Bob Mortimer‘s winning Last One Laughing joke left some of Britain’s best comedians in hysterics.
The Amazon Prime Video show sees British comics face off in Jimmy Carr‘s challenge to make others laugh while keeping a straight face.
During the final joke showdown, comedians Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade shared a hilarious interaction.
Bob quipped: ‘I was in the cemetery and I saw a bloke get up from behind a gravestone. “Morning,” I said. “No – just having a s***”.’
The joke was from the comic’s book and caused Richard to crack up – meaning Bob walked away as the winner.
‘What I now realise I’d done was essentially sign up to be in goal and just have someone take penalty after penalty after penalty,’ Richard reflected on the exchange.

Eight Out Of 10 Cats star Jimmy admitted he was ‘thrilled’ to be launching the show in the UK with Amazon.
He said: ‘I’m thrilled to be making with Prime Video. It’s sure to deliver and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun with your neighbours.
‘Usually when I make a TV show with 10 brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have a bloody good laugh – but not in this series.
‘The last one laughing wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first.’
