#8 was not on live television. It appeared she was taping a stand-up for inclusion in a package that would play on a show later in the evening.

What was great about #4 is how he maintained his composure enough to speak his line after he hit the ground :)

"that was a bad idea" haha!

I don't think it's that funny because she could have got seriously hurt. If I wouldn't laugh at the time it happened I don't see how it would become funny after the fact.

Uh, #1 is fake, and is part of a viral video campaign.
I can't believe you included that as number one, and completely missed grape stomp.

"Chuck Storm" is a comedy bit. Find another bit at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0GXLImo4fs and read about his origins at http://www.fuddytv.com/blog/2007/07/16/the-story-behind-chuck-storm/

Hey Dan, this is the first non-CNETy article I saw here, and it sure is very funny! Made my day. :)
I think you made a great choice of videos..

As for the other commenters, Weatherman with Tourette is just not sfw, and I find the Grape stomp lady much more painful than funny. I mean c'mon! She screams "I can't breathe"... My empathy crushes my laughs right there...

So, good choices.

This is one of my personal favorites. A news anchor mixes up the words blind and gay...

I remember a sport reporter once saying a tennis player had been beaten in "state sex" when they meant to say "straight sets". Oops!

Riding an ATV is far more dangerous than outdoorsmen want to admit? C'mon Don, don't be such a pris. ATVs ARE fun, if you know what you're doing. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing doesn't belong on an ATV anymore than they belong behind the wheel of a NASCAR.

I can't believe you posted clips of a bunch of fake news bloopers... not even nearly as funny as the real stuff, such as "Top ****" or "Curb Job" from Fox News. Or the one, I believe it was a CNN report, with the guy in a canoe, trying to overstate a flood when two utility workers walk around in the background.

??? How can you skip the all-time classic of the female newscaster asking the weatherman something along the lines of, 'so Phil, where are those 8 inches you promised me last night' - - in reference to the snowfall that never came. The ensuing shocked laughter is one of the funniest things I've ever seen and culminates with an effort on the news' producer to put the camera onto the sports desk where the sports anchor has his laughing head on the desk and waves off the camera.

One of the THE all-time best news blooper clips EVER!

I think that is an urban legend. If not I'd like to see the clip. I can't find it anywhere, just a bunch of people who talk about it.
