Last Week Tonight had this week off for Easter, but John Oliver still found time to tackle YouTube conspiracy theories—a.k.a. science fiction for people who don't understand they're watching science fiction—for his YouTube audience. In particular, Oliver has a theory about Cadbury Cream Eggs (you know, the ones that "taste like mermaid placenta covered in candle wax").

Watch below as he weaves together a vast conspiracy involving Miracle on 34th Street, golden rings, intra-European flights, Bono and triangles to come to a dastardly conclusion: “Clearly here, Cadbury Creme Eggs appear in our stores for the financial benefits of Illuminati elites such as Jay Z, Beyoncé, and Al Sharpton." Even if it's false, it feels amazing to hear.
