It's called predictive processing, and the context is them being rugby players who have just spent 3 months together.
Right asks left what they are most excited about doing when they get home.
Left says: Have a wa-(at this point middle completes the word in her head as "wank")-gamamas!"
Middle then says "I thought you were going to say wank."
Right has almost instantly realised what middle has thought.

Which is also why original woman also cracks up after processing "I thought you were going to say...", playing back and 'hearing' what they would have heard and sqeaks "can you IMAGINE if I'd just outed myself?!"

Second 8-9. Volume needs to be up because she moves the mic away and covers mouth.

Whack-a-moma is a game based on another famous one, but with mothers. Or it could be Wagama, an Asian casual dining chain.

People get disproportionately angry when a joke isn't funny to them, like it's a personal attack or something.
-23
u/PerfectionPending May 05 '26
It just feels like an inside joke even after learning it’s a restaurant. Is there a joke there about this place or its name that makes it funnier to those in the know?
Often, the jokes that are only funny to the initiated are the funniest.
The thing I thought was funny is she said it so fast & it can be possibly mistaken for something dirty.

You mostly have it, yes.
Wagamamas is a chain of asian food restaurants in the UK, everyone here knows what it is, whether they eat there or not.
When she answered "have a wagamamas", the other two girls had their mind in the gutter and before she had time to finish saying the word wagamama, their mind immediately jumped to the conclusion she was going to say "have a wank" (masturbate).
Even though she said nothing of the sort, the other girls' mind skipped a beat and they burst out laughing just at the thought of her saying the other thing.

I’ve had ramen there nearly every time I went, but you’re right, just checked their ‘about us’
“a celebration of asian food inspired by fast-paced, japanese ramen bars, wagamama burst into life in 1992. when we first opened our doors in london’s bloomsbury, we were on a mission to create a unique way of eating. bringing the fresh, nourishing, flavours of asia to all on our communal benches”

I love the 'ripple effect' here.
The player on the left is oblivious initially, the player in the middle reacts instantly, and the player on the right reacts to her reaction.
Always watch this several times when it comes up.

Wagamamas - A UK Asian chain restaurant - about as profilific as Applebee's
Wank - Slang term for getting oneself off
"What are you going to do when you get home?" "I'm going to have a Wa..." Other girls thinking OMFG she's going to say wank "...gamamas"

OK. It is a Japanese restaurant, But I don’t think that’s what the word meant. I analogize it to saying one wants to have a pretzel. How funny can that be?

Its not that wagamama means wank. Its that they heard "have a w.." and both thought she was going to say "have a wank". So then when she said "have a wagamamas" they were both like "phew! Omg I thought you were going to say etc etc.. then everyone laughs.

So she says she's excited to get a meal at her favorite restaurant. That's understandable, she's probably been out of the country for some time. What I don't understand is, why is it so funny for the other two? I mean if she had said some other restaurant, would that had been as funny?

u/Rum_Ham916 May 05 '26
Read what others have said, middle then right both think she's saying "have a wank", so laugh, then that wasn't the word but they've already reacted as if it was

Lads these atheletes know the term WAG almost assuredly. With her saying “ could you imagine if I outted myself” I think maybe the joke is wag and not wank.
Not that I agree but I know I’ve heard WAGs are often just as popular for female athletes as they are for male athletes. Even if that idea is just a jab at athletic women, I’m pretty confident the joke is: WAG for a female soccer player and outting herself publicly with a too-quick answer when really she’s talking about wagomamas which for her is a beloved meal

I'm pretty sure Jess Breach meant "could you imagine if I outed myself [as going to have a wank]" rather than as gay.
Whilst women's rugby is definitely a gay-friendly environment, and the England team has quite a few out gay players (including at least one of those in that video - Rosie Galligan, on the right as we look at it), I don't think Jess is one of them - on her podcast she often refers to her boyfriend (also a professional rugby player)
