00:00From improvised comedy gold to genuine babbling blunders, these bloopers had us sticking around
00:06and laughing hysterically during the credits.
00:09Following his star-making debut on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, Eddie Murphy went
00:14on to have a fruitful career in comedies, with notable hits like Beverly Hills Cop and
00:18Trading Places.
00:19In 1996, he continued that golden streak with The Nutty Professor, a remake of the 1963
00:25classic starring Jerry Lewis.
00:27He plays Sherman Clump, a morbidly obese man who, in a Jekyll and Hyde-esque science
00:32experiment, transforms himself into the overconfident Buddy Love in order to win over the woman
00:37of his dreams.
00:38As he does in a number of his films, Murphy takes on several roles throughout the film,
00:43including other members of the Clump family.
00:45This results in a couple of wild family dinner sequences that are as funny as they are chaotic.
00:50However, the true hilarity of this scene is best shown in the end credits outtakes, which
00:55depict Murphy breaking character as he tries to perform each part.
00:59Scored to the song Macho Man by The Village People, the bloopers feature a number of fart
01:04jokes that make Eddie and the rest of the cast and crew break down into fits of laughter.
01:09When you manage to get Jim Carrey to be the face of your studio comedy, it's usually best
01:14just to let him go wild on camera.
01:16The comedian is known for his over-the-top improvisations in films like Dumb and Dumber
01:21and The Truman Show, a talent that's on full display during the end credits blooper reel
01:25of Liar Liar.
01:27Released in 1997, Liar Liar stars Carrey as an ethically challenged lawyer whose son wishes
01:32for him to be forced to tell the truth for one day.
01:35It provides lots of great opportunities for Carrey to shine with physical comedy, including
01:39an iconic scene in which he beats himself up in a bathroom.
01:43The bloopers at the end of Liar Liar reveal just how much fun it was for everyone else
01:47on set to be a witness to Carrey's brilliance.
01:50His improvisations never fail to get the crew to burst out into hysterical laughter.
01:55He's an outstanding comedic presence on screen, as well as a charismatic leading man.
02:00No, wait!
02:01I didn't understand!
02:10Hollywood was positive about Carrey's work in the film, too, and he scored a Golden Globe
02:13nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy.
02:18In a true display of his range, Carrey also ended up with the Globe the following year
02:21for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for The Truman Show.
02:26In 2022, Tim Allen reprised his role as Scott Calvin, a family man who inherits the role
02:32of Santa Claus in the Disney Plus series The Santa Clauses.
02:35However, the story first began in 1994 with The Santa Claus, and was then followed up
02:40with two sequels, one in 2002 and another in 2006.
02:44The final installment of the trilogy, The Santa Claus III The Escape Clause, finds
02:48Scott desperate to reclaim his position as Santa after mischief caused by Jack Frost
02:53causes him to lose his job.
02:55Frost is played by comedy legend Martin Short in the film, and during the end credits bloopers,
03:00audiences can see the magic that resulted from having two comedic icons on the screen
03:05at the same time.
03:15Although The Santa Claus III was a critical failure, it performed decently at the box
03:19office.
03:20Regardless, it remains a beloved series set around a joyous holiday, with the end credits
03:25bloopers showcasing a similar kind of fun that was had on set.
03:29"...Is my acting somehow humorous to you?"
03:33Although many moviegoers know Zach Galifianakis for his appearances in films like The Hangover
03:38and Due Date, those who follow him online are familiar with the different side of the
03:42comedian.
03:43His comedy talk show Between Two Ferns debuted on Funny or Die in 2008, featuring high-profile
03:48guests ranging from Brad Pitt to Barack Obama.
03:52When it was announced that Between Two Ferns would make the jump to feature-length comedy,
03:56many fans of the series were puzzled as to how it would work as a longer story.
04:00Nonetheless, Between Two Ferns the movie premiered on Netflix in 2019 and saw Galifianakis play
04:05a fictional version of himself as he interviews celebrities and tries to keep his show alive.
04:10Featuring cameos from celebrities like Brie Larson, Keanu Reeves, and Benedict Cumberbatch,
04:14the film was subject to decent reviews and compared to some of the more watchable Saturday
04:19Night Live spinoffs.
04:21Of course, one of the best parts comes during the end credits, when we see some of the takes
04:25that didn't make it into the final cut.
