Many of us have found ourselves preoccupied for hours on end immersed in possibly the biggest distraction the Internet has to offer - YouTube. There is just so much to view, from home videos to annoying commentaries on life. As we search YouTube looking for a particular clip or wondering aimlessly around for anything interesting, we often come across a video we like, and we "favorite" it for future reference. Here is a collection of videos that I have found rather funny, all having taken place on major news channels. Feel free to submit your own.

To start things off, this newsman loses his script and the fact that the teleprompter probably was not working proves too much for him to deal with. He fails at his attempt at making some sense of the story, "umm...he...uhhh... has done something that is very good..."

Nice try, but I don't think I quite understand the story...



A news reporter has a bit of an accident live on T.V. That must have hurt!
I wonder if he emotionally recovered from that incident.



A reporter mixes up two completely different words to her embarrassment. Not sure what she was thinking of at the time...

I wouldn't be too surprised if she got fired for this.



O.K. the next one is not so funny. A Japanese reporter falls five stories after trying to test a new fire escape system. The device was supposed to gently lower a person down, but was not properly secured and hence it failed. Fortunately safety mats were set up at the bottom. She suffered an injury to her waist and it took her three months to fully recover.

Don't quite know why the commentator was laughing at the end though.
