Humane Society Blooper

In this classic TV blooper a local news reporter is hyping up a dog that is being put up for adoption while a 2-year old boy sits on her lap. The wonky camera man zooms in on the boy instead of the dog and it seems as if the news personality is talking about the looking for a home for the child and not really for the puppy.

Camel Eats Reporter's Hair

NBC 12 - Richmond decided to send their local field reporter to some sort of farm to do a puff-piece of news. Tara Morgan happily starts her story with the camel off to her left, and then the two-humped beast decides to take a bite of Tara's hair.

The camera man and Ms. Morgan jump into action to release her from the jaws of the dromedary. Maybe one of these days Tara will end up being an anchor and she won't have to do such dangerous work any more.

NBC Detroit shows a "Sweet Dog" (rottweiler) that bites another dog on live TV

Detroit's Local affiliate NBC 4 was doing a story about an illegal kennel where 61 dogs were kept in very poor conditions. Carmen the anchor pitches the segment to the field reporter who shows off a "very sweet dog" a large fully grown rottweiler who was slobbery and apparently had several litters of puppies. The animals handler commented on what bad things happened to this sweet dog when all of sudden the big pit-bull like critter goes up on her hind legs and bites a little lap-dog that another handler was holding...

Oh the dangers of live TV.

Sunrise's Simon Reeve's Magic Whistle makes Horses go #2

The morning news program "Sunrise" in Australia has an anchor man (Simon Reeves) who claims that his whistle can make horses go to the bathroom.

So they send a field reporter out to a local stable with a portable TV and speaker, Simon starts whistling and after a few seconds the horses tail goes up, and it craps (as if on command).

CTV Reporter throws his microphone into the Polar Bear Pond

Toronto's CTV evening news weatherman Tom Brown was doing a report from the Zoo celebrating Halloween by tossing three pumpkins into the water for the polar bears to eat. The zoologist pitches in the first orange gourd. Tom shoots the second pumpkin into the water as if it were a basketball---And finally on the third pumpkin Mr. Brown loses his microphone into the chilly polar bear pond. Realizing that the viewers at home can no longer hear him, he plays charades as he kicks it back to the anchors in the studio. They do a good job of covering his mistake, in what I consider to be one of the funniest news bloopers of the year.

Reporter Attacked by a Cat

Kathleen admits that, "I'm obviously not a cat person"; and the anchor man recognizes the fact right away that the video is bound to show up on youtube.
