John Oliver really enjoys a good post-Brexit rant.
After taking down Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, the English satirist released a celebratory clip for July 4.
“It might be worth thinking about just the handful of things you gave up when kicking Britain unceremoniously out of this country,” Oliver said.
“First, the accents: these beautiful vowel sounds could have been yours,” said the British host. “But instead, from sea to shining sea, you speak like you just burnt your tongue on a hot apple pie.”
Other things on the list are bowler hats and mince pies, "which are a lot like British people themselves: a hardened outer layer gives the impression of composure but under the surface it's just a hot fucking mess."
But the thing that Americans are really missing out on is pessimism, according to Oliver. "We are painfully aware of our limits," he said.
