Boris Johnson bizarre speech discussing Peppa Pig World has been revealed as the nation’s funniest moment of the year, according to new research from Beano.
More than a third of Brits found the moment of the Prime Minster described his trip to the Hampshire theme park as the most side-splitting moment of 2021 – with the photos of him riding fairground rides and in toy cars also tickling funny bones up and down the country.
The US attorney unable to remove the cat filter on his Zoom call came in close second place, in a poll of British parents by the British comic.
Rounding off the top three is the Caterpillar Cake Wars on social media, when supermarket Marks and Spencer took a lawsuit to Aldi over the similarity of Aldi’s Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake to M&S’s Colin – with fellow supermarkets at the public leaping to the cake’s defence with #FreeCuthbert trending.
Other hilarious moments from the Top 20 included The Suez Canal blockage, Miriam Margolyes’ farting on This Morning, and ‘Phil McCann’ reporting on the fuel shortage at a petrol station forecourt for the BBC.
Here, FEMAIL reveal Beano’s most hilarious moments of the year, from Jackie Weaver’s viral fame to Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit…
1. Boris Johnson bizarre Peppa Pig World speech to business leaders
In November, senior figures inside No10 raised concerns about the Prime Minister after a bizarre speech to business chiefs in which he praised Peppa Pig World, compared himself to Moses and made car engine noises.
The Prime Minister was forced to shrug off questions about whether he is ‘OK’ following the bewildering address to the CBI, in which he spoke at length about his family trip to the popular theme park – complaining that the TV character looks like a ‘hair dryer’ and that Daddy Pig is a bit stereotyped.
Mr Johnson also stunned bemused onlookers as he attempted an impression of a car engine as he extolled the virtues of Tesla cars, saying they are faster at accelerating from traffic lights than Ferraris.

Pictures have emerged of Mr Johnson, wife Carrie and son Wilf at Peppa Pig World in the New Forest
He invoked the Moses comparison by suggesting he had descended from ‘Mount Sinai’ to hand civil servants his 10-point plan for achieving Net Zero by 2050.
After the shambolic performance, a senior Downing Street figure told the BBC: ‘There is a lot of concern inside the building about the PM….It’s just not working.
‘Cabinet needs to wake up and demand serious changes otherwise it’ll keep getting worse. If they don’t insist, he just won’t do anything about it.’
2. US lawyer’s Zoom call where he was unable to remove the cat filter
A Texas lawyer accidentally left a kitten filter on during a Zoom hearing in February, hilariously telling the judge ‘I’m not a cat’ as he frantically tried to remove the animated image.
The amusing mishap happened to Presidio County attorney Rod Ponton during a live streamed hearing for the 394th Judicial District Court of Brewster.
The video begins with presiding judge Roy Ferguson telling Ponton: ‘I believe you have a filter turned on in video settings and you might want to turn it off.’

Ponton is then heard letting out a panicked ‘aghh’, as the cat filter over his face begins shifting its eyes back-and-forth and moving its mouth in unison with his voice.
‘Can you hear me judge,’ the feline-emblazoned Ponto is heard asking, his voice quivering.
Ferguson confirms that he can hear Ponton and reiterates that he believes he has a filter switched on.
‘It is [a filter]’, Ponton hastily interjects. ‘And I don’t know how to remove it. I’ve got my assistant here, she’s trying to, but ahhh I’m prepared to go forward with it… I’m here live, I’m not a cat.’
3. Colin the Caterpillar wars on social media
In May, Twitter users went wild over the news that Marks & Spencer was suing Aldi over a copycat version of their £7 Colin the Caterpillar cake – and shared hilarious memes to poke fun at the decision.
The grocery giant claimed Aldi was ‘riding on the coat-tails’ of its reputation and launched an intellectual property claim with the High Court.
And since the news broke, social media users have rejoiced with #CaterpillarWars and #FreeCuthbert trending.
Morrisons also joined the trend joking their cake Morris was in disguise to not get caught
One Twitter user joked that Netflix would be making a documentary about the trial of the cakes
Some have joked other supermarket’s caterpillar cakes – such as Sainsbury’s Wiggles for £6 and Tesco Curly the Caterpillar – will form a jury to help.
Some joked that M&S new ‘cake in the jar’ in the Colin variety was ‘sent to Cuthbert as a warning’
Others have used the meme made popular by Harry’s and Meghan’s Oprah interview, asking the cakes if they were ‘silent or silenced’

