Top 10 Crazy Fireworks Fails - Best of WatchMojo

In what we can only assume is a fraternity pledge stunt, a dude wearing nothing but briefs, a sombrero and a target on his stomach must stand in the vicinity of a firework as it explodes. Dude must be smart because he tries to back away, but when the fireworklets off a weak spark he must think “oh this isn’t so bad!” and gets closer. Then boom goes the dynamite. We can’t wait to see what episodes 4, 5 and 6 have in store.

#9: Bottle Rocket Shot from Butt

Top 10 Amazing Real Life Message in a Bottle Stories

For whatever reason, if you do a web search for “fireworks in butt,” there are A LOT of results. Take this guy for example. Or how about this exhibitionist? We blame “Jackass.” But then there’s this fellow, who we’ll call “Ugly Shirt Guy” for the purposes of this video. Ugly Shirt Guy drops trou’, his buddies balance a bottle rocket between his cheeks, and they light ‘er up. With his “friend” making sure to hold him down lest he jump up in pain and drop the firework, Ugly Shirt Guy takes his medicine, and finishes the challenge with a scorched skidmark lining his buttcrack.

Nothing rings in the New Year quite like fireworks. Or a trip to the emergency room. This “professional Texan” – whatever that means – is setting up some mortars in the road when a domino effect of an explosion kicks off, which we assume resulted in some pissed off neighbors. Fireworks? $300. Fine for setting your neighbor’s lawn on fire and triggering car alarms? $2,000. Story to tell your grandchildren? Priceless.

#7: Fireworks in Crotch Fail

Top 5 Things You Didn't Know About Fireworks

Remember what we said about web searches for “Fireworks in butt”? “Fireworks in crotch” works too. A group of guys lets the campfire shenanigans – and, we’re assuming booze – get to their heads when they plan to stick a firework in Scotty’s… well, we’ll say crotch. The next step up from lighting your farts on fire, there’s a lot of buildup as the firework burns down. But finally it detonates in an explosion of sparks that rains down in Scotty’s lap, and sends him running into the forest. This one brings new meaning to the term “crotch shot.”

We’re thinking 10 out of 10 dentists would not recommend this stunt. It’s the Fourth of July, and you’re trying to up your celebratory game. What do you do? Bite down on a firework and let the sparks fly. Literally. Into your face. Actually, let’s watch that one again. You know, for SCIENCE. Don’t worry, the guy seems (relatively) fine at the end. That, or the alcohol has numbed him to the pain.

#5: Bootleg Fireworks Fail

A bunch of neighbors pooled their money together and bought a bunch of bootleg fireworks. Based on the topic of this video, you know that something goes wrong. In this case, everything seems to explode at once, on the ground. That seems pretty par for the course, actually. But for us, the key to this video is the commentary, so we’re just going to shut up and let you listen to the magic. The street may look like a battlefield, and stuff might be on fire, but this dude still thinks that was awesome.

Plumbers are expensive. We get it. But do it yourself experiments may end up costing you even more in the long run. Case in point: if your toilet is mega clogged and a plunger didn’t do the job, shoving an explosive down the drain does not seem like the next best step. What’s the best-case scenario for this trick anyway? Oh shit is right. But how impressive is it that the seat stays completely intact? We still don’t think you’re getting your safety deposit back though, boys.

The Harlem Shake meme: making people look like fools since 2013. As best we can guess, the premise this group was going for was: let’s all stand around, in front of or on a car in a garage, light a firework next to a gas can and see what happens. Most of the people bail when the fire starts, but guy in front of car can’t see it and therefore gets the worst of it when the thing finally [explosion, scream]… does that. The rest of the video involves an out-of-control fire, no firefighting equipment whatsoever and an abrupt ending that leaves us wondering how much of this house was still standing the next day.

We should preface this one by saying: no one was hurt by this fireworks fail. But if you were ever in the military, you might’ve needed a trigger warning, because this one looks like the enemy is trying to bomb you to oblivion. All it really was, however, was an entire evening’s worth of fireworks going off at once. Well, at least it looks cool. The spectators definitely got their money’s worth. Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions: - Backyard Fireworks Show Goes Badly - Fireworks Explode In Neighborhood - Fireworks Lighting Fail in Trailer - 7000 fireworks go off at once - Firework Pan Explosion Puts Hole in Ceiling

Skyrockets in flight; Afternoon Delight. Or rather Afternoon Nightmare. This Italian fireworks show ended up running a little shorter than usual when every single firework they had set up for the evening’s festivities went up at once. But the reason this one is number one? It’s daytime. Seriously, you had ONE job, and that one job is: light the fireworks when it gets dark. Instead, we get a terrifying warzone that spectators are fleeing like their lives depend on it. Actually, they just might. Run away!
