John Oliver is one of the most emotionally expressive late night show hosts out there. He frequently rants about various subjects, yells expletives at the graphics beside him, and bangs his hands on his desk to make a point. One might say that he's quite GIFable. I have no doubt that even if you don't watch John Oliver regularly, you can relate on a deep personal level to at least one of his signature movements. Keep reading for a list of times John Oliver accurately described your life.
1. When you have to congratulate someone against your will
We've all been there: someone delivers news that you know you're supposed to be excited about, but you just aren't. That's where the golf clap comes in handy.
2. When all you want to say is, "Get a load of this guy!" but you can't actually say it out loud
It's often difficult to subtly acknowledge the stupidity around you. John Oliver understands.
3. When your faith in humanity is finally restored
Well done mankind, you accomplished something without enormous negative consequences!
4. When you finish your finals and you just want to rub it in someone's face
Yes, you care that your dear friend still has their bio exam tomorrow, but nothing is getting in the way of your celebration!
5. When your friend finally pays you back for the concert ticket you bought them months ago
It happened, but now you know: never again. They will not remember to reimburse you unless you remind them for months.
6. When you treat yourself after a long day of classes, work, and general stress.
Those moments of pure relaxation are few and far between during a busy school year, but when they come, they're glorious.
7. When you're 0.03 points away from an A but this is college and rounding doesn't exist
You may be legally an adult now, but internally you still whine like a baby over the frustration of grades that are literally millimeters from the next highest grade.
8. When your library neighbor and their friend just won't shut up
Your study habits are precious and finely tuned. No one can get in the way of that.
9. When your favorite band is playing nearby and you can't contain your excitement
It's hard not to squeal like a raccoon when you know the concert of your life is in your near future.
10. When you have to explain to your buddy why you never showed up at their party last night
Hey, sometimes things come up, and you genuinely don't have a good reason for not following through. All you can do is shrug your shoulders and hope that your natural charm will carry you forward into your next adventure.
11. When you overhear juicy gossip that you probably should not have heard
What's that you say? So-and-so is taking a gap year? Such-and-such was fired from their job? Oooooh, that's almost too interesting for my ears to handle!
12. When you become fully aware of your own awesomeness
Watch out world, summer is here and you are 100 percent ready for it. So ready that if you could literally shoot fire from your hands in triumph, you would.
John Oliver just seems to get it, doesn't he?
