This video actually began as a live Fox News cast, but went viral once it was posted to YouTube. Thus, it is an example of YouTube providing an appropriate home for this kind of humor. In “Grape lady falls!” a newscaster attempts to juice grapes with her feet in a contest and instead falls out of a barrel. The camera jolts away, obscuring the newscaster from the frame, leaving the viewer to merely hear the woman’s pained screaming. The crowning glory on this documentation of injury is the surprised anchors when the live broadcast ends prematurely and we are brought back to the news desk. “Grape lady falls!” as well as its viral nature reveals the sadistic viewing habits of many YouTube users.
