Attention British Royal Air Force, we got a badass over here. Watch as this brave Englishman willingly subjects himself to multiple g-force levels as the air is filled with his friends’ raucous laughter. Stabilized version here.

(NSFW: Language) A variety of “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” moments from people who pushed the limits of physical objects. While the destruction is occasionally due to poor build quality, mostly it’s the result of stupidity.

That’s not an air compressor. THIS is an air compressor. An Aussie with time on his hands shows what happens when you attempt to smoke a cigarette and drink a beer while getting smacked in the face by a powerful blast of air.

(NSFW: Language) “I think he’s gonna make it – oh he didn’t oh oh oh” That sums up FailArmy’s compilation of this year’s mishaps. There are both lame and extreme entries here, but the kid on the Slingshot at 15:38 made it worth it for us.

(NSFW: Language) NewsBeFunny presents the best of the worst that news networks had to offer this year. There’s a ton of cringe-inducing stuff in here: slips of the tongue, slips on the ice, stupid news and stupid anchors.

During the recent World Bowling Championships in Dubai, Team USA bowler Bill O’Neill rolled what sure looked like a strike to us. But the damned laws of physics got in his way and his sure thing was turned into a spare.

(NSFW: Language) YouTuber World Trailer shares this video of a bro who was so drunk he couldn’t figure out how to unlock the bathroom stall that he was in. Don’t worry, he got out. Skip to 0:30.

A worker makes the one mistake you never want to make – as he takes a loaded pallet lift off the edge of a truck’s four foot lift gate – before it’s been lowered to the ground. We give his jump a 9.6… and his landing a 1.2.

(NSFW: Language) For all of the time and money poured into today’s video games, you’d think the physics models would be damn-near perfect, but this compilation demonstrates just how much wonky stuff still slips past development teams.

(NSFW: Language) Pastek is back with another collection of fail videos made funnier by turning everyone’s favorite video game plumber into the villain. His brother Luigi is just as much of an instigator this time.

Back in 2002, a Swedish newscast was interviewing an emergency response worker about a dangerous curve in a road, when a car proves their point on live TV. At least they were there to help out the instant it happened.

The Sodastream is a device that’s supposed to save money by letting you make your own soft drinks. But after watching the consequences of putting CO2 in the hands of the people, we’re just gonna say no. Also, what’s with that first lady?

A petty thief came aboard a bus intent on stealing a lady’s bag. But this guy got on the wrong bus, and messed with the wrong bus driver today. He should just be happy that the door didn’t have the razor edge the driver wanted installed.

A man forces his way through a parking garage gate, then decides to reverse back in, eventually causing over $40,000 in damages. We choose to believe that alcohol or anger was involved. No sane man would do this. We hope.
