It does eliminate the "bonehead" aspect of the blooper, though, and changes it to a mere slip of the tongue.

I agree this is probably the case, though I have been known to throw a name or phrase out to a large group that is actually a private joke that one or two people might get. It can be fun to get a room full of blank stares!
I was considering replacing it with this gem....
After hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins say: "I'd run over my own
mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To
win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."
I guess they both hit Joe's Mom in '91!
