The worst best part about eye-witness or on-location interviews for local news segments, is that it can really be ANYONE. Recently, a serious report about a bed intruder launched Antoine Dodson's 15 minutes of fame for his eccentric interview on camera, but he's not the only one who's become a YouTube star due to their local news antics. From last week's eccentric coffee lady describing a robbery, to classics such as the Oakland "whistle tips" report or the interview at the fair that ended with a zombie kid saying "I like turtles," there are plenty of hilarious local news interviews to go around. We've collected the best ones in the slideshow below, so don't forget to vote for the most ridiculous!
