Once just a correspondent on the "Daily Show," John Oliver now has his own show on HBO in which he calls out the absurdity in everything from the poverty of chicken farmers to white-washing in Hollywood to net neutrality. Here are just a few of his best lines.
1. When he explained why the people of Ferguson were still angry.
There are a lot of opinions about the Black Lives Matter movement but John simplifies it to a point where everyone can understand.
2. When he said what everyone needs to hear about climate change.
Say it louder for the people in the back who still deny the fact that the Earth's temperature is changing because of humans.
3. When he called out Congress.
He may have been in the Daily Show at this point, but he finally said what everyone was thinking and this is when America began to love him.
4. When he also called out anyone who doesn't think the Confederate flag is racist.
Amazingly there are still people who don't think the Confederate flag is racist but hopefully John has educated then on that.
5. When he spoke the truth about sex ed.
Students can't do taxes or know how to use a condom but we sure did memorize the quadratic formula.
6. When no truer words had been spoken about student debt.
Of all his analogies, this has to be one of the best because it is true for pretty much everyone who ever went to college.
7. When he put America's hunger problems in terms we could all understand.
Including a dig at Trump while highlighting the fact that America has a problem it can easily solve, well played Mr. Oliver.
8. When he had this response to which poverty line poor people should be using to measure their quality of life.
This is what all people not living around the poverty line need to hear.
9. When he wasn't wrong when he pointed this out.
He said what we are all thinking, ok people.
10. When he plainly spelled out what people's opinions on transgender people should be.
When Barbara Walters asked what was 'down there' to Caitlyn Jenner, Mr. Oliver described what everyone should think when that question is asked.
11. Finally, these beautiful lines about the OG refugees.
Stay amazing John Oliver, you beautiful, foul-mouthed Brit.
