- [Announcer] So you might not
understand quantum physics. You might not grasp
the complex intricacies of political history. And maybe you don't know
how to use an Oxford comma. But none of that matters,
because coming up, I've got some of the most
terminally stupid people in the world, whose unintelligent antics are sure to make you
feel a whole lot smarter. From DIY disasters, and
culinary catastrophes, to not-so cunning criminals,
and cosmetic mishaps. Stay tuned because this is People Doing Stupid Things - Part 3. (bright music) - Whoa!
(bell dings) - [Announcer] There are many reasons why a person might turn to
crime, though oftentimes, it's due to a severe
deficiency of brain cells. Thanks to this terminal stupidity, criminals far and wide
often find themselves in hilarious stick situations. Case in point, one burglar in Maryland attempted
to do the old Saint Nick by breaking in via the chimney. His grand heist was thwarted when the fire brigade had to excavate the coal covered criminal
from the chimney, after he became thoroughly stuck. Dumb burglar zero, instant karma one. Elsewhere in Liverpool, England in 2023, another dimwitted delinquent, otherwise known as Etmond
Lika, was wanted by police for possession and distribution
of a controlled substance. As the cops raided his house, Etmond had, what seemed to him, the genius idea to hide on the roof. And sure, this evaded one police officer, though his roof rambling
ways were no match for the police helicopter when it captured this hilarious mugshot. As a result, Etmond was ultimately jailed for two years and four months. But the wonderful captured
moment will last forever. Now everyone knows that
rule number one of crime is to always cover your tracks. It's like the first thing they
teach you in criminal school. Still, when this criminal
dumped tons of his trash in the countryside of
Cambridgeshire in the UK, he foolishly left some of his mail, complete with his
address amongst the junk. With the litterbug easily located, he was rightfully fined a hefty 300 bucks. But if that sounds a lot, just consider that this
next airhead was responsible for damages worth $42,000 when she visited an art
exhibition in Miami. Having come across one of Jeff Koons' iconic balloon dog sculptures
made from porcelain, the bemused woman audaciously
prodded at the priceless work to determine whether it
was a real balloon or not. And considering that real balloons don't typically smash into
smithereens like this, it's safe to say that the
woman certainly got her answer. Now, growing up, my mom always said, "You break it, you bought it." Though incredibly, this
bozo got away scot-free. On the plus side, this seems
like the perfect opportunity for the Japanese art of Kintsugi, AKA the concept of
repairing broken pottery by joining the pieces
with a gold dusted lacquer to make the original thing more beautiful and unique than before. Sadly though, no amount
of gold can fix stupid. Just ask the businessman
who spent $240,000 on a solid gold shirt. Does that seem like a
savvy investment to you? Now let's move on to some
folks whose dumb decisions got them into some very
dirty situations indeed. Now, allow me to paint you a picture. Back in 2017, Liam Smith
brought home a date who, for reasons that'll soon become clear, will remain anonymous. For the sake of simplicity,
we'll call her Debbie. As the pair chatted over
a romantic bottle of wine, Debbie excused herself
to go powder her nose, or in not so polite terms, take a big old. (fart tooting)
(record scratching) Now here's where things
took an extreme turn. The smooth criminal dropped a deuce, but to her horror, the
toilet wouldn't flush. Panicked, Debbie quite
literally took fecal matters into her own hands as she hurled the turd through the window. But this, I'm afraid,
isn't even the half of it. You see, Liam's house
is pretty unconventional in the sense that the bathroom window consists of two windows
with a big gap in between. Meaning that when Debbie
yeeted her back door brownie, it got stuck down in the
gap between the two windows. Now, I'd just like to clarify
that this was a first date. So you can imagine Liam's
shock when his date returned from the little girl's
room bearing the news that her captain's log was trapped between his bathroom windows. Nevertheless, Liam ventured
forth into the bathroom, and upon seeing how deeply wedged the smelly intruder had gotten, he suggested they smashed
the window to retrieve it. However, having done amateur gymnastics, Debbie assured him that she
could shimmy her way down and retrieve her droppings. Only in doing so, she became too stuck, and after a lot of struggling, eventually had to be
hoisted out by firemen. "This was fun. We should
do this again sometime," said neither of them. Now, while Debbie was bold enough to drop her logs on a first date, Irish teen Cara Clarke was extremely shy of even farting in front of
her boyfriend of two years. So much so she foolishly
bottled up her butt burps to the point of giving
herself appendicitis, which can sometimes be triggered by long lasting bodily
blockages of this kind. Having suffered the painful
consequences of her stupidity, Cara has now vowed to always let it rip, which is not exactly great
news for those around her. Now, as a Taco Bell connoisseur, I can assure you that I've clogged a fair few toilets in my time. Now, typically I'll whip
out my trusty plunger, but Texas woman Gracie Henderson
wasn't fortunate enough to have one on hand when she needed one. So as any Texan would,
she used her bare hand to try unblocking the toilet. Home alone, Gracie
intended her turd twiddling to be brief and confidential, but having forgotten
to take off her watch, her hand became stuck. A prisoner to the toilet,
Gross Gracie was left no option but to call in the fire brigade. Though when they had to
remove the whole system and escort Gracie and
her toilet into the yard in order to free her, things only became all
the more humiliating. Still, I guess the toilet's
unclogged now, right? And for that matter, while we're
still on the riveting topic of bogged up poop shoots,
using a compressed air cannon isn't an advisable toilet
unclogging instrument either, as I'm sure you'll agree
after seeing this next clip. (air whooshes)
(cam holder laughs) - [Friend] Ew!
