Insane News Man

[MrBalanceBlade5600]

He forgot to put a semicolon. if he can't even say anything right, then WHO HIRED THIS NUTJOB!?

[veevee247]

Just goes to show what one comma or semicolon can do

[waltermcbobom]

hilarious

[jackalope901]

That's insane news, man.

[alastairmctavish]

Real bad timing on that one...

[xxcrysad3000xx]

Video should really be trimmed at :10

[MrProfessorQ]

It's called a teleprompter fail.

[HeavyTrolling]

720 people were murdered and set on fire while celebrateing their birthdays.

[make739]

maybe he killed him lol

[HeavyTrolling]

this is the main talk where I am.

[brettmarkusic]

happy birthday Dana

[foxdieFE]

WAT.

[cruesome1971]

Stay classy, San Jose.



[nardpuncher]

Well good thing they gave Dana the night of then, what with him being murdered and set on fire.

[1URBANMOLE]

@nardpuncher Hilarious!!! What a way to die!!!

[SpiderWaffle]

What does the body of Jimmy Frezghi have to do with his co-worker, Dana, being murdered and set on fire, while celebrating his birthday?

[j4mi3Fiz]

@SpiderWaffle Jimmy Frezghi was the one who was murdered and set on fire.

[roflmfao619]

press 1 repeatedly and fast

[j4mi3Fiz]

im pretty sure he was supposed to pause after saying his co-anchor wasnt supposed to be here

[DIRTYSOUTHRAINBOW]

crying laughing

[TrueKaos1991]

Dear Dana, heard you were murdered. Get well soon.

[narkinfutz]

I guess we know who the number 1 suspect is.

[frankeprater]

guy has to get murdered and set on fire on his birthday JUST to get the day off! Damn shame..

[benjifoz98]

Wtf?!?

[megokego]

This is why we have pauses while talking.

[crshr29]

"dana is off tonight, he was murdered and then set of fire while celebrating his birthday.."

so confusing..

[CamOTastic1]

wow.. I'd take the day off too if I was a guy and had been named Dana... not to mention murdered..

[goat2727]

I heard he pee'd on the dead body

[tornoofo17]

Pause all you want, it wouldn't have helped.

[peaceoutrawkon]

Hands down, funniest video on youtube. I cried SO hard at this.

[GamesCanBeArt]

This man is my hero.

[dandelionlion]

Should have been: "Dana is off today. (pause). He was set of fire and murdered on his birthday, the body of.... But, that sounds weird to me too. It should REALLY be "Dana is off today. (pause). The body of (name) was found today. It appeared as though his had been set on fire and murdered, on his birthday no less.

IF he had a co-anchor, he could have turned to them and said "That's not something that I would want for my birthday, how about you?"

[miyor123]

THE TOP TWO COMMENTS ARE THE SAME? WTF YOUTUBE? WHY WOULD YOU

[BombDiggity1717]

DANA, NOOOOO!

[ShAdOw116789]

cant believe this man has beena news anchor since 1990. just wikipedia his name, you'l lsee.

[ShAdOw116789]

Tisch Way!

[RatePage]

what the fuck?  this was an ordinary news report? what does it mean, "insane news man"???

[xheartsliesfriendsx]

@RatePage What was unusual about it was that there was no pause between "Dana is off tonight" and the news story. He was filling in for somebody. He made it seem as if Dana was killed instead of the black man.

[RatePage]

@xheartsliesfriendsx ohh ok

[RatePage]

@xheartsliesfriendsx wait, but he said, "HIS birthday" was he talking about the black guy?

[rpovlik]

if i was the reporter here, i would have busted out laughing so fucking hard and probably pissed my pants

[Earthmoover]

I like how he reads about the murder and he gets serious, then see's the word birthday and makes it sound happy... Not sure if want.... birthday? WANT!

[btbrotherton]

And yea, it's the opposite, because of this people will never forget him, but his death will always be remembered as hilarious.

[btbrotherton]

I'm Ron Burgundy?

[911violentagro]

it's the dumbass people who typed the words in that suck. But i think whats even more stupid is that the reporter just carelessly read the teleprompter without thinking about what he was saying.

