This week on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, John makes good on his recent vow to drink a Budweiser Light Lime, if and when FIFA got rid of Sepp Blatter. If John envisioned a long campaign of sponsorship pressure, and a span of time to come to terms with facing the lime adversary, Blatter’s resignation must have come as a mixed victory.
Although sponsorship played no part in Blatter’s decision, John Oliver proves he is a man of his word. It might be nice to send him a get-well card. Seriously. Wearing the absurd gold Adidas, Oliver raced through the McDonalds Dollar Menu, declaring “There’s a party in my mouth, and my stomach has called the cops.”
Preparing for the Budweiser challenge, Oliver compared the beer – among other things, to “A lime Jolly Roger fished out of Mickey Rourke’s mouth.” A beach party with a lime theme is in full swing, as John dispatches the bottle of Bud Lime Light in one go. Is it me, or has John’s complexion taken on a lime cast? If John’s stomach called for the police after the Dollar Menu items, I hope someone’s called an ambulance now. His lips say ‘it’s delicious,’ but John’s pallor cannot lie.
