History Main / HilariousOuttakes

* ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite'' has some downloadable voiceactor outtakes where, for example, the player's [[GoodAngelBadAngel conscience characters]] warn the player against using the in-game [=MP3=] player to play terrible music ("If you play Boyzone, your creature will vomit." "Believe me; if he plays Michael Bolton he'll actually *** himself. I know I will.") and [[LampshadeHanging demonstrating]] how [[TalkingToHimself both characters are played by the same actor]] by gradually having one character's voice morph to the other's, and back.

* A BlackComedy -esque example happened in UsefulNotes/{{Chile}} a few years ago. There was a child TV program called ''El Mundo del Profesor Rossa'' [[note]]Professor Rossa's World[[/note]] where said professor (real name Iván Arenas), together with ''Guru-Guru'' [[note]]some kind of fat ostrich[[/note]] and ''Don Cárter'' [[note]]a rather quirky postman[[/note]] explain educative, fun and interesting facts about nature and society; expect your standard child fare here. But off the record, these same characters used to smoke, drink tons of whiskey and swear very loudly and in enough quantities to make a sailor hide his head in shame. Some of the cameramen, together with some of the technicians, put out a videotape with some of the most dirty and hilarious outtakes and presented it to Arenas as a birthday gift. Bet you can imagine what would've happened were someone to upload the video to a public FTP.

* ''Machinima/ClearSkies'' animates their genuine bloopers for ''Clear Skies 3''.

* The creators of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' created scripted outtakes and line readings as special episodes, including a character in white armor as a director giving suggestions to the actors.

* The credits of ''Machinima/WaterHuman'' episode two. Also include some incredibly obscure inside jokes that the author had to explain in Website/YouTube comments.

** ''{{WesternAnimation/Brave}}'' follows suit and has a compilation of animation errors included as a DVD bonus feature titled "Wee Gaffes", such as Merida in a T-pose with her eyes bulging out of her head and her sleeves going perfectly straight at an angle below her arms.

* Much like the Pixar and [=DreamWorks=] error compilations listed above, ''{{WesternAnimation/Tangled}}'' also had a DVD feature of animation errors, specifically regarding the new program they used to animate Rapunzel's hair.

* ''WesternAnimation/JonahAVeggieTalesMovie'' had a series of outtakes that ended the VHS release, including The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything messing up their "Nothing, zilch, nada" line, Khalil falling off a cliff, and [[spoiler: a cameo by [=LarryBoy=]]].

* On Music/GreatBigSea's ''Great Big CD & DVD'', Alan Doyle begins a song with the wrong verse, stops singing, asks the audience for "your amnesia to forget that ever happened", and has Sean ask if he plans to sing it right this time. On the dvd you can see Darrell cuff him on the head.

* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', and ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' all had fully animated blooper reels (which were reels InUniverse as well) lasting 5 minutes each.

** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' had a compilation of animation errors put in as a bonus feature, such as a scene where Rex's head was swapped out with Andy's hand (yet still has Rex's teeth and eyes).

* The video magazine ''UsefulNotes/PlayStation Underground'' had an outtakes clip from a commercial where two older people mess up repeatedly during the filming of a Playstation commercial. It's hard to find by itself, but a few issues later ''PU'' let Mike and the Bots from ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' riff all of their opening segments, and ''[=MST3K=]'''s riffing took the already-funny segment UpToEleven. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Gi-QVudhA You can watch it here, the outtakes segment starts at 2:30]].

* A well-remembered [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQhwNtY3N2k 1969 Alka-Seltzer ad]] spoofs the concept, with a film crew ostensibly trying to shoot a commercial for spaghetti sauce, and the lead actor repeatedly flubbing the line "Mamma mia, that's a spicy meatball!"

* A good RealLife example would be Creator/OrsonWelles' now-infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb1KndrrXsY 1980 spot for Paul Masson wines]]. Welles had been doing ads for the company since 1978 without much issue, but for this particular one, he was genuinely and extremely [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFevH5vP32s inebriated]] for the shoot thanks to his penchant for lunchtime drinking, requiring the producers to edit his performance as best they could with Welles redubbing his own voice after the fact. Among other things, Welles misses his cue, heavily slurs his delivery, appears to forget his lines, and has to prop himself up with his arm because he was too drunk to sit up; you can even see the extras {{corpsing}} because of how ridiculous the situation was. After seeing the outtakes and rewatching the final ad, the overdubbing becomes [[HongKongDub incredibly obvious]].
** Another Orson Welles example would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V14PfDDwxlE a series of radio commercials]] he did for Findus food products circa 1970, best known as the "Frozen Peas" tape thanks to an ad for those being the first one in the recording session. As taping progresses, Welles, who apparently [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Took the Bad Commercial Seriously]], repeatedly stops to mock the copy he's supposed to read, complains about the director's instructions, gets increasingly agitated, and finally leaves the studio in disgust. The incident was later spoofed in episodes of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', all utilizing voice actor Creator/MauriceLaMarche's dead-on Welles impersonation.

* A commercial for insurance company Liberty Mutual has a struggling actor try to explain how the company helps him with financial breaks. Then he goes on to show why he's struggling through multiple takes which show him flubbing his lines or offering useless suggestions for the take. They finally get someone else to dub over his line.