Others have used a meme of Oprah made popular by Harry’s and Meghan’s interview, asking the cakes if they were ‘silent or silenced’.
Some even joked the cakes will appear on the now defunct Jeremy Kyle show to resolve their issues.
4. ‘Phil McCann’ reporting on the fuel shortage at a forecourt for BBC
Electric car owners flooded the internet with memes teasing petrol and diesel drivers about their battle for fuel in September.
Long queues are forming at petrol stations amid fears the shortage in lorry drivers will result in fuel running out.
And even the BBC appear to have got in on the fun, sending aptly named reporter Phil McCann to cover the frenzy at a petrol station.

5. Jackie Weaver and the Handforth Parish Council Zoom
It’s not often that a seven-minute edited highlights package from a parish council meeting soars up the YouTube most-viewed rankings.
But that’s exactly what happened in February when a December 10th Handforth Parish Council Planning & Environment Committee meeting was uploaded leaving a shocking trail of chaos, power grabs and insults.
As the fine burghers of the east Cheshire village gather for the 7:30pm Zoom call, a male voice chimes in from off-camera. ‘F*** off,’ he says.
A sleepy parish council meeting in Handforth, Cheshire turned into chaos as furious councillors traded insults and the chairman was blocked from the video call meeting. Pictured: Jackie Weaver, who threw chairman Brian Tolver out of the meeting
A sleepy parish council meeting in Handforth, Cheshire turned into chaos as furious councillors traded insults and the chairman was blocked from the video call meeting. Pictured: Jackie Weaver, who threw chairman Brian Tolver out of the meeting
Weaver, Cheshire Association of Local Councils, clashes with chairman Brian Tolver who claims he was chucked out of an earlier meeting by her and refuses to accept the meeting’s legitimacy. He is later thrown out again for telling Weaver to ‘stop talking’
The meeting on December 10 is attended by several other councillors (clockwise from top left: Susan Moore, Barry Burkill who is also thrown out, John Smith who takes over as chairman, and Cynthia Samson)
We then meet parish council chairman Brian Tolver and matters don’t improve. His Zoom title, despite being the chairman, is ‘Handforth PC clerk’.
Mrs Weaver said no one could stop Cllr Tolver describing himself as the meeting’s clerk, or indeed anything else. ‘Please refer to me as Britney Spears from now on,’ she adds.
He addresses the meeting’s actual clerk, Jackie Weaver, drafted in from the peacekeeping corps of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils. ‘Can we be assured that we won’t be thrown out of the meeting like we were last time?’ he says, leaning towards the camera and sucking his teeth for emphasis.
‘As long as we have reasonable behaviour from everyone,’ Mrs Weaver replies.
A reasonable request, perhaps. But Cllr Tolver is an independent councillor in more than just name.
Quickly it descends into chaos, as Mrs Weaver attempts to regain calm. ‘If you disrupt this meeting, I will have to remove you from it,’ she says,
‘You can’t! It is only the chairman who can remove people from a meeting,’ the chairman, who was removed from the previous meeting, cries. ‘You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver! NO AUTHORITY AT ALL!’
6. The tweets after the great Facebook outage
‘Hello literally everyone’ was the tongue-in-cheek message from Twitter sent in October as it took a lighthearted approach to its rival Facebook suffering a worldwide outage.
Facebook, along with its sister site Instagram and messaging service WhatsApp were down for six hours for millions of users across the world.
Social media users meanwhile flocked to Twitter to share memes about Facebook being down.
One shared a picture of Pixar superhero Mr Incredible saying ‘It’s showtime’ with the caption: ‘When most social media apps are down, Twitter be like…’
Another, carrying on the theme, used a clip of comedy character Mr Bean, representing Twitter, alongside another character wrapped head-to-toe in bandages, representing Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Others joked about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg being sent in to fix the problem.
One user took a picture of an electrician fixing wiring and superimposed the tech billionaire’s face over the top.

