* After Creator/CapitolRecords had rejected the first three singles and the debut album of Music/TheBeatles in 1963, the independent Vee-Jay label had acquired the rights to them. When Beatlemania hit America in 1964, Vee-Jay tried to capitalize on the success by releasing the handful of songs they'd acquired over-and-over again on different albums.[[note]]Vee-Jay had their rights to these tracks yanked away by EMI later on 1963 over a breach-of-contract issue, so their 1964 releases were technically a case of an indie label pirating material that didn't belong to them.[[/note]] The most desperate of these albums featured four Beatles songs sprinkled among eight songs by (the much, much less popular) crooner Frank Ifield. Even shadier, the album was called ''Jolly What! The Beatles and Frank Ifield On Stage'', implying that it featured some live recordings by The Beatles. Anyone who was suckered into buying this album likely had already bought the Beatles songs on an earlier album. But there was some hilarity with the album's liner notes, which committed a memorable [[TheMalaproper Malapropism]] on the word "compilation": "It is with a good deal of pride and pleasure that this copulation has been presented." [[http://www.snopes.com/music/hidden/ifield.asp Snopes.com]] has commented that "it provided an apt description of a record that screwed consumers out of their money."

* [[http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/charlie-hebdo-afd-kandidat-kruse-sorgt-mit-versprecher-fuer-aerger-a-1012523.html Political slip, awful slip.]] A rather right wing German politician comments on the Charlie Hebdo attacks that they happened sooner than he ''hoped''. Of course he wanted to say ''feared''. In any case, rather left wing politicians rejoiced. (Minor shitstorm ensues.)
* While announcing the nominees for Best Cinematography at the live 2015 UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award|sCeremonies}} nominations, Academy head Cheryl Boone Isaacs meant to say "Dick Pope" (for ''Mr. Turner''), but it came out as "Dick ''Poop''". The flub became a meme almost faster than Isaacs could correct herself, and it's been viewed in the same light as Creator/JohnTravolta's "Adele Dazeem" flub.
* In one Russian newspaper, there was an article where a woman instead of "gryzun" (rodent) typed "gruzin" (Georgian) Some time later, a comment was published, explaining that Georgians and other people from the Caucasus Mountains have a reputation for being passionate lovers, and that lady apparently lacked something in her life.
* A Russian book called ''Mathematicians Joke as Well''--a collection of funny stories and urban legends about mathematics - says that once, a professor took an article to a typist--a young single woman. For some reason, he was surprised to see that instead of "beskonechno malyy chlen" (infinitely small member) she typed "beskonechno milyy chlen" (infinitely ''dear'' member).
* A BBC News radio announcer accidentally said David Cameron (UK Prime Minister) had died instead of Music/DavidBowie.
* In the 2002 Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway, while sitting under the second red flag of the race after 27 laps due to a rainstorm (the first red flag happened on the very first lap after Steve Park (along with then-teammate Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who didn't flip) flipped into the infield and ripped out a section of guardrail on the inside of the track), UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} on NBC/TNT commentator Allen Bestwick commented, "It's been kind of a wet and bruising start to what was expected to be an exciting afternoon of rain." Cue laughs from the other commentators, and Bestick himself invoked the trope a few minutes later.[[note]]in his defense, rainouts are frequent at Pocono, perhaps more so than any other track in NASCAR. The 2016 events gave Pocono the dubious distinction of being the only venue in NASCAR history to see both its Cup races pushed to the next day in the same season due to rainouts[[/note]]
* Creator/{{MSNBC}} anchor Chris Hayes once referred to 2016 presidential primary candidate Bernie Sanders as "Bernie Sandwiches" on air. He later explained on Twitter that he was looking at people being served dinner offscreen at the time. Similarly, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly referred to him as "Bernie Sandals", [[https://mashable.com/2016/02/09/bernie-sandals/#wYovZSWTbaqB resulting in people making actual Bernie Sandals]].
** Another news anchor in 2018, February 20, started of her segment with "President [[ReallyGetsAround Tra]]-Trump, spent the morning...", while barely containing her laughter with a wide smile tucking the corners of her mouth as she corrected herself.
** MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle states that “California is [[{{Fartillery}} farting wildfires]]” before correcting herself. Later on Seth Meyers, she stated that due to the large number of vegans and cleanses in California, [[ToiletHumor they could actually be farting]].
* Creator/KatherineRyan, when presenting ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'' during times of heightened tension between the US and the UK regarding politics, she delivered a sentence perfectly -- but with some incorrect emphasis. Note: furor can be pronounced the same as führer.
-->''"... despite the current furor President Trump. Oh, shit. Despite the current furor, President Trump is still planning..."''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VCWmHeTC_8 Fox News anchor David Asman]] mispronouncing "title" as "tittle" when a picture of Miss Nevada Katie Rees in a bikini was on-screen. His instant awareness of how much he's screwed up is the topping of the cake.
* Nicolás Maduro mixes this with plenty of {{Malaproper}}. One of his most memorable speeches has him saying in regards to Capitalists: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0RIf59XzLk They speculate and rob just like us]]".
* In one of his early sportscasting gigs as the play-by-play announcer for the American Basketball Association's Spirits of St. Louis, Bob Costas tried to say that the team didn't want to blow their lead as they had in the game they played the night before. But he fumbled it a bit and said "They don't want a repeat of last night's blow job." He got reprimanded but kept his job.
