Triple J breakfast co-host and stand-up comedian Matt Okine joked on Thursday that he had given Chris Rock the biggest moment of his Australian visit.

Rock awkwardly paused before calling Okine's comedy "cute" when the American star played one of his jokes on Wednesday's show. Triple J's Alex Dyson had told Rock that his breakfast co-host performed stand-up and when questioned by the comic, Okine boasted he was "really good".

But a delighted Rock mocked Okine's vacuum cleaner gag as "lovely" and "from the streets", before adding that he was "perfect for the new Boyz n the Hood movie".

If the moment wasn't embarrassing enough on radio, a video of Okine - head in hands, waiting for Rock's unflattering verdict - has been widely shared on social media. It's hard to watch, but people worldwide have drawn schadenfreude from Okine's comic misstep.
