Election 2017's most hilarious moments

Being naughty in wheat fields, eating Pringles and smelling spaniels. It's been a surprisingly fun-filled seven weeks.

It began with Brenda...

"You're joking! Not another one!"

That was Brenda from Bristol's reaction to news of the snap election. Cue a million "We are all Brenda" news articles.

Newsbeat then spent valuable time creating this Brenda remix. You're welcome. And we're sorry.

See our celebration of Brenda here.

It continued with a 'bloody difficult woman'

Theresa May was once described as such by old school Conservative, Ken Clarke.

She took it to her heart and built it into "brand May" - saying she would indeed be "bloody difficult" in order to secure a good Brexit deal for Britain.

The Conservatives used the phrase in campaign tweets.

This is an actual Conservative campaign tweet. Other memes are available.

...who then ate some chips

"Difficult" could be applied to the eating of chips on camera.

Photographed on a visit to Cornwall, May's classic politicians' attempt to "look like the normal people" did not end well.

Rest in peace, Ed Miliband's bacon sandwich.

Jeremy Corbyn triumphantly scoffed a Pringle

The Labour leader was in Cambridge taking part in a BBC Election Debate at the last moment, when a random supporter offered him a salt and vinegar Pringle.

"Jezza! Want a Pringle?" He accepted.

He then held it aloft like a warrior returning to ancient Rome, then gobbled it down like my dad.

Then Tom Cruise turned up campaigning for Corbyn

"Am I the only person wondering why 1980s Tom Cruise was in the car with Corbyn?" asked Matt.

No Matt, you were not.

A car that Jeremy Corbyn was travelling in ran over a BBC cameraman's foot. That was not hilarious.

But the presence of a Tom Cruise lookalike on the back seat certainly was.

Greg Knight's bizarre campaign video

WATCH: Greg Knight's campaign video

Warning: Third party content, may contain adverts

Greg Knight, the Conservative candidate for East Yorkshire, launched one of the most unexpected video hits of the general election campaign.

The clip is a heady mix of awkward delivery and Alan Partridge-esque jingles.

Stick around for all 51 seconds to see the camera zoom in on a poster poorly taped to the wall. Back of the net!

Paul Nuttall locked himself in a room

Yes, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall barricaded himself in a room at a hotel in London.

He did so while refusing to answer whether he would stand as an MP in the general election. He decided to stand after all, in Boston and Skegness.

Tempting "Fire exit" sign

And randomly called people 'Natalie'…

Mr Nuttall got in a muddle and called Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood "Natalie" twice during the Leaders' Debate on ITV.

The internet responded accordingly.

@Penbedw tweeted The Ting Tings' That's Not My Name.

Theresa did some 'girl jobs'

In an interview with the BBC's One Show, Theresa May and husband Philip gave the nation the inside track on their wheelie bin situation.

Asked whether she was a tough negotiator, he said: "Well, there's give and take in every marriage. I get to decide when I take the bins out. Not if I take them out."

"There's boy jobs and girls jobs, you see," May clarified.

Mop, bucket, knitting and needlecraft equipment out of shot

Before running naughtily through a wheat field

Julie Etchingham, the presenter on ITV's Tonight programme, asked the prime minister a question she was clearly not expecting.

"What is the naughtiest thing you ever did?"

Panic visible, Theresa May eventually responded...

"I have to confess, when me and my friend, sort of, used to run through the fields of wheat - the farmers weren't too pleased about that."

Over to you, internet.

Big Jon posted: "no theresa may said the naughtiest thing she'd ever done was running through fields of wheat so it's a cracking meme now".

"Never have I ever ran through a field of wheat..." tweeted Dean.

"Naughty Theresa, NAUGHTY," Rick Edwards posted.

Corbyn was naughtier when he invaded Theresa May's Facebook Live

May got a surprise when her rival sent in a question during a Facebook Live interview.

The Labour leader, who posted as "Jeremy Corbyn of Islington", wanted to know why she didn't want to take part in a live televised debate.

"Thanks @Peston for reading my question to @Theresa_May asking why she won't debate me. It's weak leadership to hide from your record."

Tim Farron revealed he once had a poster of Margaret Thatcher on his wall

The Lib Dem leader told ITV he had "all sorts of weird icons" as a schoolboy.

One of them, former Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher.

"Thumbs up if you fancied Maggie!"

And then he invited voters to, err, "smell his spaniel". He owns one, called Jasper.

"Mad dog and Englishman out fell running in the evening sun..."

No-one quite understands why Tim said "smell my spaniel, maybe" to a voter in Cambridge. We may never know.

He also fell down some stairs on the Lib Dem campaign bus

Andy Bradley captured the moment during a Sky News live.

Then Ed Miliband mowed somebody's lawn

Insert "grass roots" pun here.

"Bit more of a close up to show. He really did mow the lawn"

And became a bingo caller...

"So who wants to see a little clip of @Ed_Miliband calling bingo at the winning post Moorends?"

And Nicola Sturgeon held up some pants

In fact the SNP leader giggled after being given a pair of stained glass Y-fronts.

Who knew such artisan pant-craft even existed?

"This will look great in my porch"