While he and co-host Holly collapsed in laughter, Miriam replied ‘You outed me!
9. Pub goers snowed-in a Yorkshire pub for three days with an Oasis Tribute band
Revellers spent three nights snowed inside Britain’s highest pub after an Oasis tribute concert and compared the experience to being on a drunken I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
Becky Longthorp, pictured enjoying a pint in the snowed in pub, is on her way home after three nights trapped at the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales with her partner Gary Bimpson, covered in the snow that fell on the pub
Revellers finally begin to leave the Tan Hill Inn today after their long term lock in after a snow plough got through and the road out was unblocked
Some 60 people have been involved in the lock-in at the remote Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, and are pictured last night and they remain there today
More than 60 people cut off by 3ft of snow at Britain’s highest pub spent three nights there with bonhomie fuelled by live music from an Oasis tribute band and a load of food and booze ordered by the landlord.
Becky Longthorp, 36, said that they have been passing the time with drinking games and making snowmen at the remote Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, where the manager banned alcohol until after 3pm for the health of those stuck there
It is not yet clear if punters had to pay for all their pints and meals, but there was a whip-round raising £300 in cash for the staff as people began to head home.
10. A fake tweet of Emma Raducanu asking, ‘Who’s she?’ when asked about Piers Morgan
A fake viral tweet claiming that teen tennis star Emma Raducanu had asked a reporter ‘Who is she?’ when asked about Piers Morgan’s criticism of her was the 10th funniest moment of the year, according to Beano readers.
‘When asked if Piers Morgan’s views had encouraged her, Emma (Raducanu) replied, ‘Sorry, I don’t know who she is,’ a Twitter user had written.

A-list stars went all out at the Met Gala in New York in September, and in an effort to embrace the night’s ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ theme and fans had a field day on social media creating a host of hilarious memes.
Many were quick to share their confusion over Kim Kardashian’s avant-garde Balenciaga look, with one tweeting: ‘Please tell me she isn’t wearing that,’ as others compared her to a soul-eating Dementor from Harry Potter as well as the titular character from Ridley Scott’s Alien.

Dementor: Met Gala viewers felt the comparisons between Kim’s outfit and the extraterrestrial lifeform were uncanny
Yikes: Kim was also mocked on social media for looking like one of ‘the foulest creatures that walk this earth’ aka a Dementor from Harry Potter
Elsewhere, the resemblance between Lil Nas X’s gold Versace suit of armour and Star Wars robot C-3PO was noted, while others compared Timothée Chalamet’s Haider Ackermann tuxedo jacket and sweatpants combo to a chef’s uniform.
But Kim was by far the most meme-d celebrity of the night, with social media users comparing her to Pokémon.
The prestigious fashion event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was hosted by Vogue’s Dame Anna Wintour.
12. Weetabix suggesting to serve their food with beans
British cereal company Weetabix raised eyebrows on Twitter in February after it suggested fans should try to eat their baked beans from Heinz on their cereal, and even shared a picture of the bizarre dish by way of encouragement.
The stunt did not seem to inspire any takers, but it certainly achieved its aim of attracting attention with everyone from Which? to the official Twitter account of the NHS rushing to express disapproval.
‘Why should bread have all the fun, when there’s Weetabix? Serving up @Heinz Beanz on bix for breakfast with a twist,’ the Weetabix account posted along with ‘#ithastobeheinz’ and ‘#haveyouhadyourweetabix.’
An accompanying picture showed two Weetabix cereal smothered in a generous serving of baked beans, two Weetabix in a separate bowl and a separate serving of baked beans on the side next to a box of the brand’s cereals.

