If you’re as fascinated by AI-generated images as John Oliver is, you’ll love the strange and stunning visuals that people are creating using DALL-E. This system uses artificial intelligence to generate images from a text prompt given by the user, and the results are the best we’ve seen from computers yet.
John Oliver and his Last Week Tonight comedy staff input “roast beef superhero” to see what would happen. The results were… interesting, to say the least. Roast Beef Hero might be the Marvel character we didn’t know we needed, but he’s just one of the millions of weird and wonderful AI-generated artworks that DALL-E has created.
AI-Generated Art Is Taking Over the Internet
A.I. art generators like Jasper Art, DALL-E, Craiyon, and Midjourney AI are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason — they can create images in seconds based on text prompts inputted by the user. Artificial intelligence has been used to generate everything from surreal landscapes to portraits of famous people, and the results are often indistinguishable from images created by humans.
AI-generated content is all over the internet, with people sharing it on social media and even creating entire websites dedicated to it. Julia, a member of the Last Week Tonight staff, started entering the names of various late-night hosts and discovered that for most of them, there weren’t many results:
- Conan O’Brien: 14
- Stephen Colbert: 8
- Trevor Noah: 3
- Jimmy Kimmel: 3
But when she input John Oliver’s name into the system, nearly 500 results came back — including some very specific prompts like “John Oliver as an amoeba viewed through a microscope.”
The Cabbage Saga: An AI Art Visual Narrative of Love and Loss
Post-poop-zoomies is a Midjourney user who went above and beyond, creating a series of images titled “the cabbage saga” with fellow AI artist Margaret.
The Cabbage Saga is a whirlwind romance that starts with “John Oliver very confused in a cabbage field” when he notices a sexy cabbage. The parody evolves into an incredible love story, coming to a poignant ending when “John Oliver dumps cabbage ashes into the sea”.

Oh yeah, and in the middle, John Oliver and the cabbage get married?!?
Truly this lengthy series of AI Artworks is a defining masterpiece on Midjourney which tell an emotional visual narrative to rival The Notebook.
John Oliver Marries a Cabagge on Last Week Tonight
But John Oliver went one step further — even though no one asked him to — and gave viewers real footage by reenacting his AI artwork cabbage wedding.
Comedy legend and offbeat actor Steve Buscemi was officiating.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of green cabbage leaves, and the couple exchanged vows of “I will always love you, even when you’re wilted.” You can watch the strange love story of a late-night TV show host and a plant in love below:
