Bloopers, also known as outtakes, are amusing mistakes or mishaps that occur during the filming of a movie, television show, or other type of production. They can range from minor flubs to major blunders, and often provide a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes chaos that goes into making a finished product.
Bloopers have been around for as long as filmmaking itself, but it wasn’t until the advent of home video in the 1980s that they began to be widely shared with the public. Today, there are countless blooper reels available online, and some of the most popular have been viewed millions of times.
