The Crystal Maze was back tonight (September 15) and brought with it another brave team hoping to smash all the tasks and collect as many crystals as possible, but things didn't quite go to plan.

The Cosplay Team were a group of friends who'd met each other through cosplaying, but they caused outrage debates due to the fact they were dressed as furries, which isn't technically classed as cosplaying.

One particular challenge in the Futuristic Zone had viewers crying with laughter when team member Rob performed what was quite possibly the funniest task ever.

Holding onto a pole attached to oscillating planet spheres, he had to cross the room without falling off and it was comedy gold.

Naturally, he did fall off and got an automatic lock-in for his lack of balancing skills.

Anyway, the Cosplay Team's performance was pretty appalling really and they ended up with only 10 seconds in the Maze, which all in was pretty pointless and the worst result of the series so far.

However, viewers were pretty united in thinking it was the funniest Crystal Maze episode ever – and some even planned to immediately watch it all again.