13. The Suez Canal blockage – and the memes that followed
It was the ship that launched a thousand memes, with social media users sharing viral images in March of a giant container vessel wedged into the banks of the Suez canal.
The Ever Given first got stuck across the vital shipping route on Tuesday and Egyptian authorities are still desperately trying to shift the 59-metre wide and 400-metre long ship.
Days into the saga, and with no quick solution apparent, Twitter users decided the vessel was the perfect encapsulation of the past two years.
One of the most shared photographs was taken from a ship following the Ever Given, and showed it blocking the canal. ‘A pangolin fluttering their eyelashes at a bat,’ read the caption above the Ever Given, while the text on the blocked vessel said: ‘Any hope of enjoying 2020’
‘My tasks’ read another, overlaying an image of the heavily laden Ever Given blocking the Suez canal
‘Me dutifully chipping away at my tasks,’ quipped a quick follow-up featuring an image of the container ship dwarfing a lone digger attempting to dislodge it
Others likened the Ever Given’s plight to popular culture, including scenes from the Simpsons and Friends
The Friend’s memes include references to the famous scene when Ross is trying to carry a sofa up to his apartment, and when Phoebe attempts to teach Joey French
A GIF from ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’ – where the main character is stuck in a shuttle car reversing back and forth in a narrow tunnel – was photoshopped with the vessel
One was captioned ‘going for a walk at lunchtime’ while text above the wedged vessel read: ‘My mental health during the pandemic.’

14. Scotland’s goalkeeper David Marshall’s dive to try and deny Patrik Schick’s wonder strike at Euro 2020
Social media was set ablaze with memes in the aftermath of Czech Republic’s 2-0 victory against Scotland at Euro 2020 in June after David Marshall was left helplessly scrambling to try and save Patrik Schick’s incredible strike.
The Scotland goalkeeper was caught out by a sensational goal from Schick in the second half of the clash at Hampden Park. The Czech forward latched on to a pass and shot from narrowly over the halfway line after seeing that the keeper was far off his line.
David Marshall scrambled back helplessly to try and save Patrik Schick’s long range effort in the Czech Republic’s 2-0 win over Scotland in Euro 2020 on Monday
Marshall sprinted back as fast as he could but his last ditch dive was in vain and he went careering into the net along with the ball.
One amusing post, using the picture of Marshall in the goal net, joked that Spider-Man had managed to get him tangled up in his web. Another user mocked up a picture of firemen trying to cut Marshall free.
Another user compared his leap to save the ball to a basketball player trying to stop Michael Jordan scoring a slam-dunk. A similar sporting comparison saw someone else photoshop Marshal leaping over the finish line ahead of Usain Bolt in a 100m race.
15. Bernie Sanders and his mittens at the presidential Inauguration
A pictured of Bernie Sanders posing at President Biden’s inauguration became a meme and took the world by storm in January.
It was not long before celebrities got into the craze as they pasted the former Presidential hopeful into their own images.
Speaking to Gayle King following the ceremonies, and after people flocked to Twitter to share their photoshopped creations featuring for his mittens and signature brown coat, the 79-year-old said that people in Vermont weren’t as concerned about their fashion.

People posted memes of the Bernie Sanders picture online after he went viral for wearing the mittens
While the women at the inauguration were lauded for their impeccable style choices, Senator Bernie Sander’s mittens became the talk of the town as the best sensible fashion at the Capitol.
Twitter users also fell in love with Sanders’ outfit with many joking that he looked like he was heading to the post office as he clutched a manila envelope.
Others photoshopped Sanders into movie scenes and on everything from the New York Subway to manning a hotdog stand.
16. Greta’s Twitter Trump burn
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg took to Twitter in January to troll out-going US President Donald Trump as he leaves the White House.
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has trolled out-going US President Donald Trump one final time by reigniting their Twitter war as he leaves the White House. ‘He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!,’ Thunberg wrote on Twitter under a picture of Trump boarding a helicopter. The barb was a reference to a comment Trump made after the 18-year-old Swede gave a passionate speech addressing world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York
Trump appeared to mock Thunberg’s impassioned speech at a UN climate summit in 2019 in a Twitter post
The 18-year-old reignited her Twitter feud with Trump as Joe Biden prepared to become the 46th President of the United States in an inauguration ceremony in Washington DC.
‘He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!,’ Thunberg wrote on Twitter under a picture of Trump boarding a helicopter.

