Countdown Blooper - Poo

Poo appears in the letter selection and if that wasn't bad enough the next consonant is "f" - All copyright remains with Yorkshire Television and ITV Productions - PLEASE COMMENT!

[@koksy]

Its the camp guy that comes on to take the letters off saying "why? why?" that makes me laugh!😆

[@wolffromthejungle3894]

I think he said "Y, Y" as if it would make "POOFY"

[@joebleasdale5557]

Aww they were always having a laugh on Countdown. RIP Whiteley

[@Tubewings]

For those that don't get it, "poof" is English slang for a male homosexual, especially one who is effeminate. That's why they were laughing uncontrollably.

[@derrickderrick7191]

really....

[@PastyMancer]

Honestly, the only time I've seen the word poof used as that is in Tim Minchin's 5 poofs and 2 pianos, which is satire on a newspaper article called 4 poofs and 1 piano

IDIIIOOOTT!!

[@lordlucan3241]

Ooh,they would be in trouble now,especially the producer acting camp and Carole Vorderman doing the downward hand sign.🤭🤫 Ssshhhhh be quiet because Carole will say nowadays she was never homophobic.🤭🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@morbidsearch]

Ah yes, because today's British media is so considerate of the feelings of LGBT people. It's not like even the Guardian constantly platforms TERFs who call transwomen a danger to women's spaces.

[@spudhead169]

Homophobic? She had an irrational fear of sameness?

[@lordlucan3241]

@@spudhead169 You obviously don't know the meaning of Homophobic do you ? Typical KZbin moron.🙄🤣🤣🤣 Spudhead is a good name for you.😂😂😂 Homophobia is the fear of gayness regardless of sex. I bet you delete your comment fool.👋👋👋

[@spudhead169]

@@lordlucan3241 Homo means "Same" Phobia means "Irrational Fear". I know perfectly well what most ignorant idiots think it means, after all it was coined by morons with no idea about language. The word Homophobia, literally means "Irrational fear of sameness". The fact you actually don't know that and that you accept a lingually incorrect use of a word makes you the fool. Good day.

[@lordlucan3241]

@@spudhead169 Nope. Now you are just twisting words in a desperate attempt to defend your ignorance. Definition of homophobic as per the dictionary- having or showing a dislike and or prejudice towards gay people. Don't worry , a lot of KZbinrs can't handle being wrong or take criticism and you are no different.Take care.
