    John looks emotional for a second opening the football kit, immediately gives the middle finger. British attitude in a nutshell.

      I’ll take your word for it that that’s a typical British attitude because my immediate interpretation (as an American) was “that is a truly beautiful friendship” lol.
      My best friends and I would have (at the least) flipped each other off if we opened a really thoughtful gift after giving each other Hell like this : )

      Cheydinal, in the UK we sadly don’t have any American celebs of note (apart from Rich Hall. He’s quite a funny comedian). :( Although we do have a couple of Canadian ones! Like Katherine Ryan.

      Thought it was just me and my tickle-phobia. Watching him being tickled was like watching a beheading.
      The part after that was cute, then serial killer, then funny, then serial killer, then slightly assault-like, then serial killer.
      And so on and so on.

      'liberal' can mean several quite different things. for some examples: the followers of libreralism or people with a high degree of tolerance of others... or just anyone left of regan.
      liberalism *was* progressive in the 17th century, but is now quite old-fashioned. ofc liberals are still often progressive compared to conservatives, but they are pretty backward by comparison to some other groups.

      John Stewart fans, knowing some of Oliver's current approach came from there, might disagree.
      Also, as I've heard SO many Brits, including Oliver himself, say, Americans have a distorted view of English comedy. We generally only see their good comedy, not their enormous amount of bad comedy. If we did we'd have a less overly idealized view.
