Florida

1. The southeasternmost state of the United States of America. Capital: Tallahassee; largest city: Jacksonville.
   • 2015, John Oliver, “Municipal Violations”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 2, episode 7, written by Tim Carvell; Josh Gondelman; Dan Gurewitch; Jeff Maurer; Ben Silva; Will Tracy; Jill Twiss; Seena Vali; Julie Weiner, HBO, Warner Bros. Television:

     In 2012 in Florida, a staggering 88% of all license suspensions were due to failure to comply with summons or fines, which is insane. It also leaves only 12% for Florida’s other most common violations: accidentally taking your golf cart on the freeway, feeding meth to an alligator, feeding an alligator to a meth dealer, and being an alligator meth dealer. Florida!

   • 2015, John Oliver, “Bail”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 2, episode 16, written by Tim Carvell; Josh Gondelman; Dan Gurewitch; Jeff Maurer; Ben Silva; Will Tracy; Jill Twiss; Seena Vali; Julie Weiner, HBO, Warner Bros. Television:

     An-And pretrial service programs have succeeded around the country in places ranging from Oregon to Florida. And it is a truly frightening state of affairs when Florida is a model for progressive change! It shouldn’t be a judicial example for anything! Did you know, by the way, that under Florida law, if you possess over 5 g of meth, you can marry it. That’s a fact, that’s a legal fact! That’s an actual photo that ran in a newspaper’s wedding section in Florida!

   • 2015, John Oliver, “Food Waste”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 2, episode 21, written by Tim Carvell; Josh Gondelman; Dan Gurewitch; Jeff Maurer; Ben Silva; Will Tracy; Jill Twiss; Seena Vali; Julie Weiner, HBO, Warner Bros. Television:

     Finally this week: North Korea, Earth’s Florida.

   • 2015 August 2, John Oliver, “Washington DC Statehood”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 2, episode 23, HBO:

     And if you’re totally convinced that there should be just 50 states, well then let’s all kick out Florida ’cause no one thinks they’re great. Oh yes, let’s all kick out Florida ’cause no one thinks they’re great. No one thinks they’re great.

   • 2017 February 19, John Oliver, “Putin”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 4, episode 2, written by Tim Carvell; Josh Gondelman; Dan Gurewitch; Jeff Maurer; Ben Silva; Will Tracy; Jill Twiss; Seena Vali; Julie Weiner, HBO, Warner Bros. Television:

     Magnificent! That story contains homemade explosives, a big box store, an idiotic get-rich-quick scheme, and felony charges. If it somehow also involved a snake on meth, you’d have full-on Florida Bingo right there.

2. The peninsula which makes up most of the state.
