Executives at TV2 did not appreciate the joke, and fired Mr Horvath

A Hungarian TV weatherman has been fired after pretending to pass wind during a forecast about upcoming breezy weather.

Szilard Horvath used recorded fart noises to make a joke about 'windy weather', however his performance appears to have fallen flat with his employers.

The TV2 channel swiftly removed the offending clip from its website and fired Mr Horvath.

Mr Horvath later took to social media to complain about the TV executives lack of humour, comparing his fart stunt to Mr Bean.

'If Mr Bean or Benny Hill farts, everyone laughs, but now a big deal is being made about this,' Horvath wrote on Facebook afterwards, admitting that the stunt was his idea.

'It's turned out I can't do the weather on TV2 anymore... I need to find work,' he posted on Monday, alongside a 'feeling broken' emoticon.

Mr Horvath is not the only controversial weather man to get in trouble for his on-camera antics in recent weeks.

Charlie Shortino, a weatherman on a local television channel in Wisconsin, United States, appears to remain in employment despite telling a female co-worker that she and a dog she was petting should 'get a room'

Mr Shortino made the comment after NBC-15's 'Pet of the Week' segment in which his colleague said: 'OK Charlie, I'm gonna sit here and hang out with my new best friend,' during her handover.

'Really? I think you two should get a, uh, get a hotel room or something,' Mr Shortino remarked about his colleague and the dog.

'That's a lot of action going on over there. Probably the most action you've had in months, huh?' the weatherman added.
