Back in the dawn of time, in the early days of tv, when no one dared say anything or acknowledge the most basic bodily functions, those afternoon game shows were being broadcast live.
On one of those ‘guess the…’ shows they had a circus guy who brought along an elephant. Big response when the curtain opens, the audience is wowed, everything is going exactly as the producers had hoped. And then, well, nature called and the elephant responded. The camera operator didn’t know what to do, the host was beyond talking, the gamers were aghast and the audience was in tears of laughter. So, he focused on the only one in the studio who was still composed - the elephant - until they could cut to commercial!
If I recall correctly, the Shockmaster’s infamous debut was live.
Judy Finnegan’s wardrobe malfunction.
Being Britain most of the ensuing commentary focused on the omg why was she wearing a *white bra *under a black dress question-- when they weren’t laughing at husband Richard for thinking the audience reaction was for his Ali G impersonation.
The ‘I can’t act stoned’ one? Yeah, that was uncomfortable as hell. But the skit was stupid anyway.
The coversation here is hilarious.
WWF’s Sid Vicious broke his leg pretty much in half on a live telecast. Here it is. Warning, it’s pretty disturbing. No blood, but…legs aren’t supposed to flop like that.
Thanks, man, I would rather see the Theisman break again 100 times than to see that.

Shoot, despite seeing it on TV a few times I cannot find a specific failed marriage proposal online. It’s at a game, I can’t remember what kind, maybe basketball. Anyway, the girlfriend is taken on to the court to a large box. The boyfriend pops out of the box with the ring, the girlfriend stares in shock and then walks off.
Since I can’t find that one, I’ll just post 9 public proposals gone painfully wrong.
There was a Red Skelton “blooper” sketch (I think I saw it on video years ago) with a cow or horse (I can’t remember which) answered the call of nature.
Was it this one?
I remember seeing a Johnny Carson “Tonight Show” with some naturalist who had brought a coyote or fox. The camera showed the animal beginning to squat, then cut away to Johnny and the guests (I think one was Godfrey Cambridge) with their slightly disgusted reactions to the call of nature.
Which I mentioned in post #93.
I agree with you all, and I thought the same thing when I first saw it–but I recall this when it happened, and shortly after a photo of her showed up actually holding whatever it was [some kind of electronical device]. You’ll notice the small “bulge” in the front right corner. The photo of her holding the doohickey had the same characteristic bulge. I’ll try to find it. If you look closely at it, and an image of Marlboro Lights, it’s close, but not it–and I don’t know what brand it might have been to have had that kind of marking (but I am not a cig expert).
Shaun Ryder/ Black Grape on TFI Friday was pretty bad for TFI Friday, although it was amusing to see.
Sorry, but no.
You didn’t really see it on the live PPV, it was the next night on Monday Nitro where they kept replaying it over and over again. Also, it was in WCW, not WWF.
