Your intention for this fan edit: To make wit’ the funny.

Your way to achieve your intention: Culled any scenes that I liked from “Wake Up, Ron Burgundy” (excluding ones that directly related to the alternate subplot) and smacked ‘em into the spot I done thunk they should go. Whammy!

Cuts removed/added/extended:
Main changes:

  • Added extra newscast mentioning Bigfoot, and cut-away to nursing home.
  • Added Brian Fantana’s brief report about the evils of breastfeeding.
  • Replaced Brick Tamland’s weather report for one about leaving animals in cars.
  • Added Champ telling Ron about the party, and the ‘News Team!’ transition to party.
  • Added additional scene to end of first argument with Wes Mantooth. (Taken from after the end credits.)
  • Added Ron driving with Veronica without watching the road.
  • Added Ron and Veronica going into Tino’s.
  • Added Brian, Champ, and Brick driving around without Ron.
  • Switched in long version of Veronica being angry at Ron about revealing their relationship.
  • Extended and replaced sections of the scene where Veronica requests better stories to report.
  • Extended first newscast after Veronica joins the team.
  • Added cafeteria scene wherein the team decide what to do about the ‘Corningstone situation’. Brick eats “one of those delicious falafel hotdogs with cinnamon and bacon on top”. Yummy!
  • Replaced the scenes of the team messing with Veronica. The added alternate versions are, Fast teleprompter, “Ten pizzas” phone call, Foam phone call.
  • Added Champ’s ‘Must be that time of the month’ comment and subsequent science lesson.
  • Added News Team action poses to the street fight.
  • Mirrored several flipped shots of Brick with trident during News Team rumble to fix continuity.
  • Added scene of Veronica having a hard time at work after Ron is fired.
  • Added Ron crying in the shower.
  • Added Ron visiting his mentor, Jess Moondragon.
  • Added scene of Ed arguing with his heretofore unseen son, Chris.
  • Added scene of Ron at a bar, close to being kicked out due to the smell.
  • Added scene of the News Team driving to the zoo wherein Champ finally speaks his mind. Extreme uncomfortableness ensues.
  • Added PSA with Ron to the very end of the credits.

Several other tweaks and snips, mainly to do with excising references to the Alarm Clock storyline in the added scenes.

  1. Brilliant Antman. Whammy!

    Though, five channel mono does not 5.1 make.

  2. “Though, five channel mono does not 5.1 make.”

    That’s weird…I could have sworn I used 2 channel audio upped to 5.1, not mono.

    Either way, apologies. I doubt I’ll be shuffling my way through a true 5.1 track any time soon.

    I love…carpet.

  3. Not bad! I don’t know if I like it any better than the original version, but there were some interesting choices made. Didn’t like the additions of the very super overly long scene of Champ in the car and the scene with the ‘f’ word over and over, but other than that, the additions were pretty good. Overall, a decent alternate version of the film. I give it a 7/10.
