On August 9, 1991 at about 6:30 in the evening, thousands of motorists heading home after a long day of work across the UK were forced to pull over and stop due to a brief comment they’d just heard during a sports broadcast. The comment wasn’t reporting a shock loss or injury, but a joke made by cricket commentator, Jonathan Agnew, with the aftermath being so funny people had to pull over to avoid crashing their cars.

The incident occurred during a rundown of that day’s cricket by Agnew and his longtime fellow commentator, Brian Johnston. Prior to Johnston’s passing in 1994, the pair were well-known for their on-air chemistry and penchant for straight faced jokes and school-boy humor.

🤖 Zusammenfassung

Der Artikel schildert einen angeblichen Vorfall vom 9. August 1991, bei dem britische Autofahrer angeblich wegen eines Witzes von Cricket-Kommentator Jonathan Agnew während einer Zusammenfassung des Tagesgeschehens anhalten mussten, um nicht zu lachen und zu verunglücken. Sein langjähriger Co-Moderator Brian Johnston, der 1994 verstarb, und Agnew waren für schuljungenhafte, mit ernstem Gesicht vorgetragene Pointen bekannt. Als Beispiel dient ein zweideutiger Johnston-Spruch über den verletzten Cricket-Spieler Peter Pollock auf Hochzeitsreise. Der vorliegende Text bricht jedoch abrupt ab und liefert weder den konkreten Wortlaut des angeblichen Verkehrschaos-Witzes noch unabhängige Belege für die zwei Meilen lange Stau-Erzählung. Die Darstellung wirkt daher anekdotisch und ist kritisch zu hinterfragen.
