On Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver mocked Vladimir Putin’s ban of some U.S. agricultural products by announcing that if the Russian president was breaking up with our chicken and soybeans, they’re now single and on the prowl.
“I’m warning you, Russia, I’ll put U.S. chicken on Tinder right now,” threatened Oliver, showing an image of a chicken in the dating app. “This is real. Check Tinder right now, it’s actually there. Some pervert with a chicken fetish just hit the fucking jackpot.”
In the days since, the chicken has apparently been swiped right at least a few times, because the Tinder chats that have taken place are ridiculous and wonderful.
Tweeting screen grabs of them with the hashtag #ChickenTinders, the @LastWeekTonight social media editors seem to be having a field day.
Also, guys are gross.
This guy really wanted to make it work…
