Traffic reporter melts down after apparently complaining about being asked to cover traffic in the freezing cold weather, wondering why news anchors even cover traffic
Literally driving someplace to stand outside where a car nearly slides into them so they can tell people it’s too cold and dangerous to go driving outside. 😝 let these people film from home by their fireplace!
The better one was the snowing one he did a couple years ago. It got like 10 million views and the vast majority of people in the comments thought it was real 🤣
Man is just putting himself at the mercy of the intrusive thoughts. The true heroes of this world, risking their lives daily, for the people who prefer the 58th most efficient method of traffic report.
The level of passive-aggressive sarcasm is absolutely stellar. This man is a treasure and a rarity of honesty in the "news". Give this man an anchor position ASAP!
Love his comments about people not watching. When I was working from home I always thought the same thing. Going into the office, and coming home in the afternoon. I'd listen to the local news station who had traffic like every five minutes. Never ever thought about watching television inside my car for the traffic report.
LOL - seriously people in our area ask on the Facebook safety pages "how are the roads today?" and you get everything from nice answers to "Seriously? You know you have access to the same weather reports we do, right?" 😆
Like the classic Al Roker clip, where Al is telling everyone how dangerous a hurricane is. Then his 300lb self gets blown over by a wind gust. Thanks, Al!!
The fact that John is actually standing out there on the side of an interstate! 😂 He's quite literally risking his life for a CZcams video and laughs. Lord keep him safe 😆🥴
I doubt that. He usually does live sets. The sound is too perfect for him to be green screen on this one. Also you can see that he's at the end of a merge ramp so he is at least 40 feet away from actual travel lanes. @@my3dviews
I remember watching the national news when I was like 12 and a reporter was basically being blown away by a hurricane and all he basically reported was that the weather was getting really bad. I was cracking up at how silly that was. Even my mom was laughing about it.
That guy needs a raise. I remember seeing a young reporter about 20 plus years ago standing out in a hurricane almost getting blown away answering similar style questions. "What's it like out there" and look where Anderson Cooper is today.
Inspiring to see someone so enthusiastic and willing to jump out of bed to bring such important information to an eagerly awaiting audience. That boy will go far... Mark my words.
Fun one. Back when I was a kid in the 80s my Dad was literally the radio traffic guy in the sky who flew over the city in an airplane to tell people about traffic. 😂 Put some people out of a job but man, so amazing to live in these times with traffic on your phone by your bedside and don’t have to even roll out to see how it’s looking.
But seriously, It’s actually silly to listen to traffic reports because like really, you aren’t going to go to the airport, work or on your long planned road trip because of a traffic jam? At least here in Utah there’s no good alternative routes so you have to suck it up buttercup!
@@psalmreader8049 Never heard of planning ahead? Getting out the door faster? Deciding an alternate route? Or yes, maybe skipping your day off morning plans?
@@markfox1545 I like how you found more oddity in the common colloquial gaffe with "literally" and let go the guy who can't comprehend why traffic news is useful. Thanks for defending "literally" for us... again. Critical thinking can survive on incredulity alone.
I feel this so hard. I get how some might think "whats the big deal, call me whatever you want". But over the span of your life, day in and day out, hearing your name constantly mispronounced really has a way of eating at you. Especially because some people, when you correct them, treat you like you're stuck up like "whoa make sure you get his name right or he'll lose it" and I'm over here like dude its a very basic form of decency... It's not like I'm asking you to get down and kiss my feet lol I've lost count of the number of times I've corrected someone and they're actually kind about it and properly pronounce it ... but the next day you pass them at work and they're again saying it wrong and you're like "damn, why do I even try".🙃 It just makes you feel small and like you dont matter... and again, I dont think I'm special or superior to anyone, or that I deserve special treatment... but I guarantee you anyone would get annoyed if this happened to you constantly over a long span of time.
I have a mostly unpronounceable last name. So, when I'm called by someone, for example at a doctor's office, they usually say it with a question mark in their voice. I just say, "close enough", and we both laugh.
I am doing the traffic news at my local radio station and I can tell you all that this is exactly how we do it. We use Google Maps for you so you don‘t have to. 😁👍🏼
For a moment I thought this was real, then I said, "Hey, that guy looks kind of familiar," so I exited full screen and looked at the name and sure enough, it was a skit. 😆
I've always been saying what on Earth is a point of needing to go to college to become a so-called meteorologist? they're just going to use a computer.
Bro is complaining that he is getting paid and has a job. While tons of other road construction workers do real work every day on the roads. The entitlement is so strong with this one.

