Bill Dance Bloopers: Real or Real Fake?
The more Bill Dance bloopers I see, the more I wonder if they are real or staged. Is it possible that this man is really THAT clumsy, or is he intentional setting himself for disaster? Here’s a classic example, Bill precariously balances his fishing rod on a seat while he picks up his other rod…
And another prime example, Bill shows us his fishing rod while indoors, standing under a ceiling fan…
What do you think, are these bloopers the real deal, or is Bill Dance a comedic genius?
There’s no way anyone is that stupid, He’s funny as F… but it’s gotta be set up. Personally i think he’s the dogs bollocks!
If this guy is this much of a knob, his sponsors should send me some gear and a camera man. I won’t lose or break any of the equipment and am surely willing to act as the comic relief and fall off the boat, get hooks stuck in me, etc… for the right price!!
here’s one with the hook in his nose.

Its not easy getting a a set of hooks in you like that. I’ve been hit by lures several times (and hit people with lures) and never had a hook stick in me.
I’m thinkin’ the FIX is in…..there’s just NO way anyone can be that clumsy.
Bill Dance sucks. He hooks the fish the same spot in the mouth everytime. Everything is set-up. He is a doosh bag.
Obvious fakes. How anyone can think they are real is a mystery to me. Must appeal to UFO/Bigfoot enthusiasts. ~ Walt
These are not fake. Bill spends hundreds of hours on the water every year. If you were out there that much and had all of that free gear you would make mistakes also.
Think about, You or I go and buy the best rods and reels we can afford. Often at times we sacrifice something else so that we can buy these things. Since we have put so much of our time and money into them we are extremely careful with them. His stuff is free!
By the way I have had many a cat fish snatch a rod over the side. After loosing just one rod, all of my rods are tied in with a string to the boat, even if they are in a rod holder. If I am fishing with just one rod then no i don’t tie it in.
Bill just gets it all for free and if he was shelling out his own cash it would not be as funny nor would he be able to keep fishing.
When I lost my 60 dollar catfish rig over the side thank god the was no camera.
I think some of them have to be staged. Did you see the one where he was on a dock handing off items to put in the boat. The guy was in the very still boat taking on the items. Then BD turns around with his back to the guy and grabs a battery to put on board. You can see that someone tugged the boat and it got out of the way just in time for him not only to dump the battery in the water, but all of a sudden BD swings himself in the water too. That was absolutely staged.
I think maybe his camera team have a lot of fun making him look dumb its not staged in the way that Bill isN’t expecting some of the things to happen but his production team has a giggle on it.
Like Tiffany said at 7:20 and forward in this you can see the tugging: http://www.wimp.com/fishingbloopers/
Also the clip before that one is an obvius prank. So much is fake but maybe not everything.
All of this sucks.
Everyone knows I am a klutz when I’m around water. I have great respect for Bill Dance because he is a greater klutz than I am, and no, I don’t think any of his bloopers are staged.
I’ve been a fisherman all my life, since about 4 yrs old. Here in the more recent years I usually go (top-water black/large mouth bass) fishing about 30 to 50 times a year. Just the 2 videos you’ve posted I have had happen to myself personally, both several times. I’ve had 3 rod from what I remember, getting pulled off a boat. And wasted 2 rods in cilling fans. Any real fisherman knows there’s a million things that can go wrong, especially in front of a camera. Enjoy it as is or don’t watch it.
Sorry Dance fans but Bill is the biggest fraud in the business.
He never films a show on an actual lake, it’s all done in ponds/watersheds and by the looks of the scenery it’s usually the same pond. You never see another boat on the water, you never see a house or a boat dock nor do you ever hear him mention the name of the lake he is on. You could literally catch bass on night crawlers and dough balls in the pond he films his shows on.
And these bloopers are just sad. Bill isn’t a good enough actor to pull them off. Obviously there all staged just like everything else he does. To the folks who believe this stuff is real I’ll sell you my oceanfront property in Kansas for a great price.
Uh who really cares if its fake or not? Its funny as hell. Most of you must not really know who Bill Dance is. He has been doing this since the 60’s people and he made mistakes then. YES he is THAT big of a klutz.
The lake that he fishes on is a private lake and the bass are fed and fattened up by a feeder machine along the bank. the video were he strikes his knee on the trailer hitch, if you slow the video down you can see that there is padding around his leg.
I am paid by Bill to tell you that these videos are real. he also doesnt want t you to know that all his fish on his private lake are fed by feeders. also the fish are also kept in pens …..on yea he also stages prehooked fish on staged rods on the lake the picks up the pre stage rod with the fish already hooked and films from hook-set on. Thank for watching these videos are not fake
This stuff is funny but if you think any of it is real, then your the gullible type they are looking for to watch his shows and buy dvd’s. Some of you mention these things have happened to you before. You don’t think they are common things that happen to others too and these guys just recreated it for footage???? The skits are well set up for the most part but if you believe it’s real, then let me tell you about the fish that got away yesterday.
