Many folks who watch this would have a single reaction (he's crazy): the truth is that you have to be almost paradigmatically sane to do what John Oliver does.

John: Absolute zero which is.. which is... cold.
Professor: FUCKING cold.

Loved it. Even better, "We might as well try breeding... it's like you say, there's a 50% chance it'll work."

At that moment, even Walter knew he's been had.

What a relief, I thought it was a sure thing that someday I'd die. Now I find it's only 50/50.

It's 50/50 for everyone. We've just had a rush of 'tails' lately.

WOW, LOVED it. Followed the 50-50 argument to its logical end. Oh Walter... you're out of your league.
