This weatherman's attempt at an on-air sex joke is horribly awkward

Presenter Christine Bellport was wrapping up a harmless segment on dog adoption on Wisconsin's NBC 15 that happened to feature an adorable German Shepherd on set.

Naturally, the dog was getting a lot of attention and as she finished up the piece, weatherman Charlie Shortino just haaaad to make a joke.

But not just any joke. Oh no. Take a look.

He just keeps on digging that hole, doesn't he. Why didn't he just stop talking?

Shortino's cringe-inducing attempt at humour has now gone viral - and his take on his joke's reception remains accurate.

“Well I crack myself up, if I don’t crack anyone else up.”
