gag reel
Flubbed takes montage
A gag reel is a compilation of bloopers, flubbed lines, and on-set mishaps from a film or television production—the moments when actors crack up, forget their words, or break character.
Studios often include gag reels as bonus features on home video releases: The DVD extras include a ten-minute gag reel.
