Going nuts at the tv

We're having friends around tonight to watch the Big Brother eviction but I'm dreading it as my DH always goes overboard and shouts at the TV etc, I've not known these friends for long and I don't want him to embarrass us and I know that sounds awful and I have tried to talk to him about it but he always laughs it off.

If football is on he's terrible, shouts and screams at the TV, even throws things at it and punches the sofa etc and for the past few nights he has been nuts everytime big brother is on shouting "bully" and "bitch" etc at the screen, throwing things and hurling insults at it.

If he only did it when we were on our own it wouldn't be too bad but just before christmas we had my parents around and DH started it then, at one point he even stood up and started squaring up to the TV telling it to "come on then" etc, my mum thought he'd been taking drugs and when he's not around the kids take the mick out of him by having conversations with the TV etc.

Am I being out of order wanting him to act differently when our friends are here and how do I approach this without causing a row?

He sounds hilarious. PMSL at this!!
And at least he gives a flying one about racist bullying....

Is he like this with people or just with the telly? If it is just the telly I would let it go tbh, and just roll your eyes at your friends and laugh it off, say something like "he gets a bit emotional" and offer them more peanuts.