Love how the anchor back in studio still pronounces his name wrong at the end
He's a comedian you know.
@@Oklahomajewel1 Yes, still funny. 😊
I would too.
@@Oklahomajewel1obviously a shitty one, in this instant he should quit both his jobs rather than the saying goes.
And THAT wasn't accidental!
This is much like the hapless reporter who inevitably gets stuck standing out in the snow somewhere so they can tell people that it's snowing outside.
He did that one too about 2 years ago. He does great stand-up too.
@@likebot.John did a hysterical skit about the weather guy. I saved it because it’s so good. It was like a year ago.
Literally driving someplace to stand outside where a car nearly slides into them so they can tell people it’s too cold and dangerous to go driving outside. 😝 let these people film from home by their fireplace!
The downfall of "the media" can best be defined as Darwinism at work...
I saw that before I knew who he was and he fooled me good!!! Great bit.
The best thing about this video is that people think it's a real news broadcast. He's a comedian, y'all!
Well you just ruined it for me thanks😔
Yeah, ruined for me too! Mind you, still funny as all get out!
I was wondering if this was a sketch. 😅
Yes, but there is a Lady with that same name that recently left. I had to google it.
The better one was the snowing one he did a couple years ago. It got like 10 million views and the vast majority of people in the comments thought it was real 🤣
That very last "thank you, anna-veed" at the end was just perfect 😂😂😂
I was just about to comment this 😂 😂
Lol!!
As they cut him off mid-sentence 😅
This is why years ago people changed their names when coming to america
@@JaneDoe-ng3zm Ahhh the good ol' days of assimilation. I sure do miss them.
my husband thought the snow one was real.....and he could not stop laughing. He did not know it was a comedic bit.
The studio lady said, "southbound," even though John is on I-24, an east/west highway.
I do you one better @pevio2851, he is reporting for KPRC channel 2, which is a Houston, TX station. I-24 doesn't run through Houston
Man is just putting himself at the mercy of the intrusive thoughts. The true heroes of this world, risking their lives daily, for the people who prefer the 58th most efficient method of traffic report.
He's a comedian, named John Crist.
@@nastassiaanderson3879 Must be doing contract work then.
No lol this is a COMEDY video, not a real news report! 😂
@@zaram131 lol I know

Agreed, but he's probably working in the mail room now.
no hes an entitled jerk
He's a comedian, named John Crist.
passive aggressive sarcasm is a tool for women and cowardly men.
@@nastassiaanderson3879 Yes, give him a an anchor role ASAP.
This is the news I'd pay to watch 😂😂😂
I'd love to hear him narrate Biden and Chi's meeting in San Fran.
@@jamesdalton3082 Or DJT's "testimony" at his trial.
She said it looks cold but the temp is 77° 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I noticed that, too. I was thinking to myself that it looks like it could be winter but it's 77 degrees, lol. 🤣
crazy how many people fall for fake crap online anymore. Thanks man funny vid keep up being a comedian
The sequel we’ve all been waiting for! 😂
Other more efficient traffic detectors… “Tom, Tom… a CB” 😂😂😂😂😂
Love his comments about people not watching. When I was working from home I always thought the same thing. Going into the office, and coming home in the afternoon. I'd listen to the local news station who had traffic like every five minutes. Never ever thought about watching television inside my car for the traffic report.
“I could think of, off the top of my head, 57 other ways to do this more efficiently”
Lists literally 5 ways😂
My uncle Ricki 😂😂😂😂😂
How's that funny tho?
Limited time segment
Thank you for your sacrifice sir
This dude is 100% correct on everything he said
You know someone’s having a meltdown when they have a “f*cking kill me now god” smile on their face as they explain just how little their existence is
LOL - seriously people in our area ask on the Facebook safety pages "how are the roads today?" and you get everything from nice answers to "Seriously? You know you have access to the same weather reports we do, right?" 😆
I love it! I hate to see the news reporters being sent out in the elements to report on obvious weather and road conditions.
I hate it too. I have always thought that was a dumb thing to do.
Like the classic Al Roker clip, where Al is telling everyone how dangerous a hurricane is. Then his 300lb self gets blown over by a wind gust. Thanks, Al!!
the sequel we never knew we needed
Yeah, what is this from?
@@alexkx8599 wdym?
@@im_not_meg. What t.v. show or movie is this from?

The fact that John is actually standing out there on the side of an interstate! 😂 He's quite literally risking his life for a CZcams video and laughs. Lord keep him safe 😆🥴
Isn't he just using chromakey/green screen to make it look like he is actually standing there?
I doubt that. He usually does live sets. The sound is too perfect for him to be green screen on this one. Also you can see that he's at the end of a merge ramp so he is at least 40 feet away from actual travel lanes. @@my3dviews

