For John Oliver 2
Hello Buglers, and hello Andy! Definitely in order of importance.

— John Oliver


John Cornelius "Funky Stuff" Oliver is half of the superhuman duo (which also includes Andy "Pass Me The Zalt" Zaltzman) that is responsible for The Bugle, (default source of news worldwide). Oliver moved to New York city in the United States in 2006, and is therefore well placed to bring the news from the western side of the Atlantic to the Bugle. Should he return to the UK he would be arrested and sentenced to death for being "a traitorous bastard" (in the words of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II).


Education and Training[]

(Please note that for the sake of this article, at least, Oliver’s career started October of 2007 with the release of the first issue of the Bugle, and consequently all activities previous to this date are considered under the category of Education and Training)

  • Attended Cambridge University in the subject of the English as a Second Language. (Luckily for Oliver he is British, and therefore everything he says is by definition correct English).
  • Vice-President of the Cambridge Footlights 1997-1998.
  • A variety of television and radio programs on various BBC outlets; notably the Department with his fellow Bugle birther Andy Zaltzman.(According to Oliver a CD containing all Episodes of 'The Department' will be released "the same day that you can first don ice skates and pirouette across the fiery rivers of hell". A joint undertaking of Buglers worldwide to drill a hole to hell and cool it with fluid oxygen has since proved unsuccessful.)
  • Appeared in the very first episode of 'Green Wing', as a sarcastic car salesman.
  • Prominent member of the National Youth Theatre.
  • Appeared in several episodes of 'Mock the Week' on BBC2, until he was banned for having a beard.
  • Has swam with a turtle, the name of which was not disclosed (though some conspiracy theorists believe that the turtle in question was the offspring of shamu and Florence Nightingale).
  • He has been trained to kill inflaitable balloon elephants with ninja stars by monks in Tibet. However, due to state laws he can only kill ones about to attack and has recently been banned from kids parties due to mass inflaitable genocide.
  • Stood completely still under an oak tree for thirty years.
  • Apprenticed under Sir Samuel of Blackwood as a knight. (He dropped out after two weeks)

Career[]

  • Another Andy Zaltzman collaboration for BBC radio 4, Political Animal.
  • Writer and Correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (2006-present).
  • The Love Guru: 2008, playing character of Dick Pants (a role for which he apparently has been damned to the second ring of Hell for a millennium)
  • John Oliver: Terrifying Times, Comedy Special for Comedy Central 2008, with guest appearance Andy Zaltzman.
  • Community: 2009-present, as Professor Ian Duncan
  • The Smurfs: 2011 as Vanity Smurf.
  • John’s first published work of non fiction is “Won’t Get Fooled Again, An Economic Migrant’s Quest for Acceptance”. Described by the Times book review as “327 pages of self loathing inexplicably interspersed with sloppy poetic verse about a woman named Zooey” (Published by Oxford University Press, forward by Tom Wright)
  • Chairman of the Secretly Jewish Society 1994-1996.
  • John Oliver was the British National Party's candidate for MP from Hereford during the 2010 UK general election. Although he lost the election, standing for the British National Party was sufficient to at last earn John his long-sought R-levels -- where "R" stands for "Racist."[1]
  • John Oliver is one of the many illegitimate sons of screen legend Gene Wilder as evidenced by the same dulcet singing voice manifested in both. Neither father nor son was known for singing, and yet their hidden relationship was exposed by audio comparisons of renditions of Willy Wonka show tunes. Hollywood insiders have reported through various media that John Oliver plans a one-man off broadway show combining urban dance and various cartoon and children's anthems.
  • John Oliver specialises in making footless pigs ejaculate.

Controversial Stances[]

John Oliver has his own cult dedicated to the worship of Pippa Middleton's ass known as the Oliver family. He is now wanted on 7 counts of first degree murder, two charges of destruction to public property, and as an accessory to a further count of grand theft velocipede.

His harsh words have won him the vile hatred from Canada, Mexico, America, and the rest of the world. Save, perhaps, several islands in the South Pacific where he is considered the reincarnation of Roman Polanski (they are unaware that he is still alive) and they only mildly hate him for this.

John stated in his controversial research article published in the British Journal of Criminology entitled "Crime, Really Mother Fuckers?" That crime is a figment of peoples collective conscious and anyone who gets mugged is just trying to justify self harm. He also stated that we have never needed prisons, the only people who go to jail are just really into sadomasochism. He concluded by saying Jeremy Bentham can suck my pie like balls.

In the days leading up to September 11, 2011, John Oliver shocked the world by adamantly maintaining that Sophie (as in "Sophie's Choice" -- yes, THAT Sophie) had it EASY compared to American primetime television viewers forced to choose between two competing broadcasts.[2]

He eventually lost with a final score of 273-269 to Gibbard after 48 hours and 187 rounds.
