Video: John Oliver compares April Fools’ Day with St. Patrick’s Day in his latest web exclusive

In fairness, John Oliver has a point here…

With April Fools’ Day almost upon us, John Oliver decided to rip the day apart on the latest web exclusive from his show Last Week Tonight.

The talk show host hates the day so much that he even goes as far as asking viewers to take the Last Week Tonight No-Prank Pledge.

Will you take the pledge? Or will you yet again be ‘that guy’ in the office that puts talcum powder in the hand dryer before anyone else gets to work.

Anyway, here’s a look at Last Week Tonight’s April Fools’ online exclusive…
