* In baseball, any time a ball bounces off a player's head and goes over the fence for a home run, most famously happening to Jose Canseco.
* Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson gets a disproportionate number of these. To wit:
** The infamous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bird_Beanball.png "Bird Beanball incident"]] (not because a bird died, but because it chose the absolute worst time to fly into the field, resulting in a one-in-a-''billion'' moment).
** The 1994 MLB All-Star Game. Johnson nearly decapitates John Kruk with a pitch that's ''way'' inside, ''way'' high and ''way'' over Kruk's head. Kruk acts like he's about to have a massive heart attack, and spends the rest of his at-bat feigning absolute terror and is "almost at the on-deck circle" he's so far back in the batter's box.
** In the All-Star Game in 1998, Larry Walker had to face Randy Johnson again after he had done so once in interleague play, where Johnson famously threw wildly out of the strike zone and Walker fanned himself afterward. When they both face each other, ''it happens again.'' Walker then turns around his batting helmet, grabs the other end of the bat, and switches hands. He eventually walked, at which point even the announcers were cracking up.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PRZ4wrqAhk "Look at all the fine money to be collected by the Rangers..."]]
* Colts vs. Texans, 2008 Texans home opener. Texans are beasting, up 27-10 with less than five minutes to go. Colts score a touchdown to make it 27-17, but the Texans recover the onside kick and need just one first down to ice it. Texans back-up quarterback Sage Rosenfels, starting in place of Matt Schaub (who was suffering from some kind of illness) attempts to get this first down by vaulting himself into the air, getting himself knocked silly and flipped 360 degrees in the air, fumbling the ball to Colts defender Gary Brackett, who takes the ball back for a touchdown, making it 27-24. On the next Texans drive, Rosenfels fumbles, and the Colts are able to score another touchdown, making it 31-27. Rosenfels then throws an interception to seal the game for the Colts. After spending 55 minutes creating a quarterback controversy in Houston, it only took Sage Rosenfels five minutes to perhaps jeopardize his career.
* Any time in soccer that the ball goes through the goalkeeper's legs.
* Anything pertaining to Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez. A personal favorite moment is the time that Manny acted as the cutoff man for a throw from centerfielder Johnny Damon in 2004. There was also the time he was in the dugout randomly petting teammate Julian Tavarez in 2007. But there's too many to list here about Manny.
* Somewhat related to Manny Ramirez but not quite. In 2004 or so, Manny had robbed New York Yankees utility infielder Miguel Cairo of a homerun. Cairo had already circled the bases and was in the dugout and had no idea that he was out until someone in the dugout pointed it out to him. The look on Cairo's face as he realized he was out was priceless
* Jonathan Papelbon's Irish Jig after the Red Sox clinched the AL East...actually that whole celebration is made of hilarity. That was just the crowning moment.
%%* The time a car tire was THIS close to win a race.
* A football player trips over his own feet and bites the dust. Without missing a beat the announcer says "Claude Raines on tackle."
* Chess example: At the closing dinner after the 1960 Chess Olympics in Leipzig (East Germany), 17-year-old Bobby Fischer, already considered the West's best hope for a non-Soviet World Champion, told then World Champion, Mikhail Tal, that he could read palms. Tal offered him his hand, Fischer examined it and said solemnly: "I see that in the near future you will lose the title of world champion to a young American grandmaster!" Tal promptly turned to American Grandmaster William Lombardy and, shaking his hand, said, "Bravo, Billy! So it's you who are destined to succeed me!"
* In NASCAR, you can typically rely on Kenny Schrader to have a good sense of humor. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdcXXmyqewU Here's how he attributed a 4th place run in the 1998 Daytona 500 despite a broken sternum.]]

* Chris Kamara of ''Series/SoccerSaturday'', when he doesn't notice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ow2-dSkY1k a player getting a red card]].
* UsefulNotes/FormulaOne driver Kimi Räikkönen has spawned quite a few:
** When asked if he'd attended a presentation prior to the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix[[note]]Michael Schumacher was retiring and had received a special award from Pelé[[/note]], Kimi responded - on live TV - "No, I was having a shit". Equally funny is Martin Brundle, without missing a beat, replying, "Well, obviously you'll have a nice light car on the grid, then".
** Kimi's increasingly irate responses to his team's radio messages during the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, culminating in, "[[UnwantedAssistance Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!]]". Got even funnier when, two races later at the Brazilian Grand Prix, he span off the track and then ''got lost'' while trying to return to it.

* After the Euro 2004 final, German captain Bastian Schweinsteiger received a literal HumiliationConga!
* A Liverpool fan threw a beach ball onto the pitch during his team's match vs Sunderland. Seconds later, the beach ball scored the only goal of the game -- [[NiceJobBreakingItHero for Sunderland!]]
* What happens when you get a brilliant pairing of thoroughbred names racing down to the wire? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpSmprqptSk "Mywifeknowseverything! Thewifedoesntknow!"]]
** However, nothing compares to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqj2hkbDnyM "Hoof Hearted!"]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPvMOVFshyI This interview by Dustin Pedroia.]] Not only was it funny, but quite prophetic.