[lol123lol23lol123]

RIP Jimmy Frezghi, everyone forgot about him because of this

[jojo270003]

@lol123lol23lol123 nahh. i'm sure he's got people who will never forget him. =)

[gummyboots]

@lol123lol23lol123 yeah that actually is pretty sad.

[ACletthereberockDC]

looks like Dana's birthday turned into his funeral.

[zebanon5]

Oh, it makes sense now.

[evanstoler]

The clip needs to stop at 0:09 before the photo comes up, otherwise it's not going to look like a blooper where he's talking about Dana.

[Colt2571]

@evanstoler exactly...uploader fail

[TheBurgooKing]

he's really saying hi im ken whatever, dana is off tonight......He was murderd and set on fire. He just didnt pause at all

[jonners52]

dana used to be a news anchor, but then he took an arrow to the knee. then murdered and set on fire.

[madguy457]

Periods can do wonders.

[LyleVertigo]

It is called professionalism, learn it.

[packerfan748]

dont they teach you to pause in news school

[mockingbird187]

Wow... Friends of Dana probably found that pause before mentioning Frezghi's name to be the longest of their lives.

[greensucksbluerules]

@mockingbird187 Dana was a woman, so I doubt they were worried about her being murdered.

[mockingbird187]

@greensucksbluerules Was a woman? So what happened? Sex-change or was she also murdered and set on fire... you know, just as a special birthday treat?

[greensucksbluerules]

@mockingbird187 Dana, the co-anchor, IS a woman. So when her friends heard that HE was murdered, they knew the newscaster wasn't talking about Dana. Besides, the murder was probably being discussed before this happened.

[mockingbird187]

@greensucksbluerules Are you German? Because my girlfriend is German and, though I lover her to death, her sense of humor seems right on par with yours. You know... absent. I was being fatuous... just having fun with the whole thing. I encourage you to play fact-police with some videos that relate to history/theory/politics and let people have fun with the hypotheticals of a 16 second clip called "Insane News Man."

[greensucksbluerules]

@mockingbird187 I found humor in this video, not in your comment. It seemed more like commentary than a joke.

[mockingbird187]

@greensucksbluerules Not joke... fatuous... silly, pointless... Monty-fucking-Python bullshit... upon which no one follows up. Guess you'd have to be British... which I'm not.

[greensucksbluerules]

@mockingbird187 Ironically, I've been getting into arguments with British users over who won the War of 1812.

[mockingbird187]

@greensucksbluerules See... now THAT'S funny! Haha!

[BanalBoxberry]

@greensucksbluerules War of 1812 is a normal case for America. They lose the war, yet the other side didn't win. There's a trend.

[greensucksbluerules]

@BanalBoxberry I thought North Vietnam accomplished their objective.

[BanalBoxberry]

@greensucksbluerules America saw there was no point carrying on, so they left the war. So technically, only the Vietnamese won <:

I was joking anyway, I'm a Brit, and we're allies, as long as each country is safe, who cares who wins.

[greensucksbluerules]

@BanalBoxberry I agree, but there's some people who get too nationalistic and fight over wars that didn't have a clear winner. =/

[tomthefunky]

@greensucksbluerules: The U.S. won the war. Andrew Jackson defeated the British at the Battle Of New Orleans. However, the Peace Treaty was already signed in England but the news hadn't reached the States yet.

Funnily enough, while watching this video about a news anchor flub and a brutal murder, I was thinking to myself "I sure would like to get into an internet conversation in this comment section about the War Of 1812". And whaddya know!!

[greensucksbluerules]

@tomthefunky Of course the US won.

[DyerDrums]

Theeeeee Fuck!

[invencible33]

and now... is his birthday death... alll in one (Y)

[xVerdictsx]

lol

[AlienFoundry3]

holy shit

[21212nicky]

leave ur comments for the depressed newscaster here

[Hajeh22]

The Hangover 3, what a crazy birthday.

[sucklingfatty]

never gets old

[G0ttaBeFresh]

Murdered set on fire while celebrating his birthday? I would hope he got the day off lol!

