John has said before that he has some tension with HBO's lawyers because "they think their job is to stop us from getting sued, and I think their job is to make sure that when we are sued, we win"

“There’s no funner surface to dance on than thin ice.”

Obsessed with this man.

Stephen: "You've been baiting Disney, which is notoriously litigious"
John: *giddy giggling*

[juliamcwilliam]

I love it how John’s voice goes higher pitched when he’s legitimately excited about something

[Cancun]

Disney might have a hard time suing these two but Stephen has _definitely_ got some mail from Scientology's lawyers by now.

Man, what a week. It's only Monday and we've had both Jon and John on!

[CollinMcLean]

John Oliver isn't just a man who gets a kick out of poking the proverbial bear with a stick, he's standing over it with an airhorn while it's sleeping.
He's the late night host equivalent of the Road Runner.

At around 1:45 John Oliver's brief giggle is the sound mischief makes.

[pmullen]

Absolutely loved the crowd response to the joke about "the first Volkswagens to leave found their way to Argentina."

[BurgerSliderMan]

steamboat mickey controlling the crowd is so subtle but hilarirous.

[trekboy]

Fun fact. That was actually Jon Stewart in the Steamboat Mickey costume. It’s what he does when he is not living under Colbert’s desk.

[brodull]

John Oliver spent 25 minutes of Chucky Cheese coverage on his show so he can use the Steamboat Mickey mascot at the end.

[laalaastl]

It's for good reason that John is Stephen's most often guest. It's because they're besties. Their chemistry is palpable and undeniable.

John's giggle after Stephen says notoriously litigious. Perfection.

[yolosubmarine]

"there's no funner surface to dance on than thin ice" J.O. eternal.

[insane_troll]

John Oliver is truly a master at baiting Disney. You could say, a master baiter.

[nelsonhunter-valls]

The Volkswagen Argentina joke was almost as good as the other joke about rats in this video.

[Mediaright]

Shoutout to Noel MacNeal, whom the rest of you know as "Bear" in the Big Blue House, whose kinda Last Week Tonight's in-house puppeteer/mascot performer. 😃

[TetrahydrocannabissaurusRex]

That Argentina joke is vastly under appreciated. GOLD!

The trend of John Oliver coming out to The Beatles is great, and Martha My Dear is such a great song
