I know some of you know this story, but once when I was speaking of a short story plot point to a group of eighth graders, I was trying to say "it's not a big deal, though" and got tongue tied and said "it's not a big deal doh." Which of course sounds like dildo.

And then in my horror I was trying desperately to think of something to say so that "dildo" would stop hanging there in the air, with a few kids already snickering and others busily trying to figure out where they had heard that word before.

I didn't recover from it. It was awful. I feel for a few of these newscasters; at least I didn't say "dildo" on live TV.

The reporter in clip #8? Mrs. admin. Sorry, dude. I was on her mind. And your bed. And your kitchen counter. And twice on your couch.

so that "dildo" would stop hanging there in the air,

i see what you did there.

Go fuck yourself, San Diego!

The saddest fact in the world, Bill O'Reily as of now deserves a punch to the face less than anyone else on FOX news. Hell, as a fellow member of the Irish race, we take punches as compliments.

I bookmarked this page for when I'm having a bad day.

Of course you did miss my favorite:

Or how about this amazing feat:

The ghetto reporter really cracked me up. After that incident, he went and made a bunch of "news reports" that had him flipping out over something trivial. Of course, they weren't as funny.

This one has to be one of the best of all time. I can't believe it didn't make this list.

I guess it's not necessarily a gaffe, but, man alive, is it all kinds of ossom!!

By the looks of things, if the station you work for is Channel 5, you have a greater chance for a major SNAFU.

This list has some notable ommissions:

The Grape Lady (it was parodied by Family Guy)

The Mugshot Fail for a dose of cute/sad:

And this one I like because it's local:

My favorite newsperson vid isn't so much a gaffe as it is just fucking ridiculous. It's that one video with that Haitian weatherman who laughs at potentially the most innocuous joke possible as if it's the funniest thing he's ever heard. Seriously. "Laughing Weatherman." Classic.

While these are bad, I would say this is worse:

I love when he turns bright red.

I'm sorry, THIS is the absolute best gaffe. I've seen this for years and still laugh when I see it (it involves Mt. Everest for those who have seen it before).

Damn you grace b! I didn't notice that. It is a classic, however, so it needs to be mentioned as many times as possible.

Posted by: fiftenkeys at October 9, 2009 4:13 PM

YO #7 is from my local market, Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at October 9, 2009 4:49 PM

OMG the Everest one is hilarious.

BUT, HE'S GAY! I mean, BLIND.

I get those confused all the time, too.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at October 9, 2009 4:51 PM

It's African American cock. Right, Charlotte?

Posted by: Sofía at October 9, 2009 5:01 PM

These are funny. Thanks for posting them. I think my favorite is #4; I'm not sure what that says about me.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at October 9, 2009 5:04 PM

I agree with Christian H., this dude is the greatest:

It seriously makes me laugh every single time.

did anyone see that football game last weekend when the commentator said it was "breast awareness day" instead of "breast CANCER awareness day"? Hilarious.

I've seen a lot of these but I could seriously watch them all day. Good old Bill going nuts never fails to crack me up.

Posted by: Kurdt at October 12, 2009 11:52 AM

God, we have a show over here that has nothing but clips of people fucking up on air. It's kind of mesmerising, even if they do tend to have too many of animals attacking presenters while they're talking to camera. (The presenters, not the animals).

Posted by: Tarn at October 12, 2009 12:20 PM

Man, I am bummed that I missed this one the other day. Fucking kids and their fucking fevers!

There are two notable omissions, both involving Shepard Smith. One in which he talks about J-Lo and he says people are more inclined to give her "a curb job than a blow job...er, I mean block party" and another one where the poor lady from Fox news says "Top cocks" when trying to say "Top cops", and does it twice. The best is at the end of that clip when Shepard is giving her the business. Funny stuff.
