Guy in the crowd who laughs throughout is a complete legend! He must've completely lost his shit when the top left panel revealed the snake watching Mr Chips! Pure class...
One of the most famous moments of the show's history included a bonus catchphrase where the answer to the puzzle was snake charmer. The puzzle was revealed in such a way it appeared to show the partially-revealed Mr Chips masturbating, or perhaps being felated by the snake. The real action was that Mr. Chips was taming or charming the snake, using a cane. This episode was broadcast on 18 November 1994. This moment can sometimes be seen on Challenge whenever Challenge show the 1994 series
When I was a child, I didn't understand what was funny either, although when I grew up a bit (subject to interpretation!), that's when it clicked. Not everyone got it, and Marita didn't... you can't totally blame her. Of course, now that I do get it, I can see why it's so funny and how a relatively innocent image can so easily be corrupted!
this is class roy walker makes it even funnier the way hes laughing and that adience member,the girl contestant didnt look like she had a clue what was going on.its brilliant thanks for posting it
Did anyone else ever notice that 9 times out of 10, the one on the right (red) always wins? That's cos the other one is up far too near to the screen, and it puts them off.
VERY weird this, but I just saw this on a clip show (where game shows go wrong) and this is in it but not 'quite' as rude; his right arm doesn't move. Its like they cleaned it up a little for the TV clip show??!
Considering the out of context nature of the clip, it has been considered by Ofcom to be unsuitable for daytime viewing. There are several versions on Challenge with a similar edit
I love it when the snake head is revealed and Roy just loses it, gets me every time!
Same in 2021! And I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired!
That poor woman is too polite to know what the joke is XD

SCFHH I love this comment so much
Roy’s laugh at 1:39 👍
I'm loving the member of the audience who continues to laugh all the way through...what a LAD!

...and things went from bad to worse, when the snake's head appeared...
so funny : )
This is THE Funniest clip EVER on Catchphrase, made even funnier, by the Lack of any sign of laughing or smiling from the lady contestent. a CLASSIC.
Hey, what Mr Chips wants to do in his own time is up to him!!
I love the fact the woman seems to be totally oblivious!
Got this in my favourites and have to watch it every now and again, so good.
Here comes the bonus...
as the man in the top hat said to the snake.
This is awesome! I loved how the host was laughing when it showed the snake and he and Sean were laughing the whole time. Priceless!
I loved that bit as well. That was this video wasn’t it?
It was the snake appearing which made me laugh the hardest.
The female hasn't got a scooby. lol
Roy Walker superbly maintains control over this moment in TV history! The snake's head appearing kills me every time!
Meanwhile Brad in KIITF: iT’s wRoNg!
Marita - do you know where you are? How many fingers am I holding up?
The fact that it was "Snake Charmer" just brings it full circle.
The best moment in game show history

