He Seems Like Someone Who Might Have Done It - John Oliver On The J.D. Vance Couch Rumor

[@kevinr6930]

The reason we all believed it is because we all took one look at Vance and said to ourselves, "Makes sense."

[@ConceiveBelieveAchieveTarot]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tickytacky8078]

If you're forcing your wife to do anything, including vote for you, maybe the couch is the next viable option. VOTE.

[@Tomscomment]

My first reaction, too.

[@deansheets]

I think most Democrats and Republicans all agreed that vance x couch just makes sense lol.

[@WyvernYT]

Maybe he didn't, but we all know he might have.

[@CPine-eh1rj]

He didn’t need to shed tears ….. the venerability and conviction showed in his eyes and words so intensely. The raw emotion of the last many years seemed to break through the John Oliver persona and gift the viewers a glimpse of the true John Oliver. It moved me to tears! Thank you for that beautiful gift and I hope your words get through to the undecided.

[@AndyAcker]

Agreed. It truly was one of his clearest, most heartfelt convictions ever expressed on his show.

[@tiborosz1825]

Thanx..I needed a good vomit.

[@lucieciepka1031]

Seeing John Oliver outside of last week tonight is like eating a Bûche de Noël in March, like eating a birthday cake without anyone having a birthday. Like having an unconditional treat, we were good, but it wasn’t for a treat and yet we have one.

[@anthill1510]

This is so beautifully written and I totally agree.

[@sagebreeze]

I love this lol

[@thepadonthepondbythescum]

It was hard to figure out what John really felt on the subject for a moment there... "He never actually denied it!" with a smirk and a glint in his eye. It's why he wins the Emmys IMO.

[@thepadonthepondbythescum]

I must point out that "glint" is the masculine aggressive of "twinkle" in this case. Sometimes he has "Twinkle Eye" too. You know when!

I keep seeing tropic come up, and I NEVER have an issue. I paused this video at 04:21 to check out the comments, the cbs logo is there, the band is playing the break jingle, and in about 2 seconds after I unpause, the next chronological video will pop up for me to click on in the top right hand corner of my screen. I have premium, so maybe that’s it?

[@HarmoneaSinn]

I was watching the most recent episode of Last Week Tonight as second-monitor content and there was definitely a quaver in John's voice that yanked my attention hard to see if he was crying. I never saw tears, but he was more emotional than he has been about most things. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Some of the most memorable moments on television are when comedians get serious.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

His voice sounds like it is quavering in this interview. So he just might be catching something. Maybe he stopped taking anti-allergy meds thinking ragweed season was done but the now lower but not zero content is getting to him.

[@paulajc88]

Love John Oliver- so sharp & witty, an international treasure 😀

[@SRowntree]

Vance can't prove he never inappropriately touched any furniture

[@mr.joshua6818]

I think we should all reserve judgement until we hear from the couch.

"It's all mirrors in here, reflecting back out." John Oliver

[@jbwilliams1564]

There is a certain cadence in John’s voice during this. It’s like he’s short of breath and that makes it seem like he is about to cry.

[@Anonymouse428]

I didn’t know it was possible for me to be more attracted to John Oliver and then I found out Elon Musk hates him . ..

[@parkerbond9400]

A couple years ago there was a study of how educated you were about current events, etc. based on where you got your news from. (You could select as many or as few as you wanted) Last Week Tonight viewers were the best, and people who listed Twitter were the least educated.

J.D. Vance never flipped positions with his couch. Unlike when he called Tump an American Hitler.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Gotta love Oliver man,

[@RB-oc7ti]

Why? He is annoyingly smug and a name caller. He is part of the reason why Americans are so divided. Demonizing people who don’t think like you creates a divide that cannot be bridged. Oh well… he’s laughing to the bank.

[@dieknakkermetdathaar]

That Elon bit was just too good. And spot on

[@jayczzzya]

So true. No matter how many memes he shares or kitchen sinks he carries into a company he is about to destroy he will never be funny. Musk has zero aura

[@WilliesGarden]

This is great! Since I left shitter when Leon bought it because I felt complicit in Leon's crimes by just having an account, I had no idea of a hillbilly feud between Leon and Oliver. Can't wait to dive into this 💯

[@tombesson7293]

1:28 Damn JD's lawyers must have been working hard on this. You can tell they have to say this. Seth Meyers did it as well. No matter how they bring it up, they have to end the passage saying that JD Vance did not bang a couch. But the way they still keep bringing it up and even explain that the legal efforts mean nothing in the aftermath of the rumor is gloroius. 🛋️

[@AWSVids]

[@Dane-ish]

[@simonagree4070]

Oliver's analysis of humor and Musk is spot on, and it applies to the entire Republican Party. They have no funny, and they are intensely jealous of those who do.

[@peytongonavy]

I empathize with John on the weird cry schedule. I wish I cried more often, 'cause it'd be good for my eyes, good for my soul. But I only ever cry when a loved one dies, when a videogame character dies, when I see a really well-made trailer for anything, or if I feel unfairly treated. National tragedies, deaths of people I know that aren't immediate family, most kinds of bad news won't make me cry, but I'm grateful for the times they do. Cried more often when I was younger, duh.

[@coltaine503]
