With traditional media feeling the strain of the 24-hour news cycle created by the web (as predicted in Sandra Bullock’s The Net), and many journalists finding themselves forced to compete at this frantically escalated rate of production or face being out of work, it only makes sense that the news will become more and more like a Mad TV sketch from 1994. Not that the rules for the news have changed at all. As always, those remain:
1. GET THEIR ATTENTION
2. Make them laugh
3. Parody it!
4. News
Nailed it. A perfect reporting! (Thanks for the tip, Michael.)

This tradition is so stupid. “How can he see his shadow? It’s pre-dawn and they have field/concert lighting. OH, that’s how he sees his shadow. Works for me” = (a conversation stupid people might have with themselves)
wow, I can’t believe you have so much hatred towards Phil. i hope you don’t also hate Uncle Sam and apple pie and 7/11-brand-Snuggies.
It’s hard to tell who hates me and why, all I can say is I’m glad to have such a dedicated fanbase.
It’s the gif. Chicks dig the gif.
I see you’ve played knifey-groundhog before.
Andie MacDowell has not aged well, but its nice that the producers got her a long-term gig predicting the weather.
Gobbler’s Knob. Heh heh.
Gabe, I think that video is broken. Can you re-post it please?
Hope at the Oscars? What’s that, you might ask? Well, if our Australian friends had been paying attention to 2003, they would have known

I have to admit, I don’t get why this is funny and I need help. Is it that Groundhog day is stupid? Am I not listening or looking hard enough…or too hard? Sry.
Groundhog Day jokes never die; they just repeat themselves forever until they get enough good karma and make a mediocre actress fall in love.
Ooh, ahh, ha HA, I just got it.
Yep, I juust got it…
…hm.
I will upvote every comment of yours, regardless of content, based solely on your avatar.
it’s kind of amazing, when you think about it, how the movie “groundhog day” totally changed the whole world’s thinking about actual groundhog day and transformed it into some deja vu/repeat it till you get it right phenomenon. the power of film. except, apparently, in Spice Weasel’s world.
Some hard hitting news there Australia. Well done! Here, have some of my pulitzer colada.
I see what they did there. (Seriously, it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this one out. Yay for being a college graduate!)
I get it now.
OOOO I just got it. Wow, that took a while
I watched past the news skit expecting something else funny, but the piece on the new “We Are the World” got me thinking. There are disasters and just terrible, terrible, horrible things going on in this world every hour of every day, right? Why has the world, and especially America, sprung such a dripping-wet, tumescent, disaster-relief boner for Haiti? All the money and aid going to the plight there is wonderful, and I wouldn’t wish for any of it to be taken away or any less effort given, but a lot of successful, selfish people and organizations suddenly, randomly caring? Good is definitely coming out of it, but I don’t understand or trust it.
See? Australians can be funny. We’re not all hate-mongering sociopaths. Some of us are attractive and funny. Some of us also have a soft spot for metallic blouses. Our culture is rich.