@@vboz9271979 He's a comedian, who does fake videos.
This guys awesome. It's like office space meets Anchorman 😊
“My Uncle Rick has a TomTom” 😂😂😂
I spent the first minute trying to pronounce the name before John got to it 😂😂
I love how everyone thinks this is real.
This man makes me laugh just looking at the thumbnail.
I LOVE how real he is!…made me laugh and I really needed it today🤣…keep hanging in there 👍
How real bitchy he is? This guy was literally one of the most annoying people I've seen on TV, and no he didn't get "real" about anything.
He’s a jerk
And it ends with the announcer pronouncing his name wrong. Absolutely classic.
He definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
The first honest reporter I've seen in decades. THis is a perfect example of how inane 98% of news is.
I remember watching the national news when I was like 12 and a reporter was basically being blown away by a hurricane and all he basically reported was that the weather was getting really bad. I was cracking up at how silly that was. Even my mom was laughing about it.
I just looked on Google maps & it'll change in 60 seconds 😂
This guy should do stand up. He's great!!
You are joking, right? Just making sure the 3rd party knows that.
We will see, because he’s not a traffic reporter anymore 😂
@@user-ev4pb9xj7e He never was, he's a standup comedian doing a skit.
As a former traffic reporter, I can confirm that we all hated this kind of shot.
I always turn on the TV to check the traffic when I'm driving down the highway.
I love this guy! He's absolutely hilarious!!
Honestly Affidavit I'm surprised your job hadn't been taken over by an AI generated Vtuber yet 🤷♂️
That's not a meltdown, that is a man realizing how silly his job is in real time and being a fucking legend
This man is beautiful and I love him pointing out that the news is antiquated. Like newspapers.
I like this guy! We need more honest news Plus we'll get some good laughs in the morning!
Poor guy
Thanks for showing us what traffic looks like. We had no idea.
Hello john! Youre amazing I just saw your reporter meltdown video and you got me there! On point! Watching from the Philippines!
That guy needs a raise. I remember seeing a young reporter about 20 plus years ago standing out in a hurricane almost getting blown away answering similar style questions. "What's it like out there" and look where Anderson Cooper is today.
Hilarious! For longer than I would like to admit, I wondered how this guy was going to keep his job. 🤣
He’s had it for years- he’s John Crist, the brilliant comedian lol
Inspiring to see someone so enthusiastic and willing to jump out of bed to bring such important information to an eagerly awaiting audience. That boy will go far... Mark my words.

Love the honesty !!!!
Hope he still has job also... No shoving down the stress just expressing it perfectly !!!
❤❤❤
Fun one. Back when I was a kid in the 80s my Dad was literally the radio traffic guy in the sky who flew over the city in an airplane to tell people about traffic. 😂

Thank you for this. Never understood the fools that think we need traffic reports on tv.

That is when you start ignoring them and calling them by the wrong name. It will not take them long to figure it out.

Settle down, no one cares about your name.
This is precisely why I gave my children normal (for my country) names. More importantly, they're also SPELLED correctly.

I-24 is literally the worst freeway known to man
- Fellow native Nashvillian
I hope he gets a raise and continues to roast his own news network for making him do stupid things.
I looked up his name "Analdovid" in the Baby Names Meaning book. The name means: "person who stands on freeway with traffic zooming by".
I know his therapist was watching and was pleasantly proud that he finally stood up for himself.
You know he's a comedian, right?
For a moment I thought this was real, then I said, "Hey, that guy looks kind of familiar," so I exited full screen and looked at the name and sure enough, it was a skit. 😆
Oh man do more of this - soooo funny!! Love ya!!
It's good to see some honest reporting
Funny sketch. I love how the piece of equipment behind him jumps down the road about 1,000ft in like 3 seconds during the cut-away at 00:32 😂
“The man has a Tom Tom” 😂 Garmin still works but not for construction in my experience.🤣
No surprise, Tomtom was cheaper than Garmin
Lmao! This guy is hilarious and deserves a position in Congress.
What's really going to bake their noodle later is.... Many people don't even watch the news anymore for anything at all, 🤷♂
Good for him! Tell it like it is my friend! 😍💞
This guy is HILARIOUS!
He’s absolutely right though!
He needs his own show!
I’d watch it!
He should go interview “the hold up, wait a minute, something ain’t right” guy.
This is one of my favorite bits
I've always been saying what on Earth is a point of needing to go to college to become a so-called meteorologist? they're just going to use a computer.
It's job security, Anavid. Keep up the good work!
Im glad to read in the comments that this was a skit. He's standing on a road in Nashville, but the TV graphics are for a station in Houston.
As a Reyes too, keep telling the way it is. Great job be safe.
This guy makes some of the funniest videos on CZcams.
He saying what we are all thinking during this kind of reporting 😅
That's hilarious! The existential angst is palpable! "Everything I'm doing here will be meaningless in 60 seconds!"
Thank you, Anna Veed
😂😂😂 that guy went off 😂😂😂
70 years of tradition unimpeded by progress.

Was that a voice cameo by Alex at the end? You guys are the best!

Lol that is too cool! You are on point! Give it to them brother!!
“YOUR POSITION HAS BEEN ELIMINATED”..... Have never heard a better argument to eliminate a job, especially from the person doing the job.
the JB HUNT truck cameo 😎
He's has a grip on reality that all
Just went to see him in CT and he's so freaking funny 🤣
I still waiting for the melt down part...
i suspect this was his last traffic report
