April Fool, which is usually celebrated on the first day of April is a day which people have set aside to play pranks and justify it. Even though “Last Week Tonight” did not air last night on HBO in order to make room for “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” John Oliver had a plea that simply could not wait until next week: “Never, ever” celebrate April Fools’ Day, he lamented on his Youtube channel Sunday.
Oliver stated in that video: “April Fools’ Day is to comedy as St. Patrick’s Day is to Irish culture. That is to say, it is a mockery of the very concept that usually ends in a fistfight.”
He proceeded to attack those participants of the “sociopathic” holiday, before asking America to recite a “No Prank Pledge” with him to “stop being a dick.”
“Pranks are terrible,” he said. “And anyone who claims to be excited for April Fools’ Day is probably a sociopath. Because what they’re really saying is, ‘I cannot wait to hurt the people close to me.’”