* July 21, 2010: Tim Lincecum [[http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/504240/lincecumpitch2.gif does this]].
* The Buttfumble by Mark Sanchez. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* At the 1975 Artistic Gymnastics World Cup at Wembley, Soviet gymnastics queen Ludmilla Tourischeva dismounted the uneven bars -- and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9gBk0P9yEc the entire apparatus collapsed behind her as she saluted]]. But the truly funny bit was that Tourischeva ''didn't even blink''. She [[UnflinchingWalk simply walked away as though nothing had happened]], in a moment that can only be accurately summarised with, "And not a single fuck was given that day, or ever again." Incidentally, she also swept the all-around ''and'' all four event finals.
* Billy Sianis' curse on the Chicago Cubs is kind of funny if you aren't a fan. In his own words to the team owner:
-->You are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because [[DisproportionateRetribution you insulted my goat]].
** The Cubs finally won the World Series in 2016, which probably takes most of the sting out of it for even the Cubs fanbase.
* Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAv5R3SOQUw nonverbal reaction]] to being thrown a 57-mph [[InherentlyFunnyWords Eephus pitch]]. [[note]]On average, pitches in MLB range from about 80-95 mph. The eephus pitch capitalizes on this by being so slow by comparison--and with an unusually high trajectory--that it's basically a MindScrew.[[/note]]
* The entire Monday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers from 2007. There was a problem with the sod and heavy rain, leading to a huge, muddy mess that the players could barely perform on. Most notably, one punt ended up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7DTNEa2E7w lodging itself in the ground]] like a cannonball. The Steelers won 3-0 and it was both the lowest-scoring Monday Night Football game ever played and tied for the lowest scoring NFL game ever.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dwCFWI03p4 The Monday Night Football intro for the 2015-2016 season]] highlights many famous moments in the history of MNF. One of those highlights? The infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail_Mary "Fail Mary"]] during Week 4 of the 2012 season between Packers and Seahawks, complete with the 2 replacement refs giving two completely different calls and a close up of the play.
* On 10 October 2014, American gymnast Simone Biles became the first world all-around champion to repeat her title since 2003 and the first American to do the same since ''1994''. Despite Biles' megawatt smile, the award ceremony proceeded with all due solemnity -- until after the playing of the national anthem, when silver medalist Larisa Iordache of Romania, Biles' good friend, pointed out a bee lurking in her bouquet. At which point Simone Biles, who can perform feats of daring that would make a Green Beret blanch, [[http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/simone-biles-bee-gymnastics-all-around-world-championships-winner squeaked and ran off the podium]] -- leaving the unconcerned bee to fly on and terrify the ''bronze'' medalist, American Kyla Ross. Biles' comment on the episode?
-->'''Simone Biles''': I don't do bugs.
* Outfielder David Hulse of the Texas Rangers had a rather memorable at-bat where he fouled off four straight pitches into the opposing team's dugout. The ''same spot'' in the dugout, in fact. Even better was the other team's reaction; after the first couple of foul-offs, the players in the dugout [[GenreSavvy began to move to the other end of the dugout]], and after the third, ''everyone'' in the dugout was bunched up at that far end.
* American [[MyNaymeIs Pharoah]] became the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown and ended a 37 year drought. The reaction of his jockey, Victor Espinoza, was purely this trope.
-->'''Espinoza:''' HOLY SHIT!
* The San Francisco Giants' parody of the ''Series/FullHouse'' opening, aptly named ''Full Clubhouse''. Brandon Crawford rocking his long hair and strumming a guitar like Uncle Jesse, Hunter Pence [[MythologyGag polishing his]] [[CompanionCube scooter]], and Jeremy Affeldt's shit-eating grin [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAgJwlY4pVg must be seen to be believed]].
* During the Thanksgiving night game between Packers and Bears a bad snap on 3rd and 15 went between the legs of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers his response? "Ah fuck!" heard throughout the country. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJBW1_DxkrU]]
** A couple of years before that, Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks said, "Oh shit!" While playing against the San Francisco 49ers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FrQYW0Ap4U On national primetime television.]]
* During the fourth test of the 2015 Ashes series, Australia crumbled to [[EpicFail 60 all out]] for their first innings. It looks like someone at Sky Sport has a sense of humour, because the recap video at the end of their broadcast was a montage of Australian batsmen getting out, set to the Script's "Breakeven". It featured some very appropriate lines such as "I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing..." and "I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces".
* Spanish association football squad CD Leganés is quickly becoming famous for its amusing promotional posters for its home games since earning promotion to Spanish footy's top tier in 2016.
** Against FC Barcelona: "Lega" took advantage of Barça star Lionel Messi having inherited the [=D10S=] moniker previously held by Diego Armando Maradona -- playing with "dios", Spanish word for "god", and the number 10 that both Maradona and Messi use often -- and the promotional poster was an image of the stadium surrounded by clouds forming the silhouette of Messi, complete with the tagline "May it be as [=D10S=] would have it... or not". They got defeated [[CurbStompBattle 1-5]] by Barcelona, but hey, at least they had some laughs.
** Valencia CF has a bat on their team crest, and their match at Butarque, CD Leganés' home field, was scheduled to be at noon. The poster for the match was an image of a bat sleeping in bed with the caption "Here's hoping this is one of the advantages of playing in the morning".
** Sevilla FC has well-known sporting director Monchi in their ranks, known for signing cheap, lesser-known players to the squad who eventually become stars in the club. The first poster had an allusion to Leganés players, saying "Don't call their names, Monchi is coming and he'll write them down in his notebook". They outdid themselves with a second poster, capitalizing on Sevilla chairman José Castro [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally misnaming their stadium as Albucarque]]. The new poster had the United States flag in the background, and read "[[GratuitousEnglish C.D. Leganés vs Seville FC in Albucarque Stadium:]] a show better than the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl", complete with a blue foam finger that said "Come on Cucumbers", playing with Lega's "pepineros" nickname.
** In the 2017/18 Spanish Cup, they had their best run ever in the tournament making it to semi-finals (and eliminating reigning European and world champions Real Madrid in the process). After Sevilla ousted them from the tourney in a hard-fought tie, they released a poster with the caption "Leaving with our head up high." The picture was an exit door of Sevilla's stadium... with a head-shaped hole in the wall right above it.
* The Australian Open hosts the ''Legends'' tournament, where the greatest and most skilled retired players of Tennis's history team up in a doubles competition. However, the players themselves don't take it seriously, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcBcVAqV9c would often get into the kind of mischief]] that would get them kicked out of a regular tournament [[note]] To reiterate, ''nobody'' takes it seriously. [[NotSoAboveItAll Not even the normally-impartial umpire]]. The "tournament" is organised mostly for the amusement of the players and the audience.[[/note]]. Examples include turning a serve into a table tennis game, taunting opponents and their own ''partners'', [[https://youtu.be/cey_XzQbfUo?t=3m15s enlisting the ball boys to play on their team]], ''[[https://youtu.be/7IcBcVAqV9c?t=44s bribing the umpire]]'', switching sides at a moment's notice, [[DistractedByTheSexy hitting on audience members]] while their partner continues playing, [[{{Calvinball}} making up rules]], [[LargeHam hamming it up]] and the list goes on. All this coming from tennis Grand Slam ''Champions''.
* In German football, the producers of the matchday program for Union Berlin, at the time playing in the country's Second Bundesliga, pulled off one of these when RB Leipzig came to town in August 2015. The visitors (now in the Bundesliga proper) were already the most hated club in the country for their backing by Red Bull and (probably more to the point) how they got around most of the rules designed to limit corporate involvement in the sport. Normally, one page of the program introduces the visiting team. Not this time... instead, fans were treated to a 700-word article on the history of bull farming.
* After the [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix]], Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg lashed out against Haas driver Kevin Magnussen for having overtaken him by forcing him off the track during the race, sarcastically complimenting his unsportsmanlike behavior. Kevin's response? "Suck my balls."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TAUdHjYB1U During a horse riding competition]], the rider causes the horse to bump into some of the bars while it was jumping, until the rider falls off and the horse itself ''does a better job in the competition without its rider.''
* March 27, 2019: David Pastrnak of the [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Boston Briuns]] is called for hooking in a game against the New York Rangers. The NBCSN feed of the game plays a Dunkin' commercial, which depicts Pastrnak going to the penalty box... [[https://awfulannouncing.com/nhl/bruins-david-pastrnak-enters-penalty-box-as-nbcsn-shows-commercial-of-him-entering-penalty-box.html alongside the live video of Pastrnak going to the penalty box.]]
* August 19, 2019: Paul [=DeJong=] of the St. Louis Cardinals hits a home run ball that hits, [[SignsOfDisrepair and takes out]], the "M" in Busch Stadium's "Big Mac Land" sign.
* Yuzuru Hanyu: Figure skating ace, pride of Japan, fountain of memes and funny incidents. As ''Theatre/AvenueQ'' has it, "Ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?", the way he laughs off minor falls really ''is'' adorably hilarious. Searching "Yuzuru Hanyu funny" will net you great [=YouTube=] videos, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kuNDp2Uxo this one.]] Highlights include: Hanyu putting his Franchise/WinnieThePooh tissue box on his head like a hat, crawling behind fellow Japanese skater Shoma Uno to avoid getting in the way of the cameras interviewing Uno, screaming in delight as he's lifted off the ice by Ondřej Hotárek, and many more.
** This compilation shows what happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8gwtjWXWo when figure skating becomes a comedy]], on and off ice.
* In 2020 The Denver Post ran [[https://www.denverpost.com/2020/05/07/greatest-colorado-athlete-of-all-time-winner/ a poll]] on who was the best player to have played for Colorado. One of the highlights listed for the winner, Avalanche captain Joe Sakic? [[BewareTheNiceOnes The one time he beat up]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18zsScCM1kY Doug Gilmour.]] (For some context this is almost literally the ''only'' fight Sakic got in.)
* In American Football, a play officially starts when the center snaps the ball; movement before that by the offense is a false start penalty. However, the rest of the team isn't watching the center; they're relying on play-calling to know when to move. If the center fails to snap the ball at the right time, this can lead to penalties being called on "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5phijpb1Hjk The entire offensive line]]" or "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2EM-zIWLDs Everybody but the center]]"; the latter is particularly humorous because, as some commentators have noted, those kinds of penalties are usually the result of an error ''by'' the center, but the way the rule book works, the center is the only one who didn't commit a penalty. Even some referees will [[{{Corpsing}} struggle to keep a straight face]] making these calls, and you can expect the TV announcers to crack up too.
** In this same vein, the Pro Bowl from around 2013 should be mentioned here as well; for those outside the US who may not know, the Pro Bowl is the NFL's version of Major League Baseball's All-Star game, and is generally viewed as an exhibition game held the weekend before the Super Bowl; there's nothing at stake unlike other games during the season. During the second quarter of the 2013 game, a flag was thrown, half-heartedly in the announcers' opinion, for a pass interference call. Before explaining the penalty to the crowd, referee Ed Hochuli quipped, "Yes, there are penalties in the Pro Bowl..."
* April 28, 2021: With the [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Chicago Cubs]] trailing the Atlanta Braves 10-0 in the bottom of the 7th, the Cubs bring in first baseman Anthony Rizzo to pitch to the Braves.[[note]]Using a position player to pitch is uncommon, usually in case of a blowout score or when the manager runs out of pitchers.[[/note]] Rizzo faces reigning National League MVP Freddie Freeman, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paaFLpJg79o strikes him out,]] leaving both players amused.
* During the women's field hockey event, the camera cuts to a cockroach trotting down the field. It ends with the bug turning its head as if to ask "I'm on TV?"
* Among other achievements the Colorado Avalanche got to win the 2022 Stanley Cup, they also got this: "first team to dent the cup before it even left the ice". Nicolas Aube-Kubel tripped while bringing the cup to the team picture and dented the base. The [[https://twitter.com/stecherlover/status/1541262213549359105 expressions]] are ''priceless''.
** Related, at the celebration parade a cop mistook defenseman Bowen Byram for a fan that breached the barricade and ''tried to force him back over''. Even the Denver PD got in on hazing [[https://twitter.com/denverpolice/status/1542613964940488704?s=21&t=IPdEGcfatadBWLUMOVAn2A that cop]].
** When noted that Nathan [=MacKinnon=], who infamously comes from the same town as and is good friends with Penguins star Sidney Crosby, would be ''hosting'' a Stanley Cup celebration for the first time, Nathan said "I've been the drunkest guy at two of [Sidney's parties] so he better be drunk at mine!". (Reportedly, he wasn't, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.)
[[AC:Politics]]
* Yes, politics. The 2008 Al Smith memorial dinner was a highlight for both presidential candidates, John [=McCain=] and Barack Obama, who both got off dozens of jabs and zingers. Senator [=McCain=] may have lost the election, but he could easily have a promising career as a standup comic in front of him. The line of the night?
-->'''Barack Obama:''' Contrary to the rumors you have heard, [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} I was not born in a manger]]. I was actually [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet Earth]].
** Kinda have a soft spot for this one:
--->'''John [=McCain=]:''' Now, of course, it would be unfair -- and even a little unkind -- to put my opponent on the spot before he gets up here or to throw him off his game with unreasonably high expectations. But I do need to warn you, ladies and gentlemen, you all are about to witness the funniest performance in history, in the 63-year history of this event. Let's not add to the mounting pressure he must be feeling; just prepare yourself for nonstop hilarity, the funniest 15 minutes of your life or any other. I think he knows that anything short of that would mar the evening, insult our hosts, and perhaps even cost him several swing states. Senator Obama, the microphone is all yours.
* The White House Press Correspondents' Dinner can always be expected to be this, but there are a couple of incidents that stick out...
** George W. Bush is joined by an impersonator that exposes the "thoughts" in his head, showing he's more than capable to make fun of himself.
-->'''Real!George:''' Members of the White House Press Correspondents Association, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen...
-->'''Fake!George:''' [[SophisticatedAsHell Here I am!]]
** This was, of course, immediately upstaged by Creator/StephenColbert giving a twenty-minute spiel as his character from ''Series/TheColbertReport'', who gave some of the harshest zingers only a few feet away from his targets.
-->'''Colbert:''' I just like the guy. He's a good joe. Obviously loves his wife, calls her his better half, and polls show America agrees.
** In 2011, Seth Meyers was the comedian chosen to headline the event. During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xun9UYCO7es a series of jokes regarding the lack of attention given to political television network C-SPAN]], he made a joke about Osama bin Laden's location. The cameras cut to the audience's reaction, including President Obama's toothy grin. Within 48 hours, bin Laden was dead, and made Obama's "poker face" a viral hit.
-->'''Stephen Colbert:''' ''[As Obama]'' [[http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/501cxj/carefree-pre-9-11-world "It's funny 'cause I'm about to kill him!"]]
* UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy was a Harvard man, and when Yale awarded him an honorary degree and invited him to deliver the keynote address at their commencement ceremony that year, he graciously accepted, but could '''not''' resist letting fly a few [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBARZjZe874 zingers]] in the speech he gave.
-->'''Kennedy:''' It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds, [[BitingTheHandHumor a Harvard education and a Yale degree]]. I am ''particularly'' glad to become a Yale man because as I think about my troubles, I find that a lot of them have come [[TakeThat from other Yale men]].
* Bush gets...a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8GOrc0-Ygg boot to the head]]. Sort of.
** Then the ''Independent'', an English newspaper, covered [[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/shoethrower-of-baghdad-brings-iraqis-on-to-the-streets-1128212.html the responses in Iraq]]. It's impossible to look at the article's picture and the soundbites without thinking of "[[http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-17.htm He has given us... His shoe!]]". Especially when you consider the potential protest marches, [[LifeImitatesArt people brandishing... the shoe]]!

* UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan: In a story told by his youngest son of his father's unflagging optimism, Reagan spent some time in his Presidency trying to revive the "thumbs up" sign. During this time, Reagan has his head outside of the limo's sunroof, with his wife, their son and daughter-in-law in the car, and he is giving the thumbs up to the people outside when a gentlemen gives him a gesture of his own...with a different finger...Reagan [[TheStoic unfazed by this]] sits back down, turns to his family and responds, "See, it's catching on."
** Reagan reading a letter he received from a child after getting wounded in an assassination attempt: "I hope you get well quick or you might have to make a speech in your pajamas."
* Edwin Edwards. Former four-term governor of Louisiana. Well-deserved reputation as a ladies' man—married three times, currently to a woman more than 50 years his junior. Served time in federal prison on corruption charges. [[http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/03/edwin_edwards_congress_electio.html Read and enjoy]]...
** In 1983, when running for his third term as governor against incumbent David Treen, he said that his opponent was "so slow it takes him an hour and a half to watch ''[[Series/SixtyMinutes 60 Minutes]]''."
** In 1991, when running for his fourth term as governor against former [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan KKK]] Grand Wizard David Duke: "The only place where David Duke and I are alike is we are both wizards under the sheets."
** During a roast after he was released from prison in 2011: "I give blood for them to make Viagra."
** During the same roast, on the reputed aphrodisiac quality of oysters: "I had a dozen last night, and only 10 of them worked."
** When his younger brother warned him that sex with his current wife would be dangerous (for him), he reportedly said, "Well, Marion... if she dies, she dies."

He took the opportunity to [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/chantezneymoss/snomg-nc-senator-becomes-legislation-of-one-s0gm make a bunch of fake laws]] since any vote he made technically made it unanimous.
* Mo Udall, a Democratic Representative who had run for President in 1976, was approached by reporters in 1983 and asked if he would run for his party's nomination in 1984. He responded with his own funny take on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shermanesque_statement Shermanesque statement]].[[note]]In American political jargon, a clear statement made by a potential candidate that he or she will not run for a given position. The name comes from [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] general William Tecumseh Sherman, who unequivocally denied any interest in the presidency on two separate occasions.[[/note]]
-->'''Udall:''' If nominated, I shall run to Mexico. If elected, I shall fight extradition.
* Former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy became known for his uncanny ability to mess up basically any sentence he said. We will focus on an amusing moment that happened on May 2013, almost a year and a half into his first term as Prime Minister:
-->'''Rajoy:''' ''[starting a speech during a Congress meeting]'' Mr. Prime Minister, Deputies in attendance... Well, it has been...\\

* After a performance of ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', the actress playing Christine stepped forward to urge the audience to give donations to a charitable cause (since it was in San Francisco, I believe it was AIDS-related). She prefaced her remarks, "Now, before we continue with Act III of ''Phantom of the Opera''..." The reaction of the actor playing the Phantom was priceless.
* Picture it: a tense scene during the second act of ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', when Fiyero has his gun trained on the Wizard, Glinda and Elphaba are both telling him to flee, and he admits he loves her and is going to go with her. Cue a little girl in the audience going "Yay!"--clear as a bell and quite loud in the silence. Everyone in the theater busted up--and while the actors were quite professional and did not break character or the scene, the actress playing Elphaba was [[{{Corpsing}} visibly struggling not to burst out laughing]], and giggles were in fact audible.

The title screen plays it straight but then it quickly turns into a GagDub ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MmG41Tllxo link]], {{NSFW}}), which sees protagonists Lightning and Sazh fighting a gigantic sex robot that Lightning forgot to pay. It also deliberately Flanderizes the original characters, with Lightning as a cardboard-cutout ActionGirl equivalent of Keanu Reeves, the gentle and polite Sazh as a ne'er-do-well player-wannabe constantly looking for poon from Lightning, and the chocobo living in Sazh's afro as a player-mentor:

* Back in 2008, a British illusionist/mentalist named Derren Brown put on a stage show called "An Evening of Wonders," during which he performed the Oracle act (you write a question on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope, seal it, then put your initials and what row and level you're seated on a sticker on the outside of the envelope; the idea was that he'd be able to guess your question based on how you wrote your info on the sticker). On one of the envelopes submitted, he looked at it, and guessed that, based on the fact that the person who put it in had written his info kinda scrunched up, that it was a teenage boy who, on a dare from his friends, had written something rude; Brown went on and guessed that it would probably say something along the lines of "why are you a wanker?" He threw the envelope into the audience and said they were welcome to look at the billet inside if they wished. They did, and he wasn't too far off. It said "cock." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ktCoDrSi0 Here's a clip of the show.]] The whole sequence starts at around 3:02.
** And it became a BrickJoke at the end. During a segment at the beginning (a game of 20 Questions), he sent someone back into the audience without guessing the object they were thinking of, concerned that he'd get it wrong. At the end, he unrolled a big scroll with a series of predictions of things that would happen during the show. The word "bracelet" showed up on the scroll no less than ''three times'', and when he asked if anyone in the audience had thought of a bracelet in the 20 Questions game, it turned out that that was, indeed, what the lady that he sent back had thought of. Derren's response: "You know what, that kid's right, I ''am'' a cock!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fAsKuMDsE Here you go.]] The actual unrolling of the scroll starts at about 3:15; the lady revealing that she thought of the bracelet is at around 5:05.

