Some of them are pretty cringe worthy but that invisible dog takes some beating
One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'

3. John Part's Star Wars routine. Cringeworthy.

2. Steve Hine handing out muffins - a bit unimaginative given that's his day-to-day job. Would be like Terry Jenkins coming on to Antiques Roadshow music and offering to value some items brought along by the crowd.

1. Scott Mitchell. If the tournament organisers ever find themselves short of cash to pay out the prize money, they should give him an invisible cheque :D

Fucking hell that was dire.

BBC used to have a walk-on competition at Lakeside. You'd get Ted and a few others who would have extravagant entrances. The rest were just nondescript blokes walking on stage.

If you've seen an invisible dog taking a beating then you should report it to -

1 - The PDSA

2 - Your nearest local mental health team.

3 - Your dead mums wig. (the next time you're wearing it she'll tell you what to do. like she always does).

I dunno.

The actual walk-on was worse, but at least it took place at an event that no one watched. Warty was making a tit out of himself on national TV.

Ever though it was not an intended gimmick, the sight of ted asleep standing up next to the walk on girl, and then getting shoved on to the stage is the entrance I will always remember

How the fuck has Bunting's walk on not got a mention so far
When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life
