most outrageous, outlandish and out-of-this-world fun facts!
We dare you to stay tuned for our number 1 pick and try not to laugh your pants off!
Let’s get ready to rumble!
#25: 4D Football
Professional soccer is such a high-adrenaline, action-packed, fast-paced sport!
So… what’s up with these guys?
These Norwegian footballers decided to add a little bit
of modern technology into their training by wearing VR headsets,
where they see a bird’s eye view of the field! And the results were pretty mixed to say the least.
It might not be too obvious in this clip, but the players are dead serious to score a goal.
That is, if they could get past this mummified goalkeeper!
Keeping watching until number one because it’s the most epic ping pong rally ever!
#24: Hardcourt Shimmy
The Hornets had taken the lead against the Heat but Kemba Walker
wanted to widen the gap some more.
I guess it was too early to celebrate.
Kemba might have missed that shot, but he sure didn’t miss a beat!
#23: Almost Touchdown
In this video that’s equal parts annoying and frustrating to watch…
Utah wide receiver Kaelin Clay was set to do a 78-yard touchdown against Oregon but
just inches before he could cross the goal line, he dropped the ball a second too early!
Clay, along with his team, was too busy celebrating as the eagle-eyed
Oregon players who saw the drop immediately seized
the opportunity to convert it into a 100-yard touchdown for their own team!
#22: Photo Finish
Oregon’s Tanguy Pepiot thought he already had the race in the bag even
before crossing the finish line. He even pumped up the crowd to celebrate! But his
opponent Washington’s Meron Simon was having none of it.
Since then, Pepiot’s loss has become a cautionary tale for athletes not to celebrate too early.
#21: The Show-off
Joe Harding got a little too cocky during his amateur title fight against Johan Segas.
Granted, Harding was the more seasoned fighter of the two, but karma is a bigger jerk.
Oof, that kick sure beat the living daylights out of Harding.
It’s literally straight out of an energy drink commercial!
#20: Last Hurdle
In a hurdle event, a runner must run over the hurdles. But this Chinese athlete decided,
“To hell with the rules. I’m running through them!”
In a bid to become the world’s worst runner, he even knocked over his opponent’s hurdles!
Not cool, man.
#19: interview Crashers This player from the Texas A&M
baseball team was being interview after the team’s win. But his teammates wanted
a piece of the on-cam experience too! And they made it known in a not-so-subtle way.
Here’s to hoping they win more games so they can bless the internet with more goofy interviews.
#18: Human Dartboard
This infielder from Spokane Falls Community College lost a bet with a
teammate so he shaved the middle of his head. The game was delayed because the
rain so he and his teammates decided to have a little fun, which involved darts.
The target? Well, your guess is as good as mine!
#17: Broom-bastic!
Canadian skeleton racer Jane Channell hit an unexpected roadblock when she
suddenly hit a broom while running down the track! Apparently,
a race official mistakenly left the broom after sweeping the snow off the track.
Channell was allowed a second attempt after the mishap but ultimately failed to sweep to victory.
#16: Stick-y Situation
And in today’s episode of “Don’t Blink or You’ll Miss It.”
I told you not to blink. Let’s play that again.
After Noel Acciari of the Boston Bruins nearly collided with one of his opponents,
he grabbed his rival’s hockey stick in one smooth motion!
#15: On-air Flirting
This guy named Greg failed to shoot the puck during an intermission contest in a hockey game.
So, when he was interviewed by CSN sideline reporter, Sarah Kustok,
Greg decide to take his shot at winning her heart instead.
What appeared to be a fairly innocent interview
quickly turned awkward for the reporter towards the end.
I don’t know about putting your arms around a woman without her consent,
but the guy has guts, I’ll give him that.
#14: John Cena’s shirt
As per usual, moments before he faced off with CM Punk, John Cena took off his shirt and threw
it at his adoring fans. Except this time, the fans weren’t too keen on keeping his shirt.
Okay, maybe his fans were on the other side.
Looks like the WWE Superstar is on the wrong side of the ring.
