When Supermodels Fall Down, Bugs are Swallowed, and Other Flubs in the Public Eye

People are prone to make mistakes and sometimes when captured and preserved on film, embarrassingly so. Here is a short collection of amazingly funny videos from YouTube.
What are “Bloopers?”

In the film industry, a ‘blooper’ is a short sequence of either live media, public broadcast or film that contains material that is deleted either for incorrect delivery of content, lines of material, or other human err that include indecent content. These occurrences are also called ‘outtakes.’ Sometimes, motion pictures will include in the closing credits short outtakes of ‘bloppers’ from the making of the film, there for the amusement of the audience. The movies of Jackie Chan are quite noted for these outtakes and fans of the actor have developed quite cult following of these bloopers. They are expected and exalted.
Made popular by American television producer Kermit Schaefer throughout the 1950s-60s in his series of “Pardon My Blooper!” records, today we have TV spots and YouTube to disseminate these often humorous and outrageous bloopers. The word ‘blooper’ by the way, comes from the motion picture industry use of the word “blue,” being a catch-all euphemism for anything indecent, obscene or objectionable
In recent times, some renowned bloopers are slip or trip accidents that occur in the public eye, such as when a fashion model slips on the catwalk and falls or some other ‘wardrobe malfunction.’ We laugh about on it on the evening news, on video sharing sites and personal bilges. It is far more disseminated now that it ever was back in the era of Mr. Schaefer. While only the deranged would wish and pine for this to occur, there is always this morbid fascination and intense hilarity when it occurs.
The Life of a Model can be so Much More Embarrassing!
This poor model has a ‘costume malfunction’ that would make even Janet Jackson hide in shame! Censored for decency of course, but you will be the general idea of exactly what occurred.
And down She Goes. Again! The News Crew Loves It!
The late George Carlin from his “Class Clown” recording stated that suppressed laughter is the easiest to get the most fun out of. The comic great goes on to point out an example “…like, when you’re kneeling in front of a casket” and he snorts a loud snicker of suppressed laughter, leaving the listener to envision the scene he setup.

Very nice. I’m showing my age, but the Red Skelton bit brought back memories. This is but one example of his extemporaneous manner on stage. Thanks for the memories (wait a minute, that was Bob Hope). RB
