John Oliver briefly returned from Last Week Tonight’s summer vacation to provide a little back to school video, one that outlines everything students will not be taught in the upcoming year. Chief among them: Warren G. Harding nicknamed his penis “Jerry,” and European explorers and colonists were actually “genocidal lunatics.”
Oliver , after correctly noting that Harding had a “spectacular” sex life, went class by class: “You will also learn that Africa and Asia are places,” he noted, “But that’s about it. You will leave school knowing as much about those two continents as I know about actor Penn Badgley: You’ll know it’s something that exists in the world, but you won’t be able to give any facts about it, other than the general shape.”
