The X-Files Bloopers were a series of at least three tapes that contain humorous outtakes from the filming of the series that were spliced by the production crew after each season.

See Blooper Reel.

The original fandom bloopers such as Star Trek Blooper Reels were originally compiled only for the amusement of the show’s stars and creators (and later used for promotion and entertainment at conventions). The bloopers for X-Files came from a different era, and very likely were a product of the "observer effect." This meant that the creators of these bloopers were aware that they were interacting with the system and the content was included or altered because of it.

Have you seen the XF 3rd Season Gag Reel ? It's extremely slashy. There's one scene with Mulder and Skinner simulating intercourse, and another where Duchovny is supposed to tell Mitch, "I was too busy getting my ass kicked" and accidentally says, "I was too busy getting my ass licked." But my favorite is an outtake from the car scene in "Apocrypha." Mulder gets into the car, turns to Krycek, and says, "You're a really good-looking kid, you know that?" Then he smiles, grabs Krycek by the back of the neck as if he's going to kiss him — and shoves his head down in his lap. Nick is laughing and squealing, "Hey! He's pushing my head down!" [1]

Oh, yes. Saw the XFiles blooper tapes! (All three.) Somebody [in this APA] was talking about giving Scully an honorary penis for slash purposes. To that subject there were two points of interest. Like all blooper tapes there are many instances of actors screwing up lines and emitting profane and/or obscene comments on the situation. Gillian is usually found saying 'fuck' or 'fucking' when this happens to her. In one memorable scene she said "suck my dick." I move that we decide she has already received her honorary slash penis. The other memorable scene was from "Humbug" where GA ate the cricket. It was awe-inspiring watching her simultaneously gross out and win the admiration of a vast filming crew of almost all men with this little scene....[2]
