[@DigitalHobby]

This reporter probably thinks that Anchorman is a documentary not a comedy.

[@ruiarruda7807]

The poor reporter can't allow herself or any other people a moment of relaxation and laughter.

[@jacklambert1521]

She's a special little snowflake. Burgundy owned her.

[@alureon1]

She tried to ask an in-character comedian a serious question? Really?

[@tontoepstein6381]

Comedy isn't your strong suit, is it.

[@alureon1]

Tonto Epstein Doesn't seem to me like she's trying to be funny.

[@christiansherrard885]

alureon and then she got offended that he didnt answer it...wtf was she expecting???

[@communistjesus]

" in-character comedian"" ???!!!!WHAT!!!!???.. Ron Burgundy is the REAL McCoy... If i were a billionth as cool as Ron Burgundy I be a happy man..

[@TheKraken32]

She hasn’t watched the anchorman

[@stevester7840]

What's her deal asking telling the girls they were used? She's so uptight I swear

[@12Piece1]

Yeah, that's almost funnier too

[@AM-ry8is]

the school's using him if anything

[@PrezVeto]

I get the feeling the popularity of his misogynist character really bothers her, despite the intended humor.

[@matthewgunther782]

She’s too stupid to realize he’s a satirical character.

[@KekuTheLaughing]

Couldn't be made today could it?

[@tanello2]

i think Skynews should fire that pointless woman and get someone who can behave when speaking to Burgundy.

[@JiriTeller]

Yesssssss

[@knvxxx]

Just get anyone who isn't a woman

[@Khalaxe]

She is an insult to the British media.

[@mortalclown3812]

Maybe get the tiniest grip. It's just not that big of a deal.

[@rahul-qm9fi]

@@mortalclown3812 ok Hannah

[@CalamityHillMusic]

The British media is an insult to Britain.

[@mortalclown3812]

He's an international treasure. Just the funniest guy ever, really. God bless Will Ferrell.

[@winkwarren939]

Put some respect on his name. Ron Burgundy!

[@Finaljustice101]

she seems to really want to insult will ferrell throughout this with her questions to him and the students.

[@TheAmazingCobalt]

I love how she seems totally unaware that he's a comedian in character

[@knvxxx]

She's too stupid to recognize humor

[@TimesFM4532]

That was the point

[@nibzxx]

lol the reporter is trying to turn the people against him, MON THE RON

[@shobin05]

Oh Sky News, the same people who sued Skype for copying their name...

[@palasta]

And the developers of No Mans Sky. The audacity of those people.

[@ThatGuy-ji1bs]

This was intended for fun and this reporter tried to throw sexism questions at him. Really? Take a break from your personal agenda for once.

[@coryv5679]

Sounds like she was asking an in character person a question that he'd respond to. Ron is known to be very sexist. Sounds like she was just asking Ron as Ron and not Will...

[@luis39205]

Only a handful of people in the comments picked up on that this report was meant to be tongue in cheek, in the same way that the whole "Ron Burgundy" act is tongue in cheek. Brilliant from both parties tbh.

[@skibitibeethadbme5799]

Will Ferrell is a funny guy.

[@avisonlane2040]

Yes he's the funniest man since Chevy Chase , and I am so glad that I got to see both of them in their prime in my lifetime.

[@supertec07]

Avison Lane so true!

[@edotball]

WTF is wrong with this interviewer?!

[@McLovin123ify]

shameful display reporter.. SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!!

[@swim2kill]

what a pompous reporter

[@mankiebob]

It is a fake British accent though. Each region in the U.K. has its own accent. The London,Liverpool,Newcastle,Manchester,Birmingham,Leeds areas all have their own different accents. I think that accents give people identity that they should be proud of. This reporter has probably had elocution lessons. I can honestly say that I've never met anyone who talks like her.

[@bruth6138]

Nice report. "Ridiculous character played by ridiculous comedic actor not taking questions seriously." Stay tuned for the late night report where a Tawny Owl fails to help an old lady across the street.

