Goofing around has always been part of what makes The Great British Bake Off so much fun to watch. And as the years have gone by, the jokes delivered on the show have become increasingly more innunndo-laden and irreverent.

And recently, the show has taken that wink-wink-nudge-nudge shtick onto its social media profiles, too.

Apropos of nothing, the other day the show used a still from one of its episodes to make a most off-color gay sex joke on Twitter, which you can see below. The joke has left fans absolutely cackling--famous British "stiff upper lip" be damned!

In the tweet, The Great British Bake Off--or GBBO as fans affectionately call it--included a still with a closed-caption that read "Is the top straight?"

Now of course, whoever said this on the show was talking about the top of their cake, say, or the top of their towering croquenbûche, or something. It was surely baking related! But GBBO never met a double entendre it didn't instantly love, so they answered the caption's question with one simple word: "Unlikely."

The reference, of course, is to *ahem* certain sexual practices of many LGBTQ people, where one partner is the "top" and the other is the aptly-titled "bottom."

Get it? Zing! GBBO is out here making gay sex jokes, ladies and gentlemen. Bet you didn't see that coming, eh? 2021 stays wild!

Of course, people on Twitter loved this edgy bit of humor from such a wholesome, family-oriented show. And whoever runs the GBBO Twitter account wasn't content with just one gay sex joke. They went in for a second double entendre just as punny as the first.

And then a third.

"Versatile" in LGBTQ-ese means someone who likes to be both top and bottom from time to time. Get it? Seriously give this person a raise!

On Twitter, GBBO's followers loved this new level of irreverence from the show.











No word as yet on what Her Majesty the Queen thinks of all this baking-related gay sex talk, but if she's smart she'll grant knighthood or damehood to this social media manager right away.

We've all heard the advice that when you want to start a new habit, you have to give yourself time for that habit to "stick," and you also shouldn't try to take on too many new habits at once.

While the easy answer to that logic is that it would be too much change at once and too much "new" to remember, it also could take the fun out of the new practice.

Giant AI-Generated Christmas Mural Removed After People Notice Some Truly Unhinged Details

Though many of us are worried about the prevalence of AI and its potential to take away the jobs of professional writers, artists, and designers, one truly haunted Christmas mural proves that AI is not ready to take on the responsibility just yet.

Ample theories are available for how this unhinged mural came to be, but a favorite is that an upper executive didn't want to approve an art budget for this year's mural and suggested AI instead, so a designer planned the worst option possible. Or someone turned immediately to AI, barely checked their work, and just hit the "approve" button.

People who have not performed in front of a live audience might assume that adequate rehearsal time and production planning ensure things will go smoothly.

But seasoned performers will tell you that mistakes happen, no matter how well-rehearsed or fine-tuned the project is. When the mistake is obvious enough that the audience becomes aware of it, the best thing to do is laugh it off or incorporate the mistake into the program as much as possible to keep the show going.
