Fun Lovin’ Criminal? More like Fun Hatin’ Criminal if you ask us. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!
In case you missed last night’s episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Fun Lovin’ Criminals front man and BBC Radio 6 DJ Huey Morgan smashed a mug and stormed off set after falling out with guest hosts Rizzle Kicks.
During the show’s final round, ‘Next Lines’, Morgan clearly began to sulk as the hosts started to read out lyrics to his own famous songs. After noticing that the moping musician was becoming unhappy, Jordan ‘Rizzle’ Stephens asked, “are you alright with that?”
What follows is four minutes of Morgan becoming increasingly frustrated, the hip-hop duo becoming increasingly more amused, and we the audience becoming increasingly entertained.
To be fair to everyone else on set, including our very own daughter of Éire, Laura Whitmore, they all handle it brilliantly, especially considering that Morgan eventually seems to genuinely lose his temper in a violent way by dangerously smashing a mug right beside his team mates Phill Jupitus and Whitmore.
As JOE’s Granny always used to say, “it’s all fun and games until someone almost gets a shard of Buzzcocks mug to the eye after Huey from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals smashes it in a fit of anger.”
That’s right, always used to say that…
While everyone else essentially just laughs at him, Morgan comes across as petty, angry, violent and unlikable, with Noel Fielding then throwing a hissy fit of his own, gently pushing over his own mug before confiscating the mugs of everyone around him. All in the interest of health and safety and comedy.
It’s not the first time that someone has stormed off the set of Buzzcocks, a show that’s brilliantly renowned for its scathing and sarcastic humour. Remember Preston from The Ordinary Boys versus Simon Amstell? Of course you do…
