John Oliver: New Year's Eve is the worst

There's always so much hype around planning and executing awesome New Year's Eve plansbut comedian John Oliver says enough is enough.

In a special online-only video from his show Last Week Tonight, he explains why the noisy, drunken holiday is terrible and suggests a few ways to get out of celebrating it altogether.

"New Year's Eve is like the death of a pet: You know it's going to happen, but somehow, you're never truly prepared for how awful it is," Oliver says.

He continues, "New Year's Eve is THE WORST. 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."

His advice: "The best thing you can do is avoid the whole evening."
