Brian Fantana: I think I was in love once.
Ron Burgundy: Really? What was her name?
Brian Fantana: I don't remember.
Ron Burgundy: That's not a good start, but keep going.
Brian Fantana: She was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again.
Ron Burgundy: I'm pretty sure that's not love.
Brian Fantana: Damn it!
Before the big brawl between the rival news crews there are a number of shots where the sun is nearly setting and a second or so later will be right back up. The most notable one is just after Ben Stiller's Spanish language crew arrive there is an aerial shot with the sun very bright. In the next shot of Tim Robbins the shadow has become much more noticeable. See more...
starring Christina Applegate, Fred Willard, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell (add more)
Before the cut to the restaurant scene in which all the newsroom ladies are dining and the suggestion is planted to play with the teleprompter, the name of the restaurant can be seen on a neon sign. Part of the sign, in Spanish, says "We spit in your food."
Brick kills a rival reporter by throwing a trident in a scene lifted from the first gladiator fight in Spartacus (1960).
In the brawl, the two horsemen with the net between them come after Brian and drag him. This shot (and the accompanying music) comes straight from the Planet of the Apes, the original release.
Ron Burgundy's dog is named Baxter. A tribute perhaps to the character made famous by Ted Knight on the hit 1970's sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show in which Knight plays a pompous, dimwitted TV news anchorman named Ted Baxter.
When Ed announces that a woman is coming to work at the station, Brick panics because he has heard that bears are attracted to the smell of their periods. Believe it or not, this is actually true about lions.
Near the beginning when Champ is reporting at the Panda exhibit, there is a sign with bamboo and a panda on it. It would appear that the panda is pole dancing (a dancing move common in strip bars) on the bamboo.
Near the end Ron is in a bar singing. At the end of the bar table near the door is Jerry Stiller, the father of Ben Stiller (who has a cameo in the gang fight scene).
