LONDON -- Louis Theroux is an undisputed master of the unusual interview. No matter what situation he finds himself in -- whether it's questioning religious fundamentalists or chatting to UFO seekers -- he always knows how to handle himself.

When the British documentary-maker's quotes are taken out of context, though, something wonderful happens.

The Twitter account @NoContextLouis was set up a week ago, but it's already picked up well over 60,000 followers. It's basically just a collection of random stills and quotes from Louis' many documentaries with absolutely no surrounding context.

Here are some of the highlights.











The best part? The big man himself is a fan.

According to the Daily Edge, the person behind the account is a woman from Ireland whose personal account is @MustardCreams.

"I'm delighted people found his one liners as funny as I did," she told them. "I never thought it would ever take off like it did but I'm happy about it."
