Fox 4 DFW Roast of Social Media

[saysaknow]

Truth is, these websites have made television next to obsolete. TV advertising effectiveness is at an all time low thanks to channels such as MTV and History Channel expanding their programming to a variety of demographics. Also, television reporters actually do use these websites and tools in and out of the office. Look at Weather Channel's stupid Social segment. On the internet's side, news is instant and you get to see multiple opinions. Here, things much less likely compromised by businesses

[benhd1]

And i thought fox sucked

well i still do but this was pretty awesome, something i'd expect from the onion actually, well done fox, well done.

[DarthBane123]

Fox news? WITH COMEDY?

its more likely than you think.

[Rosarium2007]

At 2:20 there is a mention of James' iPhone being the "new 4s" and this was filmed in October 2010, yet the iPhone 4s was not announced until this October and was just released two days ago.

[qstyk]

That was awesome!

[JokerRocks2009]

The fuck?

[IMProductsReviewed1]

Hey #UN#,

This was a pretty cool vid.

[bazoo42]

Epic!

[mcarritt]

@HillbillyKate

i thought the geocities jab was really funny

[rdhuffman2007]

This one might go viral!!!!

[hcortens]

@rdhuffman2007 nope.

[youthfairy]

hahaha!!! toooo funny!!!!!

[BlinkinCard41]

I saw SlapDaddy live once. They were actually pretty good. The lead singer sounds a lot like Steve Perry.

[alpop850]

wtf. this is sooo the onion

[gulbuththerampant]

Regarding the Geocities mention... It seems fairly obvious it was put in there as a joke.

[chayanyc]

Love it :-D

[PublicEnemyFrog]

...this is absolutely amazing! Hilarium!

[TheNight12100]

"I'll be updating my status to"scared shitless" lol

[highlandgirl]

@HillbillyKate totally agree. I thought this was funny and hit it head on....until that. It went from win to fail in one logo.

[sonnyred5050]

FUX News 3

[Jiburley]

lol, by singing telegram?

[roooooowena]

This is hilarious! Get a sense of humor people, quit being so analytical n take it for what it is haha!

[docilewalnut]

38 people got bored and started tweeting instead.

[lifepro44]

Hilarious!

[Namnarooni]

This is the ignorance of the left wing mind... Simply because it says "Fox" they automatically tune it out and hate it, probably not having watched it all the way through. Never mind that this is a local Fox Network channel, and not the cable channel Fox News... These are 2 separate entities... I'd bet if this were Olberman and the Bull Dike, they'd be praising and laughing at it for days...

[ExKon3]

I like how skype doesn't have teh ability to video konference on iPhone

[PentiumPete]

Brilliant!

[scoopnupe]

Okay this is good!

I luv it

[CaptElaine]

Funny and clever...

[owldesk]

this is great! Love it! 

[toresbe]

Pretty funny, but I have a feeling that FOX news, even if it is a local affiliate, is kind-of throwing rocks in a greenhouse here...

[Rydal1]

typical fox

[nadinegr]

LOL... Bart Schimmel is in Dutch: Bart Mould...

[Jesse11spykid]

1:24 "...really think you're gonna DIGG it"

Yeah, I hope alot of us forgot Digg it,,,

[gulbuththerampant]

Yes, sugalmighty, we SHOULD leave the comedy to you young, educated people. After all, given your massive level of unemployment you should have plenty of time to hone your comedy skills. I look forward to your latest posting of hilarity.

[sugalmighty]

hmm super lame "roast" of social media uploaded to youtube... brilliant. anyone either ignorant or confused enough to work for fox has got to be about as tuned-in to social media as a pair of old boots. my money says these idiots probably had no idea what they were talking about... leave the comedy to the young educated people you're afraid of :P

[gulbuththerampant]

Well, poeg 123, you're certainly the smartest, most discerning person here. We're all lucky to be in your presence because ust maybe your brilliance will rub off on us all. Thank you.

