As Twitchy readers know, Cenk Uygur’s chair gave out live on Piers Morgan Uncensored while he was getting worked over (and worked up) for defending nephew Hasan Piker — and now he's trying to save face by making it funny. Or at least what he thinks is funny.

That’s the bit. A studio chair snaps under him mid-argument, the clip goes everywhere, and his follow-up is a 3,000-year-old land-claim gag aimed at the Jewish state.

Har de har har.

Critics already thought the broken seat was cosmic comedy. His explanation made the moment even louder.

Yuck yuck yuck.

Ben Shapiro was not amused, even if Uygur was trying to somehow save what was left of his … what others are calling ... ample backside.

Oof.

We're seeing a theme here.

We knew it!

The joke only works if other people aren't funnier than you are, Cenk. 

And they are.

Clearly.
