John Torode
In Celebrity Masterchef. Torode has cooked a mushroom omelette with a load of herbs. The celebs have to guess the ingredients.

Step forward Alex Fletcher of Brookside who stares at the dish and utters the excellent, serious, line:-

"It looks like it's got egg in it... but I'll taste it just to check"

How they didn't burst out laughing is anyone's guess.

Ha ha!
Similar thing happened a couple (?) of years ago and I felt compelled to immortalise it thusly:

She didn't say horse, and I forget what she actually said.

Beautifully immortalised.

"motherfucking snakes" I think.

I saw that
and it reminded me of an anecdote from Graham Chapman's "A Liar's Autobiography".

The Python team were in New Zealand, and Graham ordered a '3-egg omelette'. A few minutes later he was presented with an omelette... inside were 3 fried eggs.

Why is that a guilty laugh?
Unless, of course, you watch the adverts or pay for the channel you view these morons on?
I realise, after a little thought, that it is wrong to laugh at the mentally sub-normal.

I was about to reply in a haughty way
and then read your second sentence. It's more him trying not to laugh than me.