[ancalime111]

I would watch news if they would look like this xD

[spiritnexus999]

That is hilarious...

[otherwisesaid]

Owned!

[metalmakker]

There is fun in there. Could have been done better though!

[rg0057]

My local station (not Fox 4 DFW) used to broadcast weather radar on one of their secondary digital channels, but they took that away in favor of some crap that I have to go buy another device to receive. F that, my friends.

[vladamirrrr]

great clip, but why skype?? skype rules!

[poega123]

Had to stop this halfway cus it was so incredibly fucking boring. It's sad but I can only think of one place where this would actually be seen as the work of non-retarded people: Fox News America.

[ohedd]

HAhaha "I'll be updating my status to 'scared shitless'" ahhaha

[ImNotABeliever]

... singing telegram?

[xWikarN]

Wow, this shit is fucking boring. Worst sense of humour I've ever seen. I feel sorry for those who laughed.

And I'm not even trying to protect social media. Wow... are all americans this boring?

[Mayokitty7]

@xWikarN Essentially, yes. You have to look real hard to find something funny in America.

On the other hand, considereing the staunch seriousness of anything news-related here, it's a damned shock that they actually managed to do this.

[TalkByTess]

~ Brilliant!

[ThirdClassCitizen]

I'm glad that fox news finally decided to come out of the closet, to be accepted as the fake news organization it is; and embraced its role as a parody clown entertainment program.

[GeneralThieu]

@ThirdClassCitizen - Its a local affiliate. Not the national news station that you are thinking of.

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

@ThirdClassCitizen Ha ha, if only! They actually think they're being clever with this...

It's like a self-unaware parody.

[Catconvention]

@ThirdClassCitizen fox news is totally different from a local fox newtwork news channel.

[Catconvention]

@ThirdClassCitizen @ThirdClassCitizen fox news is totally different from a local fox newtwork news channel.

[amarcos718]

[stophthecomputerwiz]

Lol

[mrmrstlbeebe]

Fox News is the closes to the Real News and the Truth,only a Progressive Socialist would argue against that !

[ABUS35]

de qui se moque t'on ?

[ABUS35]

la traduction des commentaires(sur la chaine, par you tube) de l'anglais en francais est vraiment du n'importe quoi....

[ABUS35]

@ABUS35 putain la preuve le message écrit nil ya 45 MN n'a rien a voir....

[jizzcats]

GeoCities. Aww. I wanted to be all "HAHA LOL KILLED IT", but it's cute. GeoCities is dead sexy American news channel peeps :)

[glstudios]

"Updating my Facebook status to 'Scared Shitless.'" Ahahahahahaha....

[rolyatecnal]

Updating my FB status to "Scared Shitless" -- #priceless

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

@rolyatecnal Best part of the whole video. It's my local station, but I didn't catch that live on TV.

Updating my FB status to "Scared Shitless" = ROFLMAO

[Gwenlj]

LOL

[alecjahn]

The actual myspace page at /slapdaddy is pretty fucked-up.

[justonefirefly1]

Rupert murdoch is a terrorist Fox spews is a propoganda corporation = terrorist anti american = should be hung up by his little tine wrinkled unamerican balls.

[justjohn025]

Geocities lol

[blqwarrior]

It's so cool to see a news station not take themselves so serious!

[felipkiller]

parody?

[MsWanderer1]

MSNBC has this beat with their actual news broadcast! :-)

[MichaelJKnorr]

This totally bashes Social Media but it's so funny. XD 

[MichaelJKnorr]

This totally bashes Social Media but it's so funny. XD

[facecrooks]

Loved it!

[lovealwaysliana]

geocities was just taking it too far...

[qaqnvideo]

Did this air or was it just released to the web?

[kylian272]

@qaqnvideo it did air many complaints

[eprussakov]

Too funny! Great video.

[RayvinNyte]

hehe I love it!

[CouchSurfingOri]

BRILLIANT!

