They say that “drunk words are sober thoughts,” but apparently they forgot to say that “post-surgery
words are sober thoughts found in the deepest trenches of our minds.”
We here at Clevver would never condone laughing at someone who just underwent a minor surgery,
like wisdom teeth removal, but we CAN make one exception to the rule when the anesthesia
lingers and the truth bombs come flooding out.
So join us as we relive the most hilarious celeb moments post-surgery that have been
documented and shared for the entire world to enjoy.
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. and if a friend or family member has never recorded
you after having surgery, consider yourself #blessed.
On the other hand, the anesthesia that hasn’t quite made it out of your system after waking
up, makes for some seriously hilarious content.
Unfortunately, when you’re a celeb, that content is shared for millions to see.
Take it from one of the most followed celebrities on Instagram, Kylie Jenner, who underwent
LASIK surgery only to have her entire recovery documented by Keeping Up With The Kardashian
producers.
Kris Jenner wanted to make sure Ky was taken care of while on bed rest, so she gave her
a little bell to ring if she needed anything… yeah, mistake number one.
Anyone else starting to hear a little ringing in their ears after watching even just 10
seconds of that?
YEAH, SAME!
Anyway, in case you were wondering, Kylie can now see clearly, and to commemorate not
having to wear glasses anymore, she and her best friend Stassie threw an eyeball party
for no other reason than because… they could.
Meghan Trainor was all up in her feels post-wisdom teeth removal surgery, as she couldn’t help
but feel some type of way about her manager, Tommy Bruce.
In her caption, she wrote, “I was initially going to just take one wisdom tooth out.
The dentist said they all had to go.
Wasn’t emotionally or mentally prepared but sure got some great content.
the second vid is me talking to my amazing manager @tommymbruce who literally has my
whole heart haha thank u to the amazing dentist and my family for taking such good care of
me.”
Oh, and Meghan also managed to serenade her fans while being driven home by her husband
Daryl Sabara, attempting to sing along to her song “Working On It.”
Maybe leave the serenading for another time…
Tom Holland, on the other hand, was at a loss for words following his wisdom tooth surgery,
and I think it’s safe to say that his ‘spidey senses’ weren’t quite in tune with the
current sitch.
Back in 2017, he shared a video to Instagram post-surgery struggling to even sit upright
in bed, to which he finally got some help from a friend.
Between Tom’s confused facial expressions and the use of his ice pack as a cell phone,
we’re hoping he went straight home to bed for the rest of the night…
A year later, Tom went back in to get the remaining three wisdom teeth removed, when
fans were desperately hoping maybe the anesthesia would cause him to spoil the ending of End
Game.
One user wrote, “Tom Holland got his wisdom teeth removed.
let’s all tweet for him to release secrets abt End Game.”
Another fan tweeted that it’s the lucky dentist who DEFINITELY knows the plot to End
Game.
Tom’s Spiderman co-star Zendaya was really feeling herself after she had her wisdom teeth
removed.
After much debate on whether she should share her video or not, Zendaya finally did, and
we couldn’t be more thrilled that she did.
Before taking to her Instagram stories, Zendaya shared a selfie with her ice packs wrapped
around her head, revealing at the beginning of the video QUOTE, “I got my mom with me
all because I’m a little baby and need my mom to take care of me.”
I mean…
SAME.
But the silver lining in Zendaya’s surgical experience is that she was finally able to
experience the magic moisturizer that is lip balm.
“Well my lips are hella soft, so… shout out to moisturization.”
Actress Jennifer Garner, also seemed to experience true musical magic, when she was recorded
post-dental work, telling someone about the musical Hamilton, and the time she couldn’t
stop crying at the “sad part” while she was getting surgery.
“They did the sad part of Hamilton, and I started crying -- I couldn’t stop!
They said, ‘Are you ok?’ and I said, ‘It’s so beautiful!
Cries, it’s so beautiful, cries”
Jen apparently had to tell everyone in the dental office about the musical, because it
was…
“just so beautiful!”
Dancing With the Stars alumn Julianne Hough let her wild imagination run free following
her wisdom teeth surgery back in 2016, when she debuted her brand new look for the upcoming
MET Gala.
“Hello, my beautiful people!
I just wanted to inform an exclusive of my Met Ball fashion look.”
She shared the throwback video to Instagram later in 2017, but the MET Gala wasn’t the
only topic of discussion.
Julianne also impressively sang a verse of “O Holy Night” with her mouth full of
gauze, and it seems even SHE was proud of herself for knowing all the words.
“I actually know the words!”
Singing with a mouth full of gauze while still under slight anesthesia is a sheer talent
in and of itself, and don’t @ me.
Another act of pure talent happened when Jessica Simpson walked into a Red Robin and ate a
full-on meal with her friend right after eye surgery.
Don’t worry Jess, you’re doing great, Sweetie!
Mind you, her friend also had eye surgery, so the fact that they were both able to make
their way into a restaurant and even have the energy to actually sit down and enjoy
a meal, is, again, TALENT.
Amy Schumer’s post-surgery experience was a little different than Jessica’s, but equally
as comical.
Back in January, Amy shared a photo while in the hospital after she and her husband
Chris Fischer decided to go through with freezing her eggs in order to conceive a second child
via IVF following a difficult first surgery.
After the egg retrieval procedure was finished, Amy shared two videos to social media that
might as well be a part of her newest comedy sketch.
In the first video, Amy proves she is still sharp as a tack, as she persistently asks
her husband if she’s still wearing her hat.
“I don’t think you need to wear it anymore.
Do you want to put it back on?”
“Yes.
I want my hat back on.”
In another video Amy captioned, “Let me be your life coach,” she details the exciting
plans she has for her and Chris later on in the day… mind you, the SAME day as all of
this is going down.
“We’ll go to a bar.
We sit at the bar, we get a couple drinks, we’ll just have a blast today.”
Mad props for Amy’s optimism after being put under for surgery that same day, but I’d
be willing to bet none of that actually happened.
And our number 1, most incredible post-op anesethesia celebrity goes to….
TAYLOR SWIFT!
We cannot forget about the GEM of a video that is #BananaGate after her mother Andrea
Swift savagely leaked the entire video of Taylor following her LASIK surgery to Jimmy
Fallon.
While chatting about her new album Lover, last October, Jimmy began to ask Taylor if
he could see her clearly, and if she recently had a new surgery…
“Do you take painkillers or anything when you do that stuff?”
Clearly you can see where the confusion stemmed from because Taylor had NO idea that her mom
recorded her and sent the footage into Jimmy Fallon.
To her surprise, BananaGate was born, and this video will go down as one of the best
Taylor Swift videos of all time.
“That wasn’t the one I wanted.”
“Stop, you can’t cry.”
“Don’t fall asleep eating a banana, ok?”
“I’m not asleep, my mind is alive.”
Naturally, fans began reacting to the video, commenting on how relatable Taylor’s comments
were.
One user wrote, “‘I’m not asleep, my mind is alive.’
Literally me, whenever teachers caught me sleeping in class.”
Another fan shared a brilliant suggestion that the “I’m not asleep, my mind is alive”
comment could actually be some pretty good song lyrics.
Not gonna lie, this is a song I could definitely get behind, because #RELATABLE.
But there’s more laughs where that came from -- for more celebrity roundups, click
