Not really seen anyone do a thread like this so share your funny moments. This can be anything, Wether it's a guest interview that was funny say the guest said something that made the presenters laugh or a funny song the presenters did or anytihng else. Let me know what it was, and when it was

I remember Chris Moyles saying one funny thing after playing Travis:

”Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied at 17? No, mate, it’s because you live in Scotland.”

You can still listen to Chris Moyles on Radio X every morning. He and Dom have me laughing everyday

Not the same for me.
Dom is ace but it needs the whole gang, Chris, Dave , Dom, Aled, Carrie and Rachel.

Chris Moyes show, Carrie reporting from Wimbledon centre court, having to share the space with her recent ex boyfriend and deliberately gatecrashing his live breakfast telly report will always be one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

Not sure if it was breakfast show or one of their other slots, but Mark and Lard referring to someone as ‘psycho Charlie knobcheese’ stands out, but really almost everything they did made me laugh.

Oh it’s awful but another time there was some scenario where they were looking at something or other in a shop window, Lard says ‘there’s the one I’d get’ and Mark says ‘don’t talk about Gabrielle like that’ - so niche and not kind, but it still makes me giggle thinking about it. I’m not even sure whether Gabrielle was part of the set up or it was completely random. I remember snorting with laughter on the bus listening to it on my Walkman.

I actually have very mixed feelings about Chris Moyles, he was awfully sexist, creepy and just plain awful at times and I actually stopped listening to radio X in the mornings once he came over. No denying there’s some funny stuff but often really mean spirited and I always had the sense underneath that he’s a nasty piece of work. That said, the parody songs would make me laugh - remember ‘Totally addicted to Plaice‘ ticking me.

Yes, there was very funny moment on Radio Orwell on 14th October 1981 at 8.27 that made me laugh like a drain.

🤣

About as unPC as possible - it was Chris Moyles interviewing Jeremy Clarkson. I don't remember much about it other than JC about to start reading out his credit card number and CM absolutely panicking and shouting 'no! No, don't tell them THAT!'

I don't remember anything else about it, other than laughing like a drain at the pair of them.

The Janet And John stories read by the late, great Terry Wogan.
There were so many and many of them quite near the knuckle but my word, they were just sooooo funny.🤣
I was often driving when he read them out and if possible I would pull over so I could enjoy them. You would always see other drivers laughing and you just knew they were also tuned into R2.
Have all the CD's (released to support Children In Need) and still play them from time to time as they are so great.

Was never a TOGG (too young back then) but wish the great man was still around as the current offerings on R2 are unlistenable.
Are now firmly tuned into GHR.

Back in about 1989/90 Chris Tarrant had a breakfast radio show. One day, right at the end of the show - I think it was his birthday - he began laughing hysterically and couldn't speak. I was stuck in traffic and watched as all the drivers around me also started laughing, it must have gone on for about 5 minutes! IIRC someone had walked into the studio naked with a birthday cake!

This thread is oddly specific. 🤣
But for me it was Chris Moyles with Dogs Don't Kill People, Rabbits Do.
Also Scott Mills when he did R1 breakfast, with that diary... was it Laura's Diary or something?
Also Flirt Divert. Some of those were hilarious and R1 were providing a valuable service to women.
Breakfast radio is lacklustre now. Even Scott Mills isn't as funny as he used to be, I don't know if R2 just don't let him lower the tone or if he's just grown up a bit these days. 😅 Although that thing the other morning where he went out onto the BBC balcony to play the song from Evita was quite funny.

Oh!
Memory unlocked with Laura’s Diary! That used to really make me laugh 🤣
I’d totally forgotten about that!

SprayWhiteDung · 20/07/2025 16:25

Every single Janet & John story that Terry Wogan read out.

I really miss Terry

ohyesido · 20/07/2025 16:25

Chris Moyles was funny but he went down in my estimation when he did the countdown to Charlotte Church’s 16th birthday. Ick

Chris Tarrant on Capital Radio many moons ago. I don’t even remember the full segment but it was something to do with a hole in a bucket and it made me laugh because he was killing himself laughing.

It was a great breakfast show, Capital Radio was fantastic in the late 80s & early 90s.

@FlyingontheGround Do you know if you can get Radio X on a car radio? I'd heard he was still broadcasting but don't seem to be able to tune to the station by just flicking up and down the frequencies. I do like Scott Mills as well, but Chris Moyles was spectacular, I still can't really believe that the Beeb didn't do more to get him to stay.

It has just dawned on me that I have never laughter to the radio, not once. TV, yes, on occasion.

Have you ever listened to I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue on radio 4. That’ll make you laugh I think.

You're 'not too sure'? So what made you think of this intriguingly specific set of circumstances?
