That depends on the situation. If possible, you should avoid correcting the offender unless not correcting them makes the situation worse. If they must be corrected to avoid further social harm, try to take them aside and tell them privately... if at all possible.
It is also a faux pas, that shows lack of character, to correct someone's behavior in front of others. Concern for their feelings should be taken into account in making the decision and determining the best way to correct them and hopefullys save everyone's feelings and position. If you can do this, you'd be a hero! :o)

Well, there's no formula...
Some of the many variables are:
How well do you know them?
Are they in a receptive mood?
Is it life threatening, or are they in danger?
Have you seen the same thing a 1000 times from them?
Would enlightening them put you in danger?
Would telling them at the right moment perhaps improve them?
So, I would say play it by 'ear'. Every situation is different!

I can't help it, I have to say something, but mostly that is because I'd want the person to say something to me. If I was making a complete fool of myself and I was clueless, I rather have a second sting of embarrassment that have everyone pointing fingers at me behind my back. idk. What do you do?

politely tell them (to the side) so they can avoid embarrassment if possible
