message: No games with bloopers have been mentioned. I know Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has one. Maybe there are other examples.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronnodas (talk • contribs) 17:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: hi! the intro is quite long (I think there is even a guideline suggesting to have relative short intros) and the Pixar-section is .. well, I think it speaks for itself (the two internal links are broken and no text at all). of course I assume the broken links worked once but currently they are merged/moved/deleted with no redirect set and I don't know how to track down what exactly happened. — HTurtle (talk2me • sign) 23:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The BBC quote about Don Quixote sitting on his ass may or may not be a blooper, depending on when it happened. The American use of "ass" for backside was not that familiar outside America until relatively recently – perhaps the late 60s or 70s. It would have been understood readily enough, because of its similarity to the British English "arse", with which it is probably connected, but the humour perceived by the American listener would not have been felt by a British listener forty or fifty years ago. The correspondence in sound of American "ass" to (r-dropping) British "arse" exactly parallels that between the American and British pronunciations of "glass". However, the a in British English "ass", meaning "donkey", represents a short vowel sound.
The converse situation is represented by the word "bum", which means "tramp, hobo" in the States, but means "buttocks" in Britain and the British Commonwealth. The use of the word in American film and TV was always amusing to our ears, and occasionally it occurred in a sentence where either meaning might conceivably have fitted. But the American would not feel this as an ambiguity he needed to avoid, and so it wouldn't really constitute a blooper, unless he was addressing a British audience and forgot, or didn't know, about the difference in usage.
I think it's still worth keeping on the page - perhaps with a short added comment? Or do we need to introduce a concept of "transdialectal blooper"? That might be classed as original research.
On the other hand, if it was a fairly recent broadcast, then it was probably deliberate—a double-entendre rather than a blooper. Koro Neil (talk) 14:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "Some films that there were bloopers in include A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc.,"
Assuming this refers to so-called "mistakes" shown during the credits, how exactly do you get a blooper in an animated product?  It's not a mistake when the character does exactly what it's drawn to do.  Calling it a "blooper" doesn't make it one.

message: I'm not wedded to one name or the other (or a third, neutral name which doesn't give rise to a British vs. American conflict). However, we do not need two different articles about different names for the same thing. Bearcat (talk) 05:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I know, we live in the age of television and film. In former times, long long ago, people read books, magazines, and newspapers. In Yagoda's About Town (p. 15) I read this: "I was attracted to the magazine (The New Yorker, 13P.) by the wit of the comments that followed the bloopers in books, magazines, and newspapers..." --13Peewit (talk) 09:06, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Since blooper was coined by Kermit Schaefer, I find it odd that the original definition is not included - bloopers are not outtakes alone, but also include errors made during live broadcasts. 68.146.71.145 (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The "contemporary examples" section mostly dealt with film and TV bloopers released voluntarily. As bloopers also occur during live broadcasts, I felt it important to give a recent example. The John Travola "Adele Dazeem" incident from the 2014 Oscars, which was widely covered by notable media (the source I used was Time Magazine's website), I think is justified as an example. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 14:31, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Christmas Tapes typically included Bloopers, such as the 1979 BBC Good King Memorex tape. Its a compliation of bloopers created by a department within the broadcasting company/corporation and it compiles skits and bloopers in one. Winhelper (talk) 04:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
