Video: When nature calls

posted at 5:35 pm on November 21, 2007 by Allahpundit

Fatigued, disaffected, abandoned by our readers on Thanksgiving eve, the big A makes the only move he can: straight into the sewer. (Almost literally!)

Legend has it that if you turn the volume way up and listen closely, you may hear the sweet sounds of relief at 1:26.

Boy Allah, you really know how to pick the right video for the night before Thanksgiving. :-)

And yes, I heard the sigh of relief. Ewwww.

amerpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:41 PM

He couldn’t help it.. he stuck his hand in the precipitation.

I did hear a “Ahhh” at the very end. Nothing like doing a “Roseanne Barr” on television though. Maybe he’s a former baseball player.

OK, I’ll guess…

Does that sportscaster see more balls on or off the field?

trubble on November 21, 2007 at 5:42 PM

Any plans for Thanksgiving, AP? Got family in the big apple?

Best Pee Pee Dance Evah!

Huh?

Theworldisnotenough on November 21, 2007 at 5:43 PM

Let’s pile on, Allah. This and the shot dog call for a bonus replay of the Norweigian newsreader and her sudden monthly hurl.

Kini on November 21, 2007 at 5:43 PM

The video’s title calls it something else. Not sure which and, frankly, have no desire to know. :-)

amerpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

I love how Brick and Champ just pretend nothing just happened.

Drunkenness!

Drunkenness!

Allahpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

Gotta be more than that! Want me to get a turducken overnighted to ya? Gotta celebrate, man.

lorien1973 on November 21, 2007 at 5:47 PM

I’m reminded from a line from Oh Brother Where art thou.

Sweet sweet summer rain.

lorien1973 on November 21, 2007 at 5:50 PM

Arent you supposed to raise your hand and ask permission before you go?

Anyway, stay frosty Allah. You da man.

Always Right on November 21, 2007 at 5:51 PM

I wonder if he used the Seinfeld defense: “I could get uromycetisis poisoning and die!”

tikvah on November 21, 2007 at 5:56 PM

Can’t think ahead?

DEPENDS are made for you! LOL

allrsn on November 21, 2007 at 5:58 PM

I’m not sure which end the storm system is coming from…

JetBoy on November 21, 2007 at 5:59 PM

That made my belly hurt AP.

Griz on November 21, 2007 at 6:00 PM

Allahpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

Me too! My roommates are going home, and I have to stay and study. But I’ll probably just drink by myself!

Also, as a chronic sufferer of having to take a grumpy at the most inopportune times, I sincerely feel for this guy.

WillBarrett on November 21, 2007 at 6:09 PM

Gee….just think…his next job will be at Taco Bell serving you Bell Grandes!

Mel Gibson territory?

Attila (Pillage Idiot) on November 21, 2007 at 6:16 PM

By the way, the best part of the clip was when he ran through the doorway behind the two other announcers.

Attila (Pillage Idiot) on November 21, 2007 at 6:18 PM

Mel Gibson territory?

heh…maybe David Hasselhoff even.

JetBoy on November 21, 2007 at 6:19 PM

We are not alone. There is always Jack and Jim and their cousins to keep us company.

infidel on November 21, 2007 at 6:19 PM

Allahpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

I second lorien’s suggestion. You can drink more on a full stomach :-)

steveegg on November 21, 2007 at 6:29 PM

God gave everyone a fixed amount of booze in their lifetime and I drank all mine. : ( As for the weather man geeze he can’t even forecast a drizzle!

sonnyspats1 on November 21, 2007 at 6:31 PM

Must have been quite a case of the cramps. Poor guy.

Had that happen to me in the middle of a presentation one time. Turned white as a sheet and had to call for a 10 minute break. Of course, everyone there knew the real reason.

AP – Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll be having a few cold ones tonight in your honor.

BacaDog on November 21, 2007 at 6:33 PM

Fatigued, disaffected, abandoned by our readers on Thanksgiving eve

Aw, I’m still here. Tomorrow’s just another working day here in Canada.

Frozen Tex on November 21, 2007 at 6:38 PM

Yep. Sounds like he forgot to turn off his mic, or someone in the control room did.

I definitely heard the unclamping grunt of satisfying relief.

LoL

SilverStar830 on November 21, 2007 at 6:47 PM

Allah,

I’m sucking down a Newcastle with your name on it. Right.Now. It’s the holiday.

All y’all: I have developed a recipe for Pecan Pie with chocolate chips that I believe is worthy, and will be happy to throw it out there upon request.

Lastly, I will give thanks for HotAir at some point tomorrow.

Jaibones on November 21, 2007 at 6:47 PM

All y’all: I have developed a recipe for Pecan Pie with chocolate chips

That’s called Kentucky Derby Pie.

peacenprosperity on November 21, 2007 at 6:53 PM

I’ve seen those spasms before. Definitely Typhobus of the Blowholes.

PatrickS on November 21, 2007 at 6:54 PM

You call it what you want, but I made it up, and I call it Pecan Pie with Chocolate Chips. Besides, Kentucky Derby is a specific recipe, and this ain’t it.

