John Oliver Watched Tony Abbott Eat An Onion And He Lost It


We already know that Last Week Tonight host John Oliver is permanently bewildered by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and that’s never been truer than this week. On Oliver’s Australian tour, the comedian watched that video of our fearless leader chowing down on raw onions, and he can’t even.

Oliver’s reaction goes from shocked, to disappointed, to bewildered and eventually just confused. The comedian finally said that Abbott now “needs constant supervision”.

Oh boy.
