Every day, professional news anchors and reporters hit the airwaves on live television to report the day's news. When mistakes happen, because let's face it, mistakes always happen, those on-air screw-ups are seen by a lot of people. Now that it's so easy to upload videos to YouTube, the trend of news bloopers achieving viral video status has really gotten to be huge. Before you know it, your embarrassing moment gets turned into an animated gif, and if you're really unlucky, you'll even become a meme. Horrors! Take a look at some of our favorite funny news bloopers from the past few years.

01 of 12 Pigs Running Rampant News Blooper Via YouTube/Purple Vines and Bloopers This simple camera and graphics slip up results in one very funny image! Oops...

02 of 12 LEGALLY HIGH: BBC News Reporter Inhales Burning Drugs and Can't Finish Report Via YouTube/Cannabis Club Australia If you need a laugh and you only have time to watch one blooper, make it this one! BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville was reporting about the drug problems in Afghanistan while standing in front of a pile of burning drugs... What could possibly go wrong with this scenario?! You guessed it; suddenly the smoke got to him and he could not. Stop. Giggling. A grown man, trying desperately to do his job... while giggling like a little school girl. CLASSIC!

03 of 12 Captain Jack Sparrow Kisses News Reporter on Live TV Via YouTube/WorldStarVirals Reporter Madison Brooks was reporting live from Hollywood Boulevard when a man dressed up in full Captain Jack Sparrow garb totally video bombed her! First, he leans in and smells her hair, then he tries to kiss her. The look on her face is PRICELESS!

04 of 12 Anchors Can't Stop Laughing at Pig With Large Testicles Via YouTube/Funny Local News A pig named Goliath lived up to his name during a segment on this local news channel. After the video inexplicably showed B-roll of the pig's rear end, complete with a pair of the biggest pig testicles you've ever seen, the anchors totally lost it!

05 of 12 Reporter Gets Owned by Sled Via Break While reporting on a snowy hillside, this reporter doesn't see a sled come flying towards him... until it's too late. What follows is an amazing feat of accidental acrobatics. The best part? He somehow manages to finish his report! What a pro.

06 of 12 Rookie Anchor AJ Clemente Fired After Worst First Day Ever (NSFW - Language) D Dipasupil/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images AJ Clemente had what could be the worst first day at a new job, ever. In fact, his first day was also his last day. While his co-anchor was reading the introduction, Clemente apparently didn't know that he was live on air, or that his mic was also live, so he can clearly be heard muttering expletives as the show opens. Awkward!

07 of 12 Reporter Turns Ghetto in 3 Seconds (NSFW - Language) This reporter is giving a perfectly fine stand-up in a country pasture somewhere, when he suddenly gets startled and his "on-air" personality goes out the window! Too funny.

08 of 12 News Anchor Loses His Script This is a very short clip, but it is 21 seconds of pure awkward comedy. Here we see what happens when a news anchor starts a story and then discovers that he has no script to finish it. What would you do? Probably the same thing he does... fumble and try to move on, fast!

09 of 12 Minnesota Interviewer Gets Tackled on Live TV This nice Minnesotan lady was doing a football themed interview on live TV when things got a little out of hand. That had to hurt.

10 of 12 Shepard Smith's Taboo Blooper Via Fox News In 2002, Fox News's Shepard Smith was reporting on Jennifer Lopez when he made a very unfortunate (fun-fortunate?) verbal blunder. You know it's bad when a veteran anchor feels the need to immediately apologize.

11 of 12 Bill O'Reilly freaking out! This is another classic viral news moment. Watch as Bill O'Reilly completely loses his cool over a busted teleprompter. (As if we needed more reasons to think he was unstable!)
