The 13 Funniest Local News Segments Of All Time (VIDEO)

Cleveland Bear Reenactment

Hands down the worst use of props in the history of props. I quote: “This is what the bear probably looked like…except real.” Cue shot of cardboard cutout of black bear. Fox 8 then goes on to provide reenactments, via person holding cardboard cutout, of what it “probably looked like” if the bear was to, say, run forward or climb a tree. Equally bizarre is the giant talking bunny rabbit at 3:15.

This Today Show clip is classic: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/1221/

The news guy freaking out about that lizard thing jumping on him was funny, but my favorite is the one with the two broads getting licked by dogs. LOL

The weather guy freaking out queen-style is a classic. I bet he wouldn't have freaked out of the roach was left out of c.ockroach.

[lawrencemuh]

what's really funny .. they are getting paid to report this stuff.. "I like Turtles".

[JazzHands]

Name of the game: you "wut" you lose.

I'm fairly certain the "News Reporter gets Angry" is a hoax for these reasons.

1. The guy didn't look drunk and looked more or less like a respectable person who wouldn't intentionally annoy a news correspondent who is clearly becoming agitated with you.
2. 3?! times...and he does the ROBOT? (I laughed a lot at that)
4. She screams right on the word "violent" and runs angrily off camera, and the cameraman doesn't follow the shot.
5.The cameraman takes the time to run around in-FRONT of the camera in order to come to the aid (for dramatic effect).
6.The camera is clearly on a tripod as it doesn't move when the cameraman moves away from it, on location shots are usually shot with a shoulder mounted cam.

It seems likely this is a film school project uploaded as authentic. Enjoyable though :)

You definitely left out the "laughing newscasters" when the model fell down on the runway. Those newscasters were howling!

It was a local Maryland/DC station...THAT was funny! These, not so much...

[socialtalker]

i have to agree about the laughing newscasters being the funniest. hands down!

[TheCobes]

I saw this video on a local news episode and it's sweet! You won't regret checking this out...

the address is obviously someone's user page on youtube. its a tacky lie.

[Clare53]

None of them were particularly funny. Most were just stupid.

[WebCommoner]

The bear story is exactly what put the Daily Show on top.

[Angelus2007]

I love the leprechauns, the flute, a crack addict in the tree...comedy GOLD!!!

[bluize]

The jumping lizard, watched over 10 times, still funny. What you don't see but hear in the grapes is funny, the rest not at all funny.

[egaeus]

Most of these are not funny, they're just stupid news stories that show how little news actually makes it on the air. The one with the woman who falls out of the pail filled with grapes isn't humorous at all because she is obviously actually hurt and can't breathe. What is funny about someone seriously injuring herself escapes me.

[BillLaimbeer]

Not a fan of Keyboard Cat I take it? What's funny about it is that it's not me. But sometimes it is, and that's funny too!

[SharonaMonk]

I laughed.

But, I felt bad about it.

[breeding]

Yeah, I'm with you. The Grape Lady was an unfortunate incident and I could have done without it. Took all the fun out of this posting. Don't have a sense of humor? I think I like mine better than David Stemler's.

[DarkWitch]

The newcaster and the lizard, hands down! OMG, it was so funny I had to watch it about a dozen times.

[SharonaMonk]

I simply could not breathe, I was laughing SO hard. That was the best.

I'm surprised that they didn't have the one where the weatherman saw a r/o/a/c/h and lost his mind. One of my all time favs:

[FrankenPC]

Only Fox would show something as r3tard3d as that bear reenactment.

What about Palin and the Silence of the Turkeys?
