15 Epic Fails We Can't Stop Laughing At

Some might say that self-deprecating humor is an art form, and personally, I would agree. You have to tiptoe a fine line when making fun of yourself and take several factors into consideration.

When sharing self-deprecating humor with the Internet, you want to be cautious not to lie, but exaggerating doesn't hurt. You also want to ensure that people are laughing at you and with you, rather than feeling sorry for you or pitying you.

Most importantly, though, you want to make sure that the person laughing the most is yourself. Whether it's a coping mechanism or simply how you experience the world, self-deprecating humor certainly has its place alongside the staples of meme culture and comedy.

Surely, there have been times in your life when you made a mistake, grand or minor, and thought, "You know who would really enjoy this? Everyone who follows me on Twitter." Chances are, you were delighted to realize you were correct, and everyone got a kick out of your epic fail.

The real question after that is: has your epic fail ever made it into a compilation and been shared with millions of comedy and meme enthusiasts all over the world? If not, there's always tomorrow.

So don't stop sharing your epic fails with the Internet. You'll be in good company with folks such as these:

Not every day can be perfect; you're bound to make mistakes as you go. The least you can do is have a chuckle about it.

Of course, if you're just a third party to someone else's moment of devastating, hilarious failure, you also have an obligation to record and share those moments, too. How else would we experience moments of tear-inducing laughter?

Sometimes, you just need to laugh at epic fails.
