On American Idol, judge Katy Perry is known for her over-the-top antics that range from slightly silly to outright hilarious, and her funniest moments from season 20 will make anyone break out into belly laughs. Katy is a pop superstar who began her work as a judge in 2018, alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. Her stint started when ABC revived American Idol after it was cancelled by FOX in 2016, following 15 seasons. In her five seasons on the show, Katy has been the perfect mentor to the finalists, who often give her credit for providing them with advice that they can take with them throughout their careers.

The American Idol judge Katy is known for more than being a cheerleader and guide to the contestants. Although she knows when to tone it down and get serious, her funny personality often comes to the surface, creating some hilarious moments on the show. She and Luke joke around as though they are brother and sister, with Lionel attempting to bring them back down to earth.

American Idol season 20 had some of Katy's funniest moments in the history of the show. She not only gifted the American Idol audience with her musical talent, but displayed real comedic chops. Her highlights from the platinum season are sure to keep everyone laughing for years to come. See some of her best moments below:

The Queso Song

While she was in Texas for the American Idol Austin auditions, Katy returned from her lunch break to find Luke playing the piano in the audition room. Katy told Luke that she still had her queso, which was presumably left over from earlier in the day, and stored under the judges' desk. As he continued to play the piano, Luke asked her if she wanted to heat it up because he had a microwave in his room, but, instead of answering him, Katy broke out into a ballad about queso.

With Luke's piano accompaniment, Katy invented lyrics about queso, singing, "This is queso. We ain't in El Paso. It's been under the desk. And it ain't gone hard." Luke burst out laughing. Katy continued, "Just in queso you forget, I like snacks, yeah." As she crunched on tortilla chips that she dipped in the queso, she dramatically sang, "Melts in your mouth! Won't let you down! [Expletive] the calories! It's the cheese!" Katy deadpanned the whole thing, singing in her soaring voice without laughing once. The juxtaposition of the ridiculous lyrics with the incredibly beautiful singing was hilarious.

Katy Splits Her Pants

During a break in the American Idol Hollywood Week action, Luke led the contestants in a Katy Perry sing-a-long to her song, "Teenage Dream." As Luke jokingly danced in front of Katy to encourage her to join in, she burst into song. When Katy sang the lyric about "skin-tight jeans," she danced down to the floor, and split her red leather pants. Katy asked for some tape as Luke and the contestants laughed and cheered. Katy was still laughing as she leaned on the judges' desk, and Luke assisted the crew with covering the rip in her pants with bright yellow tape. She jokingly shouted, "Hurry up!" The clip ended with Lionel's song "Stuck On You" playing in the background.

Katy Falls For Disney Night

On American Idol Disney Night, Katy dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, complete with a beautiful seafoam green mermaid tail that made it impossible for her to walk. In fact, Luke and Lionel had to wheel Katy out onto the stage on a dolly. When host Ryan Seacrest attempted to continue on with the show, there was suddenly a loud off-camera crash. The camera then revealed that Katy had fallen backwards in her chair as it tipped over. As Ryan rushed toward the judges' table to help Katy, Luke howled with hysterical laughter, pointing at her while she was on the floor. Thankfully, she was not injured, and neither was Lionel, as she nearly stabbed him with her fork (or dinglehopper) on the way down. The Top 10 American Idol finalists could hardly believe their eyes as they watched the hilarious scene unfold.

Katy is one of the best judges in American Idol history, and she is definitely the funniest. She makes the show entertaining with her amusing antics every year. She seems to have a genuine brother and sister relationship with Luke, as he jokingly takes great joy in seeing her in funny situations. The judges have a great time together, which brings hilarious comedy to American Idol, courtesy of Katy Perry.
