Gossip Girl's gag reel makes me laugh

Having just watched all of these scenes this past week (read my yammer in Jane After Dark), I found this gag reel for season two of Gossip Girl pretty hilarious. I always wonder what wacky hijinks take place behind the scenes, what the actors are like during filming, and how things can go horribly wrong with the cameras still rolling. So I love watching the outtakes on DVD sets.

My favorite here is the scene where an ultra-dandified Chuck is on the Yale campus, and the dudes grab him and stuff the sack over his head. Or rather, TRY to stuff the sack over his head. And then there's Leighton Meester, who is so indelibly "Blair Waldorf" in my head that it's weird seeing her crack up and talk in funny voices. I can't imagine trying to compose myself for a scene after cracking up take after take.

Anyway, here's the reel for your enjoyment. Check out Blake Lively cawing like a pterodactyl, Leighton Meester laughing about an erection, and the guys trying to play Kennedy football without acting like complete nerds.

Season two of Gossip Girl is on DVD now; season three premieres Sept. 14 at 9 PM on The CW.
