The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has posted three YouTube videos over the past several weeks that purport to show the beheadings of two American journalists and a British aid worker, resulting in countries banding together, vowing to fight the militants.

John Oliver is calling out one country in particular, though: On his show Sunday night, he nominated Peru to step up and put an end to the militant group's tactics. (According to Oliver, the country has nothing better to do with its time than to hang loose with alpacas.)

"Life isn't just a fairytale land of alpacas and pan flutes," he says in the video above. "At some point you need to pull your weight."
