His breath smelled funny.
A UK comedian was left punchless after one of his fans messaged him online to inform him that he smelled bad, according to a viral Instagram post.
Manchester native Jamie Hutchinson had just finished a standup show in Liverpool when he received feedback from an audience member – who happened to be a dental hygienist, Jam Press reported.
The comic included a screenshot of the message.
“Hiya mate, debating whether to remove this DM from you for a while because I like your stuff and don’t want you to think I’m an ad-khead,” the complainer began.
“There’s no easy way to say this dude, but I was at a show the other week in the front row,” the fan added. “Well, I am a dental hygienist and I know halitosis [bad breath] when I smell her mate, it can’t be anything, but I recommend getting a checkup at your friend’s dentist for gum disease.â€
They concluded: “I don’t want to be mean, but I had to say something that I don’t want you to lose your teeth or ruin your guy. Love your job, going to a live show in the green room soon might give you a little kick.â€
Fortunately, Hutchinson saw the funny side of tooth decay.
“Messages like this make it all worth it,” the funny man wrote in the photo.
Other Instagram viewers were also amused by the helpful snap with one writing, “This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.”
“More like bloody GINGERvitis, ROFL,” joked one mind about Hutchinson’s red hair.
Another commenter wrote, “This is like a trip advisor review of a good hotel with air conditioning.”
“I’ll be honest, I actually respect his effort to gently convey your health concerns,” said another. “He really is a gem. Also, brush your teeth more – apparently.”
While having periodic bad breath is generally harmless—albeit distressing—chronic halitosis can indicate underlying issues such as allergies or a throat infection.
Other possible causes include acid reflux and tonsil stones, hardened food deposits, dead cells and bacteria that build up in the tonsils.
