uh, he isn't. Did you only watch like the first 20 seconds before he got to the punchline? He just ripped on America hardcore. Get a fucking lobotomy, you cunt.

[neobob187]

@tty1 American's are fucking idiots! And you're fucking proof moron.

[Halofreakanoid]

You're an idiot, as Mr. Oliver has just mentioned.

He's amazingly hilarious, so stfu or gtfo.

[Bobchai]

5 stars, favorited and shared!