[XiaoFury]

XD! Too many networking sites! I think I need to go unsubscribe from the few I have.

[philena30]

HAHAHAHA!!!! Another reason to cut down my social networking a little???

[JungleNYC]

Essentially an ad for the iPhone app… and a fabulous one at that. Bravo!!!

[CHWPOPE]

[GonzoMiszcz]

Tru 8]

[akvarama]

This will be hilarious in ten years' time!

[akvarama]

This will be hilarious in ten years' time!

[theloniousMac]

This so accurately sums up the zeitgeist.

[ElGeorgeccs]

CDLR XD

[euniique]

l-m-a-o

[firstodd]

lol geocities

[wjohnson6295]

I was on board until the "Skype from iPhone 4s" bit. 

[easybreezy1]

This is hilariously true of the world we live in today! Too funny!

[dockdrumming]

Geocities! Too funny.

[oomung]

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

[proceedapathy]

SlapDaddy LOLS

[hufnmouth]

LOL 2:35

[BrokenBjartur]

Singing telegram? Lol.

..

This was just hilarious. My day just got a little bit better.. Oh! Forgot to tweet that..

[trisooner]

Absolute brilliance. Great satire, Fox 4.

[onemorebrowser38]

It was really quiet ... Everyone was running from the building typing out their screams on Twitter.

[MrDetwaa]

I don't get it. It looks real, they used the Fox logo and everything. Can't be like the onion?????

[captainmoonrock]

@MrDetwaa it is a real Fox station in Dallas. The video is a joke by the news team there.

[TikiTubeable]

ROFL.

[cnethers]

Greatness!

[algates1]

Actually it's so funny, it's scary. Is this what we are becoming?

[NeoMikey]

Major fail like usual from Fox News, getting their facts wrong. Geocities has been dead for awhile!

...seriously, though, this vid did make me chuckle ;)

[oneeyedgeek]

What's the big deal? This is typical Fox news. LOL

[Emilae1985]

"I will be changing my facebook status to scared shitless." ROFLMAO

[gulbuththerampant]

I love it when people like Liface slam mainstream media and swear they never follow it. What they don't realize is that the vast majority of news and information that's disseminated by bloggers, tweeters etc. comes from traditional print and electronic media. Anybody who actually relies solely on non-traditional media sources for information is as connected to the world as a Chilean miner.

[tuber123asd]

Stupid and unfunny, but what could one expect from the local news anyway? These are the same minds that deliver to the unwashed masses the latest tales of rape, burning houses, and robbery. All of which, by the way, are extremely important to hear about on a daily basis.

[omgyd17]

@tuber123asd you're an idiot, this is hilarious.

[tuber123asd]

@omgyd17 You think this is hilarious and I'm the idiot? I bet you like American Idol and dancing with the stars too. Please shut the fuck up, you fucking mongloid.

[omgyd17]

@tuber123asd actually quite the opposite, I hate those shows and can't stand the media. This is to make light of the over exposure that runs rampant in our media, which is actually very well acted and extremely accurate. Nice creed riffs on your page too you FUCKING TOOL.

[tuber123asd]

@omgyd17 I can't believe you're actually looking through my page. Have you nothing better to do with your time? I know what the fuck its intended to poke fun of you dolt, it just isn't funny if you have a functioning brain. It's low brow humor for low brow people. Congratulations on being another dumb asshole. Finally, the creed riffs in my page make fun of creed , idiot.

[omgyd17]

Wow are you still going on about this lady? Give it a break, I didn't think a sophisticate like you argues like a teenage girl. If you look at a lot of comments on this page you see how people enjoyed this, maybe you feel left out because no one follows your twitter.

[lreasonover]

@tuber123asd - I bet you friend thinks your a lot of fun. Do you have one? If so, must be saint or your mom.

[inrii]

Oh dang, they raised the dead. Geocities!

[Liface]

This is awesome. Exactly why I don't follow mainstream media. It's such a pile of shit.

