The 10 Best Celebrity Pratfalls

Posted Sep 17 via Best Week Ever 2008-09-17 13:46:05


10. Geraldo Rivera Eats Hurricane Ike Water. The highest on the list as it is the most recent. One would assume that Geraldo's raven-haired moustache would catch the gale force winds like so many ticklish angel wings… when, in fact, the wind bitch-slapped him right in his ever so smug face, sending him straight to the ground. It's the clip you've always wanted to see.



9. The Destiny's Child Trilogy. This is like the Lord of the Rings of people trying to look sexy looking like a**holes. Watch as each member of Destiny's Child – including our favorite, Beyonce — takes a spectacular fall in each of their own beautiful, individual ways.




More ahead.

8. Jim Belushi Grinds His Way Into The Dancefloor. Behold: The Chubby Celebrity Pratfall. Nothing really beats it, comedically speaking. And in the case of Jim Belushi landing on his ABC Primetime padded ass, nothing is more satisfying. According to Jim, older guys look 'totally rad' pointing their fingers in the air while crotch-grinding some poor young lady. And according to the miniature stage he's standing on, Jim is going to end up in a shame pile on the floor.

7. Constantine Maroulis Makes Ass Out of Self for 3.5 x1014 Time. Oh American Idol's Constantine. Don't you realize that high-kicking while wearing leather pants on national television is what we like to call 'A recipe for hilariousaster'? Case in point: The following clip.



It's the anchors scream that really gets the ROFLcopter fired up. She's so afraid.

6. The Carmen Electra One-Two Punch. Credit where it is due: When Carmen Electra takes a nasty fall to the ground, she does it with elegance and grace. But what really makes this clip Top 10 worthy is when soap opera star Alison Sweeney comes rushing out from backstage to rescue poor Carmen… and then reenacts her favorite scene from both Home Alone 1 and 2.



5. Stevie Wonder Takes a Long Walk Off a Short Stage. We are so, so sorry.

4. Old Man on Big Brother 10 Probably Also Wins $10,000 On America's Funniest Home Videos. The title says it all. Watch as Jerry from Big Brother 10 takes one too many blind steps backwards… with hilarious, old-people-hurting-themselves results!!




3. Foreign Man Smiles, Waves, Breaks Neck. Sure, the following gentleman doesn't so much qualify as a celebrity… in America. But we're sure in his home country of Latvia… or Moldova… or Belarus… well, we're sure that wherever he is from, he is a huge star. At least, after this video aired. Assuming he is still alive. We'll just stop talking now.

2. Jodie Foster as Helen Keller Is All Too Real. Admittedly, it's nearly impossible to see that this is actually Jodie Foster. But given that the actress playing Helen Keller took the role so far as to fall off the stage, it most definitely IS Jodie Foster. Who else has that kind of dedication to the craft?


Kudos to the audience for having the common decency not to collapse into a laugh nap.

1. The Ultimate Celebrity Fall: Kelsey Grammar. The video that started the trend. 'Oh good lord! (wheeze)(breathe) I– I think I'm. (breathe) Wow. (Wheeze) That was really. Really bad.' The man is a genius.

BONUS: OK, this doesn't qualify as a fall OR a celebrity, but this video of a woman being attacked by her own talk show set has pretty much set our week up to be fantastic.
