Fox News’ Bret Baier Humiliates Himself With Rap Performance: ‘The Flow Of A Clogged Porta Potty’

Fox News anchor Bret Baier, known for his serious and composed political commentary, may never live down his cringe-worthy rap performance that has the internet buzzing. In a moment that shocked viewers, Baier took the stage to perform Sugarhill Gang’s iconic hip-hop track, “Rapper’s Delight,” and quickly became the subject of mockery after his performance fell flat in every conceivable way.

Baier, usually seen in his signature suit, donned a more relaxed, untucked white collared shirt, tan pants, and black shoes for the performance. His attempt to bring some fun energy to the stage, however, backfired, as he struggled with the rhythm and flow of the song. The video, which quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), captured Baier prancing around on stage, looking like he was having a good time—but unfortunately, the audience wasn’t sharing in his excitement.

The Critics Weigh In

Baier’s lack of rhythm became apparent almost immediately, and it wasn’t long before social media users started to roast him for the performance. One commenter hit the nail on the head, writing, “Brother has all the flow of a clogged porta potty,” summing up the awkwardness of the moment. Others piled on, poking fun at Baier’s attempt to rap and questioning his musical choices.

Another user jokingly suggested that Baier should issue an apology to the creators of “Rapper’s Delight” for the “abomination” he had just unleashed. “Baier needs to make amends with the song’s creators before it’s too late,” they said, adding fuel to the fire.

While the majority of comments were filled with humorous jabs at Baier’s rapping skills, one wise commenter chose to distance themselves from the chaos entirely, writing, “Oh no no no. I will not be lured into pressing play. I am taking my dog for a walk and forgetting I saw this.”

Baier’s Attempt at Fun

The performance itself, though clearly well-meaning, didn’t have the desired impact. Baier’s attempt to inject some fun into the moment, possibly to connect with a different audience, ultimately became a viral spectacle for all the wrong reasons.

While he may have been aiming for lightheartedness and a touch of fun, the results were far from it. The now-infamous clip has left fans questioning whether Baier will ever consider another stage performance—at least without a backup dancer or a better rhythm.

A Turning Point for Baier?

It’s safe to say that Bret Baier’s rap performance will go down as one of the most memorable—and embarrassing—moments in his career. The video has exploded across social media, and despite Baier’s intentions, the critics have had the last laugh.

Baier, who’s built a reputation for being an anchor and political analyst, might want to stick to his strengths—because when it comes to rapping, he’s certainly no Sugarhill Gang member. As the internet continues to revel in the mishap, one thing is clear: some performances are best left to the professionals.
