If we’ve learned anything from The Office, it’s that you should never prank a coworker in a way that makes them think they’re getting fired. There is a certain type of panic that sets in, and the results are not pretty. However, while cruel, it can be hilarious. British radio host Alex Duffy decided to prank his cohost, Emma Louise Jones, by reading off a list of words that are banned on air under the pretense that they were now allowed. Unbeknownst to Jones, they would not actually be live at the time.
While Jones is cautiously amused by Duffy’s brazen profanity, you can see her get progressively more panicked. Mind you, the show is Alex Duffy at Breakfast, meaning on a normal day, there would have been many children who learned some new words on their way to school. After Jones reaches a full blown hysteria (the thought of losing one’s job tends to do that to a person), Duffy reveals that they were never actually on the air, leaving the British populace unaffected by his antics. At the end of the clip, Jones vows to get him back, so here’s hoping she exacts her revenge in an equally cheeky way.
