we’ve all been embarrassed from time to time it’s just a part of life it happens what are you gonna do but public humiliation that’s even worse people getting to see you do whatever it was that led to your shame yikes but hey it happens but the worst of the worst public humiliation on television because then not only do loads of people see it it’s recorded forever and in the age of the internet footage never dies these are the most embarrassing moments caught on live tv [Music] number 15 the police sketch artist police sketch artists can typically produce some quite realistic portraits in many situations these have led people to recognize the criminal and report them to the police but if you were to rely on this sketch to catch a criminal the criminal would likely live a full life without ever being behind bars a news anchor had to awkwardly show what appeared to be a sketch drawn by a child it was supposed to portray a man in lancaster pennsylvania hey that’s where i live who had robbed a store but it wasn’t exactly the most detailed sketch he’s got a nose and some hair that goes like that and he was wearing a hat with an air of seriousness the anchor had to describe the man as being five feet four inches tall with a somewhat pointy chin stands about five feet four inches tall a bit of hair under a hat and a nose yeah it’s not much to go on when he goes on to say that the criminal had been caught and charged he made a joke about it probably be in the sketch that led to his arrest to be fair the more likely scenarios that the police officer or a witness drew that sketch it’s unlikely that a professional sketch artist was brought in to produce that uh work of art like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or this centipede will crawl on your face when you’re sleeping now it’s time for the odd topic we feel so sorry for the poor woman in this video if we were her we would be utterly humiliated but bless her she got back on her feet eventually and carried on this poor reporter was just trying to do her job and report on an nfl game when suddenly she got accidentally tackled as if she were one of the players they came crashing into her throwing her to the ground she could have been pretty badly hurt but from what we understand she came out of things okay as always comment down below with the hashtag oddtopic and let us know your opinion in relation to what we just showed on screen with that said let’s keep things moving number 14 singer miguel jumps on fans miguel got so caught up in his performance at the billboard music awards in 2013 that he did something so cringe-worthy my stomach starts nodding itself immediately he did what so many performers have done before him but failed to read the room and see if it was really one of those performances that’s right he attempted to crowdsurf toward the end of his song he leaps off the stage and over to a second stage area almost using the heads of the fans as stepping stones to get there [Applause] but rather than landing safely he lands over the top of two women causing their heads to snap back they were saved by a woman in the crowd who pulled them up before the savior accidentally took a position next to them they were saved by a woman in the crowd who pulled them up before the savior eventually took a position next to him his less than perfectly executed move didn’t go unnoticed it was broadcast all over news channels and the internet and that wasn’t the end of the cringe either in 2013 one woman said his fall into the performance area may have given her a head injury another woman sued him for medical bills and time off work two years later number 13 ryan seacrest falls backward off chair live with kelly and ryan is a chat show with kelly ripa and ryan seacrest as the hosts they discuss pop culture chat with guests enjoy musical appearances and more it’s basically like most chat shows you’ll ever see except that one episode went a little differently than most when announcing the 2020 travel trivia segment gold and silver balloons were floating through the air sitting on his host chair ryan attempted to lean back in his chair and grab a gold balloon as it turns out the chairs aren’t as stable as they look the chair fell over causing ryan to fall on the ground ungracefully [Applause] the good news is he caught the balloon he was helped up by his co-host and a member of the crew fortunately he was okay but he did have something to say about his fall after the show he posted on instagram that it was his first fumble of the new season and he hopes he makes it to the playoffs ryan seacrest is a pretty seasoned american tv presenter producer and co-host so it’s probably not his first or last embarrassing moment on tv let’s be fair number 12 tom holland’s chair breaks english actor tom holland is all class he started his acting career in the billy elliot musical and has gone on to star in some pretty incredible films like spider-man homecoming spider-man far from home and spider-man no way home he’s such a well-composed gentleman that even with some of the most embarrassing moments we could ever find ourselves facing he handles them with grace and humor during an interview at the new york film festival while sitting next to robert pattinson he leans down to put his drink bottle on the ground and his chair breaks and i don’t mean just a little bit it breaks in dramatic fashion with the rear frame component detaching from the rest of the chair rather than getting stressed and walking off he takes a bow grabs the mic and thanks the audience like it was all part of the act [Laughter] he then sits on the ground but in his good humor he acts hesitant as if he’s concerned his new chair will break he definitely handled this embarrassing moment in the best way possible number 11 lady gaga falls off stage you’ve got to give it to lady gaga she’s one hell of a performer so when she invited a fan onto the stage that resulted in her falling off the stage you can just imagine how seamlessly she managed to pull herself together