YOUTUBE: Generic News Report

Ever wonder how news programs, especially the numbered ones (48 Hours, 60 Minutes, 20/20, etc.), crank out current and well produced reports so quickly? There's a formula, of course! Even local evening newcasts have followed suit in their own quainter way.

The parody video, Generic News Report, brought to you by the hilarious Brit, Charlie Brooker, from his show Newswipe, mocks the very formulaic essence that is "a news report." This British accent definitely helps in the superior tone on the joke.

It's pretty clear that Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips studied.
