Rants, breakdowns, emotional eruptions—call them whatever you want. But let’s face it, no one can say they've never lost their temper at some point. It happens to all of us, and unfortunately for these individuals, it happened when a camera or microphone was nearby. So, settle in and prepare to hear 10 people completely lose it. WARNING: The following clips contain language that may be offensive.
10. Dennis Green Furious After Losing to the Bears
Dennis Green, the normally composed head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2004 to 2006, showed a completely different side after a humiliating defeat to the Chicago Bears, where his team squandered a 20-point lead in under 20 minutes. The outburst later became the subject of a widely recognized Coors Light commercial.
9. Ed Harris Is He Really a Violent Person?
During a press event for his movie 'A History of Violence', Ed Harris stuns the audience by showcasing his unique interpretation of violence. The clip has been cut short, leaving no clear reason for his dramatic shift in demeanor.
8. Bob Dylan Glass in the Street
This segment is from the 1965 documentary 'Don’t Look Back'. A laid-back gathering in Dylan’s hotel room turns tense when a person arrives asking about glass that was tossed into the street. At first, Dylan appears out of place, but it soon becomes clear that he's simply worried about someone possibly getting injured.
7. Lily Tomlin and David O Russel 'I Heart Huckabees' Out-Takes
There was palpable tension on the set of 'I Heart Huckabees', as shown in this outtake. Actress Lily Tomlin and director David O. Russell clashed from day one of filming. Watch Jason Schwartzman in the chair—he remains completely unfazed as props fly past him!
6. Björk Guðmundsdóttir Reporter Attack
Pop star, actress, fashion icon, and, as it turns out, quite the fierce protector. Björk's wild instincts took over at the Bangkok International Airport when she attacked a reporter with the intensity of a mother bear defending her cub. She later expressed her apologies for the incident.
5. Casey Kasem Snuggles
Sometimes the most unexpected outbursts come from the most composed individuals. This was certainly true when Casey Kasem lost his cool during an interaction with the late Snuggles.
4. Bill O’Reilly '’Do It Live’
Before becoming the host of his own show, Bill O’Reilly worked as an anchor for Inside Edition, sporting a full head of hair. His infamous behind-the-scenes meltdown has been widely shared since the early days of YouTube, earning a spot as a favorite among both liberals and conservatives.
3. Orson Welles Frozen Peas
Once hailed as Hollywood's golden boy, Orson Welles found himself later in life narrating TV commercials for frozen dinners. While his career took a dive, his pride remained intact. In this legendary clip, Welles records a voice-over to match the on-screen footage of the product.
2. Michael Richards (Kramer) Racist Rant
Speaking of Seinfeld, here’s a man who destroyed his reputation and career in just three minutes during a comedy club performance in November 2006. Unlike most moments on this list, this clip offers no humor, just shocking and uncomfortable footage.
1. Buddy Rich Bus Tapes
Buddy Rich’s fiery temper often overshadowed his accomplishments as a renowned jazz drummer, largely due to a series of tapes secretly recorded by his band members. These tapes capture Rich’s explosive rants, where he harshly insults and even threatens band members. Eventually, these recordings found their way into the hands of comedians like Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. Some of Rich’s outrageous, rage-fueled lines were so memorable that they were later used verbatim in Seinfeld's dialogue.
+ “Yes, Always”
This scene is from the Pinky & Brain segment of Animaniacs (the 7th most popular cartoon of the '90s). Since the character of Brain was partly inspired by Orson Welles, it’s fitting that the writers included a word-for-word parody of Welles’ 'Frozen Peas' recording, delivered by Brain himself.