it was like water off a duck’s back at the enigma las vegas residency show at mgm park theater in 2019 lady gaga invited a fan onto the stage who hugged her he then picked her up and she embraced the move by wrapping her legs around him he bounced her with his arms but seems to lose strength in his knees as he falls off the edge of the stage with lady gaga in his arms concert goers screamed in distress at what had just happened even though lady gaga has a musculoskeletal disorder known as fibromyalgia she gets back on stage like a champion she said everything was okay and that the only thing not okay is the lack of stairs to get back onto the stage in one final act of kindness she invited the distressed fan back onto the stage to tell him to forgive himself she invited him to sit next to her at the piano number 10 maria sharapova drops trophy it was all nerves tension and anticipation when maria sharapova played at the 2006 u.s open she had made it through to her first u.s open final with hard work and dedication before eventually taking out her second grand slam singles title it was a moment she and her fans would remember for the rest of her life but many of us remember it for a different reason when she took out the win she was handed her trophy which she promptly took and thrust into the air as it was her first win she may not have realized that the top of the trophy actually wasn’t attached as she bounced up into the air with it the lid fell to the ground with the crowd and commentators ringing out with the word fortunately maria is a good sport she laughs it off secures the lid back on the trophy and this time gently raises it into the air for her fans and supporters to see the u.s open trophy is made of a sheet of solid silver and takes over 100 hours to create the winner of the us open gets to keep a smaller replica of the trophy rather than the coveted us open trophy itself number nine the man who got the hanger out of his blazer meteorologists have an incredibly important job to do read the weather they let us know what to expect with as much accuracy as possible so we can plan our days appropriately but as seriously as they take their job that doesn’t mean they don’t know what humor is and sometimes if they’re put in an embarrassing situation live on air they have to use it as the only tool in their kit meteorologist steve frazier was chatting with his co-hosts in the lead up to the weather when he reached into his neck to pull something out he thought it was going to be a misplaced button or tag but it ended up being a coat hanger i i thought it was just the tight button but never mind his co-anchors were in stitches wondering how on earth he managed to put on his suit jacket with the hanger still inside later steve cleared everything up he went to the gym and noticed his suit was tight-fitting he couldn’t figure out why that might be and believes he might have put it on a little quickly even now i just don’t understand how that happens number eight a reporter scared of a crazy cockerel when you think of dangerous news reporting you imagine war zones high-speed car chases or hostage situations but now you might be thinking about bird shows one reporter who may or may not have known that he was terrified of birds was holding a large black rooster up to the camera to talk about it and the other birds he began his reporting by describing the rooster and saying it was one of 500 birds appearing at the bird show but clearly the rooster didn’t like being in the spotlight all that much he flapped his wings and attempted to escape the reporter clearly not impressed by the flapping of those big wings half dropped the rooster screamed and ran off screaming down the birdcage lined aisle [Music] the rooster owner had to step into the interview frame and collect the rooster unfortunately we never got to see how the reporter managed to salvage the rest of that segment i can’t imagine it would be that easy to do when you’ve just shown everyone you’re scared of big birds on live television number seven pope francis in a crowd if you ever felt bad about losing patience or feeling anything other than happy you can remind yourself it’s a normal human emotion even the pope feels those things sometimes when pope francis greeted pilgrims at a new year’s eve gathering at the vatican he walked slowly down the fenced-off area and shook the hands of children [Applause] [Music] even though some adults reached out their hands the pope was only interested in shaking the hands of the kids however one woman grabbed his hand quite roughly and pulled him toward her unable to free himself the pope slapped at her hand and yanked his hand free [Music] he then walked off with a scowl on his face the pope may not have realized that people were videoing but they were and the event went viral during his angelus address on new year’s day in saint peter’s square he apologized for his actions he said he was sorry for the bad example yesterday and that sometimes even he loses patience however one twitter user said what the pope did demonstrates one thing he is a man the pope said he condemned violence against women and stated that we can understand our level of humanity by how we treat a woman’s body number six mohammed anis thanks his wife and girlfriend when footballer mohammed anis had a post-match interview with south african tv channel super sport in 2017 he did something that would make most people raise their eyebrows he thanked both his wife and girlfriend for their support yet he denies being unfaithful the free state star striker was named the man of the match and was interviewed afterward in the interview he said i appreciate my fans also my wife and girlfriend i mean my wife sorry to say so sorry my wife i love you so much i’m so sorry my wife lizzy i love you so much i love you so much for my heart my first thought would be that he was newly married and was having a hard time wrapping his head around the new title but as it turns out they’ve been married for seven years in