My 10 Favorite Faceplants
I’m a big fan of people hurting themselves. Especially stupid people. And the best way for a stupid person to hurt themselves is to faceplant. It’s almost like proof of Darwinian evolution. Dumbasses simply hurt (and kill) themselves more often than smart people.
I’ve compiled a collection of videos that should bring a smile to the lips of anyone in favor of thinning the herd.
Enjoy.
10. The Stunt Faceplant
Excluding skateboards, this faceplant counts whenever anyone is on bicycles, skis, snowboards, rollerblades–anything man wasn’t meant to call a ‘vehicle.’ (Skateboards are different.) AND, building your own ramp out of mud isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but maybe build it closer to the lake.
9. The Martial Arts Expert Faceplant
Almost like the weightlifting faceplant, the martial arts faceplant always makes one wonder, “why were you filming yourself?”
8. The Drunken Faceplant
Look out for the dog!…Look out for the Coronado Stone!…Look out for the disk golf net!…Oh, and if you’re gonna drink, maybe don’t ride your bike.
7. The Party Trickster Faceplant
This actually combines two of my favorite faceplant genres: trampolines and the party trickster. Ever been at a party and had someone call for quiet while they performed a trick that turned into an injury (or at the very least turned out to not be as cool as all the hype suggested)? I have. But it’s never turned into a faceplant. That usually happens on the trampoline all by itself.
6. The Trampoline Faceplant
Not exactly a faceplant, but just close enough. Some people only have the discipline to practice things that will never get them anywhere in real life.
5. The Pool Faceplant
If only there were more drowning deaths from faceplants…caught on film. (He actually didn’t die, but keep giving your teens camcorders.)
4. The Fat-plant
Like the little Asian man in “The Hangover” says, some things are just funnier when people are fat.
3. The Baby Faceplant
Nothing’s cuter than underdeveloped motor skills. Until somebody faceplants.
2. The Skateboard Faceplant
Whenever I see kids skateboarding, I try to see if they’re filming themselves. Because if they are, someone is definitely going to faceplant. What did this kid think was supposed to happen? And does he have a rubber spine?
1. The Karmic Faceplant
Although rarely seen in the wild, this beautiful creature will sometimes appear when one least expects it, but at exactly the right time.

Did all of these people survive? In some of them, it seems unclear and I am not comfortable watching snuff films.
