A gag reel is a collection of outtakes, bloopers or unused footage from a film or television production. It typically features scenes that were not included in the final cut of the movie or show due to various reasons such as poor quality, lack of continuity with the storyline, or simply because they were deemed unnecessary for the overall narrative. The term "gag reel" comes from the idea that these clips are meant to be humorous and entertaining in their own right, often showing actors messing up lines, tripping over props, or making silly faces during takes. Gag reels may be included as a bonus feature on DVDs or Blu-ray releases of movies or TV shows, providing fans with an behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and offering some lighthearted fun amidst all the serious drama.
