The " say I am not a robot" call reminded me of when I was calling for a state health study and this guy would NOT believe I was NOT a robot. I insisted I wasn't a robot and he insisted that I was. Finally, I said, "Sir, I am NOT a robot." and he shouted, "That's just what a robot would say!" and hung up on me. I went home that night, had a drink, and an existential crisis.

“I am a real person” (laughs)

His tone on "It's ringing! I think it's for you!" is filled with such gleeful spite. I'm so glad we stole this man from Britain.

I'm disappointed the giant finger wasn't the middle finger.

Meanwhile, in Germany, we had a different approach to that problem:

I love this petty man and all of his petty antics so goddamn much

The thing that I love most about John is that he isn't all talk. He actually fucks with people that desperately need it.

This aged well after watching the USPS one where he actually sells stamps lmao

"Hey Tom, could we set up robocalling to spam the fcc? We have a 5000$ budget.

The devil works hard, but John Oliver works harder

Legend says that, even though the calls ended long ago, Ajit Pai still hears them in his head every 90 minutes. The laugh, the pause, the bagpipe music; it all haunts both his nightmares and his waking thoughts.

gotta love the irony of generations of people who made prank calls in their youth being terrorized by robocalls as adults

I picture a bunch of HBO lawyers smoking nervously in a conference room waiting to hear John's next idea for an episode

It gives me so much life whenever John dumps ass on his parent company.

would love an update on this i'm losing my mind

John Oliver and his team are the definition of chaotic good

I work at a relay call center. It's our job to help deaf people process phone calls. When a client calls us and wants us to connect them to someone else, we have to give the receiver of the call a standard introduction, which usually sounds like this: "A person who may be deaf or hard of hearing is calling you through the (state) relay."

And this is why Last Week Tonight keeps winning Emmy awards.

Robocalls are so frustrating when you’re looking for a job. Your phone goes off: is it a job interview? Or a robocall? Sometimes a robocall happens while your actively setting up your interview

"you like that business daddy? Johnny's acting up again" lmfao
