Throw It In / Web Animation

• Elements of Justice features one character whose voice actor mispronounces the name "Coco Pommel." This was ultimately turned into a gag at the character's expense.
• Machinima as a genre took off largely due to Red vs. Blue — and Red vs. Blue uses a glitch that caused magnums to look like they are held at ease, allowing civil-looking conversation. (Look all the way down with the magnum. The player model's head snaps back up.) Back during the Halo CE sections, it was noticeable when they drew their weapons because they were suddenly looking down for a moment. Bungie liked it so much that it was a feature in Halo 2. (When out of grenades, hold the grenade button.) They scaled it back to only available in local games in Halo 3 and Reach as a move to prevent ^BXR game-breaking button combo shenanigans. Halo machinima suffered, with many of the large teams who didn't happen to live and work together falling apart.
• Red vs. Blue has it frequently with its dialogue too, as the actors are given free rein to come up with funny lines.
  • In Season 3, Sarge is barking out orders to the Red Team and at one point tells Donut "Scream like a woman!". Originally, it was supposed to have been him just screaming a bit as he ran off screen, but he ended up running across the zone, screaming all sorts of nonsense, which was agreed to be an improvement.
  • Sarge himself is a bigger case, with his recording sessions reported to last longer because Matt Hullum loves to go off-script for some in-character rambling.
  • In Season 14's "Head Cannon", during a sequence set inside of Sarge's mind, several members of Blue Team are seen getting shot/thrown away by explosions within a war zone. However, during the machinimation of the scene, the "Caboose" model accidentally fell over while walking down a street. The scene was so funny that the animators got Joel Heyman to record an additional line for Caboose ('Alas, I have tripped!').
  • In season 15, Gus Sorola came up with Gene saying "I'm gonna Darth Maul this and come back in a shitty video game!" And in a cross with Permanent Placeholder, Joe Nicolosi was originally going to voice Lorenzo, and Burnie Burns provided him with reference audio to help him with the role. However, Nicolosi thought Burns' Italian was so hilariously terrible that he decided to just use the temp audio instead.
  • In season 16, after seeing the line "We've been pulling out the building blocks of time one by one, now it could topple over. Do you know what that means?", Matt Hullum improvised the metaphor "Time is Jenga", something that wound up incorporated in the following episode's script.
  • In Season 17, Miles Luna was struggling to figure out how Wash (who was engaging in Mental Time Travel) could figure out how to learn where Carolina went after Faking the Dead. Season director Jason Weight then asked why Wash didn't just go to a point where he and Carolina were friends and ask her there. Miles paused for a moment, then screamed, "GODDAMNIT!" He then proceeded to write that exact scenario into the script (where the solution is voiced by the stupidest character in the franchise for bonus points).
  • A dramatic and musical case happened in the Dark Reprise "Contact Redux". Meredith Hagan accidentally misplaced a lyric - while "Contact" has the line "One of us won't be forgotten", she sung "One of us will be forgotten". After both her and Miles Luna realized how unintentionally powerful that lyrical change was (specially given the song plays after an Heroic Sacrifice where a Living Memory effectively erases itself), though, they decided to keep it.
• The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage had a few animation errors that were kept in for laughs:
  • Link's recurring eye pop was accidentally discovered in Part 1 when the team was choosing between two different textures for his model. It was left in and later became a Running Gag in the series.
  • While the team was tinkering with the cloth dynamics for Ganon's robe during the production of Part 3, it accidentally fell off when he threw Majora's Mask at the wall. They decided that the thought of the Great Evil King's robe falling off was too funny to leave out.
• The flash series Four Swords Misadventures had quite a few ad-libs in its episodes:
  • In episode 4, the priest who expressed shock at Link's swear was not originally supposed to speak spanish, but HaidoukenDude thought it would have been funny.
  • Red stating that Green should "keep the tunic on" was added in by the creator.
  • When writing the scene for them running to the elder's house, he unintentionally made a reference to Resident Evil.
