Synopsis:

Incorporating some of the better material from the film “Wake Up, Ron Burgundy” into “Anchorman” to fill out the film and make me laugh more. I love lamp.

Intentions:

To make wit’ the funny.

Change List:

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.

Additional Notes:

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!
