History Main / HilariousOuttakes

'''Archer:''' "Do you hear something? *kneels on the floor* It's coming from under the deck plating, but every time I get close to it I have to start the scene over." (T'Pol breaks into laughter)

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9pKxIh15Hk This promo]] for ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' shows an "outtake" where Drakken goes off-script to improvise, gettting into an argument with Shego while Kim tries to encourage them back to work.

* ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' has got to have some of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4D7yXmiWfw funniest]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyO2V2ks204 outtakes]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU1IQRpmuDA ever]] committed to film:

** The part when the candle breaks off the wall at the wrong moment is also hilarious, as is Orlando's numerous attempts at flipping the sword.

** Johnny Depp leans into the frame and fussily adjusts a lock of hair on Jack Davenport's forehead, to which he replies "Thanks, dear." [[HoYay And they wonder why people write fic.]]

** What makes some of them even funnier is that JohnnyDepp ''never'' breaks character, even when he flubs his lines.
** In ''On Stranger Tides'', helicopters keep flying over head. Both times this happens, the actors casually point them out in some form or other ''completely'' in character.
--->'''Johnny Depp:''' What I want first...''(chopper sounds overhead)'' is Ponce de Leon's helicopter.

There are also individual programmes made up entirely of outtakes, e.g. ''It'll be Alright on the Night'' (an ITV series hosted by Denis Norden, hence the page quote), ''Auntie's Bloomers'' (taken from Auntie Beeb, an old-fashioned nickname for TheBBC) and ''TVsBloopersAndPracticalJokes'', a long running series hosted by DickClark.

* The page quote comes from ''{{Bottom}}'' being a reference to a British Christmas blooper show hosted by Denis Norden. Amazingly there were out-takes from ''{{Bottom}}'' that were OK for Christmas family viewing.
** ''It'll Be Alright on the Night'' (the blooper show hosted by Denis Norden) wasn't necessarily broadcast during Christmas (some were, others weren't). The quote is a descendant of the cry of "Merry Christmas VT", back when the [=VideoTape=] [editing] departments at the BBC and ITV compiled "Christmas Tapes" for their own amusement during the festive season. These tapes were partly original sketches, partly outakes (usually of the sweary kind), and partly gratuitous nudity. An example is the start of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJeH2T1irvU 1979 BBC vt Christmas Tape]] ({{NSFW}}). I don't have a clue if any Bottom outakes did appear on ''It'll Be Alright...'', although there was the "Bottom Fluff" outakes VHS tape.
*** The above scene was in fact used as an introduction to an ''It'll Be Alright on the Night'' -- it's a scene where Rik Mayall's character is trying to help a glamorous-looking woman put on a fancy necklace but can't get the necklace fastened. The "Merry Christmas, Denis Norden," then transitioned into an animated introduction with the saxophone-heavy Rod Argent theme playing, so it's from that era.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has some great gag and blooper reels in the DVD sets. Nothing tops "Supernatural presents Creator/JensenAckles" shown at the end of the episode "Yellow Fever." Clip [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVDZ08oH3Oo here]]

** And Sean Astin's "I just wanted to get a bit of a close up!" bit is awesome.

* The DVD bonus features of ''Film/MaryPoppins'' include an outtake in which DickVanDyke lip-syncs to a recording of JulieAndrews singing "Chim-Chim-Cheree", after which Andrews lip-syncs to Van Dyke's recording.

* The bloopers for the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' are ''unbelievably funny''. So much so that to list the funniest ones would be impossible considering all of them are complete gold. Seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoRHoxN4KKo here]].

* For its CGI-animation feature ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', {{Creator/Pixar}} actually animated outtakes from the actors' recording sessions, and ran the fake bloopers under the end credits. (See AnimatedActors.) They later did the same with ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' -- Disney even removed the outtakes from ''Monsters, Inc.'', then put them in after the film had been out for three weeks, to incite audiences to go see it again. After a while, Pixar decided they were in danger of falling into formula, so they did away with the outtakes, starting with ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.

* The dub bloopers of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCqgOdluxa0 Blue Exorcist]]. Who couldn't laugh at [[KyleHebert Ryuji's]] impersonation of Arnold Schwarzenegger & [[JohnnyYongBosh Yukio]]'s response on a jibblish call.

---> '''Kaoru''': I like to have a word with you...[[CampGay Alone...]]]

** Teacher Kaoru can act a bit gay in this outtake

** Kaoru can act a bit gay in this outtake

* In the credits of ''Film/WereTheMillers'', one is a prank on JenniferAniston, during the "Waterfalls" scene...only they replace "Waterfalls" with [[ActorAllusion the theme from]] ''Series/{{Friends}}''.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyrSjzrrjG0 Once Upon a Time]] bloopers. Featuring an upside down contract, a lost card, Emma Stone, a pooping bird, Regina being a big fat liar, and an evil laugh from Gold which really should have made the final cut.

* If you see any of ''{{The X-Files}}'' gag reels, at least 30% of it will involve Gillian Anderson laughing uncontrollably. Apparently she is a notorious giggler.

* The special features on the Season 2 DVD of LawAndOrderUK include a 10-minute gag-reel. Most of the clips are typical--flubbed lines, malfunctioning props, etc. But the apogee is a botched scene where Detectives Devlin and Brooks are interviewing a witness. Distracted by the loud music playing in the background, JamieBamber begins struggling not to laugh before finally cracking up, declaring, "I'm sorry; I can't fucking do this". Knowing that the take is no good anyway, Bradley Walsh begins dancing to the music, all the while ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome still saying his lines with a straight face]]'' as though this is completely normal, pretending not to notice that the other actors--Bamber and the kid playing the witness are literally doubled over--are laughing hysterically.

** ''{{Anchorman}}'' snuck one of the outtakes of Burt Reynolds from ''SmokeyAndTheBandit II'' in with the outtakes from the feature.

** Director Hal Needham's films with Burt Reynolds, beginning with ''{{Hooper}}'' in 1978, popularized this trope.

** ''{{Anchorman}}'' - and they parodied the practice by sneaking in one of the outtakes of Burt Reynolds from ''Smokey and the Bandit II''.

** ''SmokeyAndTheBandit II'' and both ''CannonballRun'' films, which shared a star (BurtReynolds) and director (HalNeedham), may well be the popularizer of the trope on film in the early 1980s.
*** ''TheState'' recreated the Cannonball Run bloopers ''word for word'' in one closing sketch.

->'''Tucker:''' Damn! He ain't gonna be in ''Rush Hour 3!''
-->--''Film/RushHour2''

* ''NewZooRevue'' has a very infamous blooper reel too, in which Freddy the Frog tells Charlie the Owl to go fuck himself, and then goes on to call him a "faggot." Despite claiming this was based on just the one time he caught him with his cousin Orson, Freddy claims that Charlie wanted him for the whole series. And since it's all out, the two suited characters engage in homoerotic sexual activities. Anyway you can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfxayTFX8qY

Set 2

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, in this age of [=DVRs=] and Internet, many bloopers end up on 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.
