The Chase often has everyone laughing (Pictures: ITV)
You can always rely on The Chase to put you in a good mood with its weird and wonderful moments.
Over the past 15 years, the ITV gameshow has given viewers their fair share of hilarious moments – from rude questions to embarrassing gaffes and even destroying the show itself.
Even presenter Bradley Walsh can barely keep a straight face, with his explosive laughter becoming synonymous with the show.
And despite their intimidating demeanour, chasers Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis often can’t help but crack a smile.
We would go as far as saying it’s the funniest show on TV right now, giving us some genuinely unpredictable comedic moments.
As The Chase celebrates its 15th anniversary, here’s the proof…
Decorative nobs
Honestly, could you resist making a joke? (Picture: ITV)
Bradley was forced to give one cheeky contestant a warning after their NSFW remark to a question.
An episode back in January saw Nesta, David, Reece and Andrea tasked with teaming up and building up the prize pool.
One of the questions Reece was faced with was: ‘In ceramics, what is a finial?’
The possible answers were an ornate spout, a relief panel or a decorative knob.
After locking in the final option, Reece cheekily declared he ‘knew a lot about decorative knobs’, and Bradley couldn’t contain himself.
The links between contestant’s names
The Chase viewers have cottoned onto the strange coincidence with contestant’s names.
Often there is an unusual link between the four contestants – who have never met each other before appearing on the show.
Their names are linked by a common theme – and we’ve had everything from famous musicians to Avengers, and even the Royal Family.
Last year, viewers were left stunned by an episode where every contestant had a link to The Spice Girls – Gerry, Emma, Mel, and Victoria.
A giant cock in Trafalgar Square
Yes, you read that correctly.
In 2015,Bradley was faced with having to ask the question: ‘The giant cock that was placed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2013 is what colour?’
Could you read that without letting out a smile or a little chuckle? Nope, neither could Bradley or contestant Anne who both couldn’t help but laugh, and it wasn’t the first time…
Dick Tingeler and Willi Wakker
The Chase often descends into absolute chaos thanks to the most simple questions.
If it’s not Gobbler’s Nob, Daisy Badger, or Golden Balls – it’s the infamous Dick Tingeler and Willi Wakker that crack Bradley up.
During a celebrity edition of the show in 2012, comedian Tim Vine was asked what the animated character Andy Capp was known as in Germany – Dick Tingeler, Helmut Schmaker, and Willi Wakker.
The Beast, aka Mark Labbett, tried to keep his cool, but both Tim and Bradley were howling with laughter alongside the audience and fellow contestants. And, of course, the viewers at home.
