British comedians are reacting to Thursday night's Brexit vote, many of them disappointed with the outcome.

On Thursday, United Kingdom citizens voted on whether to leave or remain in the European Union. While those on the "leave" side argued for freedom, independence and against immigration, the "remain" side argued that leaving could signal grave danger for the economy. The "leave" side ultimately won out, with close to 52 percent.

Many British comedians have taken to Twitter to blast the decision and show their disappointment. Here's a select few:

John Oliver spoke about Brexit in his most recent episode of Last Week Tonight, arguing against leaving despite the problems with the European Union.

"Here is how I feel about the EU," Oliver said. "It's a complicated, bureaucratic, ambitious, overbearing, inspirational, and consistently irritating institution. And Britain would be absolutely crazy to leave it."

Many other British celebrities have shared their thoughts on the "leave" decision as well:
