''Manitowoc[[note]]pronounced "MAN-tuh-wock"[[/note]] Minute'', self-styled as "the number 1 most reliable news show in the [[FlyoverCountry Midwest]]", is a satirical Website/{{YouTube}} news show created by UsefulNotes/{{Wisconsin}}ite comedian Charlie Berens. It is hosted by the Manitowoc Minute Man( played by Berens himself).

According to Berens, the Manitowoc Minute Man character was developed out of his experiences as a local TV news anchor. He decided that to create the character he would take everything people said he was doing wrong(primarily his thick Wisconsin accent) and [[ExaggeratedTrope amplify it]], creating a caricature of the average Midwesterner in the process.

* KentBrockmanNews: The Manitowoc Minute Man frequently digresses into anecdotes about his personal life, which are all usually stereotypically Midwestern things to do(ice fishing for walleyes, hunting deer, drinking Old Fashions, etc.) He's also not the most professional of newscasters, often adding his personal opinions into the mix.