[damancurry]

I love it!! lol Of course the liberal lefties don't like it or even get the joke!! But, greatness!!

[MrMuddToYou]

@damancurry Why do you say "liberal lefties" wouldn't get this or like it? How is anything in this video even remotely related to left or right ideology?

[RoundRockChiropracto]

made me laugh, good job!!

[SuperWonderWhy]

That how American ppl joke? I bet them joke with the real things like this eveyday.

[jerryfuselier]

@SuperWonderWhy Nice English.

[SuperWonderWhy]

@jerryfuselier

Thank you :-P 

[TheRealHollieB]

I don't think it's a funny thing to joke about.

[eternalxile]

@TheRealHollieB

They're not joking about a shooting or a hostage situation, they're joking about the absurdity of major news networks relying heavily on social media as a means of reporting a story.

[kirstenbinkley1]

Hilarious...especially if you've worked in news...

[snewman7118]

must reTweet

[kefluv]

"I'll be updating my Facebook status to 'Scared Shitless'..." BEST. LINE. EVER.

[pinstripedcats]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[s3riousTUBES]

GeoCities

[bauglircr]

This is a stroke of genius! Absolutely hilarious, but at the same time (sadly) not too far from reality...

I can follow the story in Yahoo! Geocities?? that one got me ROFL

[kblademan]

Love it !! LMAO

[lcrh1969]

Hilarious video! I'm tweeting about it right now... (kidding).

[DOHC2L]

Someone should tell Clarice Tinsley it's improper to speak of oneself in the third person. "I'm Clarice Tinsley," not "This is Clarice Tinsley." Why do journalists make this mistake so often?

[NobodobodoN]

@DOHC2L: Put "Stephen Fry Language" in the search bar up above for the answer to this and all your other language use questions.

[DOHC2L]

@NobodobodoN I don't agree with Stephen Fry. If you look at the comments for a recent Stephen Fry topology video you'll see me arguing against him. He argues that grammar isn't as important as meaning which is completely ridiculous.

[MooseOfReason]

This is a parody of CNN, right?

[DallasHammster]

@MooseOfReason No, these are real channel 4 news personalities here in Dallas. They are actually making fun of internet social networking sites.

[MooseOfReason]

@DallasHammster I know they're real, but are they making fun of CNN's over-use of social networking during broadcasts?

[minnaow]

Really funny, I didn't know Fox 4 had such a great sense of humor.

[ihatejohn06]

Great video!

[Albatella]

Sadly... very true to life...

[garfalk]

this is almost as good as the onion.

[Jigs1girl]

"I'll be updating my Facebook status to scared shitless"

[Furiouss06]

that was good!

[SirDrJones]

Please tell me this isn't legit...

[TEKITOcreations]

@SirDrJones It's a parody of news media today rely so much on social media.

[czarblip]

Wait, is this a roast or the actual news now? Sadly accurate.

[tvcurt]

Awesome Geocities reference. What a throw back! Cool video. I blogged about it on my site at curtonline [dot] com

[anitab79]

i just got retweeted... sweet. :)

[JustinsWaitingRoom]

i thought i was watching CNN.

[4d4mdotnet]

GEOCITIES LLLLOOOOLLLLLZZZZ

[cookiesonsteve]

What I'm worried about is this actually happening one day.

[Tititias]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is Hi-LARIOUS. Well done Fox Channel 4 out of DFW! Well done!

[offbook]

We tweet the news today, oh boy....

[joebroadbent]

This is amazing, the 5 people who don't like are known as humorless

[zumbarachelle]

Talk about social media overkill!!!!! hilarious!!!

[WHATTYEAHH]

The only video I'll favorite from fox news.

[LgFaver]

@WHATTYEAHH it's actually not fox news, it's a dallas local fox affiliate, not quite the same thing. Fox news is eveil as shit.

[jjmajik]

@WHATTYEAHH
