John Oliver rips into New Zealand over its bizarre Eminem court case

John Oliver got him a slice of the "lamest rap beef" in the Southern hemisphere on the return of Last Week Tonight.

That's the awkward yet hilarious court case between New Zealand's ruling National Party and Eminem, who claiming the party infringed copyright by using "Lose Yourself" or a song that sounds remarkably like it.

Oliver mocked the country, which also happens to have "the planet's most worthless bird" and an accent easily made fun of, something that he's revelled in before.

Please keep making fun of Down Under, we like it a lot.
