#10: Paul Rudd’s Basic Instinct
Turns out there was a lot more sexual tension on the set of “Ant-Man” than we thought. While promoting “Captain America: Civil War,” Paul Rudd went into some background detail about his time during his solo flick as Marvel’s tiniest hero. Apparently during one of Michael Douglas’ monologues, Paul Rudd thought it would be a genius idea if he re-enacted the famous scene from “Basic Instinct” by pretending to expose himself. As it turns out, he’s no Sharon Stone and - after some fumbling - he ended up getting called out by Michael Douglas as a pervert. Ouch.
#9: Pick-Up Lines
This has got to be one of the best couch line-ups the show’s ever had. Bryan Cranston, Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch together turned out to be comedy gold, and nowhere more so than when it was revealed that the “Breaking Bad” star had once worked as a director for old school dating videos. This, of course, led the three of them to try and recreate them. As such, we’re welcomed to the surreal, yet oh so funny, scenario of Heisenberg, Newt Scamander, and Doctor Strange delivering some incredibly cheesy, yet oddly effective, pick-up lines. Is it hot in here?
#8: Hulk Burn
Top 10 MCU Questions Answered in She Hulk
If you thought the giant green rage monster was destructive when he went on a rampage, just wait until you hear some of Mark Ruffalo’s epic disses. Along with two of his Avengers co-stars, they are joined on the couch by English comedian Josh Widdicombe, who at one point is asked about his greatest fear. Now, despite undoubtedly having to face hecklers in his life, Josh, as well as everyone else, is totally unprepared for Mark Ruffalo’s interjection, where he insinuates that the young Brit was probably terrified of girls over twelve. The Hulk truly is a savage. Well-played.
#7: Greg Davies Breaks Ryan Gosling
You’d think that by having to share the spotlight with heavyweights like Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe, and Ryan Gosling, British comedian Greg Davies would be feel slightly overshadowed. Well, not after this. Recalling a time when he used to be a teacher, Greg Davies tells the story about the day he came into school hung-over, suffered a horrific bowel movement, and realized he was wearing his mother’s underwear by mistake. To make matters worse, while he was having this crisis, he forgot he was hooked up to a microphone directly linked to a hearing-impaired student. We’re not sure what’s funnier, the story itself or Ryan Gosling’s face as he fails to remain composed.
#6: Eyebrow Off
Who would have thought that the Mother of Dragons and the Enchantress would have something in common? As it happens, both Emilia Clarke and Cara Delevingne are quite talented when it comes to showing off their eyebrows, which they put to the test as they proceeded to move them to music in ways that few of us can probably pull off. Granted, we’re not sure that’s going to help Khaleesi take back Westeros or stop “Suicide Squad” from being a terrible film, but it’s damn entertaining to watch!
#5: Jack Whitehall’s Illiterate Toilet Incident
Top 10 Jack & Karen Moments on Will & Grace
Turns out British comedian Jack Whitehall and Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence make quite the dynamic duo. Their story involving Harrison Ford was a gem, but by far the funniest moment came from when Jack Whitehall explained a rather unfortunate incident when he was in a restaurant in Spain. Faced with a seemingly broken toilet, he tried madly to explain to a Spanish-speaking waiter his little dilemma regarding their faulty facilities. As if the language barrier wasn’t bad enough, the fact that Jack had to drag the waiter to said toilet, only for it to suddenly work, makes the whole tale as awkward as it is hilarious - with Jennifer Lawrence barely keeping it together throughout.
#4: Chris Pratt’s Perfect Essex Accent
Top 10 Best Chris Farley SNL Sketches
Britain is home to a whole slew of varying accents that foreigners might find difficult to mimic. That’s what made this moment all the more outlandishly amazing when actor Chris Pratt revealed he had mastered the dialect associated with the county of Essex. As it turns out, he’d been exposed to the trashy show “The Only Way Is Essex” while filming “Guardians of the Galaxy” in the UK, and after seeing so much of it, had actually managed to nail the accent. Given everyone’s reactions, the authenticity of it was mind-blowing.
#3: Miriam Margolyes
Despite the fact that she appears prim and proper, and is a veteran actor, this chat show favorite certainly has a naughty streak in her. Every time she’s been on the show, Miriam Margolyes comes armed with a story or memory that’s so out of left field and crass that you and everybody on the couch are left in shock. Whether it’s lending a hand to a masturbating soldier out of a sense of duty, or recollecting the time she became vividly aroused by the sight of Laurence Olivier, whenever the OBE shows up, you can bet she’s bringing a whole lot of laughs with her.
#2: Modeling
Besides winning Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence and Eddie Redmayne seem to have a lot of other things in common. Coincidentally, this includes briefly dabbling in modeling with very mixed results. While we’re not quite sold on Eddie Redmayne rocking those seemingly hand knit sweaters and hoodies, at least they’re a little more presentable than Jennifer Lawrence’s, whose photos never saw the light of day due to her being a tad too… boisterous. Ah well, a loss for the modeling industry is Graham Norton’s gain.
Before we reveal our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Forrest Gump Revisited
- Chris Hemsworth Is Too Perfect
- Mila Kunis’ Klingon
#1: Young Ryan Gosling’s Dance Moves
Top 10 Young Sheldon Moments
Everyone has to start somewhere. While promoting “La La Land,” Ryan Gosling gets something of an unwanted trip down memory lane as Graham reveals they have clips of him as a child at a dance competition. The video itself is adorable to watch, as a young Gosling shows off his moves. But what’s even funnier is when he reveals that behind the scenes the whole thing had a much darker side, what with the other dancers flipping him the bird before his performance started. Kids can be so cruel.
