Luckily, though, the month didn’t just bring us dreadful weather. It also brought us a top-notch assortment of hilarious news bloopers. In this 10-minute compilation you’ll see a politician getting pelted with a sex toy, an anchor with snot dripping out of her nose and a stray dog who just won’t leave a reporter alone. As always, there are a few hilarious technical difficulties too. Oh, and then there’s the anchor who just cannot control a giggle fit, even when trying to report a tragic story. (That part begins just before the four minute mark. You don’t want to miss it.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4243630/best-news-bloopers-february-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4243630/best-news-bloopers-february-2016/"},"headline":"Watch This Reporter's Hilarious and Inappropriate On-Air Giggle Fit","datePublished":"2016-03-01T22:30:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:30:38.601Z","description":"And more, in this roundup of February's best news bloopers","url":"https://time.com/4243630/best-news-bloopers-february-2016/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4243630/best-news-bloopers-february-2016/","name":"Watch This Reporter's Hilarious and Inappropriate On-Air Giggle Fit"}}]}] ```
