This Irish radio caller’s hilarious hypnotised hen problem has gone deservedly viral again

The late and much-missed BBC Radio Ulster presenter Gerry Anderson, who also presented the short-lived Anderson Country on BBC Radio 4, had a unique style.

In one legendary encounter, he took a call from a man who was struggling with the results of the old chalk-line chicken hypnotism trick – and he just let it ride through a rollercoaster of emotion and hilarity.

It inspired animators Flickerpix Animation to feature it as one of their On The Air with Gerry Anderson episodes. Take a look. You won’t be disappointed.

There isn’t a second wasted – comedy gold from start to finish.

The hilarious video found its way to Twitter, and Paul O’Kane summed up the experience.

The post is at two million views and more than eight thousand shares – and it’s really brightening people’s days.

We get it, Dan. We get it.