-->'''Chouji''': ''(picking up a notebook)'' Hey, what do we got here?\\
'''Sasuke''': Hey! Those are my inner thoughts! ''(gets restrained by Kakashi)''\\
'''Chouji''': It's his poetry journal! Let's see what we got here. Let's see... ''(starts reading)'' "My blood should be red, but it's black / My tear should be clear, but it's red / The sky is black / The ground is gray / A crow cries out my name...Sasuke" ''(gawking)'' Dude... you write this crap?\\
''(Chouji slaps Sasuke with his poetry journal)''\\
'''Sasuke''': Look...you guys can't understand me! You don't know what it's like; my older brother killed everyone in my village. Because of that, every day I suffer an inner pain that I can only express through poetry.\\
'''Kisame''': ...you're a pansy!\\
'''Kakashi''': Are you telling me Itachi is one of those wiener emo kids, too?\\
'''Sasuke''': Dude, Itachi is way more emo than I will ever be; he's got thicker glasses, he turns his poetry into music on the guitar, and he paints his nails. I wish I were as emo as him. ''(Kakashi, Chouji and Kisame laugh)'' You know what, I wish I were dead, too!\\
'''Chouji''': Yeah, Sasuke, ''we all wish you were dead!''\\
'''Kakashi''': Hey, remember your training--[[RefugeInAudacity down the tracks, not across them]].\\
'''Sasuke''': You know what, I'm gonna write a song about this! And when I sell out and make millions of dollars, you'll all wish you were nicer to me! ''[Exit]''\\
'''Chouji''': You know, the sad thing is, he is gonna get famous for that whiny crap. Hey, Sasuke! Come back here! I'm not done harassing you yet! I gotta still stick your head in the toilet! ''[Exit]''

* In baseball, any time a ball bounces off a player's head and goes over the fence for a home run, most famously happening to Jose Canseco.
* Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson gets a disproportionate number of these. To wit:
** The infamous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bird_Beanball.png "Bird Beanball incident"]] (not because a bird died, but because it chose the absolute worst time to fly into the field, resulting in a one-in-a-''billion'' moment).
** The 1994 MLB All-Star Game. Johnson nearly decapitates John Kruk with a pitch that's ''way'' inside, ''way'' high and ''way'' over Kruk's head. Kruk acts like he's about to have a massive heart attack, and spends the rest of his at-bat feigning absolute terror and is "almost at the on-deck circle" he's so far back in the batter's box.
** In the All-Star Game in 1998, Larry Walker had to face Randy Johnson again after he had done so once in interleague play, where Johnson famously threw wildly out of the strike zone and Walker fanned himself afterward. When they both face each other, ''it happens again.'' Walker then turns around his batting helmet, grabs the other end of the bat, and switches hands. He eventually walked, at which point even the announcers were cracking up.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PRZ4wrqAhk "Look at all the fine money to be collected by the Rangers..."]]
* Colts vs. Texans, 2008 Texans home opener. Texans are beasting, up 27-10 with less than five minutes to go. Colts score a touchdown to make it 27-17, but the Texans recover the onside kick and need just one first down to ice it. Texans back-up quarterback Sage Rosenfels, starting in place of Matt Schaub (who was suffering from some kind of illness) attempts to get this first down by vaulting himself into the air, getting himself knocked silly and flipped 360 degrees in the air, fumbling the ball to Colts defender Gary Brackett, who takes the ball back for a touchdown, making it 27-24. On the next Texans drive, Rosenfels fumbles, and the Colts are able to score another touchdown, making it 31-27. Rosenfels then throws an interception to seal the game for the Colts. After spending 55 minutes creating a quarterback controversy in Houston, it only took Sage Rosenfels five minutes to perhaps jeopardize his career.
* Any time in soccer that the ball goes through the goalkeeper's legs.
* Anything pertaining to Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez. A personal favorite moment is the time that Manny acted as the cutoff man for a throw from centerfielder Johnny Damon in 2004. There was also the time he was in the dugout randomly petting teammate Julian Tavarez in 2007. But there's too many to list here about Manny.
* Somewhat related to Manny Ramirez but not quite. In 2004 or so, Manny had robbed New York Yankees utility infielder Miguel Cairo of a homerun. Cairo had already circled the bases and was in the dugout and had no idea that he was out until someone in the dugout pointed it out to him. The look on Cairo's face as he realized he was out was priceless
* Jonathan Papelbon's Irish Jig after the Red Sox clinched the AL East...actually that whole celebration is made of hilarity. That was just the crowning moment.
%%* The time a car tire was THIS close to win a race.
* A football player trips over his own feet and bites the dust. Without missing a beat the announcer says "Claude Raines on tackle."
* Chess example: At the closing dinner after the 1960 Chess Olympics in Leipzig (East Germany), 17-year-old Bobby Fischer, already considered the West's best hope for a non-Soviet World Champion, told then World Champion, Mikhail Tal, that he could read palms. Tal offered him his hand, Fischer examined it and said solemnly: "I see that in the near future you will lose the title of world champion to a young American grandmaster!" Tal promptly turned to American Grandmaster William Lombardy and, shaking his hand, said, "Bravo, Billy! So it's you who are destined to succeed me!"
* In NASCAR, you can typically rely on Kenny Schrader to have a good sense of humor. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdcXXmyqewU Here's how he attributed a 4th place run in the 1998 Daytona 500 despite a broken sternum.]]

* UsefulNotes/FormulaOne driver Kimi Räikkönen has spawned quite a few:
** When asked if he'd attended a presentation prior to the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix[[note]]Michael Schumacher was retiring and had received a special award from Pelé[[/note]], Kimi responded - on live TV - "No, I was having a shit". Equally funny is Martin Brundle, without missing a beat, replying, "Well, obviously you'll have a nice light car on the grid, then".
** Kimi's increasingly irate responses to his team's radio messages during the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, culminating in, "[[UnwantedAssistance Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!]]". Got even funnier when, two races later at the Brazilian Grand Prix, he span off the track and then ''got lost'' while trying to return to it.

