As somebody who has fainted multiple times, I can say doing that is VERY tricky, when you come around you're extremely disoriented so he really was an amazing host for pulling himself together so quickly!

[@idiotidiot5821]

Getting knocked out is different every time. I accidentally knocked myself out skating and got up right before I got ran over by a car and another time I remember being extremely disoriented from being out cold about half the time the host did and when I opened my eyes everyone was like 5 to 15 feet different spots than what I saw just before going out but I didnt even know I went out. It didnt seem like there was a gap at all in framerate but it absolutely broke my brain.

I agree. There was a show with outrageous TV moments, and one clip had a contestant on The Dating Game (or similar show) randomly decide to recite a sexual poem (not explicit, but full of innuendo). He was smiling the whole time like he thought this was a cute and clever way of flirting. I think the woman was embarrassed.

Although you stated you wouldn't include violence as a part of this video, one of the creepiest moments on live TV has to be the suicide of Robert Budd Dwyer (State Treasurer of Pennsylvania) in 1987.

Max Headroom wasn't an "obscure" character. He was in one of the most popular TV shows of the year and was on magazine covers, and ended up being a huge cultural icon. Also, there were a lot of grammatical errors in the copy.

My parents just missed the Max Headroom one. They had been watching Dave Allen At Large on WTTW Channel 11 and when he was over they turned off the tv because they never watched Doctor Who. Years later I was in college and a kid in class (I was a broadcast student) who claimed he knew who did it and it was several disgruntled tv engineers.

[@vinniemascaro6649]

it wasn't likely a group of people. And the behavior wasn't resembling disgruntled behavior. It was immaturity at best "Ride the wave" or whatever the old Pepsi slogan was they were childishly repeating. Then the spanking, oh yea... definitely either youth or immaturity.

Funny story. During the Vietnam war my grandfather decided to enlist, rather then end up drafted. After basic training they lined up all the men for vaccines and then handed them a small piece of paper. I can not remember what colors grandpa said there were, but there were two. When he started talking with the guys who had the two shades, they figured out that his color meant he enlisted, the other was the men who were drafted. They found out later the colors meant where you were being stationed. Everyone with the enlisted color was sent to Korea. All the draft colors were sent to Vietnam. Bad time to be drafted.

I love how Richard Belzer asked a 6 foot 7 inch, 300 lbs. professional wrestler with 24 inch arms to put him in a head lock. Then when he inevitably got injured from voluntarily getting into the hold, he sued Hulk Hogan. That's some shit right there.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

@@PseyechoSamurai And you'd be a dead moron. That's my point. It was stupid of Belzer to ask Hogan to do that to him. He was basically daring a guy more than twice his size to try and hurt him with a legit pro wrestling hold. He was convinced that wrestling is fake and that none of the holds actually hurt. Yes, pro wrestling is a work, but the moves and the bumps still hurt. Look at Hogan now, he's 2 inches shorter then he was due to all of his back surgeries. It probably takes the guy an hour to get out of bed in the morning with how wrecked his body is.
