Newsnight Weather Reports - Paxman resists

[indy021781]

Sheer Paxo genius!

[nhtet]

"It's April, what do you expect?"

[crazyfox564]

he is class lol .

[TheMD1331]

They should definitely get Paxman on Have I Got News For You or Top Gear like they did with John Prescott

[LadyBeetleLauren]

@threnx that is not even close to australia....

[dickie4thepeople]

when is paxman on newsnight ?

[JayDizzl879]

Clarkson, you insufferable oaf!!!



[threnx]

Wow 8-13 degrees? I had no idea australia got so freezing!

[lucaskelly11]

@threnx

Thats not Australia.



[glypo]

@threnx Not to mention that is Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

[Kaldhore]

Paxman = Legend

[jimmyshitbags]

has anyone ever heard of any other variety of "smorgasbord" than the veritable kind?

[AlbertBundy]

This is the greatest thing in the world ever.

[ScarySquirrel]

What is a veritable smorgasbord?

[Comedy1Channel]

@ScarySquirrel

A wide range of something; a variety of...well here ... a variety of 'crappy days'

[MrHeslopian]

@ScarySquirrel A wide variety.

[GT5hotlaps]

Jeremy clarkson!

[jjjeh1]

why are people so angry and abusive today. If someone makes a mistake maybe due to ignorance, why not simply correct the person rather than abusing them. Whats wrong with most of you? Are you so frustrated with your life that you lash out at people at the smallest opportunity? When you abuse people on very small matters it really shows you are yourself very ignorant.

[Lindelamare]

@jjjeh1 Insult Clarkson and his disciples will unleash sweary hell!

[jjjeh1]

@Lindelamare

Who is Clarkson?

[Lindelamare]

@jjjeh1 I thought you were referring to the people having a go at someone who said they didn't like jeremy clarkson (the guest host of have i got news for you).

[transonicbuoy1]

Paxman is God.

[Aldeberan9]

@transonicbuoy1 or at least Moses

[godfreyih]

Oh god, but isn't J.Clarkson loathsome.

And Merton is neurotically incapable of letting anyone else have the last laugh (viz. Just A Minute).

And Greer has at last located her Inner Old Bag.

Thank heavens for Paxman. And occasionally Hislop.

[offworldcolony1]

Paxman is a national hero

[TheLongestPath]

My ribs hurt I'm laughing so much.

They should have kept making him do it :)

[comanchio1976]

@TheLongestPath Haha I agree, I've watched this dozens of times, it's still makes me hysterical with laughter

[multiverses2009]

wtf is that topgear twat doing on this show?

[tiddlywinks98712]

@multiverses2009 presenting......you fucking IDIOT

[jenssoderberg]

@multiverses2009

He is there to keep it folk-le and on the ground (I Can't believe i used those words in connection with Jeremy Clarkson, but hey, we all loose connection with reality some time or another)

[thecuriouscritic]

@multiverses2009 Clearly you don't watch it often or you would know he has being on it, and presented it a number of times. You twat.

[Misterwhalley88]

Paxman is one of the funnies people on television, even if he's not intending to be!

[pompeypirate]

Knight Paxman now!

[alexandermccarthy]

"...it's April...waddaya expect?" Classic Paxo!

[TheUntitled100]

Sun, rain, thunder, hail, snow, cold, winds.

[blokoman]

@StateDuma could anyone please tell me what a smorgasbord is please?

i know my ignorance is shameful, please :)

[raverdeath100]

@blokoman a swedish buffet.

[TheMaximilianMck]

@blokoman A varied collection of something

[alexandermccarthy]

@blokoman Google is your friend.

[DragonSporks]

Just when I thought Jeremy Paxmen couldn't get any better...

[UighurKnight]

very smart.

[NarcissistsDie]

@MrIrishlogic Go for it.

[NarcissistsDie]

@MrIrishlogic Snot coming down your nose as well?

