Weatherman’s snowfall meltdown

February 6, 2021 • 2:45 pm

UPDATE: This is a very good hoax, but it’s not real, as a commenter notes. I wuz had!

Here we have a real-life example of “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more.” A weatherman, forced to stand in shirtsleeves in the snow, bridles at having to suffer for the sake of a live weather shot. And then he questions his whole life, saying that he didn’t spend $120,000 on an education to be made into a performing snow-monkey.

  2. Poor guy & a good point – TV producers are idiots, BUT I go around with my sleeves rolled up without a coat even in rain & snow 😉

  3. $40,000 CDN per year for 4 years, and he cannot afford a winter jacket and head covering? Just ask the dumb-ass TV bosses for a 2nd vest, one big enough to fit over a good parka. Or is he worried about looking like the unsexy rolly-polly michelin tire man? Didn’t really seem all that amusing to me.

    I hope he doesn’t lose his job.

  4. No matter how stupid his boss is, he’s still better off to keep his cool and address it through channels or look for another job (or both).

  9. Funny stuff, but it turns out he’s not a TV weatherman – he’s a comedian named John Crist. You can find this video on his Book of Faces page at https://www.facebook.com/watch/johnbcrist/ (I had feeling it was fake because we’ve had hardly any snow in the Colorado Front Range area this year, as opposed to you poor folks in the midwest.)

  10. Why would the guy go out there without a coat? Didn’t that 4 year degree teach him don’t do that?

    By the way it had really turned cold all over the Midwest today and it is going to be with us for maybe 10 days or more. Thanks for that Canada. I saw a guy in the parking lot at Target today walking in with a shirt and shorts. The wind was blowing and about 26 degrees.

    1. Jeez, 26 degrees sounds pretty warm to this Canuck! That’s 26 more than freezing, nearly plus 80 in an old strange system that I read about in an ancient real ink document from medieval times, one which was used by people who followed that Faren-something conspiracy theory.

      Maybe I been `had’ too, by foreigners with a strange sense of humour–sorry, humor. See #4 above!.

  11. I was about to say John Crist is a comedian, but I said it anyway even though you figured it out. I liked his Every Parent at Disney vid, even though it got stale toward the end.

  12. Reminds me of the evening news reports of storms with flooded streets. They virtually always make the reporter do their whole report standing in thigh-deep water. It’s utterly ridiculous.

    1. I believe the standing out in a Hurricane or Typhoon is always good. Do they really think the viewer needs that. If the wind is up to 75 or 100 mph it is pretty stupid for anyone to be out there. I lived in Okinawa for 5 years where they had lots of typhoons. The rules from the military were, when the wind hit 50 mph you went to lock down. Everyone had to be inside. If you didn’t understand why that was necessary, I guess you weren’t ready for the 2nd grade.

  14. My favorite was a Daily Show bit where they had a picture of Anderson Cooper standing out in a hurricane. Suddenly a big road sign, one of those aluminum four foot by four foot ones, went flying right past him like a Frisbee. The voice over from Jon Stewart is: “Whoa. AC 360 almost just became AC180!”
