A British schoolboy has rewritten the history books of comedy by hilariously renaming the Prime Minister “Theresa Gay”.
Ben Harlow, a twelve-year-old from Birmingham, England, achieved legend status among his peers after coming up with the clever play on words.
“I don’t know where it came from,” claimed Harlow earlier. “I was just talking about stuff with the lads when it came to me; football, stickers, boobs, cars, just normal twelve-year-old things, I don’t even know how the Prime Minister came up but all of a sudden I just realised that her name, ‘May’, rhymes with the word ‘gay’ so I just said it and all of the boys thought it was dead funny.”
“Some of the lads were saying ‘Ben you’re the funniest lad in the world’ or ‘that’s the best joke ever’ but I’m allowed to watch fifteens, and even sometimes eighteens, DVDs and I’ve seen some really funny comedians,” continued the schoolboy. “I’m definitely funnier than Michael McIntyre but I’m not as funny as some of the other comedians I’ve seen, I probably will be when I’m their age though.”
According to Ben’s father, Pete, his son gets all of his comedic prowess from him, “He didn’t lick it off the stones, you know what I mean?” he said during a chat with Wunderground. “I’m always making really clever jokes like that. In fact, I think I might have actually come up with the whole ‘Theresa Gay’ thing a few weeks ago.”
“I’m always taking the mickey out of the gay’s, not literally obviously, but I’m not a homophobe or anything one of my cousin’s a woofter, and I invited him to my wedding,” insisted Mr Harlow. “I like to think I’m being edgy and I’m delighted to see it’s rubbing off on him, the last thing I’d want is to be raising a snowflake.”
According to rumours, at the time of going to press, Adam Sandler is believed to have approached young Ben and offered him an executive producer’s role on his next movie.
