This is when someone says "We'll edit that part out later" but then...doesn't. Instead, the whole preceding sequence is included anyway, often for comedic effect. This can be done to make someone look silly or dumb, for irony, or just for laughs. A common variant is when a person is on camera but isn't aware that they're being filmed live, so when they mess something up they'll stop awkwardly and ask for a redo. Or they'll say "you'll cut that out, right?" (The gag can be played up by the cameraman/editor assuring them that, yes, of course it'll be cut out...). Though mostly for comedic value, in rare cases it might be used in a serious manner specifically to make someone look bad or dishonest.
When used in a fictional setting, it almost always requires an In-Universe Camera. Happens often in Mockumentaries and Show Within a Show situations, but isn't strictly limited to those. Can also be used as a gag in Real Life productions, such as plays, broadcasts, or comedy shows.
Compare Fix It in Post, which is Real Life Script Speak uttered during production of a work; you usually won't know about the sequence because it's actually been edited out.
Not to be confused with Permanent Placeholder, which is about things that are purposefully put in with the intent of replacing them later, but end up staying in anyway.
Contrast Throw It In!, when a Real Life unscripted performance is included in a production, whereas Left It In is an In-Universe example of someone requesting or mentioning that the very scene they're in should be cut (and then it's not).

In National Lampoon's European Vacation, before the family left for their trip to Europe from winning a game show, Clark videotapes Ellen while she's taking a shower, who then tells him to delete it after he's finished. When the family got their camera stolen by a thief while they were in France and they arrive in Rome, Ellen then discovers that Clark did not delete the video of her in the shower at all, when she sees a poster advertising a movie that starred her. Apparently, the thief discovered the video after he stole the camera and advertised it as a movie.

In one segment of Chappelle's Show, A reporter is investigating a Jedi abuse scandal analogous to the Catholic priest pedophilia scandals. While interviewing a "Jarth Mader", an anonymous victim who wears a helmet and has a respiration problem, Mader puts his head in his hands in tears. The reporter says "Cut" to the cameraman, but mouths the words "keep rolling" since Mader's not looking.

Hitman: Blood Money: If the player holds a crate of lobster in "Dance with the Devil" and then checks their inventory, the Flavor Text will read: "Allan please add details". The "Allan" in question is referring to former IO Interactive artist Allan Hansen, and it became memetic among fans simply because of how jarring it was to see in the game. It also became one of the longest running jokes in the Hitman community, as future games tend to include the phrase as an Easter Egg. The HD Trilogy remaster of the game, rather than properly fixing the problem, the developers replaced this placeholder with "Any details yet, Allan?".

In the original USA release of Crash Team Racing, the secret unlockable character Penta Penguin's voice lines are mostly made up of realistic penguin sounds - aside from the placeholder lines recorded by programmer Gavin James that were accidentally left in, which has the little penguin say "Penguin yay 1," "Penguin yay 2," etc. in a flat, bored sounding tone. This was thankfully fixed in the PAL and Japanese releases. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has proper voice acting for Penta, but references the original error by having one of his voice lines clearly audible as "Penguin yay 1".

Towards the later books of the Honor Harrington series, Manticore is maneuvered into conflict with the Solarian League, with the system of New Tuscany working as a cats-paw. New Tuscany is submitting staged information to the Solarian League indicating that Manticore has been harassing their shipping, and includes several scripted interviews to support their allegations. The interviews include several bits of dialogue before the official start where the interviewer "reassures" and "comforts" the subject. The propaganda spymasters in charge of it all will edit those parts out, but will "accidentally" include the raw footage to help support the claim that these were all natural and un-coereced statements.

While doing a song in the style of the Village People on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Wayne (the lead singer) misspells the name of the audience member as "H-O-R-W-A-R-D". Thrown off guard by the flub, musician Laura Hall hits the "ACC" button on her electric keyboard without knowing - which causes the tempo of the song to accelerate dramatically. Ryan signals to keep going, so Wayne attempts to keep up with the insane tempo and keeps misspelling Howard over and over again until the song collapses in on itself. After the song, with the entire cast ribbing each other about the screw-ups, Drew says, "If this makes it to air, I'll be so amazed." Not only does it make it to air - it's in the 100th episode, and is considered one of the show's iconic and most hilarious performances.

