TV & Radio Broadcast Blooper Audio
 4Balls.mp3
A 1971 broadcast of what to expect when partying during Presidential inaugurations.
ABCCC.mp3
When ABC radio isn't quite up to snuff on where it is and what it's doing.
ATaleOfTwoIntros.mp3
Orson Welles had attitude, alright, but rarely as evident as here, when he loses his "patience" during a broadcast intro to "The Mercury Theatre On-The-Air" and its dramatization of "A Tale of Two Cities".
AWhaleThatSleepsWithTheFishes.mp3
It's evident the broadcaster's familiar with New York City ; ) .
BedsheetAtmosphericControl.mp3
I tried this once and it worked, but my wife informed me of more creative areas with which to apply my instrument.
DrinkingPee.mp3
And you thought it was tea & vodka.
Eisenhower&KaiserWith&WithoutNuts.mp3
Society was a bit robotic during this era, save for the Rock & Roll fans in their midst, whom one must imagine were NOT among the folks referred to in this bit since Glam rock had not yet been invented.
FactsGainImpotence.mp3
And remember - if you dress impotent, you'll feel impotent.
FrozenFoodPeckers.mp3
If it congeals, you ain't impotent.
Hand-In-Your-HoleSize.mp3
Now THAT'S a specey-spicey pizza pie!
HeadlineEdition530515.mp3
One of the best broadcast bloopers of all time - ABC Radio's Headline Edition TRIES to broadcast the news, but doesn't - and when it gives itself a pat on the back for it, it's just too much for the announcer, let alone the anchorman, to take.
HopeCooksHisCock.mp3
We ain't talking fried chicken, either. "Bob" must have had some difficulties with his cue cards.
HowdyDoodyBloopy.mp3
A beloved bit from the old "Howdy Doody" show. This is why kids shows get taped these days.
Kentunkin'Derby.mp3
This guy oughtta be a political spokesman instead.
LoneJourney.mp3
Now THIS is truth in broadcasting.
MarthaGraham-''MaritalDevotion''.mp3
Another great moment in radio broadcasting - while Mike Wallace gets up to some shenanigans beside the microphone, Martha Graham totally loses it as she tries to read a letter from a woman distraught over - you'll figure it out.
Mr.RodgersWithAstronautCharlieWorden.mp3
Make a what? Ahh, he's full of it.
NBCNewsDuringASCAPStrike.mp3
Don't worry - everything's under control! Ever notice that whenever you hear that, it's time to worry cuz everything's outta control? Me too - and it's terribly evident here.
ParisPieceTalks.mp3
You'd think the French woulda been eager at this point to stay outta Vietnam & let the Yanks have their turn at making fools outta themselves over there. Apparently not during the course of this broadcast.
PetFeed&Love.mp3
Please don't ask me to explain.
PfizerUdderTone.mp3
It's got a subtle odortone, too.
PoodleNighties.mp3
Paul Harvey did his best, but his announcer just couldn't take it.
Rockefeller-RasmussenWedding.mp3
When it ain't broke don't fix it ain't no more true than here, as an attempt at a report on rehearsals for this gala wedding goes here, there and everywhere.
SuperAnahist.mp3
It's a set-up, I tell ya!
TheGoddamLawn.mp3
I once though only a comedy troup like SCTV would dare to imagine such a gaff - but then I heard this, and it was REAL!
TruthInReporting.mp3
What it is, brutha!
TwinCityWeatherReport.mp3
Maybe one was for Minneapolis and the other for St. Paul - then again, it wouldn'ta made much difference, anyways.
VietnamBroadcastInterruptedByPowerShortage.mp3
Musta been a prank played by Charlie.
WaitingForKaplow.mp3
A news broadcasting bureau's worst nightmare - the news goes on the air, but the anchor is nowhere to be found, then he is found, then he runs, and runs, all the while broadcasting live.
