20 Best News Bloopers Ever

Advertisements

You know how they say, never believe what you see on the news? Well, that might apply to a lot of things, but it does not apply here. It’s the bloopers which reveal that what’s taking place in the background might be way more real (not to mention interesting!) than what the on-site report is waffling on about. We’ve tracked down some of the most epic news bloopers for your amusement!

#1 Hit the curb

Unbeknown to the reporter, who is clearly focused on making sense of her riveting news item, an inane biker gets distracted and rides bang straight into the curb, flipping on his bicycle before landing on the ground with a thud. The reporter is so absorbed by her reportage that she does not even bat a perfectly made-up eyelid at the sound of his bottom hitting the curb.

#2 Keeping abreast of developments

This anchor really needs to have a good talk with her wardrobe assist and sound techie, because one (or both of them) seriously messed up. It might also be worth advising the director that presenting a cleavage might do wonders for ratings, but not so much for credibility. Seriously, did none of her colleagues bother to mention this, or do they just not like her as a person?

#3 Turning tables

Foreign affairs are certainly a hot topic nowadays, when globalization emphasized the need to cooperate with international counterparts. Let’s hope that neither of these two easily-agitated foreign news reporters are involved in any kind of international diplomatic efforts or we are certainly looking at a doomed situation right in the face!

#4 Oops up-side your head

Here we have an enthusiastic reporter totally enthralled by the skateboarding antics which he is recounting. Unfortunately, he misses the best part of the action, when he gets hit on the head by a maverick skateboard. Less antics and more focus will help reporter Mike Amor avoid the flying missile in future.

#5 Anchoring her assets

This is the kind of news anchor you don’t mind following even when the volume is mute. We’re not saying that she isn’t fully qualified to do her job, but she does have some seriously innate double-D talents, which she doesn’t mind putting on full display.

#6 Toying with the news

You have to give this reporter serious kudos for keeping his cool and focus while a spectator in the background waves a bright purple sex toy. As the toy approaches the reporter he only looks mildly miffed at being disrupted during his important Sky News relay, but he goes on anyway.

#7 Fish out of water

The reporter certainly does not look too impressed by the fish, even when it pretends to play dead. When it springs to life and start wriggling around in a last-ditch attempt to make a clever escape she lurches back into the laps of the fisherman – who is the only one amused at this incident!

#8 Spiderman, Spiderman – does whatever a spider can…

source: giphy.com

Except catch a fainting news anchor before she hits the ground with a thud. A badly coordinated, yet amusing stunt from a newscaster who is certainly no Mary Jane Watson. And we’re pretty sure that we won’t find Peter Parker behind the mask, either!

#9 Celebrity snubs

source: giphy.com

Here’s a reporter who is so concentrated on his news report and so absorbed by his story that he fails to notice the news right under his nose, or better under his arm. Whereas singer Erykah Badu saunters over to him, as a teasing joke, he fails to recognize her and unfortunately snubs her, mistaking her for another passer-by looking to wave to his mum on live TV. Talk about missing the wood for the trees!

We’re not entirely sure what this is. Perhaps weather girl Yanet Garcia was doing her warm-up prior to going on air. Perhaps she’s thinking of taking on a role on a new Baywatch-type soap. Perhaps she’s trying out her bra’s support in case she needs to run away from a hurricane. Perhaps she is the hurricane!

#11 Dropping the ball… and the baby!

source: giphy.com

Imagine this… You’re just strolling along the field, after having enjoyed the game as a spectator. Two guys are fooling around the pitch with a ball and it suddenly bounces towards you. What do you do? Try to catch it of course! Only this guy totally forgets that he’s carrying a Young child in his arms and distracted by his efforts to catch the ball, drops the child who flips in mid-air and lands on the field with a thud!

#12

Here’s a guy who simply desperately needs to get out of the studio. And hey presto! He transforms into Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and slides onto the floor to crawl on all fours and escape un-noticed. Of course this guy is no member of the Mission Impossible Force and he has not taken into account the angle of the camera or how utterly foolish he looks!

#13 Never mind the reporter

source: giphy.com

Look at me! Yep – this is one lady who is determined to make the most of her chance to appear on TV. Regardless of whatever the on-site reporter is saying she goes on to engage in some serious shenanigans. The reporter admirably soldiers on, unaware of exactly what is going on behind him. His anchor, however lets a smile and a giggle escape, proving that even newscasters are human!

#14

The reporter who got goated.  Do you know why goats are considered farm animals and not companion pets? You should after seeing this blooper. Admittedly goats are pretty cute, however they are hard-headed and tend to butt opponents, as the poor reporter soon finds out!

#15

Well, this one doesn’t really fit into the news blooper category, but I suppose this wasn’t planned like this. I bet the cameraman – as well as the viewers in front of the TV at home – got surprised, if not scared, when a giant duckface was approaching at the speed of light. Thank God she can’t go through the screen.

This cat is out of the bag and sauntering across the weather report set as the weather man details wind forces in Latin America. But the cat isn’t fazed at all and just goes on his way – surely looking for a cozy and quiet spot for a nap.

A twist in time… Saves you from a flying car! This farmer remains totally unfazed as a car literally crash-rolls by his side on live TV. Talk about having ice running through your veins. This chap is some cool cat!

#18

Head shot… Ten points for this guy’s effort to be subtle and slide out of the weather report frame, as the cameraman signals him to let him know that he is in full view of the frame!

#19

Pam Olivier is live on the air for Fox’s live game transmission as one of the team members working the event walks into her shot. Careful not to disturb her live commentary he freezes only to back away in reverse mode. Not so subtle but quick and effective!

Caught in the act, with her skirt up… on live TV. We’re guessing that this is not something which this presenter is going to want to include in her resume! Kudos to her valiant efforts to soldier on!
