2[[caption-width-right:350:Lights, camera, ''animate!''[[note]]This is the one of [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 two times]] you'll see ''Franchise/ToyStory'' and ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' together in the same scene.[[/note]]]]

4->''"In live action filmmaking, outtakes actually produce themselves. In animation, outtakes have to be produced. "''
5-->-- '''Phil Vischer''', on the outtakes for ''WesternAnimation/JonahAVeggieTalesMovie''
6
7Lots of live-action TV shows and films produce outtakes, as do audio works, live performances, and all kinds of other media where physical, existing things, are involved.
8
9Of course, the animated world isn't ''real''. Ergo, the only things that exist in it are what was intended to exist, OffModel notwithstanding: Given the difficulty in well animating lengthy projects, this is normally only what is necessary [[ClipShow (and sometimes not even that)]].
10
11Then you get some people who [[RuleOfFunny will do anything if it's fun]]. They make [[TitleDrop Animated Outtakes]].

19[[folder:Advertising]]
20* A series of yoghurt commercials is a "behind-the-scenes" making-of featuring animated yoghurt bottles messing up by being too lively (the yoghurt is supposed to give you energy, of course).
21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18koUcXnIFs The Burger King Whopper Commercial]] featuring [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]]. Nuff said.
22* The ads for Japanese convenience store chain Family Mart starring [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] has these. They include Miku getting distracted by birds and having her voice break while singing the jingle. Two of the bloopers might even be real, which is an actor sneezing as well as a man walking out of the store and interrupting the shot, but Miku is still animated in them to preserve the realism.
23* ''Advertising/DairyQueenLips'': The ads are in CGI. The ad featuring the Girl Scout has a blooper reel - the first three bloopers are simple mess-ups (the girl forgets her line, forgets her box of cookies, and then trips while talking to the Lips), while the fourth has the Lips seemingly cracking under pressure and yanking the cookies from the girl.
24[[/folder]]
25
26[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
27* The creators of ''Anime/Berserk1997'' released bloopers, but these are actually the voice acting outtakes on top of the correct animation... and then at the end they have the animated characters in a "scene" apologizing.
28* During the credits of the final episode of ''Manga/ChiosSchoolRoad'', the animators had a little fun and showed some made-up mishaps, such as Chio missing the suitcase jump in episode one or Andou falling over while catching Chio.
29* On ''Anime/KillLaKill'', the mistakes made by the English voice actors were made into animated versions, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fd4UFoODdo shown at AnimeExpo]].
30** ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' would do the same at the next [=AnimeExpo=].
31* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' gets into the act for a special episode during [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY the XY series]] in which they make a movie starring numerous Pikachu.
32* Volumes of ''Manga/MagicKaito'' end with extra panels revealing that the entire series is a TV show in-universe, and the first volume also features 4komas depicting a blooper from each chapter. In a amusing example, one of them reveals that the princess from chapter 2 is actually the same actress who plays Aoko wearing a blonde wig and fake eyebrows.
33[[/folder]]
34
35[[folder:Comic Strips]]
36* ''ComicStrip/MadamAndEve'': [[http://www.madamandeve.co.za/cartoons/me002606.gif One strip]] is presented as a blooper reel of multiple past strips, with the final panel claiming it's a commercial for a (non-existent) DVD of bloopers from the comic.

40* For ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', {{Creator/Pixar}} had the voice actors record new dialogue as if the characters were messing up their lines or breaking character (see AnimatedActors). They later did the same with ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' -- the outtakes for the latter two weren't originally part of the movie, but were then put them in after the film had been out for a month or so, 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''. Information (and videos) on these outtakes can be viewed [[http://pixar.wikia.com/Outtakes here]].
41** In the case of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'', it had one during the ending credits, including (amongst other things) Randall being tricked into chameleoning himself into a painting (which he finds ActuallyPrettyFunny), Roz suddenly appearing in scenes she's not supposed to be in, everyone falling over in the TeamPowerWalk scene (but still in slow motion, including the monster yelling "Cut!") and a few line flubs that may have been genuine.
42** ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' has a "bloopers" segment as a DVD extra. Some of the segments are this trope (like a bit where Elastigirl swings from the monorail car and smacks into a pylon), while others are legitimate animation errors (like a bit where the physics go wonky and make Violet's hair fly around wildly). None of these bits are fully rendered, and the deliberate jokes are little more than animatics. The whole thing comes across like a compilation the animators made to amuse themselves, which somehow got released to the public afterwards.
