Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade trying to make each other laugh is the funniest minute and a half of telly you’ll watch this week

If you haven’t already heard about it (or indeed watched it), Amazon’s Last One Laughing UK is a very funny watch.

It features a bunch of comedians trying not to laugh at each other’s jokes and japes – giggle twice and you’re out – spending up to six hours in a Big Brother-style room together, all under the watchful eye of Jimmy Carr.

And, as the name suggests, the last one laughing is the winner.

There’s been no shortage of memorable moments – the Guardian’s write-up captures it very well – and they don’t come much better than this, a laugh-off between Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade which is a minute and a half to make your day better.

A second series please! And a third, while you’re at it….
