Oops on BBC radio yesterday - Hilarious

[Colin_Camper]

A distinguished broadcaster on BBC radio made one of the worst Freudian slips imaginable yesterday morning at 8:00am.

Unfortunately he was referring to the guy who is responsible for funding the BBC, amongst other things. A chap called Jeremy Hunt, Culture secretary.

As you have probably already guessed, the following linked clip contains very bad language but it is very, very funny.

To make matters worse, another distinguished broadcaster did a piece about the incident later on that day and this, also did not go well.

I heard that. :lol:

Hilarious but spoonerisms often are.

They should not put the word 'hunt' before 'culture' in a sentence.

I love the "coughing fit", as if he isn't bursting to laugh out loud!

Presenters should be trained better on how to react to such mistakes.

With that fake cough he was just digging himself deeper.

Funnily enough his name is James Naughtie.:roflmao:

I think she handled that really well actually. No coughing. :lol:

I heard one once that was so bad (given the situation) I almost died laughing.

It was just before the start of the second year at Oxford (I was back early for a resit, another story). Christ Church was one of those colleges that by and large managed to accommodate most undergraduates on site.

Having gone through a lottery process, a lot of guys in the college were sharing suites in the Peckwater quadrangle. Each was typically an old fashioned study with separate bedrooms. Two physicist friends happened to be sharing, one the son of some fairly traditional Iranian parents, the other a regular boyo from the valleys, both sound guys

Anyway, parents of said Iranian chap were visiting and were keen to meet his friends so a whole bunch of us had turned up to say hi. His dad commented on the structure of the suite and asked how they managed to study if either of them wanted to relax or have friends round instead. So, the welsh guy replied, "Oh, it's OK, we have separate desks in our rooms"

Or at least, he thought he did. What he actually said was:

"Oh, it's OK, we have desperate sex in our rooms."

Well, there was a moment of silence that felt like an eternity as I fought the muscles in my face and tried to quell my shoulder heaving... Then the entire room just fell about laughing :lol:

I found the following snippet on Robert Llewellyn's twitter feed.

"I used to work with a women's theatre troupe called the Cunning Stunts, they got introduced awkwardly a couple of times, but they loved it"

I'm surprised nobody has made a hash of 'Face Book' yet. :lol:

Wasn't "packed full of cunning stunts" one of Kenny Everett's catchphrase lines as Cupid Stunt?

I once set up a obscenity filter on a website that seemeed over zealous in its filtration process.

Amongst other funny words it censored, Skittyhorpe would come out as S****horpe.  True story.

It's actually a well-known problem for simple filters; in fact they are often referred to as a "Skittyhorpe" filters

This one happened several years ago when The Lord Of the Rings extended version box set first came out. My brother in law had just bought the set that  day and we were going to watch it later that night. While in the local Morrisons supermarket me and my sister were buying some messages and stocking up on goodies to watch the movie that night.

I said to the sister some Pop Corn would go down well with the movie later on, so we headed  towards the shelves where they usually keep the pop corn but alas the shelves were empty. I said to my sister never mind, she said "hang on I'll ask someone to see if they have any in stock in the back". She called over a young guy who was filling the shelves and and asked "excuse me young man, I can't seem to find any Cop Porn on the shelves could you go through the back and see if you can find any"... :lol:

The young guy with a straight face replied "sorry madam we don't sell such a thing in here" my sister replied "but I have bought Cop Porn here before if you can't find it on the shelves it's usually still in the back of the shop", it was at this point I couldn't contain my laughter any longer and explained to the guy what she was really looking for. As we both stood their laughing and explaining to my sister just what she had said, her face turned a very deep shade of red and it was nearly three months before she ever ventured into the local Morrisions again...

The company I used to work for once had a problem when we installed a new mail server for them, and all of a sudden their Skittyhorpe branch stopped receiving emails from anyone. We had to explain to the IT directors that the obscenity filter was being triggered. Unfortunately they didn't quite get it, so we had to explain in a bit more depth - embarrassing.....

"What do you mean 'there's a c**t in Skittyhorpe' ? Nowhere's perfect. What I want to know is, why aren't they getting their mail?!"
