We all want to know what the weather is going to be like. So to get what we want, we force ourselves to sit through some pretty boring deliveries by those oh-so-perfect meterologist guys and gals. Their dress is impeccible, their recitations letter-perfect. And the only thing that goes wrong is an occasional missed forecast.
Yeah, right!
In addition to delivering the latest weather conditions,
Accuweather.com offers visitors the chance to see its staff in less-than-perfect moments on-screen. Each month the best Outtakes are compiled into a video montage that offers a few chuckles and occasionally an outright guffaw. You have to put up with a 30-second ad prior to the video starting, and the intro can get a little old after the first few viewings, but after that the fun begins. Some collections are mere slips of the tongue, while others were probably filmed when the meteorologists were either a little tired, a little tipsy, or both. (My favorite is the "every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings" routine at the beginning of the
March 2008 bloopers video.) You can view these and other videos by going to Accuweather.com and looking for the "Weather Videos" display on the right side of the screen.
They may not get your mind off the latest approaching hurricane, or the plethora of brush fires about to decimate your neighborhood, but Accuweather's Bloopers videos are good for at least two minutes of snickering. Enjoy!
