Bloopers

Robert Gilmartin, a true visionary ahead of his time. Here's a classic news blooper that displays how we personally feel every news broadcast should conclude.

Some of the more infamous moments of Orson Welles professional oeuvre came when he gave into the world of commercials. For the uninitiated, Welles acted in ads for stuff from peas to cement, and he was featured in a string of successful Paul Masson wine commercials between 1978 and 1981. Most notably, it's speculated that a few extra drinks at lunch led to the set of wondrous outtakes in this ad for Paul Masson's French Champagne.

Technical difficulties at BBC in June 2017 resulted in an impressive marathon-style news cluster-F where we got to watch the anchor have what looks like a silent existential conversation with himself for over 4 minutes. The interspersed "BREAKING NEWS" interjections give it a sense of timing fit for a sketch comedy show.

These awkward freudian slip ups are our new favorite kind of news bloopers. Some cringeworthy gold in these. 

That there is some good childhood. In some old outtakes from the show, we've got Robin Williams doing improv with a stick that's slightly too adult for children, meanwhile Elmo has an innocent screw up and can't handle the shame.

Nothing beats trained professionals absolutely bombing it on live TV. These are the worst (or best?) of the worst! 

I'll be the first to admit, 'you the real MVP' has quickly become one of the more painfully overused compliments thrown around.

In this fail-themed compilation of live news segments gone spectacularly wrong, Bill Murray is the shining beacon of unforgiving brilliance, the realest MVP, when he rains down sweet savagery on an irritating reporter during their interview. 

Sometimes, a video comes along that perfectly encapsulates the culture. At one point, it was “Charlie Bit My Finger.” Then came “The Sneezing Baby Panda” and, of course, “Drummer at the Wrong Gig.” 

Now, in 2017, is the time of the “White Bear Mitsubishi’s Gopher Hockey Outtakes — White Bear on Ice.”

This video delivers. You want to see a bear mascot slipping on ice over and over? Well, you got it. The description asks “How many takes to have a White Bear not slip on the ice during a commercial shoot?” But the real question is how many times can we ask. The answer: As many as it takes.

Enjoy this video, bookmark this video, and watch it whenever you’re feeling a little blue.

This is your failsafe.
