On South African national TV the interviewee's chair broke. Still cracks me up to this day. https://youtu.be/XnHIeXQCfog?si=u4kzKfPLKSNGbBf_

Because of their composure, it almost looks like an intended format: you have 20 seconds to make your point before the chair collapses.
Honestly? A political interview show with gags like that would lighten things up. A few "crime is everywhere!!!" politicians would do very well with a whoopie cushion.
The caption declaring him chairperson is absolutely perfect.
That gave me a good laugh on a Monday morning. Thanks.
There must have been some maintenance crew who had been asking for a bigger budget for months...

I wonder if they assisted the chairs downfall...
