I'm John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight.

We're off this week, and this is a pre-recorded segment.

So, as you're watching this, I'm probably off doing something fun, like sitting in this exact same spot waiting patiently for someone to turn the lights back on.

Now, despite not being on the air this week, we thought we would offer you our fourth installment of what we like to call Lost Graphics.

Because every week, our massively talented graphics team produces images to illustrate jokes that sadly, don't end up making it to air.

And we wanted to share some of them with you now.

They will be devoid of context, but honestly, that shouldn't really affect your enjoyment of them.

Like this 1 of Grimace mauling a McDonald's customer.

So, let this actually be a warning to you kids.

If you get between Grimace and his fries, he won't aim to maim, he'll aim to kill.

There's also this image of Jeff Bezos and what appears to be a closet full of Jeff Bezos clones, which is a little creepy, especially as he seems to be eye-fucking at least 1 of them.

And it's that sort of attention to detail that can be found in so many of our graphics, like in this image of a cat looking shocked over something called a dildo boomerang.

Now, first, all you see is a cat and some dildos.

But if you pay close attention, you will notice there's also no assembly required, which is fantastic news for that cat.

You can tell It doesn't want to waste any time fumbling with batteries.

Now, of course, not all of our graphics are designed to haunt your dreams.

Some are very pleasant, like this 1 of Nicolas Cage as Willy Wonka, or this mock-up of someone who is covered in pens and honestly feels pretty great about it.

Or this 1 of a woman staring lovingly at a photo of Colin Firth.

As, by the way, we all do, because I don't care who you are, no 1 looks at that classic closed-mouth grin and doesn't feel joy.

Firth has the most lovable smirk in the game.

He's not coming at you with some Hugh Grant smile, all teeth-first and confident.

No, Colin demonstrates restraint at every turn, from the big screen to the carpet.

Colin Andrew Firth keeps his pearly whites where they belong, behind his discreet lips.

And that is why he's not just a transatlantic sweetheart, he is the transatlantic sweetheart.

Now, I will say, there are some graphics where I can't even imagine what the joke might have been in the first place, like this 1 of an all-cats production of Rent, this 1 of me enjoying a concert to the very best of my ability, or this 1 of an ambassador who is an inflatable tube man.

And look, I will leave you tonight with this animation of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal merging into 1 impossibly hot Gyllenhaal.

I do hope you enjoyed these as much as our graphics department enjoyed making them.

We will see you next Sunday, May 2nd, from me and Jackie Gyllenhaal here.