[skeletontea]

he's off tonight?.....so he'll be back.....tomorrow?

[fuck1929]

This is great XD I know a guy named Dana,I hate that bastard >:(

[heyitismyusername]

Someone forgot to put a period on the teleprompter...

[prodprod]

Take a breath and pause between thoughts there, man. First thought -- guy's off for the night. Second thought -- some *other guy* got set on fire on his birthday.

[TheTurbanTV]

I don't get it, someone explain

[existinghumanmale]

@TheTurbanTV It is one big run on sentence. Dana is off tonight, he (Dana) was murdered and set on fire.

[f123raptor]

hahahaha



[Christopsy616]

God...I feel so horrible....I CAN'T stop laughing. Such tragic events.

[jrbooth31977]

Remind me not to take a day off.

[snipesnrifles]

Ken Bastida went to my highschool....

[sengoku17]

The killer is in this video

[jtrebel32]

[whoiswhobutwho]

This is why we need punctuation, children.

[TheGodzillaGodzilla]

Dana is a woman. She was not murdered.

[nowwithmorekick]

Jesus Christ.

[sfyc]

The importance of punctuation.

[urusai01]

"Oh, yeah, he's off tonight because he was murdered brutally. No big deal."

[FGN123]

Feels like a bit of an "and I'm Ron Burgundy, go f**k yourself San Diego" moment.

[gezeo750]

@FGN123 yeah that's what I was thinking as well. But that just means he's just as stupid for reading anything that's in front of him.

[WhoaBroLowBlow]

That awkward moment when a video gets 2,000,000 and then it turns out to be a lie.

[BlueCosmology]

@bookworm2394 Wow, do you honestly think not everyone else managed to figure that out?

[theautomaster]

Badly written news script.

Should start the sentence with "A Man"....so there is confusion with Dana. He needs to pause as well.

[yyttroll]

DANA IS A GIRL, MORONS!

[southsidesman]

I want to joke about this but am halted by man who died. It is funny but only in strict context.

[Irishfreedom]

Ooooohh, now I get it.

[LetsRideRulz]

*No co-workers were harmed in the making of this news brodcast.... Except for Dana, who was murdered and set on fire and is now recovering in bed at home*

[kristinj1981]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[srbdirector]

It is his delivery of two unrelated sentences. Dana wasn't murdered. The copy of the lead story after saying that Dana was off tonight begins "He was..." The newscaster is now talking about the guy whose pictures soon is showing not his co-anchor.

[CanadianPolybius]

@srbdirector

Thats the joke :P

It sounded that way because he failed in his delivery

[marehtseira]

@srbdirector if he would have just said, "Tonight's, top story", then this whole thing could have not been unintentionally hilarious

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

well thats gonna be awkward the next time he sees his cohost. Poor jimmy didnt ask for this.

[esopbelac94]

*facepalm* His co-anchor wasn't killed. What he said was...

"Dana is off tonight." (Immediately begins reading teleprompter) "He was murdered and then set on fire while celebrating his birthday. The body of Jimmy Frezghi was found by firefighters on Monroe St. and Tish Way in San Jose."

This is a very common way to start a news story. By stating what happened first and then to who and where.

[Majikn]

@esopbelac94 It's just that the particular way that he did it is quite amusing.

[gnamp]

What a heartless Bastida.

[bigfloridapimp]

How does this even have 1 thumbs down? I mean sure he could have cut right before the picture and made it more hilarious but still.

[ItsCamaroKarSon]

lol dana is a girly name

[x0Demyx0x]

@ItsCamaroKarSon Dana is a girl.

[hollowman113]

hes prob the murder in this case...

its cold danm it ccanadadadadadaadadad

[acceptthis01]

Worst birthday ever.

[Yamsofdoom]

Ken Bastida is obviously a robot who was built to read whatever is in front of him. No emotional chip required.

[eyallev]

@Yamsofdoom why should he get emotional? murders and deaths happen all the time, so a kid was killed, do you want news anchors that break down in tears on every news item?

