Though Last Week Tonight is on hiatus until 2015, talk show host and comedian John Oliver released a web exclusive on YouTube Sunday night to tell his viewers just how much he hates New Year’s Eve and a variety of ways to get out of those pesky annual plans.

“A holiday that unites all of us, no matter of religious background or ethnicity—and it unites us in hating it, and that’s New Year’s Eve.”

“New Year’s Eve is the worst,” Oliver said. “It combines three of the least pleasant things known to mankind: Forced interaction with strangers, being drunk, cold, and tired, and having to stare at Ryan Seacrest for five solid minutes, waiting for him to tell you what the time is.”

He then offered a list of “excellent, specific” last-minute excuses to help fans bail out on their New Year’s Eve commitments.
