LONDON - British breakfast TV seems to be getting weirder and weirder.

A few weeks ago ITV hosts were presenting their show hungover and now BBC presenters are throwing eggs.

To celebrate the start of the 2016 RBS Six Nations rugby tournament, the BBC has launched something called the #ChuckyEggChallenge and it's seen presenters launching eggs at each other all morning.

Explaining that all you need is a friend and a egg, they want viewers to throw eggs to one another with a rugby style pass.

But the catch is you have to do it for 20 seconds, standing six feet apart, and try not the break the egg.

The challenge left some viewers confused and annoyed at the presenters wasting food.

I bet thousands of battery hens are delighted their incarceration was worth it for this @BBCBreakfast #ChuckyEggChallenge— Lee Mark Davies (@LeeMarkDavies) February 5, 2016

@BBCNews so wasting food is now funny is it? Out of order BBC #ChuckyEggChallenge— Colin Boyd (@Colin_M_Boyd) February 5, 2016

Millions starving to death in the world and the BBC thinks wasting eggs in its juvenile #ChuckyEggChallenge is funny. It's pathetic.— Jeff Buck (@JeffBuck82) February 5, 2016

Watching a group of adults chucking an egg back & fore on breakfast is ridiculous waste of time and eggs.#chuckyeggchallenge. #monkeyTparty— Animal Farm (@AnimalFarmN15) February 5, 2016

This Berkshire school decided to join in with the #ChuckyEggChallenge but used wooden egg, so no food was wasted in the process.

Anna & Ulyana got into the Six Nations #ChuckyEggChallenge spirit using wooden eggs - https://t.co/lO0vouNVUl - 19 passes in 20s— Dolphin School (@DolphinSch) February 5, 2016
