History Main / HilariousOuttakes

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 (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. 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.

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. 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. PeterSellers is believed to have blamed the decision to include a gag reel to the end of ''BeingThere'' for his failure to win an Oscar for the film.

** The best one of all has to be from Two Towers: during the scene in Osgiliath, there's one take where David Whenham (Faramir) looks up and screams "NAZGUL!!!" The camera pans up and a 747 flys by overhead. Cue all of the actors falling over laughing.

* DCDouglas parodies this by making a VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p52-QBTXZyM outtake reel]].

** When [[spoiler:Ling/Greed]] was sacrificing himself to stop father, it shows everyone screaming his name or begging him not to die. Then [[JohnSwasey Van Hohenheim]] is shown screaming, "Fuck him up!"

* The gag reel for ''Film/TheAvengers'' features, apart from the usual equipment and dialogue flubs, Creator/TomHiddleston's Creator/AlanRickman impression, Clark Gregg remembering [[PulpFiction a previous role]] of SamuelLJackson's, and for the Hulk's [[BigDamnHeroes Big Dang Heroes]] scene [[spoiler:Mark Ruffalo instead says ScrewThisImOuttaHere and runs in terror.]]

* ''Lizzie Maguire'' would end each episode with several outtakes by the characters, and usually, one "outtake" by the animated character.

*** The automatic sliding doors were a constant issue in all the incarnations of Star Trek, as it was more cost effective to have two crew members open the doors on cue... but they often missed their cues.

** Even better ones were seen in the other outakes such as Londo pausing in the middle of a blockade run to read a road map.

-->There once was a woman from Q

* ''Sev Trek: Puss in Boots'' (an Australian spoof of ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'') had a phoney blooper real with the CGI actors.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2di2Q1AkSL0 Another one]] has AlexKingston (Corday) [[LesYay kissing]] Laura Innes (Weaver) completely out of the blue. And this isn't a peck. This is a full-on, Hays-code-breaking smooch. Anthony Edwards' reaction is hilarious.

!!Examples

* ''HaveIGotNewsForYou'' has started airing a ten-minute longer cut (''HaveIGotABitMoreNewsForYou'') the day after the original, which includes a lot of bloopers along with other cut footage.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has some great gag and blooper reels in the DVD sets. Nothing tops "Supernatural presents Jensen Ackles" shown at the end of the episode "Yellow Fever." Clip [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVDZ08oH3Oo here]]
** The addition of [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] RealLife {{Troll}} MishaCollins to the cast has only increased this, particularly because Jared likes to grope him a lot: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAOYlS1SeAk There's a foot on my balls right now. Just FYI."]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWgQMZDfaM IanMckellen forgets his line]], and never breaks character

** A particularly hilarious outtake is, in typical Working Designs fashion, hidden on the disc of LunarEternalBlue if you try and access the outtakes through [[http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/CD-ROM-XA XA Audio]] instead of waiting to finish the game to listen to them. It can be listened to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDunXSSQu9o here]].

* ''Mario Power Tennis'' for the GameCube featured two different sets of bloopers depending on the Cup finished and the credits rolling. The bloopers were based on the opening sequence [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoZ_Mwc7lNE&feature=related here]].

* The US release of ''WeissKreuz'' and its sequel series ''Weiss Kreuz: Gluhen'' both include outtakes from the dubbing process. The outtakes from the original series in particular are occasionally rather revealing, as the voice actors are sometimes obviously reacting in surprise to what's happening in the animation, having clearly never seen it before that recording session. ("Oh my God! He gets...does he get killed?...oh my God!") The outtakes also feature Christopher Yates making a RunningGag of introducing the teams targets as celebrities they resemble ("David Carradine, Kojak, and that guy from Music/DuranDuran").
