Last Week Tonight is taking a break this week, so John Oliver turned to YouTube for his latest hard-hitting takedown. This week’s topic? April Fools’ Day.
For most people, April Fools’ is either a fun opportunity for pranks or a mild annoyance, but John Oliver seems to hate it with a fiery passion.
“Anybody who claims to be excited for April Fools’ Day is probably a sociopath,” he says, before railing against the pointlessness and idiocy of the holiday.
Who knew a comedian could have such a deep and abiding hatred of pranks?
We’re inclined to think that Oliver is being a little harsh, although he did fail to call out one of the most irritating culprits on April Fools’ Day: “fun” pranks from brands. They’re the worst.