[@welcometolife4237]

Lol

[@maryjansson7510]

This is the greatest thread ever for Americans not understanding British people. 1.The reporter is setting herself up. 2. There are lots of British people that talk like that. This is gold.

[@Para1yzar]

I love Ron Burgandy. So good.

[@viliboy]

He handled her cancerous question well!

[@curtismes]

your trying to ask a serious question of Ron Burgundy?

[@ConservativeHippie99]

He's playing his character lol obviously he won't be 100% serious 😂

[@chipgriffiths3655]

The fake British accented woman journalist, asking an out of context question, is probably the reason why Boston is only among the top 400 of Ron Burgundy's favorite cities. lol. My hat's off to Emerson University for injecting a bit of humor in the serious world of journalism.

[@spenser9908]

He's sort of an American Alan Partridge

[@lilnateaint]

most people who use "most people" don't know most people, but are most people

[@kshitijsahdev4480]

The more she sounds pissed, the funnier it is to me xD

[@thejudge7737]

Will Ferrell best character by far.

[@NewEnglandViews]

Reporter tries to rile up Ron... not happening

[@hhhhh-kj8dw]

I hope this reporter sees these comments and knows that everyone hates her and her attitude

[@AndorranStairway]

I’m sure she’s aware that people are too stupid to understand the concept of a straight man.

[@Theguntherful]

Oh come on people. The reporter took it in a light sense. She saw the humor in it, obviously. She says 'Keep it classy' at the end.

[@SickMetalAddict]

What upsets me is if he accidentally gave a wrong answer while in character he would get a lot of bad press.

[@tapiocamango]

Why would anyone expect a serious answer from Ron Burgundy? It's Ron that's present in that event, not Will Ferrell, if that makes sense.

[@Collins1118]

From everything I’ve ever heard he is like the nicest guy. It’s a Fukin character. Chill

[@austinfull8941]

That guy looks like an Anchorman character.

[@elmarierhode1418]

Are u flippin serious?! He's in character!

[@safabru]

Hannah thomas Peter would take the fun out of Christmas from the look of things.

[@26muca07]

That last guy described beautifully my feelings for Ron.

[@rafaelsilva-tx6by]

This reporter was born offended!

[@puzdawg3547]

Ron Burgundy calling out fake news.

[@robertacheson5976]

Worst reporter ever. Go back to journalism night school and learn about what Comedians do for a living.

[@Qodesh00]

Never even heard a joke like that and I'm from America. Her accent does sound a bit over the top though but I don't know I've never been to England.

[@bizzurman]

Most people who comment don't understand sarcasm.

[@SaltyFrankie]

Or people are trying to convey sarcasm through the comments using text. ISN'T THAT BRILLIANT, MAKING SARCASTIC COMMENTS WITH LETTERS NOT VERBAL QUES?[S]

[@bunating]

Ron Burgundy > this repoter

[@ejb4adable]

i love when people ask him serious questions and get mad they dont get a serious answer. cmon people lol

[@shadow1-_-173]

drop dead gorgeous lmao

[@antonvanderbatez6015]

And great hair

[@ditapink2821]

Ron burgundy is a legend.

[@ControversialBadBoy]

Is she serious lmao what a flamingo

[@leonbuzza]

Thats funny obviously your not gunna get a serious answer its ron burgandy

[@arafjan7488]

We need a new Ron Burgundy film with Buster Scruggs co-starring!

[@kapilsethia9284]

People don't get satire now a days.

[@geordannschilling]

She was probably shocked to find out it’s actually will Ferrell

[@andrewthomas695]

Ron Burgundy for President!

[@bentattersfield887]

Ron needs to "rip the lid off" of Sky News lol

[@itsabingo8712]

I feel like she was also doing a bit but it didnt translate well to the youtube comments species

[@Iskedo]

The reporter must be desperate to keep her job, clearly in the wrong profession.

