The Best TV Blooper Videos

As Seen on YouTube

Live television keeps us up-to-date on the latest in news and events around the globe. It has definite benefits, but some of the funniest bloopers come to us from live TV broadcasts. Live TV must be hard to do, because once you have goofed there is nothing you can do about it.

Here are ten of the funniest television blooper videos I've seen.

The first is a collection of TV mistakes from youtube. Most of these unexpected moments take place on the News, where we expect to see the most composed, professional persona. Newscasters are human, too, and they have their share of mishaps. Let's watch.

My favorite is the guy in the stadium who slips on the ice. He is so composed, then drops out of the blue. The shots of disinterested news anchors is also very telling. Wouldn't you say?

The next is a super short clip. It is a Japanese news reporter. She gets up close and personal with a Judo fighter. She gets aggressive with her job, but I'm not sure it paid the dividends she expected. Watch it now. It amazes me how quickly she jumped to her feet and regained her composer. I think I would have rolled over in embarrassment and not faced the camera again.

The next piece is a fake blooper, but it is so funny, I had to include it. The clip starts with a British reporter in Iraq, interviewing insurgents. The fake insurgent gets very upset when subtitles are added to his commentary. The war is a sensitive issue, but a good sense of humor can't hurt anyone. Here's your laughs, once again compliments of youtube.com.

Here's one from Serbian television. A news anchor faints, and the sets starts falling down around them. One anchor looks bewildered, but sits back down. The other female anchor stares straight ahead as if nothing has happened. Wow, she is either well-trained, or heartless. Take a look at this short clip.