04:27Given that Between Two Ferns bloopers are hard to come by, to the point that it's not
04:31always clear whether Galifianakis is being serious or making a joke, it makes for a heartwarming
04:36ending to see Galifianakis break character in between insults.
04:40It seems like everyone involved had a blast making the movie, especially Paul Rudd, whose
04:44improvisations turned Galifianakis red-faced and hysterical.
04:48Oh, James Franco wears corrective lenses.
04:56Will Ferrell's movies were some of the best studio comedies throughout the early 2000s.
05:00Hot off of Saturday Night Live, Ferrell starred in critically acclaimed comedies like Elf,
05:05Zoolander, and Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
05:08His films also often contain end credits blooper reels, like the first Anchorman movie,
05:13which featured Ferrell making his castmates break during improvised scenes.
05:18Following the success of his earlier films, Ferrell teamed up with actor John C. Reilly
05:22in 2006's Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, a spiritual successor to Anchorman
05:27centered on the world of race car driving.
05:30Ferrell plays the titular Ricky Bobby, a NASCAR celebrity whose life is derailed after he
05:35is outshone by a new driver played by Sacha Baron Cohen.
05:39The rest of the supporting cast includes Amy Adams, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jane Lynch,
05:43but this movie's blooper reel puts the spotlight mostly on Ferrell and Reilly.
05:4798% of us will die at some point in our lives.
05:50The darkness is creeping towards you, whether you know it or not.
05:53The two comics bounce off each other easily during outtakes of a dinner party scene and
05:57make each other break during chaotic scenes.
06:00It's no wonder they reunited to make Step Brothers two years later.
06:03Rush Hour was released in 1998, sparking a multi-million dollar franchise led by actor-star
06:09Jackie Chan and comedian Chris Tucker.
06:11The two play an unlikely pair of cops tasked with rescuing the kidnapped daughter of a
06:16Chinese politician.
06:17This film is as thrilling as it is hilarious, and audiences loved it so much that they kept
06:22coming back for sequels.
06:24Part of what made The Rush Hour films such amazing theater-going experiences, besides
06:28the appeal of the movies themselves, were the end credits blooper reels.
06:33Each of the three installments in The Rush Hour franchise includes a number of outtakes
06:37that are shown off as the credits roll.
06:39They're excellent showcases of Chan's charisma on set, as he never misses an opportunity
06:44to be a true entertainer.
06:45Anything goes wrong, you bust in there and act like you're at L.A.P., blah, blah.
06:51He cannot speak English.
06:53Tucker is also a highlight of The Rush Hour bloopers, even as he rarely breaks character.
06:58Though Chan and Tucker may have seemed like an odd pair before the release of Rush Hour,
07:02his end credits prove that they're actually a match made in heaven.
07:06A more recent film that showcases some quality bloopers is the 2022 Paramount Plus original
07:11film Honor Society.
07:13This movie stars Anne-Gary Rice as Honor Rose, a Type-A student determined to get her advisor's
07:18recommendation to Harvard while competing with her classmate Michael, played by Gaten
07:22Matarazzo of Stranger Things fame.
07:25Her initial plan to seduce him as a distraction from his studies goes awry when the two actually
07:30fall for each other, imbuing this comedy with tons of heart and tension.
07:34However, Honor Society goes down a dark path towards the end, as it's revealed that Michael
07:38had been manipulating Honor the entire time in an effort to secure the recommendation
07:42for himself.
07:43Honor eventually one-ups Michael by securing it instead for her friend Kennedy, prioritizing
07:47her friendships over both romance and her own academic success.
07:51Nevertheless, the film closes out with an end-credits blooper reel that leaves audiences
07:55remembering the film's fun rather than its darker aspects.
07:59Though it doesn't feature as many outtakes or improvisational moments from its cast,
08:03this kind of end-credits reel showcases the chemistry between the film's actors, particularly
08:08Rice and Matarazzo as its leads.
08:11Few end-credits blooper reels are as notable as the one shown in the 1979 film Being There,
08:17directed by Hal Ashby of Herald & Maud fame.
08:20This classic film stars Peter Sellers as an oblivious gardener who ends up becoming a
08:24political power player after meeting a rich couple played by Melvin Douglas and Shirley
08:28McClain.