[@SovereignMoney]

that stache at 1:38 is legendary

[@BlackDiamond2718]

“He’s kind of a big deal.” Reminds me of how he didn’t think Jack Lame wasn’t a big deal.

[@lawrenceneri5208]

I don't think the reporter minded it specially that she used Ron's stay classy tag line.

[@bungabening3530]

She's playing it tongue in cheek but it doesn't quite come off

[@getnoobfanflamingo]

Love him 😂

[@Silversoon78910]

Is the guy with the huge funny mustache at the end part of the comedy

[@blackdogadonis]

That man is beautiful

[@blackhawk0071292]

O boy.... somebody is annoyed and jealous! Many women now a days are not happy with successful & charismatic man.

[@Rhys-jd1kt]

Oh good grief, sky news😂😂😂

[@M.a.y.l.u.s]

I enjoyed my time on sky news.

[@I_am_Syrius]

the report got so bitter!! 🤣

[@ghostface9171]

that guys mustache though

[@mysticmac2025]

Woman reporter is mad that Ron’s mustache is bigger than hers

[@jdog2169]

its anchorman not anchorlady and thats a scientific fact

[@pukeyourguts]

wow. that guy earnestly used "couldn't care less" to mean the polar opposite of what he meant. that's insane.

[@pukeyourguts]

upon rewatching it i'm guessing (and hoping) he was just another comedy character

[@matthewbrooks2757]

*couldnt care less that the school is being used

[@shivakrishnarama]

+pukeyourguts nice grab. Some people are really sharp listeners, like yourself. The question is, since we know that''s not what he meant, does it matter?

[@mlittlitt]

This journalist is what is wrong with journalism

[@bokehintheussr5033]

1:22 "I think it's pretty cool that he chose emerson college out of any other school he could have chosen in the world to come here and like, prin...mote his movie to the world". The future of journalism is in safe hands. The open society will prevail.

[@shaina2323]

Prin...mote lol a journalist unable to pronounce basic words.

[@carljcreighton]

It's a legitimate question she asked the students

[@cheesyboicapree8110]

Fuckin clown

[@AndorranStairway]

It’s sad that the people here complaining about the reporter not understanding comedy, are people who don’t understand comedy themselves. She was simply playing the straight man in order to allow Will to do his thing. It would’ve been way worse if she tried to be funny and failed. She even signed off by saying “he’s kind of a big deal” and “stay classy”, but I guess even spelling it out still wouldn’t get the brainlets to understand

[@ff9guy]

No sun in London

[@Riskmangler]

Those were very twatty questions.

[@money8521]

this is what is wrong with the world today, cant take a joke. i feel offended :(

[@cazadorashwill2265]

He’s a comedian.

[@stevendouglas3860]

Hannah privileged

[@knvxxx]

That's the fakest accent I've ever heard, I don't think he was joking about that

[@cheesyboicapree8110]

Hard to tell

[@jasonhelfrich3380]

He is hilarious

[@samherb1]

She's triggered.....

[@Uziisdoors]

She can't be serious right?

[@xdunejunkiex]

Found the feminist reporter

[@alabdel1388]

She does realize he's playing a character...right? What planet is she from?

[@lukad332]

ok ... that guy at the end who got intervewed had to have a fake mustache

[@stephenc8]

Was that groucho Marx at the end

[@anicesweater8281]

wth is wrong with this lady?

[@rapturereadyyt]

She's also a fake reporter.

[@gart9680]

Double barrelled surname. Do one.

[@michaelstrunk6058]

Who's Ron Burgundy? Is he new to journalism, finally a fresh face. Not too fresh, but not too ripe.

[@DeepakKumar-xb5js]

Lol the mustache on the guy at the end 😂🤣

[@mcleanedwards7748]

Core

[@AronDaKid]

WILL FERREL??

[@onlyiforgive5083]

Then a negative question to the students 😂 get a sense of humor plz

[@hobofuture]

1:42, who is that? That's not areal moustache surely?

[@--Valek--]

Get a grip hannah
