Man steals show from reporter in best videobombing ever

OFF THE WIRE

Many of us will never experience the struggles and stresses of being an on-the-scene reporter for a local news station. These unsung heroes of 11 p.m. filler put up with much at the hands of us, the jackass public hoping to exploit those two-minute segments for our own videobombing amusement. Mostly our stunts are forgettable, but one man in Scotland is achieving Internet fame for his hilarious bombing of a BBC reporter doing a segment from a local pub. His success comes from his bomb's simplicity. Stick with one motif: a funny face and a smooth, sliding motion as you invade the reporter's space without her knowledge. Thanks to his antics, we have absolutely no idea what she's reporting on.
