Not ideal.

Disaster.

A Hungarian weather reporter thought it would be a brilliant idea to make fart noises when discussing windy weather but his employers didn’t see the funny side.

According to The Daily Mail, Szilard Horvath made the joke during a broadcast which led to him losing his job.

Mr. Horvath wasn’t too happy about the outcome and took to social media to express his frustration.

“If Mr. Bean or Benny Hill farts, everyone laughs, but now a big deal is being made about this,” said Horvarth, before explaining that he now needed to find work elsewhere.

The clip is now going viral thanks to the interesting sounds (and facial expressions) made by the reporter during the forecast.

Face palm.
