Fake Bloopers Posted September 14, 2003: You know all those real-life, caught-on-video bloopers and accidents that are the staple of shows like 'Funniest Home Videos'? Guess what? According to the Hollywood Reporter A lot of them are staged. The market for bloopers has simply become too large to rely on accidental bloopers alone. Comments: most recent posts first The recently cancelled British talk show "The Johnny Vaughan Show" had, for a while, a segment called "You've been Faked", a spoof of the British home video bloopers show "You've been Framed". The idea behind the segment was that you sent in your staged home video bloopers and got a prize for the most obviously staged ones. A sort of competition for hoaxes.
