                  I think that the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV were the members of BTS doing some sort of exercise class using silks attached to the ceiling. I laughed so much my stomach hurt. They were almost completely and universally rubbish at it, it was comedy gold.

                  .

                  At one point Jimin was there, one foot in each end, doing a full splits and gently rotating (he wasn't meant to be, it had just happened accidentally), the others were just looking at him, with these expressions on their faces, and someone piped up....What's he doing? I can't do that! That's when I collapsed with laughter for the nth time. Totally hysterical.

                  I particularly liked Super Junior's Super TV 1 and 2.
