It's 5PM, And Now, Time For The Weather, Motherfucker

A couple of dudes visit their local news affiliate to talk about an upcoming wrestling event for charity. Then they suplex the weatherman.

Aww. It's cute when Local News Affiliates get creative.

"Sandy owns a copy of that Jim Carrey movie Man on the Moon? You know, the one about the Jew comedian from New York? We all got together and watched a half hour during lunch every day in the break-room for a week. It was a lot of fun but I'll tell you, I didn't think much about it. And then a couple weeks later Brian comes in to the Wednesday meeting and he says 'You know what, I think we could be just as funny as that Andy Whatsit fella," and that's how the whole thing got started. I sleep with a gun under my pillow." (Thanks for the tip, Warren.)

"cheap cologne and bad.......fake........hair." What an actor! A true athlete too. I smell a reality show if you can get those 3 to move into an apartment together.

OK. So these dudes are so fat that they can't even tuck in their shirts even though their on TV (which is prolly a big deal amongst their cohort). The old HS is now city hall slash gym. Tix are available at Subway (not just one, but the OTHER one too!). I think my head just exploded.

I think my favorite part, though, is the self-aware 'sad laugh' from the newscaster who realizes that he'll never bust that glass ceiling into a larger market. I've got a : ( for you right here, buddy.