08:29The film was one of Sellers' biggest hits, and garnered numerous award nominations and
08:34wins, including a Golden Globe win for Sellers and a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award
08:39for Douglas.
08:40Though it was more uncommon at the time, Being There ends with a blooper reel of a single
08:44scene as the credits roll.
08:46We see Sellers struggle to keep a straight face as he dryly quotes a man who threatened
08:50him at knife point earlier on.
08:52"...what was the message, Mr. Gardner?"
08:55"...now get this honky."
09:01Even though Sellers was seemingly a shoo-in for Best Actor at the Oscars that year, the
09:05category would eventually be won by Dustin Hoffman for his performance in Kramer vs.
09:09Kramer.
09:10According to Douglas' granddaughter, Sellers felt the end-credits blooper cost him the
09:14award, revealing his brilliant performance in the film as exactly that, a performance.
09:19This Is 40, written and directed by Judd Apatow, also features a single scene's outtakes
09:24over its end credits.
09:26The 2012 comedy mostly centers on Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprising their roles of Pete
09:31and Debbie from Apatow's Knocked Up as they grapple with parenthood relationship issues
09:35and their careers.
09:37This Is 40 also features an incredibly robust supporting cast, including Megan Fox, John
09:41Lithgow, Jason Segel, Lena Dunham, and Chris O'Dowd.
09:45But one particular star shines the brightest.
09:48That would be Melissa McCarthy, who in 2012 was rolling on the huge success of Bridesmaids,
09:53which was released the previous year.
09:55In This Is 40, she plays Catherine, a fellow parent at Pete and Debbie's children's school
09:59who files a complaint with the principal for their daughter's behavior.
10:02In the outtakes, McCarthy goes on a rampaging improvisation about her violent urges toward
10:07the two stoic parents, which causes Rudd and Mann to break character several times.
10:12I would like to rear up and jackknife my legs and kick you both in the f----- jaw with my
10:17foot bone.
10:20It's no wonder McCarthy became such a Hollywood comedy staple in the years that followed.
10:24Her appearance in This Is 40 was a precursor to her reign in studio comedies throughout
10:28the 2010s, including Identity Thief, The Heat, and Spy.
10:32Horrible Bosses features a powerful sampling of comedic talent.
10:36The 2011 film centers on a group of three friends, played by Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman,
10:41and Charlie Day, whose frustrations with their inept, sociopathic, and sadistic bosses
10:45result in them planning to murder their superiors.
10:48The movie is not only hilarious, but a surprisingly thrilling comedic romp involving murder, espionage,
10:53and life-or-death stakes.
10:55Given the number of stars and laughs involved, it's no wonder that this film ends with a
10:58blooper reel over the credits.
11:00The hilarious chemistry between Sudeikis, Bateman, and Day is on full display as they
11:04make each other break down laughing.
11:06Another highlight includes Colin Farrell's hilarious improvisations with a deadpan pharmacist,
11:11a scene that didn't make the film's final cut.
11:13Viewers found the blooper reel so entertaining that one was included again in the film's
11:17sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, which also introduced the talents of Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz.
11:22Pixar earned its place in movie history with a string of hits, starting with Toy Story
11:27in 1995.
11:28That was quickly followed up with A Bug's Life in 1998 and Toy Story 2 in 1999.
11:34In 2001, the studio would entrust Pete Docter to direct his first of many Pixar films with
11:39Monsters, Inc., which takes place in a world where monsters harvest children's screams
11:43in order to fuel their city.
11:45The film thrives due to its likable characters, with its two leads, Sully and Mike, voiced
11:49by John Goodman and Billy Crystal, respectively.
11:52Pixar's animated blooper tradition began with A Bug's Life, but Monsters, Inc. was the last
11:56of their productions to be released with them in the credits.
11:59However, unlike the other movies on this list, Pixar outtakes aren't genuine mistakes.
12:04Go ahead, go throw up.
12:08What?
12:08What did I say?
12:09What?
12:10What?
12:11The outtakes of Monsters, Inc. that play through the credits are fully animated and voice-acted,
12:16including a Toy Story cameo and several scenes from the company play Put That Thing Back
12:20Where It Came From or So Help Me.
12:22This tradition, as brief as it was, made Pixar's characters even more lovable than they already
12:27are.