[NarcissistsDie]

@MrIrishlogic It's generally above him. Tit.

[123backinyerface]

Paxman is as sharp as a razor blade, it doesn't matter who he is interviewing or whether he agrees with them or not, he grills them equally on both sides. Awesome dry humor too, can't beat that in a presenter.

[WeaselKing1000]

And to think when I was little I occasionally got confused between these two Jeremys...

[onlinefreak415]

right in the begining pause the vid so it would stay at 0 secs then hold the left key to play a game of snake!

[Akkra0]

All hail Paxo!!

[dezboss]

If ever England became a republic, Paxman would be my ideal choice for President!

[vixstar999]

april - WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?!!

[paulmrussell12]

Never know whether to love him or hate him, used to love some of his 'don't beat around the bush' type of interviews but often now he tries to be the center of attention, not allow the debate to flow- but when you hate somebody I like to seem them interviewd by him!

[danbit5]

after the interviews jeremy does with other guests i forgive him, with the weather predictions:)

[GusF]

Jeremy Paxman should be Prime Minister. He's get all of his MPs in line within a week and they could focus on running their country instead of their expenses.

[Redcarpet01]

@GusF Yah, a national gem that knows how to put some stick about!

[LordAlbion]

Paxman is fantastic :)

[Velasca]

Paxman wouldn't be chased out of a studio by Paul Merton, let me tell you.

[rob91Harvey]

I like to wear wooly socks...

[warriorsfan19]

I wished they show this in America. Paxman is ACE!!!!!!

[grahamkeithtodd]

@warriorsfan19 they do show newsnight in the USA go to PBS on friday nights

[and551]

take an umbrella with u tommorow. lol. im gonna say that 2 the next person who asks me what the weather tommorow will be like

[CiaranDUK]

@StateDuma Indeed! Fantastic.

[AlbertBundy]

The 12 people who gave this a thumbs down need to explain themselves. This is absolute solid gold.

[ninjawhale03]

Jeremy paxman is one of the very few people that can make sarcasm awesomely funny and not a lowly form of humor

[talkarmada73]

Brilliant!

Don't fuck with The Pax!!

[commodoreherring]

it's a veritable smorgasbord!

beautiful

[kisbie]

Google 'Jeremy Paxman weather' and the first result is an article he wrote for the Newsnight website. Possibly with tongue in cheek, though perhaps not, he actually says he preferred doing the weather to finance stuff. It's just that his take on it was 'non-patronising'.

Amazingly, the weather was swiftly axed and the markets returned because of a viewer poll! Who the hell wanted the boring old market graphs back?

[avril2]

If it was axe Paxman or the weather, which would get axed?

They couldn't lose him, and if he were to send it up everytime...?

[Hallucigeniacouk]

i hate the weather - why does it have to be tacked onto the end of every single news report? worst is bbc news 24 through the night, the weather reports are always interrupting the fun stuff

[modemeyes]

Good old Paxo...Its April, what do you expect! 5* & Fav

[StuRaz]

I remember watching them on TV at the time, just brilliant!

[mattd2275]

Great clip, its pretty apt because Clarkson and Paxman have the same deadpan humour.

[avril2]

Paxman is not an immature, though.

[kisbie]

@mattd2275 Yorkshire humour they call it. They're both from that county.

[Snagprophet]

best weather report ever

[cofpaddy]

Lol i remember this well :p

[jmm1233]

Paxman FTW

[artysmokes]

Paxman's weather forecasts were very similar to those on spoof news show "The Day Today" from 1995. "Silvester Stewart" would say "In summary then... cool, showers, hot, cool, showers, hot".

[kisbie]

Not really. Stewart's forecasts were full of metaphors that were either suggestive or just plain silly. Paxman however just cuts to the chase.

[nothingtoobig]

thats one hell of a weather man LOL

[danegel]

3 years old and it's as funny as it was in 2006.

