These Mistakes Made It To TV

Television bloopers that were too good to cut.

Was Howard really fit enough to be an astronaut? If Sheldon cannot understand sarcasm, how does he so frequently use it? And did he not see the striking image of his late father in Leonard’s childhood bully Jimmy Speckerman?

Questions like these inadvertently occur to the discerning, TV devouring mind. They say your ardence as a true fan reflects in the number of plot holes you discovered in a series and how many convoluted storylines you survived. And sometimes, sheer accuracy falls through when the creators put in an intentional mistake.

Movie mistakes have numerous roots. In historical depictions and period dramas, for instance, props serve as cultural markers. It would therefore be just as jarring to see the wrong model of a Volkswagen in the eighties as TV Aerials in the early twentieth century. But other goof ups like The Simpsons foreshadowing its own character arrivals are simply enjoyable at best and silly, at worst. It’s also probably a little far fetched to expect absolute correctness-history wise or source material wise- from a standard eight-hour TV series. Creators are, after all, allowed a certain amount of creative liberty. And when that runs out, there’s always the good old suspension of disbelief to lean on. Did you ever stop to question why cars burst into flames when fired with one gunshot?

Step into this video to discover more of these examples of iconic, long-running TV shows that have glaring continuity mistakes, errors, bloopers, plot holes and anachronisms.

The amount of times he says Downton wrong is painful

[sableempire]

I missed “Down-town” Abbey. I watched Downton Abbey.

[stunicholls]

Oh my word.. my dude.. DownTON not Downtown.. as the dowager would say, "when you talk like that I'm tempted to ring your nanny and have you put to bed with no supper"

[producerevan]

Lol when you realise dude has never even seen DownTON Abbey 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🙌

[Levi-xbsz]

Calling it "down-town" abbey 🤦‍♂️

[jacqi]

8:07 Are you sure it DownTOWN Abbey? 😂 How could you not expect corrections with this video?

[aitchpea]

Just one little note: It's "Crowned" not "Coronated"
[edit]
Okay, two notes. Downton, not downtown.

[jacklarkin]

The lift scene make sense in the story, as in the comics Diego can hold his breath indefinitely.

[UnclePhil]

So is continually mispronouncing Downton as "Downtown" supposed to be a meta joke about leaving mistakes in?

[heythere]

Dude. It's Downton Abbey, not Downtown 😳

[lordvenjix]

Even the most critically claimed or popular TV shows can't avoid mistakes, continuity errors, or faulty facts - some easier to spot than others.

[landonmiles]

Ah yes. Downtown Abbey. The show of the girl named Abbey who runs a small drug ring downtown.

[BryanRainey]

Supernatural is back filming the last few episodes of the series according to Jared Padalecki

[mezzodave]

You’d think a guy who made talking about movies and tv shows his job would know how to pronounce Downton Abbey

[microtech]

Lol...calling it downtown abbey then doubling down and repeating it again for proof screen rant should only stick to pitch meetings

[nerfedgaming]

Sometimes mistakes can turn into perfections. Mistakes make it real.. if I could warn myself of 2020 I would just go all the way back to the 60s and live... but I'd kinda be seeing the same thing going on in the word so. We've entered the inevitable.

Love your vids man lol keep up the good work!

[DragonEleven]

Diego laughing in the elevator scene could actually be considered not a blooper... in the comics he can hold his breath almost indefinitely (an ability he doesn't get to demonstrate in the series)... so he could just be holding his breath to avoid smelling what the others were, while laughing at their distress as a result.

[KaZuKan]

Irony about mistakes when you make a mistake in the name of downTON Abby.

[kalib]

1:48 or there is a skill of Diego that he can hold his breath for a long time....

[XtomJamesExtra]

AARGGHH for a video nitpicking tv mistakes, you really didn't check your pronunciation of Downton, it isn't Down-Town, it is Down-tuhn.
