On Sunday's episode of "Last Week Tonight," John Oliver finally went after Donald Trump.
The British late night host has long refused to give Trump the attention he craves, but with Trump's path to the Republican nomination becoming increasingly, scarily clear, Oliver decided to throw down the gauntlet.
The evening's best moment came when Oliver revealed that, according to a biography of the Trump family, an ancestor had changed the family name to Trump from Drumpf - a name that, as Oliver says, resembles "the sound produced when a morbidly obese pigeon flies into the window of a foreclosed Old Navy".

The show concluded with a plea for Americans to #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain. If you need help, check out this website, where you can get your very own "Make Donald Drumpf Again" hat and a Google Chrome extension that changes every mention of Trump to Drumpf.
Naturally, the Twitterverse had lots to say about Donald's Drumpfing:
