British gameshow pornography - VIDEO
From 1986 through 2004, there was a popular English game show called Catch Phrase (we had a version in America, but like tea drinking and civility, we ditched it after only a very brief run). Here's how the bonus game on the show worked: nine blocks covered up a short video snippet. The blocks were removed randomly and the first contestant to correctly guess what phrase was being represented by the video won some British prize (like a top hat or a subcontinent or something).In the following video, the randomized blocks' perfect placement over the animation combines with the dirty-minded twelve-year-old that lives inside all of us to hilarious effect. Every time a block is removed, the animation just looks more and more filthy. Even better is the reaction of the contestants and the host, who, about ten seconds in, decide to abandon any hope of getting through the animation without losing their minds with laughter. The video after the jump.

Have I mentioned how much I love the internet? Imagine living in a world where something like this remains buried on some decomposing VHS tape. A chilling, chilling thought.
(By the way, it was brought to my attention by eagle-eyed editor Joel Keller that this video has apparently been making the rounds for quite some time. Like Homer Simpson discovering the internet -- they have the internet on computers now!? - I seem to be a little behind the curve. Taking a page out of NBC's publicity department, we decided to post it anyway. Because, after all, if you haven't seen it ... it's new to you.)
