all falls down
Because I love you, you're my friend and because I don't feel like writing anything particularly deep or meaningful this Cinco de Mayo, I'm going to present to you a top ten, like a greatest hits compilation, let's say, of people, some you might know, falling.
Nothing like laughing at other people's misfortunes, huh? I knew you'd agree.
Anyhoo, let's begin at number 10, shall we?
10. I'm having a hard time understanding what Kelsey Grammer was doing at a Disney convention of some kind. All I know, is homeboy does not recover well. Not so much as a 'tee hee' escaped his lips. Oh well. Joke's on Kelsey, anyway.
9. I have nothing particularly witty to say about this. "I fell like a twat," seems to explain it beautifully.
8. I strangely feel some empathy for the young man kissing floor in this clip. I had an experience somewhat similar to this at my kindergarden graduation where I decided I would do a cartwheel towards my diploma and failed miserably. All in all, the event could only really be defined as tragique.
7. Listen, I don't really like to laugh at Britney. I really really don't. And if this clip was post-buzz cut Brit, I wouldn't have lost my stool watching it. Cuz come on. The cowboy hat? Classic Britney, y'all.
6. I can, in only so many words, tell you how gratifying watching this was. It's like the gift that keeps on giving.
5. I really like to watch people who are into themselves trip. I don't have to say much besides telling you that at 15 seconds in, Rich Boy has been swallowed by the earth.
4. How can one compile a list of people falling without including a model? Can't be done, I say! Jessica Stam's faceplant however, is the sweetest tumble of them all. Really. Is there a better way to regain your pride at a Chloe show by smiling and rubbing your coco (I'm sure her forehead took a good smack on the way down) while Wintour and company silently judge you? You SHAN'T care. Especially if you're making millions competing in stare contests with runways!
3. My mom loves this guy. Like a lot. So you can guess what exactly she thought of me laughing at one of her idols. But really, Juan Gabriel brought it on himself. Such dangerous rug cutting should be forbidden anyhow.
2. I would've been on something not to include this cornerstone of Beyonce's achievement. It's like the daddy of all falling clips. Well, stepdaddy of all clips, since i'm making it number two on this list. Once she hit floor, I was more worried about her weave flying out. That's speedy recovery, if I saw it. At least Bee had a good sense of humor about it. It's strangely hypnotizing if you watch it enough times, no?
1. Pleh, actors. Too many of them are "humbled" to walk away beet faced after something like this. How no one has given this trooper of a thespian an Academy Award for staying in character as Helen Keller even as she was being pulled back up is beyond me. And those two ladies playing Helen Keller's mother and Anne Sullivan should've been given MEDALS for not totally laughing.
Honorable Mention. I just. I can't. My brain just exploded.
