For quite a lot of NBA fans, seeing Charles Barkley on live TV is the biggest treat. At the heart of the TNT analyst’s fame are his hilarious escapades and bizarrely funny jokes. Besides, the Chuckster also accepts pranks on himself while entertaining his beloved spectators. Once, Barkley went candid about a hilarious idea and had to almost show his rear side on live TV. Recently, Chuck and his peers had a hearty laugh after they recalled this hilarious idea.

While they revisited Charles Barkley’s comical idea, they sounded like they were trying to forget it ever since. However, Sir Charles does not want to forget it. Rather, he proudly explained his idea once again, and he broke into a laughter while doing so.

Charles Barkley proudly recalls one of his bizarre ideas

Months back, Charles Barkley candidly told co-host Ernie Johnson about a bizarre tattoo idea he had in his mind. As the Chuckster puts it, he wants to get a tattoo that says ‘mom’ on his backside. Barkley explained that it will read ‘wow’ when he is upside down. Ernie Johnson was bewildered to hear the 1993 MVP’s bizarre idea. Now, on the recent episode of The Steam Room podcast, Barkley and Johnson have revisited the tattoo idea.

In the episode, TK, who is set to bid farewell, tested Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson with a trivia. While EJ was still leading the trivia, TK threw another question at him. TK asked Johnson about Chuck’s comical tattoo idea. He asked EJ to explain what the tattoo was and where Chuck was going to get it. Johnson quickly answered the tattoo question. The Chuckster went on to explain that it will read mom when he stands straight and it will read wow when he is upside down. “Poor late mother would be really proud of that,” TK remarked after hearing Barkley’s tattoo plan.

During an Inside the NBA episode, Charles Barkley got very close to showing his rump on live TV, on the back of the same ‘mom’ tattoo plan.

As Charles Barkley had only told Ernie Johnson about the tattoo he wants to get, the latter revealed the idea to co-hosts Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith on the NBA on TNT floor. The trio was quick to bring in a tattoo artist to the studio, so that Chuck can get his dream tattoo done. Barkley didn’t see that coming. However, Shaq forced Chuck to get it done, and Chuck had to lie down on the couch to get his back tattooed.
