A typo on the autocue led to this newsreader’s Anchorman-style gaffe

A funny clip of NBC 12 anchor Eric Phillips has cropped up again six years after this funny but embarrassing on-air gaffe.

u/zephyr-zoo‘s post on r/funny brought the funny fail to the attention of a new audience, who had some great reactions.

I mean, he’s right, if you got anything looking like rice or something that came from a slow cooker in there, take action!

To be fair, I’d be doubly alarmed if my panties were being recalled for risk of fire or electric shock.

I love the calm correction. “Hmm… that doesn’t seem right.”

No rice cooker in mine.

Don’t get your pantries in a bunch, yo.

It took me listening to it a couple times to realize he said “it’s supposed to be PANTRIES” because to me it sounded like he said pants strings.

TIL rice or slow cookers in your panties can cause fire or electric shock. Good to know.

u/rocketneo pointed out that it could have been worse.

Well, I mean, better than “Go fuck yourself, San Diego.”
