News Bloopers 1980s (explicit language)

Mostly from KTVU in Oakland these are live moments gone bad. Don't watch if easily offended. Bad words. Sick humor.

[@brainybroccoli4499]

Omg, the soundtrack of the presidential debate, just nearly made me pee myself!!!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

"It's too hard to pull out!" "What the heck? ....Awww shit!" ;)

[@DamienDrake]

Yeah, what the hell happened there and how did anyone manage to get the director's audio? And who the hell records the audio from the director's mic unless it's being accidentally broadcast? I can't figure out the logistics, but it gave me a good laugh.

I was thinking the same thing, like the first one...I didn't really see anything that would be considered a blooper, just a few seconds of silence after she stopped talking/reading, but that's not really a big deal IMO...I don't know, maybe I missed something? 🤔

"You sons.....are dead motherfuckers."

[@chrislawson7983]

Where's the beef? Dad is that you?

[@slewofdamascus]

For you youngsters, "rubbers" used to mean boots for your feet made out of water-resistant rubber or rubber-like material which people would wear when it rains. I can still hear my grandmother saying "put on your rubbers" before we'd go outside in the rain. The "rubbers" were always stored by the front door for handiness.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word rubbers here in Los Angeles or growing up in San Diego😂 We’re boring, we all just say condoms or protection. And it doesn’t rain, so we don’t own rainboots. I felt bad for the earnest weather guy, he was always trying so hard but accidentally saying something sexual, like about the growing bush 😂😂😂

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

My grandad used to say the same thing and my girlfriend (now wife) had a look of shock on her face the first time she heard him say it. All these years later my feet may be dry but I have 3 kids.

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

At least when it's raining, anyway...I guess when it's dry out, you don't need condoms.

[@MDK2_Radio]

I was in the Boy Scouts around this time, and there was a bit in the official handbook for packing clothes for camping that included "pair of rubbers, light weight" which the senior patrol leader read aloud and got the whole troop rolling on the floor.

[@Ocho_Guruma]

The steak at 2:20 hahaha

[@armybeef68]

I will never ever forget hearing the anchor when I was in Carbondale Illinois, forgot the year, maybe '81 or '82', and the channel, but hearing the female anchor saying, live mind you, "And Mt St Helens has had another erection"

[@gatsuuga9]

My news team gave me a steak, said it was my dad. I told them my dad ain't a steak!! And then I threw it on the ground

[@buckodonnghaile4309]
