A compilation of Hacker T. Dog and Lauren Layfield shows they were so much more than ‘just innocent men’
If you’re familiar with CBBC – the BBC’s channel for school-age children – you’ll have encountered Hacker T. Dog, the puppet with the gruff northern voice and the abiity to make watching kids’ TV a lot more entertaining for parents.

The world (Okay, then – the internet.) may never recover from the wildly viral clip of Hacker – or Phil Fletcher, if you want to get technical – and presenter Lauren Layfield that went wildly viral last year.
Here it is, in all its comedic glory.
HIGHLIGHT OF 2016:
Calling my co-presenter @LaurenLayfield a normal, innocent man on live telly…#EpicFail #Corpsing pic.twitter.com/H7SPmkjrv3— Hacker T Dog (@HackerTDog) December 13, 2016
A compilation of Lauren trying to cope with Hacker’s ad libs has surfaced – and it’s another masterpiece.

We don’t know how Lauren ever kept a straight face at all, to be honest.
Tweeters loved the pair’s chaotic interactions.
We’ve all seen normal men innocent men but this is fantastic. That hound is wasted on kids pic.twitter.com/hdLurpUkST

I love how every single clip I’ve seen of this (children’s variety?) show involves the same poor lady on the brink of a laughter induced breakdown from a Heinz 57 mutt puppet https://t.co/0Q5vYj9YfE

“The hound is wasted on children.”
You fool. This is how we raise the generation that saves this planet https://t.co/qcmw3RU4Xk— NormalMar (@normalmar) March 14, 2023
We suspect merchandise may be on the horizon – though probably not from the BBC shop.
Someone make this happen pls pic.twitter.com/9IyybSc7Ey

Hacker’s alter ego had the only acceptable response.
Cheers cocker
