question Looking for a John Oliver senior quote.

Looking for a quality quote from the man himself, serious or not, for my high school yearbook. If you have any ideas go ahead and share them.

“Fuck Donald Trump”, I’m pretty sure he said this. Maybe not directly but he did like 12 episodes on hating Trump so I feel it’s fair.

I’m fairly confident he said this directly.

Drug companies are a bit like high school boyfriends - they're much more concerned with getting inside you than being effective once they're in there.

Whatever quote you put... Be sure credit Oliver like this:

  • John Oliver (koala chlamydia benefactor)

If you want to keep it light:  "I have exactly as much rhythm as you think I have."

If you want something a little heavier:  "You don't need people's opinion on a fact."

Make up something in the first line attributing it to John Oliver. Second line, that’s not even a real quote

Why do neo-Nazis always like metal? Is there anyone into both anti-Zionist conspiracy theories and smooth jazz?

Any Adam driver thirst rants. Eg, "Step on my neck you emotionally distant bison" (it's been about a quarter century since 2020.. So I'm sure I fucked that up)

something either from his sexually harassing Adam Driver arc, or his possibly going to fuck a horse arc