WaterBuffaloAttacksAmericanPatrolVietnam.mp3
And finally, I'll let this broadcast speak for itself. You wouldn't believe me otherwise!
Armed Forces Radio Vietnam Bloopers
AFVNBlooper-'CapsuleCountdown'.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - A noble attempt to play AFVN's "Capsule Countdown" of Top 10 hits without the use of a pre-recorded tape of its entries.*
AFVNBlooper-'How'sYourVDLately'.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - An AFVN service announcement entitled "How's Your VD Lately?". Brother, you can't make stuff like this up!*
AFVNBlooper-BarkedAttackAircraft.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - AFVN's attempt to read a news item that I don't think most folks then, let alone a quarter century later, could even begin to figure out. The announcer sure couldn't.*
AFVNBlooper-Channer11.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - An attempt to record an AFVN TV Channell 11 sign-off that doesn't go exactly the way the announcer wished.*
AFVNBlooper-ClapSlap.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - An AFVN service announcement that asks the immortal question "Do YOU have to hang on to the pipes when YOU pee?". You can't make stuff up like this, either.*
AFVNBlooper-CrossAtTheLocomotiveThingy.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - A familiar, casual air in a broadcaster's delivery is one thing - what this announcer comes up with, though, is something more apt from a post '67 Haight-Ashbury refugee than from an AFVN broadcaster.*
AFVNBlooper-DawnBusted.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - The AFVN "Dawn Buster" starts off with a bang -- or, really, a crash.*
AFVNBlooper-DejaVueAllOverAgain.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - During a disturbing report of North Koreans knocking an American soldier to the ground at P'anmunjóm, what one might wonder to be the North Vietnamese chiming in on the issue occurs, as a mighty crash as loud as anything that came out of Fibber McGee's closet completely disrupts this AFVN news announcer's broadcast.*
AFVNBlooper-Enoughawhat.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Oh, I don't know...so AFVN's sexy siren Chris Noel doesn't know what an Anopheles mosquito is. But then again, when you listen to hear speak, you may find yourself wondering if she knows anything about anything. On the other hand, though, you can be sure that she didn't get hired for what she knew, anyways ; - ) .*
AFVNBlooper-JoeyBishopOnPatSajak.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Joey Bishop records a promo for Pat Sajak's AFVN radio show (yep, he was on the radio in 'Nam). Joey does it, plays around with it in a suggestive manner that might conceivably annoy Sajak - and then resorts to comparing him to Jack Paar once he realizes Pat is in the room with him. Now that's show biz!*
AFVNBlooper-JoeyBishop&ALittleGrass.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Following the above, Joey Bishop, having finished doing promos for AFVN, finds out just what's in that cigarette his interviewer is smoking.*
AFVNBlooper-JoeyBishop&ALittleGrass.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Following the above, Joey Bishop, having finished doing promos for AFVN, finds out just what's in that cigarette his interviewer is smoking. You might well wonder what Pat Sajak knew about it.*
AFVNBlooper-OperationStarSearch.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - An attempt to record an AFVN advertisement for "Operation Star Search", but they might well have better decided to search for better writing talent first.*
AFVNBlooper-SimulWatt.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Here we go again...AFVN's Chris Noel hasn't heard of the word "simultaneous". But keep in mind - that's not why they hired her - besides, what they really needed was a gal who sounded like she didn't know the word "no", anyways.*
AFVNBlooper-ThereWereThey.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Yes, "There were they". I do sincerely feel sorry for this Chaplain - he's a victim, at the very instant he's delivering this on AFVN, of the very thing he's preaching against.*
AFVNBlooper-TheSoundOfEverything.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - You can't conciously create something of this kind; stuff of this quality can only happen spontaneously...AFVN broadcasts Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" as the news accidently cuts in on the transmission, making an elegant allegorical accompaniment that runs stunningly parallel to the lyrics.*
AFVNBlooper-TruthInReporting.mp3
(Archived 4/5/01) - Naughty boys!*
