  • Can't believe they let that poor dude suffer that long. That was worse than public access cable shows.
  • I'm getting solid DNS errors on that disloyal.org domain... anyone else?
  • The poor guy! He even did worse than the first time I had to give a presentation created by my boss on something I was uninformed about, with no hints on what she meant to say. He had to have been drafted for that. I do hope he can laugh about it now.
  • Holy crap that was awesome.
  • Works fine for me. Painful to watch, but fine.
  • Ouch. I can't help thinking I'd be just as bad.
  • At least he's not naked. And singing. About bunnies. And at least we didn't see him DRINKIN' DA BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Enough with the self-links, ok?? JK, that was great. Keep posting!
  • wow, I couldnt even watch it after a few seconds. painful!
  • So very cruel, but he's getting paid right? Probably the last time they draft an account manager from payroll to do the weather though.
  • that has to have been staged. what about the anchors? i didn't know debutantes were allowed to read the news.
  • Well, it could be worse. This is a newcast from the students at Ohio University, not a professional report. I'm guessing Louis has found another major by now.
  • that has to have been staged. what about the anchors? i didn't know debutantes were allowed to read the news. I wondered about that. Maybe a college broadcast or something? Meh, even if it's fake, it's funny.
  • I get DNS errors too...this sucks I wanna see!
  • I'm still getting the DNS errors too -- I'm on a Comcast connection right now. The rest of the web works fine. Weird.
  • Right. The girls look like they are teenagers. If it were a real television show, they would have cut off the guy immediately. I thought it might be some sort of tryout. I didn't think it was staged because it didn't get increasingly outrageous. It certainly makes sense that it is a college thing. I am sure that there are countless college djs who have similar performances.
  • It's a student run news show.
  • Recently one of our news shows started giving the financial/stock-related news to an outside group, presumably based in the stock exchange or something. About three people took turns reading the financial news -- about a three-minute segment highlighting the big sells and major drops for the day. One of these guys lost it one day and turned into a stammering mess, his huge staring eyes pleading at the camera for mercy. He managed to finish the segment but he pretty much behaved like the weatherguy here, minus the awkward figuring-out-where-to-stand parts. He has never returned. He won a prize for freakiest eyes on another current affairs show. If I were him, I'd probably have fled the country.
  • Reminds me of the "boom goes the dynamite" student sportscaster guy. I'm guessing the weather video is real -- the guy keeps referencing his monitor and moving the wrong way, as if it were a mirror.
  • He probably did it for a class. Like MelancholyPlatypus said, it's a college show at Ohio.
  • This is older than dirt. It's a college newscast. According to this article it is from the Ohio University Public Television channel.
  • Older then dirt? Now that's old!
  • Nope, 404 errors here. Anyone?
  • Try here VertexOfLife.
  • or this...
  • You guys are wrong that he's bad. This is the new "dadaist-abstract" weather presentation. He's actually not being quite bad enough to be good, but give him a few more shows.
  • I think that's what I'd look like on my first night as weatherman.
  • It's midnight and I'm cackling/hyperventilating like a witch on nitrous. My poor downstairs neighbors. [Pictures terrified neighbors in bed, sheets pulled up their chins, their eyes cartoon wide, staring up at the ceiling. Resume cackling.]
  • Awesome. The guy flipping the screens is killing me ))) Thanks Lewis I sure wish it was warmer! )))
  • I thought he did better than this guy.
  • It's...er...cold! *runs crying from the studio*
  • "And if you live in kitfisto's ocular cavity, there is a 100% chance of precipitation. Again." [Tries to point it out on the board, accidentally gouges out kit's good eye with official meteorologist pointy stick.]
  • As long as we're on the crazy weatherman clips, check out this one.
  • Nervous energy translates differently in different people, I s'pose.. he didn't throw up..
  • I thought he did better than this guy. Knickers, see my link above...
  • Sorry tennenho, I missed your link. It looked like you were giving VoL an alternate link to the nervous guy, so I never bothered to click it (since I didn't need an alternate link to him).
  • No problem, bro.
