Some news reporter mistakes are a little more discreet than others... and some are so blunt, without any hesitation, and jaw dropping, that I just have to share.
Homegirl said one of two words that I hate, in a very interesting sentence:
I don't even think she did that on purpose to be funny... I think someone is just an idiot. Oh dear.
Tweet I was once a news reporter... I know things go wrong. I know sometimes it's hard to make a quick comeback after a mistake and sometimes you have to just laugh.
But this "incident" is one of a kind... And there's absolutely no overcoming it, so you might as well zoom in on the most hilarious thing in the scene.
If that's not the biggest ADD mind eff, I don't know what is.
Thank you, news reporters and producers, for putting your job on the line to give us a good laugh.
I always yell at my mom for watching NBC 4 News because I pretty much think they're terrible. Watching them mess up a million times knowing I could get through it without the mess-ups and awkward pauses urks me because I remain jobless.
Anyway...
There is one good thing to happen to NBC: Jim Vance.
The man became a YouTube sensation when laughing at a model before, and now he's hysterical over this burglar that fell off a ladder 7 times.
I definitely can't blame him for laughing... I would have done it too, for sure. At least he's making the news entertaining!
This is one of the most awkward videos I have ever seen.
Ya know the feeling when you have to find a bathroom like... pronto?! Don't lie. It's happened to you. And stop acting like this is gross that I'm talking about it. Fact: It happens to everyone.
Poor reporter lady had that feeling at the wrong time: When she was interviewing someone. Instead of finding a bathroom, she took a risk, and straight pooped herself.
No... Scratch that. She dia'd herself.
Poor lady. She's never going to live that down. White pants, too?! Yikes. I feel like I'm watching someone's nightmare.
I haven't paid one second of attention to Perez Hilton ever since his little fight and ordeal with will.i.am, but apparently he has a book out nowadays. When he went to promote it at a morning news program and showed up a little late, things went very wrong, and he threw a typical Perez fit.
That's not what's worth noting. KTLA News won 43987234 points in this battle when they called him a "talentless dope."
The fact that this little feud was talked about, and put to sleep on a news program is awesome. This is the kind of news program I want to be on!
It's no secret that I love when a news anchor accidentally drops the f-bomb or some other word that is totally no bueno... But this guy must not want to keep his job.
First he drops the f-bomb, then he comments on women working out. Either the dude is schwasted, he got double-dog-dared, or he wants to join the unemployed America.
The best part is the co-anchors reaction after the f-bomb, for sure. Seriously. Pause it. As a matter of fact, I'll do it for you.
HAHAHA I can't even hold it in. This is straight out of a movie. Amazing.
It's probably the reporter in me, but I love watching news videos that are funny, ridiculous, terrible.. Anything. I've learned other people like them too.
Have you seen this one from last week?! Apparently homeboy Glenn Beck thinks the best answer to fix this country is for Osama bin Laden to attack us again.
Uhhh.. WHAT?!? Isn't that what got us here in the first place?! Even if it would "bring us together as a country" or whatever, that only lasted about a year until everyone's car flags started flying away or getting worn out.
This is not the answer... And now I'm scared.
Onto a funnier note... Yet another reporter being heckled by someone in a public place. This guy didn't really keep his cool, though.
I totally thought he called the guy a tool the first time I watched it, which was great. Still, he is smooshin' the S out of his face, which is just as good as calling him a tool.
One day maybe I can smoosh someone's face on the news. That'd be fun.
Alright fellow news reporters, or people who love news bloopers.
I don't consider this a blooper, but I consider it a major eff-up.
The people of FOX News clearly had no idea what was going on, and wanted this lady to look like a complete idiot....
I'm going to go ahead and say they succeeded in their mission, assuming I was right in what they wanted to do.
Really, though?! Passing from anchor to reporter to other reporter to other reporter, back to anchor, then anothe reporter... Get your ish together, people!
I'll tell you what.... I would never make this mistake.
Then again, if I did.... I'd either play it off better, or give up and walk off set.
Sometimes I do indeed watch basketball. [Normally only if I'm at the bar and everyone I'm with is watching it, so I try and look cool by watching it as if I'm really involved with the whole thing.] Most of the time I just hear about great shots or whatever, and then look at them on YouTube.
This incident I will talk about first, is a great example of such times.
LeBron James made the game winning shot the other night and had EVERYONE freaking out, standing up, jumping up and down... You get the idea. Even live news anchors did! Check out this amazing video [If you haven't already on SportsCenter..]
I love how everyone just jumps up... One guy even leaves the set... And no one gets mad about it! THAT is a news team that LOVES its sports team. I love real, spirited fans. I love them even more when they do crazy things on live TV that is normally pretty serious.
As for the shot that was made, if you haven't seen it... Here it is:
One shot that I DID see happen live, was when Billups bounced it off of Kobe Bryant's back and then shot. I saw it, didn't realize what had happened, and watched again.
What the h. Does this happen often?! If not, it needs to, because it was fabulously hilarious, genius, and downright great.
So, basketball fans... I DO watch the sport.... On occasion... When necessary..... Go Wizards?!?
I've learned that there are three types of videos that a lot of people either comment on, or love to watch, and that's cat videos, reporter videos, and funny kids.