* The Buttfumble by Mark Sanchez. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* At the 1975 Artistic Gymnastics World Cup at Wembley, Soviet gymnastics queen Ludmilla Tourischeva dismounted the uneven bars -- and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9gBk0P9yEc the entire apparatus collapsed behind her as she saluted]]. But the truly funny bit was that Tourischeva ''didn't even blink''. She [[UnflinchingWalk simply walked away as though nothing had happened]], in a moment that can only be accurately summarised with, "And not a single fuck was given that day, or ever again." Incidentally, she also swept the all-around ''and'' all four event finals.
* Billy Sianis' curse on the Chicago Cubs is kind of funny if you aren't a fan. In his own words to the team owner:
-->You are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because [[DisproportionateRetribution you insulted my goat]].
** The Cubs finally won the World Series in 2016, which probably takes most of the sting out of it for even the Cubs fanbase.
* Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAv5R3SOQUw nonverbal reaction]] to being thrown a 57-mph [[InherentlyFunnyWords Eephus pitch]]. [[note]]On average, pitches in MLB range from about 80-95 mph. The eephus pitch capitalizes on this by being so slow by comparison--and with an unusually high trajectory--that it's basically a MindScrew.[[/note]]
* The entire Monday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers from 2007. There was a problem with the sod and heavy rain, leading to a huge, muddy mess that the players could barely perform on. Most notably, one punt ended up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7DTNEa2E7w lodging itself in the ground]] like a cannonball. The Steelers won 3-0 and it was both the lowest-scoring Monday Night Football game ever played and tied for the lowest scoring NFL game ever.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dwCFWI03p4 The Monday Night Football intro for the 2015-2016 season]] highlights many famous moments in the history of MNF. One of those highlights? The infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail_Mary "Fail Mary"]] during Week 4 of the 2012 season between Packers and Seahawks, complete with the 2 replacement refs giving two completely different calls and a close up of the play.
* On 10 October 2014, American gymnast Simone Biles became the first world all-around champion to repeat her title since 2003 and the first American to do the same since ''1994''. Despite Biles' megawatt smile, the award ceremony proceeded with all due solemnity -- until after the playing of the national anthem, when silver medalist Larisa Iordache of Romania, Biles' good friend, pointed out a bee lurking in her bouquet. At which point Simone Biles, who can perform feats of daring that would make a Green Beret blanch, [[http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/simone-biles-bee-gymnastics-all-around-world-championships-winner squeaked and ran off the podium]] -- leaving the unconcerned bee to fly on and terrify the ''bronze'' medalist, American Kyla Ross. Biles' comment on the episode?
-->'''Simone Biles''': I don't do bugs.
* Outfielder David Hulse of the Texas Rangers had a rather memorable at-bat where he fouled off four straight pitches into the opposing team's dugout. The ''same spot'' in the dugout, in fact. Even better was the other team's reaction; after the first couple of foul-offs, the players in the dugout [[GenreSavvy began to move to the other end of the dugout]], and after the third, ''everyone'' in the dugout was bunched up at that far end.
* American [[MyNaymeIs Pharoah]] became the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown and ended a 37 year drought. The reaction of his jockey, Victor Espinoza, was purely this trope.
-->'''Espinoza:''' HOLY SHIT!
* The San Francisco Giants' parody of the ''Series/FullHouse'' opening, aptly named ''Full Clubhouse''. Brandon Crawford rocking his long hair and strumming a guitar like Uncle Jesse, Hunter Pence [[MythologyGag polishing his]] [[CompanionCube scooter]], and Jeremy Affeldt's shit-eating grin [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAgJwlY4pVg must be seen to be believed]].
* During the Thanksgiving night game between Packers and Bears a bad snap on 3rd and 15 went between the legs of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers his response? "Ah fuck!" heard throughout the country. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJBW1_DxkrU]]
** A couple of years before that, Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks said, "Oh shit!" While playing against the San Francisco 49ers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FrQYW0Ap4U On national primetime television.]]
* During the fourth test of the 2015 Ashes series, Australia crumbled to [[EpicFail 60 all out]] for their first innings. It looks like someone at Sky Sport has a sense of humour, because the recap video at the end of their broadcast was a montage of Australian batsmen getting out, set to the Script's "Breakeven". It featured some very appropriate lines such as "I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing..." and "I'm falling to pieces, yeah, I'm falling to pieces".
* Spanish association football squad CD Leganés is quickly becoming famous for its amusing promotional posters for its home games since earning promotion to Spanish footy's top tier in 2016.
** Against FC Barcelona: "Lega" took advantage of Barça star Lionel Messi having inherited the [=D10S=] moniker previously held by Diego Armando Maradona -- playing with "dios", Spanish word for "god", and the number 10 that both Maradona and Messi use often -- and the promotional poster was an image of the stadium surrounded by clouds forming the silhouette of Messi, complete with the tagline "May it be as [=D10S=] would have it... or not". They got defeated [[CurbStompBattle 1-5]] by Barcelona, but hey, at least they had some laughs.
** Valencia CF has a bat on their team crest, and their match at Butarque, CD Leganés' home field, was scheduled to be at noon. The poster for the match was an image of a bat sleeping in bed with the caption "Here's hoping this is one of the advantages of playing in the morning".
** Sevilla FC has well-known sporting director Monchi in their ranks, known for signing cheap, lesser-known players to the squad who eventually become stars in the club. The first poster had an allusion to Leganés players, saying "Don't call their names, Monchi is coming and he'll write them down in his notebook". They outdid themselves with a second poster, capitalizing on Sevilla chairman José Castro [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally misnaming their stadium as Albucarque]]. The new poster had the United States flag in the background, and read "[[GratuitousEnglish C.D. Leganés vs Seville FC in Albucarque Stadium:]] a show better than the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl", complete with a blue foam finger that said "Come on Cucumbers", playing with Lega's "pepineros" nickname.
** In the 2017/18 Spanish Cup, they had their best run ever in the tournament making it to semi-finals (and eliminating reigning European and world champions Real Madrid in the process). After Sevilla ousted them from the tourney in a hard-fought tie, they released a poster with the caption "Leaving with our head up high." The picture was an exit door of Sevilla's stadium... with a head-shaped hole in the wall right above it.
* The Australian Open hosts the ''Legends'' tournament, where the greatest and most skilled retired players of Tennis's history team up in a doubles competition. However, the players themselves don't take it seriously, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcBcVAqV9c would often get into the kind of mischief]] that would get them kicked out of a regular tournament [[note]] To reiterate, ''nobody'' takes it seriously. [[NotSoAboveItAll Not even the normally-impartial umpire]]. The "tournament" is organised mostly for the amusement of the players and the audience.[[/note]]. Examples include turning a serve into a table tennis game, taunting opponents and their own ''partners'', [[https://youtu.be/cey_XzQbfUo?t=3m15s enlisting the ball boys to play on their team]], ''[[https://youtu.be/7IcBcVAqV9c?t=44s bribing the umpire]]'', switching sides at a moment's notice, [[DistractedByTheSexy hitting on audience members]] while their partner continues playing, [[{{Calvinball}} making up rules]], [[LargeHam hamming it up]] and the list goes on. All this coming from tennis Grand Slam ''Champions''.
* In German football, the producers of the matchday program for Union Berlin, at the time playing in the country's Second Bundesliga, pulled off one of these when RB Leipzig came to town in August 2015. The visitors (now in the Bundesliga proper) were already the most hated club in the country for their backing by Red Bull and (probably more to the point) how they got around most of the rules designed to limit corporate involvement in the sport. Normally, one page of the program introduces the visiting team. Not this time... instead, fans were treated to a 700-word article on the history of bull farming.
* After the [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix]], Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg lashed out against Haas driver Kevin Magnussen for having overtaken him by forcing him off the track during the race, sarcastically complimenting his unsportsmanlike behavior. Kevin's response? "Suck my balls."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TAUdHjYB1U During a horse riding competition]], the rider causes the horse to bump into some of the bars while it was jumping, until the rider falls off and the horse itself ''does a better job in the competition without its rider.''
