The local news has a weather man in the mornings that is a bit silly and random..
*offers proof*

Sorry for the bad quality.. I took this video with my cellphone..
Well anyway, this guy is like this every day.
I enjoy it, but there are people out there that hate him and find him annoying.
So.. would you want a weather man like this, or would you rather have a no frill - facts only weather man?

Well, every day would be a bit much. But that was perfect for "Ernesto". :p
i would like the occasional
"it will be raining creame pies in Birmingham" line for the BBC weather reposts but everyday would just get tedious

I wish my weatherman would dress up like the phantom of the opera more often...
Silly and lots of it, sprinkled occassionally with facts.

Predicting the weather is crap anyway, might as well make it silly.
Maybe they can make paper maps and have the weatherman burst through them like the Kool-aid man. Oh-Yeah! :)
There are many different great things the weatherman could dress as.
Such as...

the stupid weatherguy here draws a stupid little umbrella every time it rains, with a hole for his hand. And then he laughs as if it's so funny the 500th time.
creativity is vastly under-rated.

Humour is good, but being "wacky" for the sake of it gets pretty tedious.

*sigh* Whatever happened to Fred the weatherman. His jumpers (sweaters?) were incredible..

I want to know why that video is named "Goomg." Oddest name I've ever seen.
Anyway, I get enough silliness in the weather itself.(Switching from rain to shine every ten damned minutes for three hours gets boring REALLY quick.) I don't need a weatherman to make it even more annoying.

I want that weatherman. All we get is BBC North West Tonight with Gordon 'Krypton Factor' Burns trying and failing to be funny. Oh, almost forgot, the weathergirl likes to make words and acronyms out of the town names for Gordon to try and spot. Hi Larious. :rolleyes:
My weather person always starts chit-chatting with his cow-orkers, or trying to be funny at the tail end of his weather reports. It sux! I don't mind mixing a little humor in with the forecast if it's done right, but if I wanted a *expletive deleted* comic, I'd be watching the *expletive deleted* comedy channel!