17. Sea Shanty Tik-Toks (and the tight-trousered lads who followed as a meme)
Back in January, sea shanties are took over TikTok with users rushing in their droves to upload their own renditions of the traditional folk songs to the video sharing site.
The craze began when Scottish postman Nathan Evans’ rendition of Leave her Johnny, which was often the last song sung at the end of a voyage by sailors, gathered 1.1 million views last year.
Kermit the Frog’s rendition of the 19th Century sea shanty Wellerman has been widely shared
Technology has also been used to make it look like a picture of four lads outside an All Bar One – a meme which went viral last year – are singing along to the anthem which is growing in popularity
A Wellerman remix to electronic dance music is another example of how the craze is taking social media by storm
Nathan Evans, 26, from outside Glasgow, Scotland, has become an internet sensation with his versions of sea shanties
The aspiring musician later uploaded a cover of the 19th Century sea shanty Wellerman, which tells the story of the Australian shore whaling company Weller Brothers, and has since seen his video amass 4.3million views and spark the viral trend #ShantyTok.
Social media users have since added their own harmonies, melodies and bass lines and are dubbing the tune over moving images of popular memes.
Some of the most shared examples include Kermit the frog’s take on the song and a remix featuring electronic dance music.

18. Bukayo Saka in the pool on an inflatable unicorn following the Euros
England’s players jumped back aboard their inflatable unicorns in a hilarious repeat of the fun and games from the 2018 World Cup, during the Euros this summer.
The zany floats made a welcome return for the Three Lions as they looked to wind down and the likes of Mason Mount and Bukayo Saka were seen in high spirits.
England brought back the inflatable unicorns for their recovery session in the swimming pool
The iconic inflatables were first used during England’s camp in Russia for the 2018 World Cup
Arsenal wonderkid Saka left supporters in stitches, with one particular shot showing him leaping into the water on top of the inflatable, while team-mate Mount took the time out to smile for the camera.
The colourful unicorns made their first appearance three years ago in Russia, and were brought out to comical effect when Gareth Southgate’s stars looked to recuperate in the pool.
In scenes that brought a smile to the face of every fan, the squad raced across the width of the water and splashed about, all the while recovering from their exertions at the tournament.
19. Gwyneth Paltrow confessing to eating bread in lockdown
Back in the height on lockdown in May, Gwyneth Paltrow was mocked on Twitter for saying she ‘went totally off the rails’ and ate bread during the pandemic.
Appearing on the SmartLess podcast, the 48-year-old Goop founder discussed how her normally very health eating habits fell by the wayside during 2020, and she found herself eating bread, making pasta, and having two cocktails a night.
Social media users have fixated on how Gwyneth indicated that ‘eating bread’ was an indicator of going ‘off rails,’ with some blasting her for flaunting her privilege after part of her quote was taken out of context.
Gwyneth told podcast hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett that she has ‘been on a bit of a clean-out’ after forming some unhealthy habits during the pandemic.
Yum! Gwyneth Paltrow said on a podcast last week that she made pasta, ate bread, and drank every night during part of the pandemic
‘Basically during quarantine, I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails,’ she said
Eating good: The actress shared a video earlier this year as she indulged in a plate of homemade pasta
20. Jacob Rees-Mogg failing a Latin quiz live on air
He’s been dubbed ‘Honourable Member for the 18th century’ for his old-fashioned views and snooty demeanour.
So it was especially embarrassing for Tory MP and Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg when he failed a Latin test live on air.
The Oxford and Eton education MP appeared on Camilla Tominey’s LBC Radio show in August and was tested on Latin, after his government revealed they wanted to introduce the language into state schools.
He only got one out of three correct – which was the Eton school motto.
