“Large fester” - Hilarious MLS Blooper Eruptions

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

Hi, Friends. It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the blooper reel is back with more gaffes than I have time to tripe...uh, I mean "type". Thanks to Jan Pastras and Patrick Martin of Los Angeles for their very funny (albeit pathetic) blooper submissions. I am beginning to think that proper spelling is hysterectomy…or whatever Siri thought I just said. Enjoy:

That’s Not What I Said

“Jazzmen trees” (That explains why Herbie Hancock is hanging from my tree.)

“Enter another wad” (Grinned Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan while shoving a plug of nasty tobacco into his gob.)

“Feed the sand” (This must be the gourmet version of a sh_t sandwich.)

“Large fester” (Caption under Donald Trump's Senior Year photo.)

"Steelers in kitchen” (Does Pittsburgh know they’re missing?)

Okay, I Said It, But I Didn’t Mean It

“Lots of fresh err” (“To err is human,” said Alexander Pope. “To forgive idiocy is impossible,” say I.)

“Amazing parting” (Yelled the crowds as Moses split the sea and then took a bow.)

“Strep dawn living room” (Dawn should be under quarantine)

“Drawing for Lackers tics” (That gaffe could get you a big bag-o-Kobe all over your a_ _.)

Am I Mumbling?

“Walk to marinara” (Mumbled Don Corleone as he took away Fredo’s keys to the Caddy.)

“Appliances in stall” (That should satisfy the high demand for cow milking machines.)

“Sand-blasted gass” (The end result of dinner in the Sudan.)

“Wood tooshes throught” (This must be the mission statement for Spanks.)

“Good nursing school nearby for kids” (What do they play at recess – Toss the Enema?)

Siri Must be a Descendant of Freud

“Action set for Sat at noon” (And then you'll nap at 12:01, right, dude?)

"Good stove, girll missing" (Replied Manti Te'o when asked why he was sweating so profusely.)

 

That’s it for this week, folks. Remember: spell well and sell!

Kim, I agree. I have been doing this post almost every Friday for four years, and I never run out of material. English is a difficult language, no doubt, but carelessness is an equally common lingual challenge!

I'm guessing these agents don't proof their MLS listings. I never understand that.

Gwen, funny!  I just wrote one by accident, fortunately I caught it before it went to print (even after my partner and seller read it for mistakes).

...home features many luxurious details including a chef's kitchen with a built-in wine cooler and walk-in pantry, pet area.

I was thinking pantry or pet area, you choose!  lol

Thanks for the laughter today :)

Tammie, I'm sure the sellers are even LESS understanding!

Christina, I have seen "walk-in panty" but never a pantry/pet area. Perhaps this is a kitchen in a Third World country...or a lingerie shop / snack bar for pampered Hollywood dogs :-)

Gwen -- loved the one about "Amazing Parting".  And all these years I thought the Large Fester was at the Addams' family mansion.

Thanks, Steven - Moses certainly earned that recognition. And why didn't I think of Uncle Fester??? I must be slipping!

Bill, some folks might disagree with you, so I appreciate your support...and incidentally, my dog thinks you have excellent judgment.

Gwen,

My friend.. you will never run out of material, that is for sure. Some of those bloopers are so absurd I wonder if the writers had been drinking.

Patty, at least they would have an excuse if they had been drinking. That's always my excuse :-)

Thanks for the laughs, Gwen! As always, your list of comedic errors has left me shaking my head. How can people not proofread what they right rite write? It only takes a minute, and can prevent a lot of embarrassing egg on the face...

Pat and Wayne, I'm not sure some of these people are conscious enough to be embarrassed. It's hard to feel shame when you are asleep under a bar stool :-)

Hello Gwen,

I am behind, terrible "techie" week...

I love the tie in to poor Manti Te'o - that whole story seems too bizarre!