Borderlands 2 accidentally had the player character Gaige voiced by two actresses: Luci Christian and Cherami Leigh. Gearbox had initially just planned Christian to be the sole voice, but partway through the recording process, they changed their minds and instead recast the role to Leigh, who managed to have her entire script recorded. However — due to what appears to have been an honest accident — a vast majority of Gaige's dialogue in the finished game is Christian's voiceover, sans a few other random lines voiced by Leigh (primarily lines when Gaige is stacking up on Anarchy). Gearbox decided to roll with this (figuring it'd make sense to have a girl have her voice change as she gets progressively more crazy with power) and credits both actresses in the role (when Gaige was brought back for Borderlands 3, Leigh returned as the sole voice).

At one point in Shadow's story in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the voice actor for a G.U.N. official accidentally says "Head to the Wave Ocean" instead of "Head to Wave Ocean." You then hear one of the writers mumble "Head to Wave Ocean." Afterwards, the voice actor reads the entire line over again. The entire clip was left in the game unedited. It's not subtitled, and appears to be just one of the many errors that weren't fixed in the game due to it being Christmas Rushed.

BioShock Infinite has the letter Elizabeth receives from her future self, which is written in a cipher that she quickly figures out, though exactly what it says is left unclear to the audience. However, it turns out the code graph was available all the way back at Elizabeth's first appearance as a then-meaningless background element, but if one goes through the work of using it to decode the letter, they'll end up finding it reads "I AM A CODE: I SHOULD PROBABLY BE CHANGED OVER FOR SOMETHING MUCH MORE OFFICIAL IN THE FUTURE, BUT I'LL DO AS A STAND-IN FOR NOW I SUPPOSE." Whoops.

Jackie Chan Adventures: During the episode Snake Hunt, Jackie and Jade cross paths with Wesley Rank, an obnoxious pseudo-archaeologist and host of the reality show "Just the Artifacts". "Edit that out" is practically his catchphrase whenever anything gets filmed showing him as less than perfect (or anyone else getting in the scene); however, when the episode he's taping is aired later, several shots he ordered cut were included, including Jade calling him a liar and his running away screaming. It's then revealed as a case of The Dog Bites Back - Rank's behavior (including his selling the Snake Talisman to a pawn shop) led to his being fired, and his poorly-treated cameraman Dino Stefanson is the show's new host, who deliberately left the footage in to show the audience what kind of man Rank really was.

On Dirty Jobs Mike or his host will occasionally screw up on camera, then Mike will use this line.
No surprise, as it fits very much with the meta-theme of the show; oftentimes they'll include shots of the crew setting up the very shot you see next.
In several cases, a job would go bad due to a production accident or the host being difficult. Instead of cutting the whole thing they'll broadcast it anyway.

The Game Grumps often ask their editor to remove something dumb or embarrassing they just said. Instead, the editor usually accentuates the moment to make it more humiliating. In one case Danny Lampshades it, explaining that every time he asks Barry to edit out a bad joke, Arin countermands him and demands that Barry make it worse.

Often used on Have I Got News for You. Since it's reached the level of Running Gag, it's probably a pretty good way to guarantee a flub will be left in.
Double Subverted on one occasion: a panelist asked if a line that could be libellous could be edited out. When told, "No", he sincerely apologised. Paul Merton instantly said "Now that bit, we'll edit out."

A regular occurrence on Mock the Week. On one glorious occasion, a string of off-colour jokes was met with cheerful insouciance from John Oliver; "I think we all know, in our heart-of-hearts, that this is not making the edit." Naturally, it did. But for the most part, the panelists have a good idea of what won't make it into the broadcast, and the show is essentially a tug-of-war between them trying to make the worst jokes they can conceive, and the producers trying to cajole them (via Dara Ó Briain's earpiece) to do something that's actually fit for television. Since a lot of the cut material ends up in the Christmas Special, often a panelist will make an off-color joke and then lampshade it by exclaiming "Merry Christmas!"

In the Stephen Sondheim musical Merrily We Roll Along, the lead character is a songwriter. He's showing off a new song he's working on, and after the line "They're always popping their cork", he mutters, "I'll fix that line". He never gets a chance to, because they get a booking and the show with the song in it goes up too quickly.

In a review for Captain America, Todd in the Shadows is so busy talking about the director of the movie that he fails to notice Elise, Obscurus Lupa, and The Nostalgia Chick stacking several plastic skulls on his crotch. He eventually does notice, and...

Harmontown: Dan will often make empty promises to "edit all this out" if things get pretty ridiculous, and will sometimes even shout something to ensure that the section cannot be aired, like "Hitler had some good ideas!" but of course all of it ends up in the podcast.

The News Quiz:
When Andy Hamilton realised to his horror that he'd been saddled with the Princess Diana conspiracy theory question, Alan Coren cheerfully told him "I wouldn't work too hard, there's no way they'll broadcast it."
In one episode without Andy, Sandi Toksvig starts making height jokes about him. When the others start joining in, she says "If I'm in charge of the edit, that's the only bit that'll go out."
Simon Hoggart's introduction to the Hilarious Out Takes section of The Very Best of 2004:

Articles on The Agony Booth will sometimes have the writer make a rather perverted comment, followed by a note to themselves to edit it out before posting. "Don't forget now!"

Marvel's Avengers: One of The Hulk’s placeholder voice lines was apparently forgotten about on release, causing players to hear a text-to-speech voice loudly stating “AGREEABLE GRUNT�.

Dr. Strangelove: This is how Stanley Kubrick managed to convince George C. Scott to be so over-the-top in his role as General Turgidson. Scott wanted to play him as a noble yet tragic character despite the film being a comedy. So Kubrick would encourage him to do "warmup" takes in preparation for the real thing. The over-the-top takes thus were used in the actual movie, and hilarity was held by all, except Scott. Scott then swore to never work with Kubrick again, even though he admired the sneaky genius of it.

In The Comic Strip Presents: More Bad News, Vim/Alan breaks the fourth wall and threatens to sue the producers if they leave in a particularly embarrassing item about him. Unfortunately for him he later gets beaten up and left in a coma, so the item stays in.

Fletcher's "I will fuck you like a pig!" line in Whiplash was flubbed; it was supposed to be "I will gut you like a fucking pig!" J.K. Simmons asked to have it taken out, but Damien Chazelle ultimately decided to use it as it was out-of-nowhere funny.

On The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mary is interviewing a male author with the intention of cutting in a tape of Murray asking the questions later. At the end, the author asks Mary out. The final result that is broadcast shows Murray being asked out by the author.

In the Stargate Atlantis episode "Letters from Pegasus", McKay gives a videotaped message to Ford, who's editing a bunch of these messages together to send back to Earth. McKay recorded the message while severely sleep-deprived, so it's full of rambling, back-tracking, and McKay telling Ford to edit out the last thing he just said.

On Family Guy, when Brian joins The Bachelorette, he makes some potentially slanderous comments about Chevy Chase to the Confession Cam and then asks if they can cut that part out...and then goes on to say even more things about Chevy.

In-universe example: Hud from Cloverfield promises to edit out some of the party-goers' comments that they wish they hadn't said on camera. Obviously he didn't because he died, as their remarks are still present in his Found Footage Films.

Penn & Teller: Bullshit!: Done rather vindictively in at least one episode of the show in which an expert arguing against Penn and Teller's interview begins responding to a question, stumbles over his words, announces that he's going to retake his response, counts himself down, and then starts his answer over. All of this is left in to make him seem more foolish.

Well There's Your Problem: Whenever Justin says he'll take something out of the podcast, he obviously hasn't. The hosts commonly leave the show running even when one of them go to the bathroom, with the other two filling the dead air with banter, jokes, or reading (and making fun of) fan letters and comments.

Zoey in Left 4 Dead had a different voice actress before the role was given to Jen Taylor. While most of the lines for Zoey do use Taylor's voice, the original unnamed first voice actress can still be heard in a few lines where Zoey says the rescue vehicle is on the way. This was likely an error that Valve didn't bother to correct. Zoey's screams are also from the first voice actress, but unlike the other lines from her that were kept in, the screams were kept in on purpose because the developers felt they were too good to not use.

On Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “The Naked Now�, after Data becomes “drunk� and has a conversation with Captain Picard on the bridge, Brent Spiner decided to ad lib attempting to put his arm on the back of the chair Worf was sitting in and deliberately fall over, thinking it would be edited out in post production.
