re: HBO’s John Oliver Freaks as Town Names Sewage Plant After Him: ‘Go F**k Yourselves’

You think he’s genuinely mad? I’ve never seen his show, but I’d bet he, being a comedian, thinks it’s hilarious they named a sewage plant after him. That’s material for a lifetime

Just like the John Oliver Koala chlamydia ward

In a video shared by Crowe on Twitter, Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin explain that they’d named the ward The John Oliver Koala Chlamydia Ward after Crowe had made an “amazing donation” to help the koalas thanks to Oliver’s purchases in the auction.

Chlamydia is a disease that has had a genuine impact on koala populations in Australia, causing blindness and infertility, and affecting the vast majority of koalas in some areas. Oliver, of course, saw the funny side.

“Well played Russell Crowe. Well played indeed. That may honestly be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen,” said Oliver.

“So what I’m essentially saying here is, we have accomplished everything we set out to do on this show. Which means, thanks very much everyone, but we are fricking done here. That’s right, Let’s shut it down,” he said, as a crew began to bust down the set.

“And please, don’t think of this as a sad occasion,” Oliver asked viewers, said as he packed up props from episodes past.

“Because I leave you in total triumph… And I do hope you enjoyed Last Week Tonight over the years. I know that we made it rather difficult to do that. We did learn some things along the way, didn’t we? And we had exactly four laughs together.”