the guy who animated that had to have done that on purpose!
Hillarious - Roy Walker tries so hard to hold it together. Classic.
this is class roy walker makes it even funnier the way hes laughing and that adience member,the girl contestant didnt look like she had a clue what was going on.its brilliant thanks for posting it
I like how the host managed to keep the show going in the midst of all that laughter.
Was listening to the old XFM The Ricky Gervais Show and had to look this up. Took 20 minutes to find, but it was worth it 🤣
whoever came up with the picture for this one i salute you! (Y)
I never fail to laugh to this. Classic Roy, try to keep it together...ha ha!!
me and mom watchd this episode and was in tears hahahahahaha... love it
Lasso's poker face just makes this even better,
Must be the best ever on a game show
This is British Television Classic
snake chamer geddit gigidy gigidy lol
"I'm gonna wipe the board".
Makes me laugh every time I see it, an absolute classic.
The funniest TV moment ever - they must've fixed the order the squares were revealed but who cares? Genius!
Why must they? Is it impossible that it could have happened purely by chance? No, of course not.
Among the funniest out-takes I have ever seen.
fedokosmokrator Not an outtake tho, is it?
It wasn't an outtake. My sister and I saw it "live" and then couldn't believe what we'd seen. Roy Walker was brilliant.
You'd think being a comedian Roy Walker could have fired off a few knob gags, though maybe it was hard to pull it off.
It was aired in November 1994.
lmao well mr chips certainly was charming his "snake" from the looks of things before all the squares dissapeared!
snake charmer...that has to be some kind of euphemism.
I rlly cracked up laughing when he sai Here comes the bonus and appears a snake head. Best TV moment ever.
i REALLY want this show to air in USA!
Trust us brits to laugh at something so innocent! XD
It's a British English idiom. If someone is very enthusiastic, they are as keen as mustard.
luv that blokes laugh in the background who just keeps laughin lool
That sure was a charming snake..
Classic British tv, god bless you roy
lol!! have to laugh aswell at the bloke laughing in background!!
I guess they either thought people wouldn't get it, or the squares couldn't be cleared off that way. LOL
"Here comes the bonus!"
I love Roy Walker- great show. Great memories!!
Mr Chip's Chips was certainly not down here
Oh sure that's a snake charmer! Then again, he was charming at least ONE snake!
TOTTENHAM LADS! BACK OF THE NET! WHEEEYYY
"I bet Roy Walker's really..." I want to know what Dennis Norden said! haha
say what you see roy, say what you see
agree i love his riiiiiiiiiiight!
What a beautiful beautiful man Roy Walker is
I cannot believe that I keep watching to see something good like this. Besides, I had no idea what it was anyway.
lol love Roy walkers laugh 😁
someone's laugh at 1:12 xD
Snake charmer. How appropriate.
marita, bless her
'Jack in the box'
The "jack" part certainly seemed correct!
Roy Walker, he's the man!
how the host kept it together I will never know funny stuff bring back this show!!!
havin a w*** with a snake?
its good but its not right...
*laughs uncontrolably*!
1.13!!!! The laughter kept me happy for hours!
If Catchphrase is coming back in March 2013 then I'd say bring it on!
snake charming, so thats what they call it now.
it was. but maybe they thought the squares wouldnt clear off that way
Been practicing my Roy walker impressions!, so far it's good but it's not right!
This episode of Catchphrase was repeated on Challenge 2 weeks ago.
Having found your YT clip the reactions are as funny as ever.
"Snake Charmer" -> That's what everyone thought, riiight? :D
Did anyone else ever notice that 9 times out of 10, the one on the right (red) always wins? That's cos the other one is up far too near to the screen, and it puts them off.
beirbuadh Interesting theory.
It was probably intended as a service. To point out which of the girls he was talking about.
"I'm going to wipe the board"...to remove the stains left by Mr Chips?
One in a million.
Poor Marita's not the sharpest. This is classic TV. Brilliant!
This episode was on Challenge this morning - still funny!
@TimLake He resents the show, so he has a right to introduce almost every blooper
Marita doesnt have a clue whats going on LOL
Snake Charmer is what I thought of initially.
his right hand is in that possition 'n all! XD
'Snake charmer'.. should've really guessed that from the first block.
naughty Mr. Chips
this is the best clip on youtube
it has or will be, stephen mulhern will be presenting a new series i believe
HAHHAHA SNAKE IS WATCHIN!
VERY weird this, but I just saw this on a clip show (where game shows go wrong) and this is in it but not 'quite' as rude; his right arm doesn't move. Its like they cleaned it up a little for the TV clip show??!

I literally laughed out loud watching this!!Funny as fuck!!!Classic piece of TV!!
what a relief... i though mr chip was, u no...
you've pissed on your mr chips
TIP THE WAITER- FUNNY AS
I just KNOW the people running the sreen did hat onpurpose after it started like that.
Damn right, somehow woman didn't find these things as entertainment and funny as a man will think.
But who give a damn, its still funny.
i think they thought the guy was jerkin of the snake XD but wow XD
bring back catchphrase!!!!!
I think it's actually a LASS but I know what you mean :)
they sample the reveal sound from the show LOL
Funnier then anything Roy Wanker ever came out with
