Oliver mocks John Key, flag debate

November, 2014
Comedian
John Oliver has given Prime Minister John Key's New Zealand flag
plans a humorous spin on US TV.
As
he did while mocking
the National Party's legal battle with Eminem
recently, Oliver made fun of the Kiwi accent on his show Last Week
Tonight. He also offered his own alternatives for the new flag, which
included "a kiwi bird having sex with a hobbit".
"He
wants to change the New Zealand flag - or as they call it there, the
fleg," said Oliver of Key after playing a clip from a recent
Firstline interview.
After
showing another clip in which Key said he is often sat in front of an
Australian flag at international events out of confusion, Oliver said
it was a practical joke made by other world leaders.
Oliver
then plays a
clip from The Paul Henry Show
in which Key is told one of his proposed new flags looks "bloody
horrible".
"How
are you allowed to speak to your Prime Minister like that?" asks
Oliver.
"It
seems New Zealanders treat their leaders like Americans treat
managers at Appleby's!"