* March 27, 2019: David Pastrnak of the [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Boston Briuns]] is called for hooking in a game against the New York Rangers. The NBCSN feed of the game plays a Dunkin' commercial, which depicts Pastrnak going to the penalty box... [[https://awfulannouncing.com/nhl/bruins-david-pastrnak-enters-penalty-box-as-nbcsn-shows-commercial-of-him-entering-penalty-box.html alongside the live video of Pastrnak going to the penalty box.]]
* August 19, 2019: Paul [=DeJong=] of the St. Louis Cardinals hits a home run ball that hits, [[SignsOfDisrepair and takes out]], the "M" in Busch Stadium's "Big Mac Land" sign.
* Yuzuru Hanyu: Figure skating ace, pride of Japan, fountain of memes and funny incidents. As ''Theatre/AvenueQ'' has it, "Ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?", the way he laughs off minor falls really ''is'' adorably hilarious. Searching "Yuzuru Hanyu funny" will net you great [=YouTube=] videos, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kuNDp2Uxo this one.]] Highlights include: Hanyu putting his Franchise/WinnieThePooh tissue box on his head like a hat, crawling behind fellow Japanese skater Shoma Uno to avoid getting in the way of the cameras interviewing Uno, screaming in delight as he's lifted off the ice by Ondřej Hotárek, and many more.
** This compilation shows what happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8gwtjWXWo when figure skating becomes a comedy]], on and off ice.
* In 2020 The Denver Post ran [[https://www.denverpost.com/2020/05/07/greatest-colorado-athlete-of-all-time-winner/ a poll]] on who was the best player to have played for Colorado. One of the highlights listed for the winner, Avalanche captain Joe Sakic? [[BewareTheNiceOnes The one time he beat up]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18zsScCM1kY Doug Gilmour.]] (For some context this is almost literally the ''only'' fight Sakic got in.)
* In American Football, a play officially starts when the center snaps the ball; movement before that by the offense is a false start penalty. However, the rest of the team isn't watching the center; they're relying on play-calling to know when to move. If the center fails to snap the ball at the right time, this can lead to penalties being called on "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5phijpb1Hjk The entire offensive line]]" or "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2EM-zIWLDs Everybody but the center]]"; the latter is particularly humorous because, as some commentators have noted, those kinds of penalties are usually the result of an error ''by'' the center, but the way the rule book works, the center is the only one who didn't commit a penalty. Even some referees will [[{{Corpsing}} struggle to keep a straight face]] making these calls, and you can expect the TV announcers to crack up too.
** In this same vein, the Pro Bowl from around 2013 should be mentioned here as well; for those outside the US who may not know, the Pro Bowl is the NFL's version of Major League Baseball's All-Star game, and is generally viewed as an exhibition game held the weekend before the Super Bowl; there's nothing at stake unlike other games during the season. During the second quarter of the 2013 game, a flag was thrown, half-heartedly in the announcers' opinion, for a pass interference call. Before explaining the penalty to the crowd, referee Ed Hochuli quipped, "Yes, there are penalties in the Pro Bowl..."
* April 28, 2021: With the [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball Chicago Cubs]] trailing the Atlanta Braves 10-0 in the bottom of the 7th, the Cubs bring in first baseman Anthony Rizzo to pitch to the Braves.[[note]]Using a position player to pitch is uncommon, usually in case of a blowout score or when the manager runs out of pitchers.[[/note]] Rizzo faces reigning National League MVP Freddie Freeman, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paaFLpJg79o strikes him out,]] leaving both players amused.
* During the women's field hockey event, the camera cuts to a cockroach trotting down the field. It ends with the bug turning its head as if to ask "I'm on TV?"
* Among other achievements the Colorado Avalanche got to win the 2022 Stanley Cup, they also got this: "first team to dent the cup before it even left the ice". Nicolas Aube-Kubel tripped while bringing the cup to the team picture and dented the base. The [[https://twitter.com/stecherlover/status/1541262213549359105 expressions]] are ''priceless''.
** Related, at the celebration parade a cop mistook defenseman Bowen Byram for a fan that breached the barricade and ''tried to force him back over''. Even the Denver PD got in on hazing [[https://twitter.com/denverpolice/status/1542613964940488704?s=21&t=IPdEGcfatadBWLUMOVAn2A that cop]].
** When noted that Nathan [=MacKinnon=], who infamously comes from the same town as and is good friends with Penguins star Sidney Crosby, would be ''hosting'' a Stanley Cup celebration for the first time, Nathan said "I've been the drunkest guy at two of [Sidney's parties] so he better be drunk at mine!". (Reportedly, he wasn't, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.)
[[AC:Politics]]
* Yes, politics. The 2008 Al Smith memorial dinner was a highlight for both presidential candidates, John [=McCain=] and Barack Obama, who both got off dozens of jabs and zingers. Senator [=McCain=] may have lost the election, but he could easily have a promising career as a standup comic in front of him. The line of the night?
-->'''Barack Obama:''' Contrary to the rumors you have heard, [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} I was not born in a manger]]. I was actually [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El, to save the planet Earth]].
** Kinda have a soft spot for this one:
--->'''John [=McCain=]:''' Now, of course, it would be unfair -- and even a little unkind -- to put my opponent on the spot before he gets up here or to throw him off his game with unreasonably high expectations. But I do need to warn you, ladies and gentlemen, you all are about to witness the funniest performance in history, in the 63-year history of this event. Let's not add to the mounting pressure he must be feeling; just prepare yourself for nonstop hilarity, the funniest 15 minutes of your life or any other. I think he knows that anything short of that would mar the evening, insult our hosts, and perhaps even cost him several swing states. Senator Obama, the microphone is all yours.
* The White House Press Correspondents' Dinner can always be expected to be this, but there are a couple of incidents that stick out...
** George W. Bush is joined by an impersonator that exposes the "thoughts" in his head, showing he's more than capable to make fun of himself.
-->'''Real!George:''' Members of the White House Press Correspondents Association, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen...
-->'''Fake!George:''' [[SophisticatedAsHell Here I am!]]
** This was, of course, immediately upstaged by Creator/StephenColbert giving a twenty-minute spiel as his character from ''Series/TheColbertReport'', who gave some of the harshest zingers only a few feet away from his targets.
-->'''Colbert:''' I just like the guy. He's a good joe. Obviously loves his wife, calls her his better half, and polls show America agrees.
** In 2011, Seth Meyers was the comedian chosen to headline the event. During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xun9UYCO7es a series of jokes regarding the lack of attention given to political television network C-SPAN]], he made a joke about Osama bin Laden's location. The cameras cut to the audience's reaction, including President Obama's toothy grin. Within 48 hours, bin Laden was dead, and made Obama's "poker face" a viral hit.
-->'''Stephen Colbert:''' ''[As Obama]'' [[http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/501cxj/carefree-pre-9-11-world "It's funny 'cause I'm about to kill him!"]]
* UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy was a Harvard man, and when Yale awarded him an honorary degree and invited him to deliver the keynote address at their commencement ceremony that year, he graciously accepted, but could '''not''' resist letting fly a few [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBARZjZe874 zingers]] in the speech he gave.
-->'''Kennedy:''' It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds, [[BitingTheHandHumor a Harvard education and a Yale degree]]. I am ''particularly'' glad to become a Yale man because as I think about my troubles, I find that a lot of them have come [[TakeThat from other Yale men]].
* Bush gets...a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8GOrc0-Ygg boot to the head]]. Sort of.
** Then the ''Independent'', an English newspaper, covered [[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/shoethrower-of-baghdad-brings-iraqis-on-to-the-streets-1128212.html the responses in Iraq]]. It's impossible to look at the article's picture and the soundbites without thinking of "[[http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-17.htm He has given us... His shoe!]]". Especially when you consider the potential protest marches, [[LifeImitatesArt people brandishing... the shoe]]!
** Bush's assertion that he "looked into the man's [[IncrediblyLamePun sole]]".

* UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan: In a story told by his youngest son of his father's unflagging optimism, Reagan spent some time in his Presidency trying to revive the "thumbs up" sign. During this time, Reagan has his head outside of the limo's sunroof, with his wife, their son and daughter-in-law in the car, and he is giving the thumbs up to the people outside when a gentlemen gives him a gesture of his own...with a different finger...Reagan [[TheStoic unfazed by this]] sits back down, turns to his family and responds, "See, it's catching on."
** Reagan reading a letter he received from a child after getting wounded in an assassination attempt: "I hope you get well quick or you might have to make a speech in your pajamas."

He took the opportunity to [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/chantezneymoss/snomg-nc-senator-becomes-legislation-of-one-s0gm make a bunch of fake laws]] since any vote he made technically made it unanimous.
* Mo Udall, a Democratic Representative who had run for President in 1976, was approached by reporters in 1983 and asked if he would run for his party's nomination in 1984. He responded with his own funny take on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shermanesque_statement Shermanesque statement]].[[note]]In American political jargon, a clear statement made by a potential candidate that he or she will not run for a given position. The name comes from [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] general William Tecumseh Sherman, who unequivocally denied any interest in the presidency on two separate occasions.[[/note]]

* After a performance of ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', the actress playing Christine stepped forward to urge the audience to give donations to a charitable cause (since it was in San Francisco, I believe it was AIDS-related). She prefaced her remarks, "Now, before we continue with Act III of ''Phantom of the Opera''..." The reaction of the actor playing the Phantom was priceless.
* Picture it: a tense scene during the second act of ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', when Fiyero has his gun trained on the Wizard, Glinda and Elphaba are both telling him to flee, and he admits he loves her and is going to go with her. Cue a little girl in the audience going "Yay!"--clear as a bell and quite loud in the silence. Everyone in the theater busted up--and while the actors were quite professional and did not break character or the scene, the actress playing Elphaba was [[{{Corpsing}} visibly struggling not to burst out laughing]], and giggles were in fact audible. Unsurprisingly, the same was true of Glinda's actress.

* ''Pinball/MedievalMadness'' is a nonstop cavalcade of Funny Moments, thanks to clever writing by [[{{Series/SCTV}} Chicago Second City]] writers Scott Adsit and Kevin Dorff.
** "I'm the Duke of Bourbon... it's happy hour!"

* Game-review website IGN, when it decided to do an "English localization" of some of the cutscenes from the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' demo. The title screen plays it straight but then it quickly turns into a GagDub ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MmG41Tllxo link]], {{NSFW}}), which sees protagonists Lightning and Sazh fighting a gigantic sex robot that Lightning forgot to pay. It also deliberately Flanderizes the original characters, with Lightning as a cardboard-cutout ActionGirl equivalent of Keanu Reeves, the gentle and polite Sazh as a ne'er-do-well player-wannabe constantly looking for poon from Lightning, and the chocobo living in Sazh's afro as a player-mentor:
-->''Sazh:'' Say, little man... girl... I have no idea what the fuck you are, but we gotta roll.\\

* Someone took the generic 'Military Hand Signals', deemed appropriate for military personnel, and turned it into something that would suit the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy training manual.

* Back in 2008, a British illusionist/mentalist named Derren Brown put on a stage show called "An Evening of Wonders," during which he performed the Oracle act (you write a question on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope, seal it, then put your initials and what row and level you're seated on a sticker on the outside of the envelope; the idea was that he'd be able to guess your question based on how you wrote your info on the sticker). On one of the envelopes submitted, he looked at it, and guessed that, based on the fact that the person who put it in had written his info kinda scrunched up, that it was a teenage boy who, on a dare from his friends, had written something rude; Brown went on and guessed that it would probably say something along the lines of "why are you a wanker?" He threw the envelope into the audience and said they were welcome to look at the billet inside if they wished. They did, and he wasn't too far off. It said "cock." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ktCoDrSi0 Here's a clip of the show.]] The whole sequence starts at around 3:02.
** And it became a BrickJoke at the end. During a segment at the beginning (a game of 20 Questions), he sent someone back into the audience without guessing the object they were thinking of, concerned that he'd get it wrong. At the end, he unrolled a big scroll with a series of predictions of things that would happen during the show. The word "bracelet" showed up on the scroll no less than ''three times'', and when he asked if anyone in the audience had thought of a bracelet in the 20 Questions game, it turned out that that was, indeed, what the lady that he sent back had thought of. Derren's response: "You know what, that kid's right, I ''am'' a cock!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fAsKuMDsE Here you go.]] The actual unrolling of the scroll starts at about 3:15; the lady revealing that she thought of the bracelet is at around 5:05.
