John Oliver explains why ‘The Da Vinci Code’ sucks in 9-minute rant

Final Week Tonight is presently on hiatus, however that hasn’t stopped host John Oliver from taking to YouTube to elucidate his passions. On in the present day’s agenda: his vehement disdain for 2003 novel (and subsequent 2006 movie) The Da Vinci Code.

“No-one ought to want Robert Langdon, a Harvard-educated puzzle solver who fucks, to unravel this,” Oliver stated of the titular code. “A baby may resolve that puzzle!”

To be truthful, he is not fallacious. Rapidly recounting The Da Vinci Code‘s plot, Oliver indulged in virtually 9 minutes of aggravated ranting in regards to the insultingly easy riddle on the centre of the bestselling e-book, griping at its overwhelming success. It has been virtually twenty years since The Da Vinci Code turned a world phenomenon, however apparently Oliver’s irritation burns everlasting.

“Now, what was my level right here?” stated Oliver. “Am I making an attempt to counsel that our temporary however intense obsession with The Da Vinci Code was a metaphor, and one thing indicative of our harmful propensity for getting swept up by comfortingly easy concepts lulling us right into a form of group assume? No, probably not. I simply assume this e-book is fucking unhealthy.”
