Live TV is the Wild West of content. While scripted television has the benefit of being, well, scripted, anything can happen when you turn a camera on and have your face live-streaming to millions of viewers.

Given this, it’s no surprise that out-of-context live TV clips have been a staple of internet content since the early days of video sharing. Now, a viral X/Twitter thread has sought to catalog the best — or worst — of live TV since its early days, and boy, are there a lot of gems in here.

Enjoy some of our favorite live TV screwups.