  • During the episodes where Red Link ended up becoming drunk from Chateau Romani, Red's voice actor suggested that he give Red a slurred southern accent while he was drunk, as well as improvise several of his lines (such as when explaining how he "knew" that "Chuck Norris's fist" was the answer to the third question as well as several lines in Red's drunken rant during the second part of the Phoenix Wright-esque debate). Another VA also suggested that they add in Red stumbling while entering the Castle Gates.
  • In Episode 5, the line where one of the villagers identifies Blue and Purple Link (a.k.a., the Cock Boys) to the crowd was originally intended to be for the Running Man character that they met beforehand, but HaidoukenDude wanted to finish the episode quickly so he rewrote it for another villager.
  • In Episode 6, Vaati's slide show detailing Tingle ripping off the Links with maps at high prices, as well as Link's "It's over 9000!" line within the slideshow was improvised by HaidoukenDude.
  • The pair of Hinoxes that Shiek bumped into was originally supposed to both be voiced by HaidoukenDude, but he ended up voicing the green version instead.
  • Most of the infamous riot scene in the ending of Episode 6 was actually improvised and not in the original script.
  • Red's reaction to and speech about the potion eliminating his hangover in the ending of Episode 7 was an ad-lib. Likewise, his snoring while passed-out drunk from the aftermath of the fight as well as his earlier line of "Let go of me, you Purple Pissant! Me and the Green boy gotta talk!" in response to Green's statement of he should kill him first if he should get to Zelda, and his line when giving a drunken beatdown on Dark Link ("Oh look, I broke a nail on your face!"), were improvised by Red's voice actor, Richard.
  • HaidoukenDude even admitted that he often allows for the voice actors to take liberties when delivering the lines and doing situations when making the episode after creating the script.
• The Most Popular Girls in School should be called "Throw It In!: The Series". Way too many of the beautiful one-liners aren't even part of the original script.
• At the end of If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, Magnus can be heard murmuring "my god", which is either his show of reverence to Tzeentch or his voice actor catching his breath after almost a minute of repeating "rabble rabble rabble".
  • There's also Magnus's Australian accent, that was created when his Texan voice actor tried to sound British.
• A few times in RWBY, the actors were told to add in their own lines from time to time:
  • Yang's "Nailed it." after her landing in the forest is improvised.
  • Ruby's comment about Blake liking to eat tuna a lot after learning that Blake is a cat faunus was added in by her actress.
  • Before the food fight in volume 2, Yang makes a pun about how she starts her semesters off with "a Yang". Originally, she was supposed to say that she could tie cherry stems with her tongue, but that was hard to animate.
  • Jaques Schnee's tie in volume 7 didn't go all the way around his neck. Popular streamer MurderOfBirds caught on to that detail and started mocking him for wearing a clip-on tie, and when Rooster Teeth heard about it, they shrugged and declared it canon.
• Dorkly Originals "10 Kids Cartoons Hiding Dirty, Filthy Jokes" has the puppet make some exceedingly uncomfortable jokes about the clearly underage Chippettes being "legal" because they're "like 27 in chipmunk years"... and then promptly break character to complain how wrong it feels:
  Fuzzy Puppet: They're free to make whatever legal decisions they want! With me! Oh yeah! (Beat) Tha-that felt terrible, Tony.
  [Tony Bursts out laughing]
  Fuzzy Puppet: Honestly, I understand I'm in character but there's standards, Tony.
• In Part III of Bart the General, a door bell can be heard ringing in the background when Bart talks about throwing a sponge at a mirror.
• Strong Bad Email: This happened to "sb_email 22" which was presented as a lost episode and uploaded in between the 40th and 41st emails. The Brothers Chaps didn't realize they skipped 22 when numbering the emails until after the "23rd" one "little animal" was released.
• The fourth episode of Helluva Boss was apparently going to have an "Everybody Laughs" Ending, but the audio for everyone laughing failed except for Wally Wackford. Vivziepop liked the comedic awkwardness of having Wally being the only one laughing enough that the crew decided to roll with it, making it so Wally was the only one laughing while everyone else stands around in awkward silence.
• The Pink City: According to Gooseworx, Gop vanishing when confronted by Vondu in "Elain Gets Adopted" was an accident which she left in and worked into the story because it was funny.