[kisbie]

This clip is from 2005 actually. Pedantic I know.

[danegel]

First time I saw it was on here so heh.

[potatoface13]

I sat in his chair, at his desk yesterday xd

[glenn85uk]

LOL, so dry, very funny.

[manalivebyNICE]

Second weather report is the best... Gets to the point.

[tomjones15]

I think, no actually I am certain that Jeremy Paxman is one of the greatest men to have ever lived!

[cisco9x]

1/4 Million hits, Only PAXMAN

[antistar1000]

Paxo is God.

[jaycek]

this is the funniest shit I've seen for ages! ahahaha!

[kings900]

Lol what!!???

[PurushaDesa]

Well the implication being if they actually 'douched' each other, it would be quite different to them having a fight.

[kings900]

/haha :)

[NottinghamForest22]

thats the best weather forecast I have ever watched

[carpypark]

emily maitlis? Pah!

[comanchio1976]

Paxman IS a legend!! If he stood for election that maybe enough to persuade me to vote again! Prime-minister Paxman has a great ring to it!

[dannyhulse]

"The Forcast is, April..."

"The second Newsnight weather report...Bring an Umbrella"

brilliant.

[graceygrumble]

The weather forecast would be recorded in my house if it was like this every night!

Classic!

[Muslimah1987]

HAHAHA!

Legend!

[Changles]

paxman is the man

[warriorprince1010]

Paxman is the man.

[Ridwee]

He should present HIGNFY one time

[kisbie]

He's been asked to come on before. He replied by saying that he'd "rather smash his testicles between two bricks"!

[bowlby1990]

hahaa thats how the weather should be!

[thelightisahead]

Haha, good on Paxman!

[MrSoprano0125]

.....it's paxman. What do you expect?

[stillavril]

Nothing wrong with Paxman.

Thank goodness for someone with integrity.

Very few left.

[PurushaDesa]

"It's a veritable smorgasbord!"

[tosspot86]

god they should have him full time as weatherman least he tells it how it is, id actually look forward to watching it if he did it

[SalutationToTheDawn]

Lol! "It's April, what do you expect?" He just doesn't give a shit, does he? Classic!

[Intervene]

lol

[mancity1000]

Clarkson and Paxman are legends!!

[Nogli]

They are two people that everyone either loves or despises. I personally think they're amazing.

[mancity1000]

If I'll have a son I'm gonna name it Jeremy

[elliecoffey]

brilliant!

[spandexman77]

Paxman, what a legend!

[FreeInquisition]

Fucking funny

[eclectica1]

LOL...best weather forecasts I've seen in a while!!!!!

[rude1987]

most honest weather forecast

[118Tom]

Paxman, what a fucking legend!

[forestskog]

Fantastic! Way to go Paxman!

[madabbafan]

Well the weather report didn't last long on newsnight. It was the old theory of " If you don't want to do a job for long do it badly"

[someuser91]

dont marry lembik opick.... wtf

[trevster2905]

Sian Lloyd was married to Lembit Opik but he left her for one of the cheeky girls.

[Markbiceps]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SATULAL]

Hilarious! Paxman you bloody legend!

[patlfdunn101]

Bloody brilliant! I think him and Christopher Morris (Brasseye) need to get a program. It would be fucking insane!

[MoonstompingMike1985]

part of the reason why chris morris did brass eye and the day today was beacuse he despised jeremy paxman

[MoonstompingMike1985]

in any case its an awesome weather report!

[kisbie]

Morris didn't choose that voice because he had anything against Paxman. They have very similar voices anyway.

[dwalfrid]

This wasn't the same as brass eye- Chris Morris showed real balls before he had established himself- Paxman wouldn't have done this on his first week- he just knew he was untouchable so decided to be a prick.

[kisbie]

You can't really compare Morris with Paxman as he was never a genuine newsreader or journalist. And has never purported to be anything other than a comedian. He was only ever sacked when his practical jokes intruded upon the professionals' work - such as the helium business.

