Here's the video for the gif. He redeems himself, so it's all good in the neighborhood.

[–]Deinos_Mousike 109 points110 points ago

Hahah, I love how the entire TV station was cracking up afterwards.

[–]HabitOfCreature 31 points32 points ago

I came from the "My Brand" clip to this.

I can't breathe.

I HAVE SPECIAL EYES

[–]ifyouknowwhatimeanx 16 points17 points ago

Look! Look with your special eyes!

[–]MrMagpie93 5 points6 points ago

That commercial has never ceased to at least make me smile

[–]gatz -1 points0 points ago

Link?

[–]JLWDGCSU 10 points11 points ago

That's San Diego's Fox Morning News. They're always really loose in their shows; not that strict and having fun which is why I watch it.

[–]OttoBismarck 10 points11 points ago

just none of the professionalism that Ron Burdgundy brought to the position of San Diego news anchor.

[–]tothesource 1 point2 points ago

San Diegites?

[–]I_Love_Tall_Women 1 point2 points ago

Whales vagina?

[–]fizziebob 16 points17 points ago

for some reason I feel like he went underwater on purpose. I've seen another video showcasing these water jetpacks and the people constantly go in and out of the water.

[–]9ren 0 points1 point ago

They edited it to make him look stupid. Always be nice to your editor.

[–]spwmoni 8 points9 points ago

It was live, dude

[–]9ren -1 points0 points ago

Live editor.

[–]doxxeh 74 points75 points ago

Oh god that top comment made me lose it. "It styarts rayght nyow!"

[–]Hammerhead3229 23 points24 points ago

I'm in fucking tears

[–]Boobarella 9 points10 points ago

I can't stop laughing. Now my girlfriend's laughing in the other room cause I'm in tears.

[–]xltaylx 9 points10 points ago

I lost it at the cut to the transition after the awkward laugh and splash in the water, "Serving all of San Diego. This is your Fox 5 news."

[–]YourACoolGuy 5 points6 points ago

I like when he arose from the water, he still had the same smile

[–]Silversol99 3 points4 points ago

Then the anchors can't even look at the camera because they're cracking up.

[–]probably-maybe 3 points4 points ago

This made me crack a huge smile, thanks.

[–]nicesalamander 5 points6 points ago

somebody needs to make a looping video of just that part.

[–]BBQsauce18 2 points3 points ago

Salamander! I come from the future. If this .gif is created, it brings about the end of the world! Delete your comment forthwith!

[–]turkeyllama 1 point2 points ago

I've already read this, so you're fucked. Not creating it just yet though, but you wait..

[–]Nyeep 4 points5 points ago

You totally watched doctor who last night.

[–]cybix 0 points1 point ago

I pissed myself when I saw that comment, brilliance.

[–]ListenChump 6 points7 points ago

[–]fuck_this_fuck_you 1 point2 points ago

THANK YOU FOR THAT it loops so beautifully

[–]TheSantaslave 11 points12 points ago

What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that? What is that?

[–]TheOven 4 points5 points ago

The look on that dudes face is priceless

[–]confetti 4 points5 points ago

17 seconds after you posted the link, I was about to ask for it. Thanks!

[–]9ren 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was going to be a video of the gif.

[–]Florida1995 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of that old Game cube game Super Mario Sunshine.

[–]venustrapsflies 6 points7 points ago

old? fuck.

[–]genital_furbies 2 points3 points ago

Totally old! That was almost 2 console generations ago!

[–]KaziArmada 0 points1 point ago

'It's a water powered jetpack'

'That almost took Matt down with him?!?'

[–]0piat3 159 points160 points ago

This totally seems like an Arrested Development deleted scene.

[–]failspy 21 points22 points ago

And that's why you never use a water jetpack.

[–]kidsberries69 4 points5 points ago

Did I miss something ? Everyone's limbs seem to be intact

[–]evolvingon 2 points3 points ago

No jet packs are for fighting mole-mosters attacking Sudden Valley. Didn't the Japanese backers explain that in the instructional video?

[–]getoffrobbie 3 points4 points ago

I really thought it AD when i saw the .gif. Came to the comments looking for answers.

[–]Trimm_Dich_Forever 5 points6 points ago

I was about to say, this seems like a teaser to the new season

[–]yvetterockette -4 points-3 points ago

Came here to say exactly this.

