While Channel 4 brought in Jimmy Carr to make the world a little bit worse with every word that staggered from his stupid face, the BBC's election coverage turned out to be full of presumably unintentional comedy gems. Here are some of my favourites.
"Where is Lembit Opik? Has he been killed?"
"You're not ruling out the possibility of getting into bed with Peter Mandelson?" - Jeremy Paxman, in front of Peter Mandelson.
"Let's isolate Scotland." -BBC presenter Jeremy Vine.
"The Queen is like Heineken lager; she reaches the parts others cannot reach." - a BBC political analyst.
"An asteroid has hit Lembit Opik!"
"Whatever type of Walls sausage is contrived by this great experiment, the dominant ingredient has got to be conservatism; the meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative." - Boris Johnson.
"The Queen can only be activated at certain times." - the "Heineken" analyst again.