(wonders if I should leave this comment as this rather plain troll bait, or also point out that Dana, the co-worker that's not there, was not murdered ....)

[SteelCity1981]

damn do they have the highlander working for them to be murderd and set on fire, but would be back tomm. lol

[LugerCreations]

poor jimmy frezghi. his brutal death will always be laughed at because of this anchor's goof

[0voZ]

the guy read or skip a few words lol XD

[skyemcleod1]

Wow! How Cold!!!

[ebqz]

teleprompters are awesome ^^

[Elyzater]

Boy , if he talks like that I wonder if he punctuates what he writes. There should have been a pause ( or a full stop in the teleprompter) between Dana is off and He was murdered.

[Barmyandlight]

"I murdered Dana and set him on fire so I could have his job... also, I'm a psychopath and that's why I'm so calm about it." =P ;-)

[midknightbluez]

Poor Dana... that's pretty fucked up. Murdered AND set on fire...?

[Kan2209]

Too bad for the guy who actually was murdered, his 15 min of fame outshun by a stupid reporter man who gets to be on tv every day.

Did anyone actually take a few seconds to feel bad for the guy? Me neither, unfortunately.

[damonepatterson]

Way too calm. 

[tacospartan]

Haha I can't remember the last time someone was given the day off for being murdered

[pnutbutrncrackers]

This video would be better if it ended at 0:09.

[narcomanel]

@pnutbutrncrackers not really, it sucks when it ends too fast.

[Holidayruin]

Oh, I feel bad for the Jimmy Frezghi kid, more than two and a half million people are laughing at his death.

[arcaniondeath666]

nice

[randykiyoshirandy]

lol Dana is not murdered. There was no pause between that and the actual reporting story.

[Omgberto]

Can these people not read and think at the same time?

[baseballgirl25]

I hate it when getting set on fire makes me miss work.

[killerscigars]

Wait wait.... so just because he read te prompter wrong... anyone could make this mistake...

[killerscigars]

I don't get this.... what's so "insane" about it?

[ThePhil909]

jes some americans r pathetic (im a kiwi)

[metalwaffle94]

lol he skipped like 2 lines on the teleprompter

[1hellaMoFo]

i think who ever killed dana,killed that jimmy guy.thier deaths were too similiar.

[shannonlinnettecurry]

are you people stupid? dana is a woman, he didnt read the prompter righ, the guy killed was a jimmy. HELLO?!

[Skateronastick]

@shannonlinnettecurry obviously, but that's what's funny.....

[quasarvega]

5000 th like :D do i get a cookie?

[KOSMOS390]

poor dana...... lol but can you imagine the reaction of her family to hear that? XD

[TheyCallM3]

omfg this is too perfect xD

[dstaplet01]

So much for a "smooth" segue....

[Dae19832454]

wow

[fluffet]

his voice is so clam, its disturbing

[siglerproductions]

I think he's the murderer (joking, it's just he's so calm about it and so happy)

[Drunkendunker]

Didn't family guy do a spoof of this with Tom Tucker and Diane?

[AntDX316]

hahaha

[Rasta19856]

WTF!!! xDD

[Nicefailbro]

Everyone clap for Beerbonghead, he got the joke!

[NoMos09]

Does anyone else notice that Dana is off but they found Jimmy's body? :P

[DatMexicano57]

Dana made 697 accounts on YouTube.

[Beerbonghead]

Hey dumbasses he isn't talking about his co anchor....he just went in to the next story wrong....he said "Dana" is off....Then the very next story is the guy who was set on fire his name is "Jimmy" ...Idiots

[thejesman]

@Beerbonghead Thank you sir, that was the joke.

[steeleX42]

@Beerbonghead look at all these fucks im giving

[wvargas41]

Wow 4real?

[theehumanshield]

he probably murdered the co-anchor

[xdharokbarrowsx]

Dana has some crazy birthdays huh?

[4wheelredrider]

so com

[VagrantVideoViewer]

Go fuck yourself San Diego!

[Khoutekkelly]

He will read anything you put on the teleprompter

[XSunacX]