#13: Dancing in the Sidelines
LA Rams head coach Sean McVay will do anything to avoid the risk of causing a penalty for
his team, like getting in the way of game officials. So, he got this guy to help him!
Ted Rath plays a major role as assistant coach to McVay during a game;
keeping the head coach out of the official’s path! And as Rath himself describes the job…
#12: Misspelled
During a football match between USC and Fresno,
these USC fans became the center of attention for all the wrong reasons.
Here’s to hoping the “G” just went for a quick bladder break,
or else these guys might not be getting any diplomas soon.
#11: The Worst Color
There’s a reason why sports teams don’t use a flesh tone for their uniforms,
especially in in the crotch area.
But this Columbian women’s cycling team still went ahead with the unflattering color despite
the criticisms surrounding their odd choice, which quite frankly don’t do these women any favors.
#10: Dunk Fail
WNBA star Brittney Griner clearly wasn’t having a good day when they filmed this
promo spot for an upcoming all-star game. The 3-time WNBA all-star was invited to
show the audience her dunking skills. But things didn’t go exactly as planned.
Okay, the first attempt wasn’t so bad. Maybe it was the shoes?
Oops, close enough. Maybe third time’s the charm?
Nailed it!
#9: Spying on the Enemy
In a college basketball game between Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers,
the Bulldog’s went in on a huddle with an unexpected guest.
The Tiger was able to sneak his way
into the circle and even got a warm welcome from his opponents!
Too bad he was eventually caught by the Bulldog’s assistant after he sniffed something fishy.
#8: James Harden loses his cool
In a game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets superstar James Harden lost
his chance to break the tie on the first half and kind of made a fool out of himself after.
Harden let his anger out on the ball, only for it to backfire.
I think it’s a good idea to be out of his way for now.
#7: Steph Curry slips
During the heated match between the Lakers and the Warriors, the Warriors were up by
36 points with just a few minutes left in the 3rd quarter. So basically, the stage was set
for one of Steph Curry’s epic slam dunks. Everyone was bracing for impact, until…
Where are the court moppers when you need them the most?
To add insult to injury, he air-balled his 3-point attempt.
Oh well, happens to the best of us.
#6: Nosedive
Although they didn’t exactly make a splash at the 2015 SEA Games,
these Filipino divers still broke the internet with their less than stunning performance.
Okay, that’s rather putting it mildly,
because their dives were epic flops. You have to see them for yourselves.
To be fair, it was both their first time competing internationally,
so the nerves got the better of them. There’s always a next time, boys!
#5: The Lineup
Unlike the other entries on this list,
this next video was made to go viral. And it sure did what it was set out to do!
In the video line-up sheet for the US Men’s National Soccer Team,
a mid-shot of each player was being shown. Pretty standard fare, until it was Jermaine Jones’ turn.
They do look like they got great chemistry!
#4: Bird Dropping
Manchester United player Ashley Young was giving instructions to his teammates when
all of a sudden, something from the air shot straight into his piehole!
After the incident, Young was quick to deny that it was actually bird poop. But what else could
it be then? A really big drop of rain? Spit from another player? I don’t know, I give up.
At least in the next clip, it’s clearer what went inside the player’s mouth.
#3: Dragonfly
Oops, spoiler alert! This time, we’re sure it was a dragonfly
that tried to enter the trap of French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Look closely!
And good thing he managed to spit it out too!
#2: Messi’s son
Soccer stars Leo Messi and Luis Suarez were injured from their previous match,
so they decided to bring their sons to their team’s game.
But Messi’s son Mateo wasn’t sure who to root for. So,
when Real Betis scored a goal against FC Barcelona, he clearly got stoked!
Bad boy, Mateo. But who can resist his charm? Go ahead and cheer on whoever you want, kiddo!
#1: Epic Ping Pong
This will go down in history as the most outrageous table tennis match ever!
The exhibition match between German player Timo Boll and Swedish legend Jorgen Persson
turned into a comedy duo act as the ping pong superstars did everything to keep the rally going!
Who knew table tennis could be this hilarious! Only legends can pull that off.
