Of all the JD Vance couch jokes no-one did it better than the magnificent John Oliver

When Donald Trump announced JD Vance as his vice president running mate, people had no idea just how good value the Republican senator would turn out to be.

Not for Trump, obviously, but for the internet, thanks to the (baseless) rumour that the young Vance once used a sofa as a sex toy.

We’ve rounded up all the funniest – and latest – gags that resulted, but surely no-one did it better than the great John Oliver on his HBO show, Last Week Tonight.

And it’s surely the funniest two minutes you’ll watch today.

OMG, John Oliver says the reason you always find change in couch cushions is because “JD Vance always leaves a tip” pic.twitter.com/WPfzp8CS3J

I know this is likely now a bit overdone…still hilarious and certainly John Oliver’s “grand finale” is worth a watch! Point about no denial by the campaign noteworthy!! https://t.co/uyw4JI55mB

This is golden — proof #345 that John Oliver is the king of US comedy shows.

Well, that is, unless Jon Stewart — his former boss and mentor — steps in and borrows that baton for a while, only to return it back. https://t.co/Miq2Z1MGW6