43* Many ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' movies use this, though they're animated in the exact same way as the rest of the movie rather than the rough takes or animatics of other animated bloopers. ''Barbie in a Mermaid Tale'' abused the hell out of this for the DVD release: it features outtakes for ''scenes that don't even appear elsewhere on the DVD''.
44%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9DcLABeX0Y The blooper reel]] for ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear''. Try to watch 1:19 without completely losing it.
45* ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' has a hilarious fake gag reel on the DVD release, including such gems as Gray stumbling and "accidentally" shooting Aki. As well as the cast performing the "Music/{{Thriller}}" dance.
46* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': For the Blu-ray release, the animators made a short blooper reel. Most memorably, the "Rafiki drops infant Simba" gag, already overdone in various parodies, was officially done. Many of the outtakes were designed around voice acting errors. The original character animators even got to reanimate their scenes.
47%%* ''Lissi und der Wilde Kaiser'' was given these, because bloopers are tradition with Bully Herbig films.
48* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
49** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wzPCQyaPA8 A "blooper reel"]] exists for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames''. Highlights include Fluttershy [[BagOfHolding fitting a ridiculous number of animals in her backpack]], Principal Cinch indulging in SwivelChairAntics, and Rainbow Dash going flying atop [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic her pony counterpart]].
50** [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4zfrl0 They made another one]] for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree''. Alongside the usual assortment of bungled lines, it features Timber Spruce in Groucho glasses, Pinkie going off on a long tangent as to how to pronounce the past tense of "glow", a cameo by Maud Pie -- and Boulder -- and Sunset taking another trip to [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness "Pinkie-Land"]].
51* ''WesternAnimation/JonahAVeggieTalesMovie'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBdoHZaj84g animated bloopers]] on the DVD bonus content, which makes sense with the series' sense of the different characters being actors in the main series. Notable ones include [[AnachronismStew a plane passing above ancient Israel]], Larryboy being on the clothesline that snags the van, Junior and Laura laughing when they should have been arguing, and Jonah falling off a cliff [[spoiler:but luckily he landed in the safety net]]. There's also an EasterEgg video exclusively of different lines for the talking Jonah plush toy.
52-->'''Jonah:''' [[Series/SesameStreet Tickle Me Prophet! Tickle Me Prophet!]]
53* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' features one of these, including a funny rant by Morgan Freeman which ended up being used in the main film. Another features Batman chastising himself for using rather outdated terms and Unikitty getting a bit carried away with her lines until her actress Alison Brie breaks character and starts laughing.
54* The end credits of ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolfTheSuperAdventure'' have bloopers playing in them. Example scenes include one of the Black Bull Kingdom bacteria cheating at RockPaperScissors by quickly changing from rock to scissors to avoid the White Bull Kingdom bacteria's paper, Wolnie and Wilie having a barbecue using the fire from Wolffy's InfernalBackground, and Cha Cha going to the bathroom after consuming Wolffy, leaving him in a pile of blue feces.
55* The end credits of ''Anime/StandByMeDoraemon'' feature a reel that mostly consists of slapstick mishaps, since it silently played over the ending song. One scene involving the title character coming out of his portal drawer apparently took 50 takes.
56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
59* ''Traumschiff Surprise'' has various bloopers at the end of the film, but one of them is the animated alien dancing to the theme song.
60* ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'': In a [[EasterEgg hidden]] blooper reel, outtakes of Jar-Jar scenes have...well...Jar-Jar. Seems appropriate, considering the DeletedScenes found elsewhere also have new special effects added in.
61[[/folder]]
62
63[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
64* ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'': The animated version of Lizzie, who narrates some parts of the show as a {{Talking Head|s}}, gets bloopers at the end of the episode with all the real characters, too. Given that some of the animated segments included in the episode deliberately portray the cartoon Lizzie as clumsy and frequently messing-up, the outtakes are typically messing up words, facing the wrong way, or being "pranked" by the crew.
65[[/folder]]

67[[folder:Video Games]]
68* Happens if you get the 101% run on ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZihf09JkLU You can see it here]].
69* ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'': Hold down the special attacks during certain cutscenes.
70* The [=PS2=] version of ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' has some DummiedOut voice lines like this with animations to go with them, put to video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09pIWNW1o3w here]].
71* ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Ultra'' features a "Special-Edition Blooper Reel" unlocked after clearing [[NintendoHard The True]] [[BossRush Arena]]. It features almost all of the game's CGI cutscenes being flubbed in some way, complete with LaughTrack. The real not-making-this-uppery comes when you learn that said video contains some genuinely funny material.
72* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': Riot Games released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6CRamuAkXc a couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFy7ocHocd4 outtake videos]] for the game's very first promotional cinematic, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzMnCv_lPxI "Welcome to League of Legends"]]. Highlights include Master Yi [[DistractedByTheSexy ogling Katarina's breasts instead of fighting her]] and receiving a GroinAttack from her as retribution, Cho'Gath coughing up a minion he ate, and Ryze distracting [[BeastMan the jackal-man]] Nasus [[AllAnimalsAreDogs with a tennis ball]].
73* ''VideoGame/MarioPowerTennis'' features some unlockable cutscenes that are presented as out-takes from the game's opening cinematic.
74* ''VideoGame/PacManWorld 1'' has a set of these unlocked upon beating the game, including things like Pac-Man accidentally choking on the Power Pellet he eats in the ending cutscene or Toc-Man's foot [[AgonyOfTheFeet being on the receiving end of a falling stage light]].
75-->'''Toc-Man:''' '''OWW!''' That thing almost ''killed me''! Medic!
76* ''VideoGame/UnchartedGoldenAbyss'' had a hidden cutscene on Chapter 31 if one would play through the game on the hardest unlockable difficulty. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSwHuinIpyc It's fantastic]].
77* The ending of ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' shows characters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCixCeO00zQ#t=1m56s shooting]] the Warcraft 2 [[CutscenePowerToTheMax cinematic]] where a footman [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc_MiZlz6gE#t=0m23s slices a catapult's rope and destroy a zeppelin]]. Needless to say, it requires many takes, Archimonde is a [[BadBoss Bad Director]] with a penchant for YouHaveFailedMe, sheep, dragons...
78* ''VideoGame/{{Worms}} 4: Mayhem'' has several hilarious outtakes; and in the ''Ultimate Mayhem'' remake, it has been given voice acting and also features some flubs from Creator/GuyHarris.
79* ''VideoGame/StarWarsBountyHunter'' included [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIqTttF7AYE animated outtakes]] as unlockable bonus content every time the player completed one of the game's six chapters. The most memorable ones included Creator/ClancyBrown [[LargeHam goofing off in the recording booth]], a ridiculous dance number, and a TakeThat at Creator/GeorgeLucas's infamous directing style.
80* The [[MultipleEndings Good and Good+ endings]] of ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' added these to the ending credits, with cutscenes from the game played with the characters (most of whom are dead [[FateWorseThanDeath or worse]] by now) goofing around like actors having a bit of fun on the set. Given the horrifying nature of the story you've literally just completed, it creates ''major'' MoodWhiplash.
81[[/folder]]
82
83[[folder:Web Animation]]
84* ''WebAnimation/TF2Analysis'' has a "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BquijzXlSZI Blooper Reel]]" episode. Although introduced as genuine flubs at the start by Firebrand, it's obvious most of the gags are scripted.
85* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' [=DVDs=] always have the flubs and improvisations done by the voice actors with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un3uFbCWPlk&list=PLnuF6_SvePMsgw0Lo6OHLm1FtEtTYRRJt all-new machinima to make them fit this trope too]]. There was also a reel only of Tucker accidentally killing other characters or the camera with his sword.
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Western Animation]]
89* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', two episodes (the one with Sheen learning kung-fu; the other with Jet Fusion, a Brosnan-era Franchise/JamesBond expy, on his wedding) featured these kind of bloopers.
90* The first ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' movie "Is It Fall Yet?" has these comprised of still photos, featuring such hilarious moments as [[SadistTeacher Mr. [=DeMartino=]'s]] [[EyeScream bulging eye coming completely out of its socket]] and [[OutOfCharacterMoment Daria and Jane posing seductively on Tom's car]].
91* Creator/CartoonNetwork once had a recurring interstitial called "Bloopers of the Cartoon Stars".
92* The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'' has TheStinger be an outtake where Malina is holding the wrong item.
93-->'''Kuzco:''' It's supposed to be a ''scroll'', not ''squirrel''. PROPS!
94* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
95** In 1938, as part of Warner Bros.' annual in-house gag reel, Creator/BobClampett lovingly animated WesternAnimation/PorkyPig hitting his thumb [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4j88PvLyg with a hammer]]:
96--->'''Porky Pig:''' Oh, son of a bi-bi-bit, son of a bi-bi-bit, son of a bi-bi-- ''[[LastSecondWordSwap Gun]]!'' Ha, ha, ha! You thought I was gonna say "S-s-son of a ''bitch''", didn't ya?
