The Daily Show's John Oliver had some fun with President Obama and the two foreign trips he's taking this summer, although, as Oliver noted, those aren't going all that well with the chilly reception he got in Germany after the recent NSA leaks.

And then there was his bizarre meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin: John Oliver can’t believe Putin’s amazingly ballsy and blatant theft of Superbowl ring:

Wednesday night on The Daily Show, host John Oliver mocked President Barack Obama’s troubled overseas trip. He was particularly entertained by the claim that Vladimir Putin boldly stole a Superbowl ring from New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, suggesting it could explain the current tensions between Obama and the Russian president. Oliver called on Obama to regain his former energy and enthusiasm by retrieving “the One Ring” of Lords of the Ring lore from Putin.

He wrapped things up with a warning for President Obama:

OLIVER: Mr. President, whatever you do, do not let Joe Biden put that ring on his finger.
