Awesome Fail

File under made-for-the-internet/schadenfreude idiocy alert: this guy trying to do a slick Batman hang off of the fireplace mantel definitely looks more like a joker to us. (Thanks mrrockzstar!)

A beautiful 1957 Ferrari 250 GT is about to roll out onto the stage at the Mille Miglia North America. Too bad nobody bothered to nail down the stage floor before driving it out. Fortunately, the car is okay.

Anything that requires you to quickly dismount from your bike and then jump over a hurdle seems like an accident waiting to happen. Probably not going to be an Olympic sport anytime soon.

Five minutes of fun: Rhett and Link play a goofy game of telephone with the YouTube captioning – not once, but twice – in their latest skit. We love how the computer interprets the word Ke$ha.

After several failed attempts to pull a tablecloth out from under a stack of dishes, Michel & Sven finally get it right. Uh… for about 1/2 a second. We’ve been assured that everyone is alright. We think.

(NSFW: Language) He may have the same shield and mask as Captain America, but that’s where the similarities end for Captain Awesome, who doesn’t seem to quite understand what a shield is used for.

May this guy’s sacrifice not be in vain. Watch it repeatedly, and when you’re done laughing internalize the moral within. Let this be a lesson to every man: DO NOT TOUCH A HORSE’S JUNK.

Fox 5 was covering the San Diego boat show and came upon a man strapped to a water-based jetpack, who accidentally turns it off on camera. The lesson? If he can pilot a jetpack, so can we.

A couple of guys decide to go a little wild spinning in one of those amusement park tea cup rides, except this “tea cup” is a big yellow duck, and it wants to fly South for the summer.

When you’re racing a funny car down the drag strip, the steering wheel is one part of the car that’s not supposed to deploy. Maybe it got confused and thought it was the parachute?

(NSFW: Language) A crane operator delivers a pool and hot tub to a house when the unthinkable happens. Guess a new garage will have to take priority over swimming for now. Aftermath here.

(NSFW: Language) Ouch is an understatement here as we see Terrell Middlebrooks remain amazingly calm after breaking his leg while filming for the Gypsy Caravan 2our BMX. (Thanks Grant!)

Australian gymnast Joel Pocklington never travels without his video camera; to our horror and delight he’s crafted a madcap compilation of face plants, belly flops and runaway stunts. (Thanks Stephen!)

Um, guys, before you put that boat in the water, you just might want to make sure it doesn’t weigh more than the crane you’re using to lower it into the drink. Or not.

Some BMX riders have mad skills. Unfortunately, these guys can’t even get out of the starting gate – literally. Ok, I guess we should really blame the guy who lets the gate down too early.

Oh, the perils of being first. Natsuki Terada – the man in red on the right – was leading the race up until 200 meters before the finish line, when he followed the race truck in front of him.

A local news channel is shooting live right where you’re about to pass. Will you change routes or go the same path? If you pick the latter, make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself.

What’s wrong with this picture? If you guessed that the driver was heading down the wrong side of the highway, you’d be correct. If you ever happen to visit Tianjin, China, you’ll want to avoid this cab.

Expanding foam is made by mixing 2 compounds. It is important that they’re stored separately, as mixing even a tiny bit of one with the other will give you the right result at the wrong time.

Jesus take the Wii, take it from a hen are just a few of the many brilliant lines that can be heard in this simultaneously hilarious and horrifying rendition of the ubiquitous Carrie Underwood tune.

Somehow, it’s a relief and a comfort to know that on the other side of the world in Shanghai there are feisty and annoyed lady drivers saying no (and perhaps worse) to authority. Hilarity ensues at :26.

The former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant’s 275′ tower came down, but the blast knocked it the wrong direction, snapping nearby power lines and eliciting screams; no injuries incurred, though.

A contestant blurts out an answer that literally brought host Steve Harvey to his knees. It’s easy to spoil the punchline, so let’s just say her answer takes the ‘family’ out of Family Feud.
