Paid $12 for a used VHS of a local news blooper reel at a garage sale in Dayton, and the tape had 4 extra minutes of the anchor cursing at the weather guy
I grabbed it thinking it was just the usual fumbled names and missed cues, but around the 22 minute mark the broadcast cut to a hot mic and you can hear the anchor call the meteorologist a 'human barometer with a god complex.' The tape also has a segment where the wrong graphic pops up for a full 40 seconds, showing a funeral home ad under the headline 'Manhunt Continues.' My favorite part is the sports guy reading the scores while a fly crawls across his forehead and he never breaks eye contact with the camera. Has anyone else found old station tapes like this, or is it just me digging through people's garages for gold?

Found a 1994 Toledo tape where the weather guy mumbled "not this crap again" before the forecast.
