During last night's episode of Dancing With the Stars, judge Bruno Tonioli was in the middle of critiquing Drew Scott and Emma Slater's performance when the judge took a bit of a tumble, falling backward out of his chair.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was telling Scott, "You don't have much dance experience, I can tell...," when Tonioli seemingly laughed himself out of his chair and fell.

The judge laughed it off and returned to his feet, saying, "I knew that was gonna happen!"

"You know you've done something magical when Bruno falls off his chair," quipped Inaba.

During the commercial break, crewmembers attended to Tonioli and gave him water, although he quickly returned to form to judge Vanessa Lachey and Maksim Chmerkovskiy's dance.

Fans of the show know that the judge often gets so enthused that he stands up and occasionally falls down, and Tonioli later stood again to praise Frankie Muniz and pro Witney Carson, who received the highest score of the night.

Naturally, Twitter users were quick to poke a bit of fun at the expressive judge.
