In late 2009, as we stand at the pinnacle of human achievement, bathing in the warm glow of understanding that things have never been this good and couldn’t possibly get better now that we have invented everything and the world is a perfect place, it can be hard to remember the importance of the old standbys. It all gets drowned out in our up-to-the-minute obsessions with streaming episodes of Becker, and life-saving faceplant surgery. But some things just cannot be improved upon. You might be able to build a smaller, more brushed-steel Zune, but you will never replace the blooper. All you need is a person falling down, and possibly an uttered curse, and now you are cooking with bloopers. Good luck trying to top that, Stan Jobes.
After the jump, a brave new round of modern bloopers from Tennessee fisherman Bill Dance that reminds us that the more things change, the more things stay the same.
The future is now. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Etc. (Thanks for the tip, Dave and Kiri.)

I like how they bleeped out “heck”, as if this was a fishing video for toddlers.
We’re gonna need a spell check consensus on “dag gummit.”
“dag gummit” is surely MLIT for people whose life is full of fumbling
Where before one would say “I fell into a world of pain and despair. MLIT” we can now say “So I was walking down the street when I suddenly slipped on banana peel and broke my neck, dag gummit”
Gabe Gummit
you know, i always thought i was saying “dad gummit” but when i tried to break it down for my own personal spell check i realized–holy shit, i DO say dag gummit.
FAKE (is this fake? I still pissed myself.)
reminds me of a PG version of the winnebago guy
This guy is like the real-life Dorf, a.k.a. MY DREAM COME TRUE!
WHY ARE ALL OF HIS FISHING POLES SO WEAK?
“Come-ere, come-ere, come-ere, WOO!”
Just another night picking up girls for the Jersey Shore boys.
SO much Lots of Love
All the tears and snot on my face and keyboard isn’t solely due to my being sick.
And insofar as the battery is concerned, isn’t it dangerous to put those in water? Just curious. One of my favorite parts of the clip show for sure.
This part reminded me of Larry David’s run in with the black swan….
Bill Dance, an asshole and swan killer.
I’ve never heard the phrase “Dag-Gum-It” used so appropriately before I watched that video.
This show’s budget:
I don’t think “Fishing” has a “g” in this case
Pretty sure this is not fake. the guy had this outdoor show for 30 years and made 4 blooper videos. There was one clip where he gets a lure stuck in his face, seemed a hard thing to fake.
I’ve had a fishing hook stuck in my forehead once. The person who did it didn’t realize what happened and kept trying to cast his line.
Side note: Every person I work with is exactly like this guy MLIBD.
where do you work?
Give him a porkpie hat, film it in black and white, slap a ragtime piano track overtop of it, and I think we’d have ourselves a Buster Keaton movie.
“Dag Gummit” is my second favorite southern phrase, only slightly behind the elusive “Dang Nabbit”
Oh hello, new favorite thing in the entire world. How nice to get to know you.
shoot I wonder how the grape stomping lady is gonna try to top this one
this reminds me of what it was like to fish with my Grandpa with I was younger
Eesh, sorry to crash the party guys, but bloopers will die, and soon. 2012 is not a merciful beast. It spares not even the blooper.
I’m pretty sure 2012 is Earth’s blooper.
I want to store this video into a time capsule and hide it so future generations can see what the pinnacle of human civilization was in 2009.
Being a cynical Sally, I also thought this vid was too good to be true (FAKE!) – until I read up on Bill Dance and found out he’s an American Hero. Bill’s been on television since the 60’s, is a 3 time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year, and also wins the prize for Irony with his “Congressional National Water Safety Award”…. Wikipedia!
I laughed so hard at this I started coughing til my head hurt. THANKS BILL DANCE.
“Whoooaaa nelly!”
I love this guy. Can he be my uncle, please?
My roommate works at Bass Pro Shop. Needless to say, I’ve had the honor of watching many Bill Dance Blooper videos…and in a totally non ironic way.
Oh look! He caught a live one!
Hey everybody! Click da link and UPVOTE THIS, but don’t downvote me for being bossy!!! Funny call, ambarella!
A Blooper-reel featuring gentleman with an accent and purported IQ like that should be filled with him performing his job aptly. A bunch of clean takes without him gargling syllables like a mouthful of marbles would actually be funnier and potentially startling…
I guess you’re racist.
I thoroughly enjoyed this YouBloop in a non-ironic way.
christ! was that dog in some sort of dog launcher??? seriously, thats a far jumping pup!
It was dropped out of a helicopter.
Were these all filmed over the course of a day? If that’s the case then this guy’s not very good at his job.
he’s like the super-nice version of the winnebago man! loving him.
This was so much funnier than I thought it would be.
I GUESS that black swan is racist.