interviews after that very bizarre initial interview muhammad said he doesn’t have a girlfriend he said his family knows that he calls his daughter his girlfriend he then stated that’s what i was talking about i don’t have a girlfriend i love her so much she’s given me two beautiful children she’s fine she knows what kind of man i am so i’m not worried number five unusual crash [Music] crashing in motorsport is not unusual many motorcyclists experience high sides and low sides that see them unable to finish the race however most crashes are not like this one one rider crashes his bike and his motorcycle ends up taking out another rider on the track both riders are now off their bikes and the bikes end up linked on the edge of the track but rather than come to a complete stop as they look like they’re about to do they end up getting stuck together with the throttle pressed down into the tarmac they start spinning around together with neither rider being able to unstick the bikes from each other and get them safely off the track in the meantime the race continues in the background there’s a yellow flag being thrown by the marshals but all this means is that the riders must not pass each other and that there’s something potentially dangerous ahead that requires them to slow down eventually a marshal makes it to the bikes and they were able to get them off the track successfully that is definitely not something you see every day number four singer misses high note the last thing you want to do in front of tens of thousands of sports fans and on a live stream to hundreds of thousands more is mess up the national anthem that was the reality for an officer stationed at the selfridge air national guard base in macomb county mark kaufman senior master sergeant mark kaufman had been practicing and practicing the national anthem and had been recovering from an upper respiratory infection in most of his practice sessions he was nailing each part of the anthem with no problems at all but when it came to the real thing it didn’t go exactly perfectly on the final part of the anthem during his 4th of july performance his voice cracked [Music] [Applause] he was shocked the crowd was shocked the players were shocked everyone was shocked according to mark he said he was just as surprised by his missed note as everyone else he said he had no indication his vocal cords were going to fail like that considering his second to last note was strong he said it was like his vocal cords had told him he had practiced one too many times number three tennis player hits teammate it seems like yelina ostapenko a pro tennis player from latvia is making a name for herself and it’s not because she’s an incredible player with a bright future no it’s because she keeps hitting people with tennis balls you expect that from novice players having a friendly game on the weekend but potentially not from someone who ranks number 5 in singles and number 17 in doubles it all kicked off at the service stripe in wimbledon she won a point by hitting french pro tennis player elise cornay with a serve in this instance elise appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time everyone appeared to be in shock at the head but that wasn’t the end of it the following wednesday in the mixed doubles competition she set her sights on her own teammate swedish player robert lindstedt during their victory game over zhang shui and john pierce elena hit the ball and sent it flying into the head of robert the ball rebounded off his head and flew off the court she seemed shocked by what she had done but fortunately robert was okay number two dancer falls on face live to dance was an american tv reality program and dance competition based on got to dance a british series [Music] it was presented by andrew gunsberg with paul abdul kimberly wyatt and travis payne as the judges and aired in 2011. most auditions went off without a hitch but there’s one that most people will remember even if they didn’t actively watch the show while attempting a mid-air turn the unidentified contestant fell on her head after the incident the contestant didn’t appear to know exactly what had happened or what she did after her performance she said to paula abdul that she thinks she slammed her head that is definitely accurate because she’s sporting a massive egg on her head that seems to grow almost immediately paula responds to her saying i think you did sweetheart you okay the dancer touched her forehead and said she was fine and that she can’t even feel it right now trust me you will later paula says the host then comes onto the stage to tell the dancer that medics would like to see her number 1 unjin wardrobe malfunction unjin is a south korean singer and rapper and former member of the girl group dia she’s popular throughout the world and performs to crowds of thousands most of the time these performances go off without a hitch but not all the time in 2017 unjin had a pretty major wardrobe malfunction on stage but she handled it like a pro while attending a festival in yancheon she performed one of dia’s latest songs at the time will you go out with me halfway through the song her bra started to slide down her shirt most people in the crowd wouldn’t have noticed it but many definitely did the quite obviously strapless bra was now sitting around her belly button region making it look like she had breasts in quite an unusual place even though it was probably quite uncomfortable for unjean she didn’t even act like it bothered her she finished her performance flawlessly i’m gonna take a stab in the dark here and say that the next time she does her performance where she has to do a lot of moving around and jumping she’ll be making sure her undergarments are firmly in place some of these made me go red and they didn’t even happen to me which one made you cringe the most and do you have any truly embarrassing moments you’d like to share with us in the comments we can all share in your embarrassment also check out our other cool stuff showing up on
