While issuing a takedown of Bud Light’s awful new #UpForWhatever tagline last night, which included a clip of a woman calling the campaign a tad “rapey,” John Oliver snuck in quite the perfect description of another awful subject, Floyd Mayweather.

“That’s true, but it would be great if you could use a slightly more serious word than ‘rapey’,” Oliver said. “It’s somewhat diminishing—It’s like saying Floyd Mayweather is a smidge assaulty. It’s technically correct but it’d be more appropriate to say he’s a woman-battering, human landfill. That’d be more on the money.”
