It's August – despite it being 2017, the news can be just a little bit thinner at this time of year. Still, that didn't stop BBC News' Simon McCoy showing his frustration while reading this news item about dog surfing:
.@BBCSimonMcCoy providing all the enthusiasm this story about surfing dogs deserves.
This took place on the BBC News Channel just before 4pm.
And a lot of people are *here* for it.
There is contempt for the trivialisation of news, and then there is this by the magnificent @BBCSimonMcCoy https://t.co/jiXPi9Agy8
Give @BBCSimonMcCoy an award for professionalism under the toughest circumstances. What a hero. https://t.co/BSJVt1EbVU
McCoy you total legend @BBCSimonMcCoy still can't breath 😂 https://t.co/WDA2AJuyo3
Just look at his face as he reads out the news.
Remember, this is the same Simon McCoy who came out with such sass when all of the world's media was waiting for the Duchess of Cambridge to give birth.
(His honesty was so damn refreshing.)
And this is the same Simon McCoy who once started a bulletin holding a whole packet of photocopier paper.
AND this is the same Simon McCoy who couldn't stop his shock when a BBC News breakdancing routine went wrong at the very end.
OH MY GOD THIS JUST HAPPENED ON THE BBC NEWS CHANNEL
God bless Simon McCoy.