Jaibones on November 21, 2007 at 6:58 PM

You call it what you want, but I made it up

Sorry, Dude, but I made it in a restaurant I worked in years ago. It was the same as our pecan pie but with chocolate chips. I guess you’ll have to make your millions some other way.

peacenprosperity on November 21, 2007 at 7:06 PM

Does that sportscaster see more balls on or off the field?

LMAO….

The Ugly American on November 21, 2007 at 7:19 PM

Best part……when you see him bolt thru that doorway in the background.

The Ugly American on November 21, 2007 at 7:20 PM

Legend has it that if you turn the volume way up and listen closely, you may hear the sweet sounds of relief at 1:26.

I’m still laughing! Poor guy.

Any plans for Thanksgiving, AP?
Drunkenness!

Allahpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

Well, there ought to be some pretty wild postings tomorrow! Allow me to say Happy Thanksgiving to you while you can still read!

Zorro on November 21, 2007 at 7:24 PM

…abandoned by our readers on Thanksgiving eve…

Not too many readers here at the moment but you’ve had nearly a 1,100,000 visits this week. Not bad at all.

Zorro on November 21, 2007 at 7:29 PM

Jaibones on November 21, 2007 at 6:58 PM

I worked in a restaurant that made one like that too.. with walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips and rum.

I just made one this week.. minus the rum.. It was awesome.

Make it if you want Jailbones.. I’ll swear you were the inventor… till some lady on allrecipes.com says her great great great great great great grandmother made one for Jesus personally and she still has the original recipe on papyrus.

GoodBoy on November 21, 2007 at 7:58 PM

Allahpundit on November 21, 2007 at 5:45 PM

Have a tall frosty for me. And I’ll do the same.

Lawrence on November 21, 2007 at 9:00 PM

I didn’t read what you wrote befoe I watched it… and I swear I thought the same thing, open mic! but I have not laughed like that in a while… thanks.

Kaptain Amerika on November 21, 2007 at 9:38 PM

I used to be a weatherman back in the day… I always tried to be mindful to turn off the wireless lest it lead to an embarrassing moment. I feel sorry for him. Hopefully he’ll be able to laugh at himself! Who knows these days, he may become famous like Miss South Carolina or whatever state she was from.

Driving to Lubbock first thing in the morning, maybe with some snow! Happy Thanksgiving AP and all :-)

Ordinary1 on November 21, 2007 at 9:49 PM

See the guy run in the background when the two anchors take over.
Man, that guys job is gone. Doesn’t that just piss you off?

right2bright on November 21, 2007 at 10:07 PM

I do not. How dare you? ;-)

Me too, sonny. Designated driver available for hire.

I don’t get it? Something about movement of a high pressure front?

Does that sportscaster see more balls on or off the field?

trubble on November 21, 2007 at 5:42 PM

Oh Sthop! Haha, you beat me to it. Can you imagine him when he’s in the locker rooms for interviews?

right2bright on November 21, 2007 at 10:07 PM

Dude, when he ran by in the background was the absolute funniest part! But I doubt his job is gone. Unless whoever makes that decision has never had explosive diarrhea himself, that would be evil to fire him for that.

RightWinged on November 21, 2007 at 10:39 PM

I’m thinking the exit question is whether his shorts stayed clean.

mikeyboss on November 21, 2007 at 11:15 PM

And people laughed at that astronaut when she was arrested in a diaper…

Pam on November 21, 2007 at 11:18 PM

…and I thought the weather was s****y in England…

uptight on November 21, 2007 at 11:30 PM

That’s your forecast. Gotta run!

Ordinary1 on November 21, 2007 at 11:42 PM

“and we’re having a little bit….” – For a split second there in his panic, he thought about blaming it on technical difficulties, and aborted…..haha…

The open mike at the end perfected and already hilarious clip. This was sooooo funny! Thanks for posting this.

nottakingsides on November 22, 2007 at 1:20 AM

This video is titled “Ploppler Radar”. That is so great!

nottakingsides on November 22, 2007 at 1:23 AM

It should have been titled “Peecipitation Forecast.”

Or “Bladder Late Than Never.”

peacenprosperity on November 21, 2007 at 7:06 PM

GoodBoy on November 21, 2007 at 7:58 PM

Heh. There are about a million pecan pie recipes. This one just happens to be mine, with parts stolen from 8 different places. And, no, I wasn’t hoping to make money off of it.

Peace, boys!

Jaibones on November 22, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Ugh. That guy has my sympathies. Betcha that never happens to Katie Couric.

itzWicks on November 23, 2007 at 2:29 PM

And running a close second in the embarrassment stakes… what happened when someone attempted to sing the Croatian national anthem before a soccer game…and got the words slightly wrong:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7109058.stm

“Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat anthem before the 80,000 crowd, but made a blunder at the end.

He should have sung ‘Mila kuda si planina’ (which roughly means ‘You know my dear how we love your mountains’).

But he instead sang ‘Mila kura si planina’ which can be interpreted as ‘My dear, my penis is a mountain’.”

uptight on November 23, 2007 at 7:58 PM

“And here we can see a high-pressure s*** storm forming in the deep south….”
