** And of course Bradley [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL3q7uJWwoA made himself corpse]] on occasion.[[note]]"Minge" is another British slang for vagina.[[/note]]

* The question writers of the UK game show ''Series/{{The Chase|GameShow}}'' frequently make the presenter Bradley Walsh try desperately not to burst into laughter with the immature multiple-choice questions they get him to read out. For instance, one such question was "In what sport does [[UnfortunateNames Fanny]] [[BilingualBonus Chmelar]] compete for Germany?".[[note]]"Fanny" is British slang for "vagina".[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl1Zfz-Widc Witness the results here.]]

** Then there was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxKbDXRHESc this moment of corpsing]], where the contestant was the only one keeping it together for long enough to call an advert break.

* ''Series/{{Scrabble}}'' host Chuck Woolery would often break out in laughter, usually after reading the writers' sillier and, oftentimes, more suggestive clues. However, Chuck's would occasionally lose his composure while interacting with the contestants; such examples include the show's famous [[https://youtu.be/ZSSQTuaNPhY Hanukkah blooper]], as well as one contestant's answer to the clue [[https://youtu.be/LGyFyxxT7V8?t=200 "Kids sometimes hear their parents doing it"]].

** The duo that hosts the Brazilian ''Sportscenter'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RewPJAsMBQI&spfreload=10 has many]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_mbHCXB-K8 moments losing it]], mostly whenever an {{Unfortunate Name|s}} or [[ThatCameOutWrong badly thought phrase]] appears. And it's '''always''' ContagiousLaughter. (in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjESsHXtXuw an interview]] - where, with reason, their intro music was [[Film/SinginInTheRain "Make Them Laugh"]] - they added the corpsing is not helped by the cameramen doing silly stuff and laughing).

** Tony Slattery manages to get ''himself'' in the British version during a round of Hoe Down when the final line of his verse was set to be excessively risque ''[[UpToEleven even for him]]''.

* Speaking about Brazilian newscasters, even the usually serious Lilian Witte Fibe had her moment: one of the news she annouced was about an 81-year-old lady who was arrested at Miami International Airport along her 56-year-old boyfriend, caught with 10,000 ecstasy pills. When Lilian said the lady's boyfriend alleged that he thought the pills were Viagra, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw35fqhzpi4&ab_channel=R%C3%B4muloMoraes she cracked up laughing]].

* Craig Ferguson fell victim once in a while, when he hosted ''[[Series/TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson The Late Late Show]]''. It was often the fault of his RobotBuddy, Geoff Peterson--[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAHSUTB5BJc this incident]] being the most infamous example.

** In the famous "Sis Boom Bah" joke from Carnac the Magnificent, Johnny and Ed can't keep a straight face before they deliver the joke. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And who could blame them?]] Then they lose it completely after delivering the joke ("Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes").

* Australian ''Today Show'' cohost and reporter Karl Stefanovic is notorious for breaking on camera. The show's Youtube page often posts clips on him bursting in hysterics on camera.

* In the late 70s, Atlanta TV station WATL had a kid's show called ''Officer Don and Orvil'' (the latter being a puppet dragon) and often Orvil (Terry Kelley) would crack something that would cause Officer Don (Don Kennedy) to corpse or just burst out laughing. This goes back to their days on ''The Popeye Club,'' which aired on WSB there in the 60s.

* ''Series/TheColbertReport'''s site has a video compilation for when he [[http://www.cc.com/video-collections/hnv15m/the-colbert-report-best-of-the-colbert-report/erpk54 loses it on camera.]] (While there have been stories of "Munchma Quchi" being Colbert's mother-in-law, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/23a503/this_colbert_report_clip_absolutely_never_gets_old/cgv7blj the claim has been proven to be false]])

* The recurring ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' segment where celebrities read Mean Tweets gets reactions that can be put into the categories of dirty looks (like Creator/JessicaAlba and Creator/CateBlanchett), responding in kind (like Elisabeth Moss and Creator/LarryDavid), playing along (like two of the other Jessicas - [[Creator/JessicaBiel Biel]] and [[Creator/JessicaChastain Chastain]]) or [[ActuallyPrettyFunny finding it amusing]] (like Creator/LisaKudrow and Creator/KurtRussell)... or Corpsing like Music/ArianaGrande. Most readers remain calm and collected but Ariana couldn't read that particular tweet without laughing hysterically.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2_thHqiYsE One round of Sound FX]] ''obliterates'' Drew, leaving him in a fit of wheezing hysterics.

** A famous incident during the Richard Dawson years was during the Lightning Round. When asked the question [[spoiler: During what month does a woman begin to look pregnant?]], the contestant, visibly panicking, answered "September", which was so unexpected it caused [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNoV_kSe7Dk Dawson to break down laughing]] long enough that they had to stop the clock. He managed to recover, only to break down again (this time so much he had to kneel down to try to contain his fits of laughter) when repeating the question to the next contestant.
