Crawl: Difference between revisions

Found on [[Twenty Four 24-Hour News Networks]], such as [[CNN]], this line of scrolling text provides viewers with the headlines while they are watching a report on, say, tax evasion. Also called a news ticker. Any spoof of a news report is almost guaranteed to have a silly headlines populating this bar for the entire time for bonus jokes, which often requires one to rewatch the scene twice to catch everything. Said headlines may or may not be about a [[Noodle Incident]].

* ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' has featured a fake news crawl with headlines such as "Panda Murder-Suicide Shocks China"; "Wolf Blitzer Injured In Wolf Blitz"; "Mysterious Visitor From Future Wins Lottery Again"; "Anne Heche Leaves Husband For Pony."

* In a trailer of sorts for the Lost and Damned download content for ''GTAIV'', done in the style of a Weazel News report, talks about bikers causing violence while the crawl below reads things like 'Laid off worker gets laid', 'Stimulus package includes vibrator', and 'Bologna recall totally fucks worker's lunch plan' among others. And it's done again in a similar trailer for The Ballad of Gay Tony, with the main report focusing on illegal guns trade while the crawl has lines like 'Swine Flu scared by woman in mask' and 'Parents demand school closing - saying public education is socialism'. However, there is at least one that [[Dude, Not Funny|goes too far]]: [[Unfortunate Implications|'Middle class to Congress: We don't want health care!']]