[–]stupidnickname 32 points33 points ago

Somehow, I always knew the future would be like that.

[–]burntornge 7 points8 points ago

The Water Jet Pack, as seen at thisiswhyimbroke.com.

Also, here.

Only $100K. I'll take two.

[–]daringlunchmeat 1 point2 points ago

Yes! This was a great way to start the day.

[–]Cpt_Wolf 16 points17 points ago

If that's the future, there's a ton of time travelers on America's Funniest Home Videos.

[–]joshlamb619 3 points4 points ago

I was at this event, we had a booth. it was a boat show across the street from the San Diego Airport, dude was doing this for 3 days straight..

[–]jwick89 5 points6 points ago

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!!!

[–]ddftd8 3 points4 points ago

It styarts rayght neow

[–]Mr_Walter_Sobchak 3 points4 points ago

The future started the first 10 times this was posted.

[–]Liamb2179 11 points12 points ago

Aren't these those water-powered jet packs that can go under water? I'm pretty sure that was intentional...

[–]Rawrjumping 13 points14 points ago

Shush, you're ruining the joke.

[–]digs 8 points9 points ago

It looked like the hose got caught on the dock

[–]iTrolling 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure that was intentional. If you look closely you'll see that the tube that is feeding the water gets caught on the corner of the pier. This caused his forward momentum to shift.

[–]jarcaf 0 points1 point ago

The yellow kill switch hit the reporter`s arm...

[–]not-a-follower -2 points-1 points ago

No that is the Zapata racing fly board. This runs on a pump on shore.

[–]penguin_gun -1 points0 points ago

What's the difference? Air versus water?

[–]not-a-follower 4 points5 points ago

The fly board is a lot less cumbersome and is made for going in and out of water.

[–]Woovie -1 points0 points ago

No. The fly board has a mini boat / jet ski you tow that has the pump. This is shore attached, so I guess you're stuck at the shore. Sounds less neat to be honest.

[–]penguin_gun 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure the feeling would still be pretty awesome but compared to jetpacking around underwater? Definitely not as neat.

[–]KingWiltyMan 2 points3 points ago

This was in the 30 Rock episode I watched yesterday. Odd.

[–]1corn 1 point2 points ago

Haha, me too.

[–]lostmygravitas 1 point2 points ago

It's funny how people will totally make up explanations for things they don't now anything about as if they are some expert on the topic/device.

"Ah yeah what happened is he hit the kill switch accidentally"

No...no that's not what happened, now go sit down.

[–]aoeu00 2 points3 points ago

definite fit for "the future, Conan?"

[–]PumpedDownKicks 1 point2 points ago

The way of the future, the way of the future, the way of the future...

water jet propelled underwater extravaganza's!

[–]cepukon 0 points1 point ago

The future has discovered a way cooler way to dive.

[–]reali-tglitch 0 points1 point ago

The future: high-speed hydro-pack scuba diving.

[–]badgrafxghost 0 points1 point ago

...sounds about right

[–]nickwilcoxon 0 points1 point ago

He says it starts right now, i know this because i have studied this video intently.

[–]issicus 1 point2 points ago

that "rocket pack" is so old

[–]getoutofthepool 1 point2 points ago

This lined up with my girlfriend snoring...five times in a row. You may have 1 out of 1 upvotes from me.

Seth McFarlane?

[–]Digita1B0y 0 points1 point ago

I think I burned like...60 calories laughing at this.

[–]SevenSeasOfRhye -1 points0 points ago

I could recaption that with, "My studying starts now!" Then I fall into water with the label, reddit

[–]Thbwomp 0 points1 point ago

Pure joy

[–]evolvingon 1 point2 points ago

Oh Fox...

[–]digbus 0 points1 point ago

Wonder whats on reddit today? oh just reposts..

[–]_NDS 1 point2 points ago

I guess his people didn't need him.

[–]superanth 0 points1 point ago

So...did he drown?

[–]degoban 0 points1 point ago

He is an economy reporter.

[–]Indydegrees2 0 points1 point ago

If thats the future, I'm okay here thanks.

[–]jcmiro -4 points-3 points ago

[–]sir_joe_cool 4 points5 points ago

If you think that's bad, you should see where the water is actually shooting out from.

[–]jibara 1 point2 points ago

smiling out of his ass

[–]A_1337_Canadian -1 points0 points ago

Here is a video of some Canadians doing it.
