Who doesn’t love a good laugh? As we wrap up another year, it’s time to relive some of the most hilarious, epic fails that the internet blessed us with. From clumsy pets to humans attempting stunts way out of their league, here are the best fails of the year that’ll have you rolling on the floor.
1. Slippery Slides and Summer Tides
One of the year’s top viral clips featured a daring dad attempting a “majestic” backflip into a pool. Spoiler alert: he landed on the pool’s edge with a belly flop that echoed around the neighborhood. Don’t worry, he’s okay—but his pride? Not so much.
2. When Pets Take Over
Animals always win the internet, and this year was no different. From a cat’s failed leap onto a kitchen counter (cue the slow-motion fall) to a golden retriever’s encounter with a stubborn sprinkler, our furry friends provided some of the most heartwarming and gut-busting moments.
3. Technology Gone Wrong
Zoom calls have become a staple of modern life, but that doesn’t mean we’re pros at it. This year’s funniest tech fail involved a boss accidentally turning himself into a potato filter during an important meeting. Try keeping a straight face when your manager says, “Let’s circle back” while looking like a root vegetable.
4. Sports Mishaps
Athletes aren’t immune to epic fails. A cricket player’s attempt at a stunning catch ended with him tripping over his own feet, sending the ball and himself straight into the stands. Meanwhile, a yoga enthusiast’s attempt at a headstand turned into a domino effect of falling yoga mats and startled classmates.
5. DIY Disasters
This year’s DIY craze had some… interesting results. One standout moment? A woman’s attempt to recreate a viral cake design—only for her masterpiece to collapse into a sugary mess moments before the party. Lesson learned: not everything needs to be Pinterest-perfect.
6. Wedding Woes
Weddings are a goldmine for fails, and 2024 gave us gems like a groom forgetting his vows mid-ceremony and a bridesmaid’s grand entrance—which ended with her tripping over her dress and taking out a row of chairs.
7. Extreme Weather Adventures
Mother Nature loves a good prank. This year, a reporter’s live broadcast during a windy storm turned comical when his umbrella had other plans, flipping inside out and taking flight. Cue the laughter from everyone back at the studio.