It's been a while since I've posted any of the 3 I feel, but I've found some of each today! What a lucky day!
I'm not sure if I want to say that these kids are creepy, talented or funny when they sing Evanescence:
The fact that they know the words to a song that I thought I'd never be able to understand boggles my mind. And how their parents or whoever edited it all together is uber creepy. Still, I was laughing... Somehow.
So what happens when a reporter is doing their stand-up and someone keeps jumping in the background for a chance to be on TV?
Oh... Em... Gee!!! HAHAHA! This guy got his ass HANDED to him!! She straight took off after him! Wow. She's hardcore. And probably PMSing, broke up with her boyfriend, and got fired after this was leaked.
I love seeing cats in front of mirrors. Normally they just do the typical stare, cock their heads to the side, and maybe put their paws up. Not this guy, though. He wanted to have a dance-off with his reflection. Either that, or a scare-off.
He's got some pretty sweet jump to the side moves!! And that box step is ON POINT! Who wins? I just don't know!!
And for kicks... This is maybe the fattest cat I have ever seen, and he tries to run up the stairs.
He made it, but he looks like my family [and me and friends sometimes] after climbing the ridiculous hill we call Frat Row, Price Street, or Spruce Street at WVU. It's okay to take a break, right?!
So hopefully those were enough to satisfy your craving! They definitely did the trick for me! For now, anyways.
I'll admit, when I first watched the news autotuning video, I didn't get the humor in it. Then I watched the office one while I was uber-ADD today and I couldn't stop laughing. Everything's better when you're ADDing.
Basically, take a real life situation, add a T-Pain microphone, and you got yourself a funny video... An "autotuning" video.
Okay, okay. I'm sold. They're hilarious. This little microphone thing is going to take over the world... I'm calling it now.
Learn, and think, before you do this weekend, people!
1. If you are on live TV, and someone next to you passes out, don't just look at her.
That guy just lost every chance he could have ever gotten in the future with any lady. So much for chivalry.
2. If you are bigger than your mode of transportation, don't try and do tricks on it.
Did he really think that would work out alright in the end? Let's be honest...
3. If you want to eat Dibs ice cream and look cool at the same time, you better be prepared to work hard at it.
Holy cow. These things fascinate me. How do they even come up with it all?! And I totally miss those sweet marbles tubes things!
4. Don't try and play a prank on your parents at 2am. You might come across something you weren't expecting.
Oh my. I'd be scarred for life. Forget ever looking at my parents again.
5. Don't bring your mom on Spring Break with you. She might think she's young again, and enter into a booting shaking contest.
Apparently she also made out with another contestant, and flashed everyone. Not okay. Although I would have been dying of laughter if I were there, and it was my friend's mom or something.
Alright, don't do anything crazy this weekend, kids! As for me, I'll be in PITTSBURGH seeing BRITNEY SPEARS tonight! Holy cow, I can't wait!
It's always funny to see someone do something to someone else without them knowing.
For example, two of my friends used to ALWAYS talk to random people behind their backs. They would have no idea what my friends were saying, or even that they were talking to them. It was great.
BUT! It's even funnier when it's broadcasted on TV, and you're a reporter.. Because we all love reporter videos.
Imagine finishing your live piece and someone saying "You just got humped!" Oh boy, that'd be great.
Another one bites the dust! Another reporter, that is.
I'm always amazed at the way news anchors and reporters keep their composure during some stories, slip-ups, whatever. This time, they couldn't do it.
Yeah, I can't blame him. I would have NEVER been able to read the prompter if I saw some lady grabbing her awkwardly shaped, ginormous booty over and over again. She's like flopping that thing and it looks like a crescent moon or something because it's missing the last round piece!
[Okay.. That may not have made sense to you, but it does to me. I'm quite delirious at this point, but I gotta get you some things to read!]
She probably needs to get those removed ASAP. That's awkward. And now she's getting a 15 minutes of "fame" that she definitely didn't ask for. Even more awkward.
Sometimes, you just don't want to hear anymore about the bad economy, people dying in the war, or people getting murdered... I get that.
But... Hmmm... Does that mean news people should give up on reporting anything and just waste a little airtime?
Sure, everyone loves a good dance party... But this one, is just plain awkward, and I'm bothered by it:
Did you catch the "I'll make like a squirrel I just want a nut"?!?! [Or something like that..] If this was really on TV.. Is that appropriate?! Just wondering..
I still am just a little in shock. But this is hilarious. If I would have seen this on my TV, I think I would have just froze, and then died laughing. These people were so serious!
Oh news reporters and anchors, you SERIOUSLY NEVER cease to amaze me... And I can't wait to be just like you.
Ahh, yes. Another reporter doing something that everyone else would know not to do. But when you gotta get the story, you'll do anything to make it the best.
Still, some things aren't always worth it. For instance, if you're story has something to do with a train, that still doesn't mean you should stand within inches of the tracks before a train comes.
She's lucky she didn't get swept away, really. Or, imagine if something would have went terribly wrong, and something like this happened:
Woah. How did that guy NOT freak out?! Talk about scary.
What a trooper, though. The first thing he does is pull his camera back out. Genius.
All I'm sayin' is... Reporters have to use their noggin a little more... For things OTHER THAN finding the story. [Woops. I hope professors don't come running after me now..]
