Grammar's great divide: The Oxford comma

If you read "Bob a DJ and a clown" on a guest list are three people coming to the party or only one? That depends on whether you're for or against the Oxford comma -- perhaps the most hotly contested punctuation mark of all time. When do we use one? Can it really be optional or is there a universal rule? TED-Ed explores both sides of this comma conundrum.
