Congratulations, Jonny Lang of Eager Beaver Films, you've done it again.

In record time - 24 hours, we're told - you've whipped up a Anthony Worrall Thompson meets The Shawshank Redemption spoof that sees everyone's favourite shoplifting celebrity chef cooking up a nice bit of lamb for Morethan Freeman and the boys.

Sure, it ends on a frankly bizarre Nigella Lawson joke, but what does that matter? It's AWT! In prison! Cooking lamb! Spoofs don't get any tougher (to do in 24 hours) than this...

Wait, wrong cookery programme. Still, you'll take our point.

Incidentally, if you're wondering where you've heard the name "Eager Beaver Films" before, they're the boys behind that excellent "X Factor Voiceover Man Strikes Back" clip that recently had to be taken down from YouTube for being too funny. Or infringing copyright rules. One of the two, anyway.

And while we have you chuckling about Anthony Worrall Thompson stealing some cheese and wine at a self-service till, here's Huffington Post UK's favourite Twitter jokes about the unbelievable incident below...

Alex Andreou: Antony Worrall Thompson: The Cook, the Thief and the Do-Over

I was as bemused as any man when I heard of Antony Worrall Thompson's arrest... But my very next thought was of Nicolas Robinson. He is the 23-year-old who was arrested for stealing water worth £3.50 from Lidl during the London Riots.

It's been a long time since I did any shoplifting - 31 years, to be precise, but I must have been better at it than Antony Worrall Thompson, because I didn't get caught.

if the supermarkets had not started using the self checkouts to make more profit and cut jobs this would not have happened shoplifters think self checkouts are great because they have worked out which supermarkets are not fool proof

If I, as a pensioner stole from Tesco ONCE I would be in custody and in the dock, as quick as you like.

Why is it ok for him to do this on a regular basis? Tesco said they didn;t report him at first 'cos he was a celebrity. Sooooooooo what difference does that make. He's a theif, just like I would be if I stole from anybody. Is it me,or does it seem that the rich,/famous,/politician,/coronation street star etc, you get a better class of justice then the rest of us.

How can the police,who are paid by us taxpayers, turn a blind eye to the aforementioned peoples misdemeanours?

Come on you coppers out there, give us a valid reason!!!

The main problem is that he wasn't two miles an hour over the speed limit in his get away.

eloracbmulp. Well posted. Totally agree. Unfortunately the difference is "He is a Celeb" and the bloody "Hug a Tree Brigade" have again taken over. We are all equal in life its claimed but unfortunately "Some are more equal than Others"

I have a good sense of humour but I think The Huffington Post have no sense at all other that a sick sense. This chap is obviously going through some form of mental anguish and the shop lifting is just a symptom.

He's not going through mental torment! just "Nobody loves me, I am a has been, and I haven't any money left because I invested in white elephants" Syndrome. Just get him off the box and out of our faces!

I hope that you or your family are never faced with suffering any form of mental illness. Some people on here are from the dark ages. The taboos surrounding mental illness will never be broken, whilst attitudes like yours exist.

Question for AOL ....What's funny about a THIEF ? shall we all laugh at burglars or rapists next ? I have a sense of humour trust me,but this is not humorous in the slightest.Why should this man receive even more publicity. Why bloody steal ?

I predict the next thing we will hear is that he has not bothered to continue with therapy as he has decided he does not really need it. He has already said he knows why he did it. Amazing.
If he KNOWS why then what is the therapist for? He already says he knows more than a qualified therapist. Some therapists have to meet you a dozen times before they can work this out.
