Thug Life.

8. “OK, let’s just read the weather bulletin here OH MY GOD WHY IS THERE A DONKEY BEHIND ME?”

9. Sometimes the content itself is beyond parody

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

12. And finally… TV3′s resident weatherman Deric Hartigan made the early morning weather so much more enjoyable when this happened