97** There's also the short cartoon ''WesternAnimation/BlooperBunny'', which is mostly made up of outtakes from Bugs Bunny's "[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xftc07_blooper-bunny-bugs-bunny-s-51-1-2-anniversary-spectacular_shortfilms 51 ½th birthday celebration]]". For example, one has Daffy Duck berating Elmer Fudd for one screwup, only to slam into a loose floorboard himself right after:
98--->'''Bugs:''' Ehhh... NOW can we cut?\
99'''Daffy Duck:''' You smug son of a... ''[[[CurseCutShort DIRECTOR CUTS]]]''
100* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' episode "Cutie and the Beast", Dot keeps blowing her opening line (specifically her OverlyLongName). We see take after take being shot until she gets it right, and they have to skip ahead to later in the script because they took up too much time. At one point she has a ClusterBleepBomb, and at another Yakko says it flawlessly, to which she sarcasically points out that of course ''he'' can say it; he's the complicated PatterSong guy.
101-->'''Dot''': Thank you, Mr. United-States-Canada-Mexico-Panama!
102* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' had Henry and June show a outtake reel, though they were all of Henry. June finds it funny, but then trips as she's going to turn the page (due to her clumsiness).
103* Much like Cartoon Network, Creator/KidsWB also had a series of interstitials called "Crazy Takes" showing things going wrong as the shows are being "filmed", such as [[Anime/YuGiOh Joey's]] AnimeHair repeatedly falling down in his face, [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Jackie Chan's uncle]] stumbling over his words as he tries to recite an incantation, [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Omi]] trying unsuccessfully to pole-vault across an alligator pit, and filming for a ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' scene being constantly interrupted by [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries James]] walking on the set looking for Pikachu.
104* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9pKxIh15Hk This promo]] for ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' shows [[AnimatedActors an "outtake"]] where Drakken goes off-script to improvise, gettting into an argument with Shego while Kim tries to encourage them back to work.
105* There was an "outtake" in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' where Luanne's breasts popped out of her shirt [covered with a black bar] as she was talking to Hank in the alley, which prompted everyone to laugh, and Hank said, "Come on, Luanne; you already got the job."
106* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' has some at the end of the episode "The Legend of Johnny Lovely".
107* WesternAnimation/DangerMouse screws up his line twice in "Duckula Meets Frankenstoat."
108-->'''DM:''' ''[as he and Penfold burst through a door]'' Right, Gamenstoat, the Frank's up! ''[his face turns red with embarrassment]'' Uh... no... I'll... try it again. ''[they exit; the door closes and they burst through again]'' Right, Uptenfrank! The tame goat! Oh, drat it... ''[they exit again and then re-enter]'' Right, Frankenstoat, the game's up!\
109'''Penfold:''' ''[to camera]'' 'Cor, thank goodness! My feet are killing me!
110* [[https://youtu.be/pc_hvLUQX-0 This very rare]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' interstitial featuring Randall accidentally biting Mrs. Finster's finger as she gives him a cookie.
111-->'''Mrs. Finster:''' '''''OW! MY FINGER!''''' The weasel bit my finger [[NoodleIncident again!]]
112* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' has one of these at the end of "Doom with a View." The first one has Frank forgetting his line ("Who are you and why are you here?") and when Len tells him the line, he thinks he's actually asking him why he's here. This apparently took ''342 takes.'' The second has Iris fumble her line, causing her and Ruby to burst out laughing.
113* An in-universe version happened in the ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' episode "Sweet (Truck) Ride," where the pets try to film a reenactment of when they accidentally crashed Aunt Christie's sweet truck to prove that Blythe wasn't to blame for it. Some outtakes include Zoe ripping the dress she was wearing, Minka's tail getting in the way of the shot, and Zoe and Pepper getting a bad case of the giggles after Pepper says the wrong line.
114-->'''Pepper''': Up, down, up, dog. Did I just say "dog?" (She and Zoe start laughing).
115* To promote the show, Disney XD ran a series of outtakes based off of ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja''. Outtakes appear as TheStinger for the SeriesFinale, showing the characters flub up various moments from Season 2.
116* ''WesternAnimation/GetAce'': TheTag for "Greener Tina" shows the characters mess up various scenes from the episode, such as Tina laughing and forgetting her line and Claudia accidentally ripping one while inside her bubble.
