Has there ever been a sore loser quite as expressive as this Australian sore loser? (NSFW)

It’s fair to say that he’s not the most gracious loser we’ve ever seen, and we can’t imagine that staying off the cutting-room floor in most countries, but we have to tip our hats to him for the memorable moment.

Here he is, looking like the picture of reason before he threw away his shot.

Me: Don’t forget you’ve got Chemistry homework due in tomorrow.

One person mused on whether it could happen on another popular quiz.

It would never happen on Pointless https://t.co/3VNn3AYuIi

We disagree. We could totally imagine Alexander Armstrong leaving like that.