* Music/ReelBigFish's ''Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album'' with a cover of Music/TheCure's "Boys Don't Cry, subtitled "Trainwreck" as it falls to bits halfway through.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': When Penny and Bolt repeatedly flub their lines during a filming session in “The Cameo,” Mindy Parker indicates that the footage will be used for an end-of-movie gag reel, saying “And the screw-ups? That’s blooper gold right there. Perfect for the end credits.”

* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', and ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' all had fully animated blooper reels(which were reels InUniverse as well) lasting 5 minutes each.

* Much like the Pixar and [=DreamWorks=] error compilations listed above, ''{{WesternAnimation/Tangled}}'' also had a DVD feature of animation errors, specifically regarding the new program they used to animate [[RapunzelHair Rapunzel's hair]].

** This is reflected in the ''Comic/{{Zatanna}}'' comic where she appears in ''Series/SesameStreet'' despite her [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes fear of puppets]]; when she throws up in Oscar's trash can, the VomitDiscretionShot shows horrified kids and and a Muppeteer, who is also taking the time to have his character react.

->''"Damn! He ain't gonna be in ''Film/RushHour3!''"''

* A few of the downloadable "Quotes of the Week" on the mainpage at ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' were flubbed lines from the various cartoons, often with the VA corpsing.

* A small sub-genre of the AlternateUniverseFic is the "Actor AU", usually a series of fanart/comics that portray the characters of a show as actors who are in the midst of pranking each other on set or screwing up.

* From 1970, here's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrXfK9Osmvs legendarily contentious (and very much NSFW) session]] by UK rock band The Troggs (of "Wild Thing" fame). To make it even funnier, the song they're attempting to record is called [[{{Irony}} "Tranquility"]].

* In 2006 to attack al Zarqawi's credibility, the US military released bloopers from Iraq's (then) Al Qaeda leader's films, showing clips that had not been released by Al Qaeda. It showed him incorrectly operating a machine gun, and then having to get help to clear the weapon when it jammed as a result.

Naturally, outtakes (sometimes also known as 'bloopers', and professionally called a 'gag reel'), are not always appreciated (or welcome) in all situations. Let's face it, at times it's downright ''embarrassing'' to screw up, and many actors feel that publishing a string of 'goofs' is demeaning and makes them look unprofessional.[[note]]After all, how would you like your workplace to put your big mistakes of the year on the company website for all to see?[[/note]] Many directors don't want the tone of a drama changed by people remembering moments from the blooper reel when they watch the movie again. Creator/PeterSellers is believed to have blamed the decision to include a gag reel to the end of ''Film/BeingThere'' for his failure to win an Oscar for the film.

The viewers, however, love a good blooper reel. ''Everyone'' can identify with saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or having to try something over and over again that is just not going right. Plus, with the general popularity of DVD and Blu-ray featurettes that pull back the curtain on film and TV production, outtake reels are considered a complimentary part of all that. Because of this many movies will toss in a blooper reel on the DVD, even if it isn't a very ''good'' blooper reel, and media in which outtakes are unlikely ([[AnimatedOuttakes such as animation]]) it's not uncommon for a reel of fake outtakes to be created from whole cloth - since these are created intentionally for comedic purposes, they're often even funnier. Most news stations run a blooper reel at the end of the year, and in this age of [=DVRs=] and Internet, many bloopers end up on Website/YouTube before the nightly news is even over. TV shows and movies dubbed into another language always fall victim to these because the actors often need to perform to already-completed footage, which is difficult and heightens the chance of them royally screwing up a take. Bonus points if said actors have a background in improv and can make an outtake SoBadItsGood.

-->Psst. You. Yes, you. I see what you're doing. Ripping XA Audio from the CD, illegally listening to it without legitimately finishing the game. You wanted to hear those outtakes so bad, you couldn't wait. [[EvilFeelsGood I like that.]] Cheating is good. You know when you cheated on that test in school and thought nobody was looking? I saw it and I remember. When you lied to your parents and you thought you got away with it - you didn't. [[EvilFeelsGood But I liked it.]] And now you're cheating with XA Audio. Where does it stop?! It doesn't! That's the best part! I have a place just for you. A nice warm place right at my side. [[EvilLaugh Hahahaha. MWAHAHAHA!]]

* Franchise/TheMuppetShow are known for staying in character after outtakes and having the puppets react rather than the puppeteer. This is especially funny when a puppet's head falls off and all the others in the scene react in utter horror.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': For the Blu-ray release, the Genie's supervising animator, Creaotr/EricGoldberg, made an animatic of several unused snippets from Creator/RobinWilliams' recording sessions. [[https://vimeo.com/141346297 Watch and howl]].

--->'''Carl Lumbly (Brother Marcion)''': "Your markings... Do something that is further down on the prompter."
--->'''Crew''': "We lost the prompter for a second."
--->'''Carl''': "But... You're not coming in. That's the long and the short of it."

* Music/TheBeatles' ''Anthology 2'' includes a vocal overdub session for "And Your Bird Can Sing" in which Paul and John...well..[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjvcLO3QRko get a little silly]].
