If there's one hilarious running joke all NBA fans know about, it's Charles Barkley's long history of making fun of women from San Antonio. The NBA legend has been making TV audiences laugh for more than two decades now, but these particular Chuck jokes have always gained the most notoriety.

It seems that the women of San Antonio have had enough, though. In a hilarious clip posted by TNT, Barkley played a game of 'Pop The Balloon' with women from the city.

It's a popular online dating game, where an interview process between one person and several potential suitors results in players popping their balloons if they don't find someone appealing. Predictably, this did not go well for the former Suns man.

During the video, as soon as Charles Barkley walked into the room, a majority of their women popped their balloons. The ones that didn't promptly followed suit when he introduced himself. Following this, Kenny Smith and Barkley interviewed the women to find out why they popped their balloons.

This opened it up for them to roast Chuck completely. One lady brought up the fact that Barkley has no rings, while another mocked his golf swing.

He was also called unattractive by a woman, and another asked if Shaq was single instead. The truth came out with the last answer, when a woman said she couldn't like anyone who talked bad about her city.

That certainly applies to Charles Barkley, who has referred to San Antonio's women as those 'big 'ol women', and made incessant jokes about them eating churros among other things. It may have been a long time coming, but Barkley finally got a dose of his own medicine from none other than his favorite comedic targets
