Top 10 Bloopers That Broke the Whole Cast

This season three episode sees con artist Bela Talbot do everything she can to steal a lucky rabbit’s foot. Although ultimately unsuccessful, she does manage to drive away with Dean’s winning scratch tickets. Now, how would you feel if someone disappeared with your chance at winning thousands of dollars? There’s certainly no mistaking Dean’s feelings as he loudly exclaims: “Son of a b****.” But hang on, is that smile we see on Sam actor Jared Padalecki’s face? According to the star, his co-star’s overzealous response wasn’t what he was expecting. But he didn’t want to ruin the take, so he turned his head away from the camera to hide his reaction.

Ah, Craig, how do we describe Craig? Well, he’s loud, a little intense, never shies away from voicing his opinion, and is very… enthusiastic about everything. He’s also hilarious and a beloved addition to the “Parks” team, courtesy of actor Billy Eichner. In this scene, Leslie puts together a team to brainstorm ideas to improve community relations following the Pawnee-Eagleton merger. Craig introduces himself and his friend Madison who drove him in. In the blooper, it’s clear that everyone’s getting a kick out of Eichner’s delivery, and Aziz Ansari even eggs him on. Of course, it’s not long until they all break. We only wish this conversation had made the final cut.

We wonder how many takes of this classic “Big Bang” scene it took before the director raised their hand and went, “Ah well, good enough.” In this season nine episode, a crowd gathers at the comic book store to see “Footprints on the Moon” make their musical debut. The guys have penned some… interesting lyrics, but we commend their commitment. In fact, in the episode that aired, Kaley Cuoco can be seen chuckling when Howard really goes for those high notes. Still, that’s nothing compared to the outtake. When Howard tries to harmonize, Cuoco can’t contain her laughter and soon brings some other cast members down, too.

This is wild to imagine, but apparently, the late great Betty White wasn’t meant to be a series regular on “Hot in Cleveland.” She was initially signed on as a guest star in the pilot episode but come on, it’s Betty White! Of course, folks loved her. And if she hadn’t been convinced to join the cast, we may never have gotten so many hilarious bloopers! In one of our favorites, White’s Elka talks about her dating profile. White can barely get through the punchline without giggling, which sets off a domino effect with her scene mates. In fact, it’s so funny that it even gets called back to in a later outtake.

Charlie and Mac are reunited with old friend Pete, but they’re disappointed that he’s more together than they remembered. So, they turn to Cricket to help lure the old Pete out with what can only be described as an exorcism. There’s just one problem, Cricket doesn’t know the required Latin to perform such a task. Now let’s cut to the outtake. Cricket waxes lyrical about the importance of “faking it.” And something about his co-stars’ reactions suggests that maybe this wasn’t the dialogue they expected. They try to play along but can barely get through a sentence without giggling. They’re certainly not faking just how funny they find this scene.

Eric spends this episode in an array of disguises as he seeks vengeance on Topanga. But it turns out he’s no match for her, physically or mentally. Unfortunately, one of his more creative yet ill-thought-out costumes didn’t make the final cut. However, the bloopers can be seen at the end of the episode. Shawn and Angela have been sitting on the couch embracing for a while, seemingly unaware that Eric’s hiding in the cushions. His reveal is so funny that it breaks everyone. And since it didn’t make the final cut, we can only imagine the amount of takes ruined by laughter.

Ross Geller is at the center of two hysterical “Friends” bloopers that broke everyone involved. But before we “PIVOT!” onto our pick, we just had to take a second to appreciate this moment. The cast managed to one-up their own hilarity a couple of seasons later when Ross showcases his newfound talent to the gang and urges them to join in— which Phoebe does. In the aired episode, you can see that Jennifer Aniston struggles to maintain composure. However, she’s far from the only one who catches the giggles in this blooper. We get it, we’ve probably watched this scene hundreds of times, and it never gets less funny.

In the episode, Kitty and the girls head to a club for Donna’s bachelorette party. The usually wholesome matriarch unveils a wild streak when she starts grooving in front of the exotic dancer. It’s so funny that even in the episode, Mila Kunis can be spotted openly laughing. However, as this outtake shows, she wasn’t the only one who found the moment hysterical. Even Debra Jo Rupp can’t keep a straight face! According to the actress, she improvised the whole thing and intended to keep going until someone yelled cut. We imagine she would’ve kept dancing for a while, as everyone was probably doubled over and too breathless to call it anyway.

The “Dinner Party” episode was beloved by critics and fans alike, and for good reason. The writing was top-notch, the acting was on point, and it gave us one of our favorite “The Office” bloopers. Michael shows Jim and Pam his new plasma TV during a tour of his and Jan’s home. The camera then shows it. If you thought that was funny, check out this outtake. They can barely keep it together, but Steve Carell’s attempts to keep going just make them break even more. The actor acknowledges that it’s going to be a long day. Eventually, they completely lose it, and everyone needs a moment to regroup.

According to Carol Burnett’s memoirs, a golden rule of sorts on her show was that everyone should stay in character. But here’s the thing, when something’s just that darn funny, the rules pretty much mean squat. During this installment of "The Family" sketch, the group plays a game of “Password.” Mickey Hart, played by Tim Conway, tells such a ridiculous story about elephants that everyone, including Burnett, struggles to maintain their composure. The more details he adds, the more they begin to crack. However, it’s Vicki Lawrence as Mama who finally fully breaks them all. It’s still one of the funniest TV bloopers of all time.
