===Contemporary examples=== The [[United States|American]] [[sitcom]] ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' had a tradition of airing outtakes over the closing credits, though blooper reels were not shown during the closing credits of the show during the first, fifth (except for one episode), and sixth seasons. Many of these involved [[malapropism]]s on the part of the cast, often lampooned by [[Will Smith]], who would chime in on the mistakes made by the rest of the cast. An example of this is when Uncle Phil ([[James Avery]]) comments, "Well, the silverware's obviously not in the house. It must been stolen", before realizing the line was "It must ''have'' been stolen" and correcting himself. Smith appears in the shot and, in an exaggerated [[Accent (dialect)|accent]], responds, "It must been stolen. Feet, don't fail me now!"{{uncited quote|date=November 2020}} Another sitcom, ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', also showcased outtakes over its closing credits; however, some episodes featured a tag scene over the credits in lieu of a blooper reel. ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' produced many famous out-takes, which were shown to the delight of fans at gatherings over the years and have been extensively bootlegged. One famous example shows actor [[Leonard Nimoy]], who plays the supposedly emotionless [[Mr. Spock]], breaking into laughter when, in the first-season episode "[[This Side of Paradise (Star Trek: The Original Series)|This Side of Paradise]]", instead of saying the line "The plants act as a ''repository''", says "The plants act as a ''[[suppository]]''". In another out-take, series star [[William Shatner]] breaks character during a scene and starts complaining about the food served in the studio commissary. A third example begins with the third-season episode "[[Is There in Truth No Beauty?]]", in which guest actress [[Diana Muldaur]] recited the line, "We've come to the end of an eventful... trip", to which Shatner replies, "I don't know what you've been taking..." β a reference to the then-topical issue of [[Psychedelic experience|drug-induced hallucinations]] or "trips". People bumping into supposedly automatic doors when the backstage personnel mistimed opening them was a common accident depicted. Similarly there were also mishaps while filming in exterior, with aircraft flying over supposedly alien planets.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} ''[[Hee Haw]]'' often showed bloopers in the show itself, usually with the actor or actors requiring several tries to get a line right, ending in most cases with the correctly delivered line.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} Many theatrical motion pictures feature bloopers during the end credits. For example, many [[Jackie Chan]] movies end with footage of failed stunts, blown dialogue, and other mishaps; Chan was inspired to do this by [[Burt Reynolds]]' films of the early 1980s (in particular ''[[Smokey and the Bandit II]]'' and ''[[The Cannonball Run]]'') that also featured end-credits bloopers. As an homage to its inspiration, the closing-credits blooper reel for ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'' actually featured one outtake from ''Smokey and the Bandit II''.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} [[Pixar]] also has a tradition of including blooper-like material during the end credits of such films as ''[[A Bug's Life]]'', ''[[Toy Story 2]]'', and ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''; the latter was at one point reissued to theatres with a major selling feature being the addition of extra "bloopers". Since Pixar's films are painstakingly animated, making actual blunders of this sort is impossible, these scenes are in fact staged to provide additional audience enjoyment. The makers of another animated film, ''[[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]'', likewise also created a faux blooper reel showing the characters playing practical jokes and, in one case, bursting into laughter when one "sneezes" during a dramatic sequence. However, the movie ''[[Shrek]]'' has actual bloopers that were released on DVD. These bloopers are technical errors within the system, causing blurred characters or the characters bodies going through objects, such as a bush or the crown Lord Farquaad wears. Going back decades earlier, in 1939 [[Warner Bros. Cartoons|Warner Bros.]] cartoon director [[Bob Clampett]] produced a short "blooper" film (for the studio's annual in-house gag reel) of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' character [[Porky Pig]] smashing his thumb with a hammer and cursing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Ie3_H_uY8 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/o8Ie3_H_uY8| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Porky Pig Sonofabitch |date=26 December 2008 |publisher=Youtube.com |access-date= March 8, 2009}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The television show, ''[[Full House]]'', had various bloopers in television specials but unreleased bloopers were leaked containing cast members using profanity to express their mistakes in a family-friendly program.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} The [[fishing television series]] ''[[Bill Dance Outdoors]]'' has produced four videos (two [[VHS]] and two [[DVD]]) focusing entirely on bloopers occurring during production of the show and associated commercials, often showing various mishaps such as missed lines (which sometimes take several takes to finally deliver correctly), accidents during filming (including falling into the water, being impaled with a [[fish hook]], or equipment malfunctions), as well as practical jokes played on the host by his guests and film crew (and vice versa). Some of the outtakes shown on these videos would sometimes be shown over the end credits.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} The [[Discovery Channel]] series ''[[MythBusters]]'' will often keep some bloopers included in the actual episodes, usually various mishaps that occur on the show, such as minor injuries suffered by the cast, or various other accidents and malfunctions, which are usually quite spectacular and/or embarrassing when they do occur. {{Anchor|No good}}In [[Asia]], variety shows, which is broadcast in a live-like format, would sometimes air bloopers titled ''NG's'', which stands for ''no good''/''not good''. These ''NG's'' would usually feature hosts forgetting their words by mistake and admit they make mistakes on occasion. The [[Disney Channel]] Original Series ''[[Sonny with a Chance]]'' season 1 episode "Sonny So Far" included bloopers where actress [[Demi Lovato]] had uncontrollable laughter while suffering from [[hiccup|hiccups]] during a supposedly "serious" scene, and several other scenes where the cast-members either humorously messed-up their lines, or props were forgotten. A recent example of a well-publicized live blooper occurred during the March 2, 2014 telecast of the [[86th Academy Awards]]. In introducing the singer [[Idina Menzel]]'s performance of one of the Best Song nominees, actor [[John Travolta]] accidentally announced her as "Adele Dazeem".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Gibson|first=Megan|title=Who Is Adele Dazeem?
