Funniest Spelling Bee Videos

How cute is this kid, being asked to spell a ridiculous word?

Spelling Bee - These bloopers are hilarious

More of the same here, including the very uncomfortable white kid asked to spell "negus":



Come on out to the next Williamsburg Spelling Bee on Monday, February 6th. Winner gets a gift certificate to Vine Wine, which we are certain will improve your spelling.

Thanks to Vine Wine

Ever walk by this on your way to the bee?

Looks familiar, right? This is our new friend Vine Wine at 616 Lorimer St.

Talitha from Vine is standing up for spelling by providing gift certificates to the first place winners for the next three bees! So come on out to the next bee!

Spread the Word: We always need prize sponsors. Stand up for spelling!

Sincerely,

p.s. As befits a Williamsburg wine store, Vine is open until 10pm, so you actually could even stop in after the bee.

Technology is crazy. When the Williamsburg Spelling Bee began in 2004, there was Friendster! Friendster, mind you! And no one was sitting in the audience looking up words on their phones. Oh, how times have changed.
