If you’re in need of a good laugh (or, heck, even if you’re not), you’ve gotta watch the above video of Channel 9 newsreader Eva Milic collapsing into a fit of giggles during a live broadcast of Queensland’s afternoon news.
The story that cracked her? A little Chinese boy who had to be cut free by firefighters after getting his head stuck inside a sofa.
Okay, we’ll admit a kid wearing furniture like a hat is pretty amusing. But nowhere near as hilarious as Milic’s reaction.
It began as a polite chuckle (“Sorry – I’m still trying to work out how this happened”), which quickly descended into full-blown giggles as she described his rescuers attacking the sofa with scissors.
Milic tried to move on with the bulletin, spluttering her way through a preview of upcoming stories before eventually admitting defeat.
“Donald Trump finally sticking to the script…. I think we better just take the break,” she managed through laughter.
The footage soon surfaced on YouTube where one commenter labelled it, “one of the funniest moments on TV this year so far.”
We’re inclined to agree.
Now, how long until the auto-tune remix?

Haha - love it :))
The bit I find odd. If all it took was a pair of scissors to remove him, wouldn't the people in the beauty salon have tried that first? Or did they call for firefighters as soon as the child got stuck? I mean there would have been a number of pairs of scissors already there to use, and I'm no expert admittedly in rescues, but as a parent it does seem like a logical thing to do to attempt to cut around where his head is stuck, so that there is a bigger gap for him to pull his head out of.
I'm pretty sure hairdressers feel the same way about their scissors as people who sew do - they are NEVER used to cut anything other than hair/fabric! But you would think there might be a pair for general use in the office or something!
They may not have felt confident enough to but the boy out without hurting him, and felt it was safer to get professionals on the job.