[kisbie]

Just to clarify, when I say Morris has never pretended to be anything other than a comedian, I mean from the viewers'/listeners' POV.

[whereismybailouttv]

"Feel the weather"?????

[paulmerton4pope]

"It's April...what do you expect?!"

Love every inch of Paxman. Another dream man of mine. =P

[feralferret]

I LOVE ENGLAND.

The sarcasm, irony, self deprecation, and the stoic, stiff-upper-lip professionalism of it all is still alive and well, and is what makes this country great.

[emlee2]

I salute you , sir!

[opethian23]

Haha. Paxman's great.

[RealRockNRollStar]

Paxman is a legend! End of Argument!

[Georgiahulse]

Have they got rid of the weather forecast on Newsnight now then? Paxman can say this sort of stuff because well, can you imagine him ever being sacked??

[andyg3]

rofl!

[mwwhahahahahaha]

absolute gold

[crazysteve3333]

"Advice on wearing wooly socks."

[sidensvans54]

Paxman for PM..great stuff!!

[bobzilla211]

It's April. What do you expect?

[TheBestPrevail]

I expect February and March to be as long as they usually are.

[TheBestPrevail]

You do realise that you're complimenting him by rferring to him as "underrated"?

[DannyJ77]

lol! so true!

[DAN13LS70NE]

What does he say between 0:45-0:48. Something about work? Thanks

Daniel

[Quizcos]

Almost worth going to work

[OrabelaSpirita]

"Almost worth going to work"

[sidensvans54]

Love it!!

[meSticks]

Heh, haven't watched Newsnight in some time... I assume they gave up on trying to make him do weather forecasts after this. :-D

[TheRealEmit]

take an umbrella with you tomorrow...

wish we had guys like this in the us

[KlaxonCow]

Yes, Paxman is brilliant because he simply tolerates no bullshit of any kind.

He never plays to the camera - if he's pissed off, then he happily shows it. If a politician is talking shit to him in an interview, he calls "bullshit" on them.

(He also presents the "University Challenge" quiz show and, if someone gives him a ridiculous answer, then he just humiliates them for being stupid.)

He's absolutely devoid of any kind of pretence whatsoever.

He's like an apathetic Howard Beale.

[tinyclaw]

On University Challenge, the embarrassing thing is that he often doesn't know what the answer really means, and he gets all superior and smug when trying to humiliate them for not giving what's on the card but is often the right answer. Either that, or if he doesn't understand the answer the students give him, he just assumes they are talking nonsense. Eg: Student: "...Ibn Batuta", Paxman: **frown/smirk "...whhhoooo?". Paxman is a prat.

[KlaxonCow]

Yeah, true enough.

I would say that he should perhaps learn a little more humility - but, then again, if he did that, then he'd not be half as hilarious as he so often is. :D

[nilbud]

So when the fuck was the answer on the card wrong in University Challenge or do you just specialise in invented scenarios? Wake up.

[tinyclaw]

Ok then, scenario 1: (shows a piece of music score in F) Paxman:"what key is this?", Student: "F". Paxman insists they say "F Major". When you refer to the key of F alone it IS major not minor. However, he's quite happy to award students incomplete answers as long as HE understands the answer on the card.

[keithslum]

It's... april. What do you expect?

[Christoffski]

I love Paxman.

[ChickenGoujons]

Paxman is hilarious. Love him.

[sidensvans54]

Paxman should be Prime minister

[warriorofwrestling]

Seconded

[dd7aa]

nice one

[nameherejony]

Made me laugh so hard, classic Paxman

[mrpossibilities]

LOL! Aw man. Paxman rules.

[FinalGamerJames]

God I love when he does the weather.

No nonsense about your high and low pressure and wind shears, if he's telling you that it's April, then it bloody well is April!

Paxman should have been on Room 101, most of real