(cam holder laughing) - [Announcer] I mean, I think it worked, perhaps a little too well. Though the use of a flimsy
towel as a poop guard is inadvisable. But as the old saying goes, play stupid games, wins stupid prizes. Moving on to something
a little less filthy. These days, makeup and
cosmetics are a great way for people to express themselves, though when in the wrong hands, stupid people's hands that is, cosmetics can quickly become disastrous, not least hazardous. Take, for example, TikToker Muawk, who wanted to incorporate
vampire fangs into a makeup look, but actually stuck them to
her teeth with nail glue. - Okay. (panting) Okay. Oh my God. - [Announcer] Panicking upon realizing they wouldn't come off, because you know, she used freaking glue, she
posted a follow-up video explaining how she doesn't even have dental or health insurance. It seemed like she would be forever stuck with these comical canines. However, just a few hours later after chowing down on some cereal, the teeth miraculously fell out. Now, she may have gotten lucky this time, but it's only a matter of time before she does something ill-advised that's actually permanent, like, I dunno, getting a face tattoo. Oh wait, nevermind. Speaking of which, mirror,
mirror on the wall, who has the worst face tattoo of them all? Well, that I'm afraid
goes to this next woman, who made the fatal error of
having her boyfriend's name tattooed on her forehead. After they broke up, she was
now ready to cover up the tat and put her ex, Derrick, in
the past once and for all. Having presumably learned her lesson about relationship tattoos. Well, not so much. Demonstrating her extraordinary
levels of stupidity, she made the inconceivable choice to cover up her ex's name
with her new love, Timothy. And should her new relationship fail? Well, she's left with two options, either get it covered up
again, or only date Timothys. The only redeeming factor of the tattoo, if any at all, is that it's
at least spelled correctly. The same unfortunately cannot
be said for this next one. After going in for a tattoo
of the word "Scorpio," as in her zodiac sign,
TikToker Kaiya McCann was left with an embarrassing typo, as the tattoo actually read "Scoripio." Now, you might be quick to
assume that this was a blunder of some pea brained tattoo artist, however, I wouldn't be so sure. After all, numerous times on
her TikTok prior to the tattoo, Kaiya misspelled Scorpio as Scoripo. Seems likely to me that it
was in fact she who misspelled the word when requesting
it to the tattoo artist. Still, that is neither
confirmed nor denied. Either way, according to lovetoknow.com, Scorpios are the unluckiest zodiac sign due to being ruled by Pluto,
a representation of tragedy, and a tragedy this certainly is. Now, something that rarely goes
well is a self done haircut. It's always best to go to a professional, but if you're still not convinced, then just use this next
clip as a cautionary tale. Courtesy of TikToker emilywev, the video shows her attempting
to give herself bangs, though what ensued might only be described as the mother of all bad hair days. (quirky music) Safe to assume, Nick Carter
from the Backstreet Boys wasn't the look Emily had in
mind, though that unfortunately was the consequence of her stupidity. Hair fails are a plentiful
crop of the internet. And elsewhere on TikTok, user Roni also attempted
to cut herself some bangs, with somehow even less success
than the previous clip. Check it out. (quirky music) Yikes. I'd invest in a hat or a
paper bag if I were her. Not only did she gather
too few strands of hair, but she was pulling her curly hair taut and didn't compensate
for the loss of length when it bounced back into place. It reminds me of Courtney
Cox's bangs from "Scream," but impressively worse. Moving on, one of the saddest
things about growing up is that they don't make toys for adults. Uh, well, (panting) you know what I mean. Still, some adults have
foolishly tried their luck at squeezing themselves
into child-sized toys, only to wind up stuck. Take, for example, this girl who got jammed in this
playground equipment. It's unclear why or how
she exactly got there, though it looks like Ozzy Osborne is doing a really great
job at rescuing her. - I'm stuck. I'm stuck. - [Announcer] Similarly,
this guy also tried his luck in the same kind of
playground grownup trap. Would you believe it? To the same effect. These things are like mouse
traps, but for idiots. Likewise, one girl had to be
rescued by the fire brigade after attempting to slam dunk herself through a basketball hoop. It seems like she forgot
the nets get narrower towards the bottom. Hey, two points regardless. Our journey of ill-fitting
tomfoolery doesn't stop there. In fact, two brainless
women's dumb decisions led to them being caught up in a Macey's children's grocery cart. Terminally sandwiched in there, they're now left to wander
the earth like Siamese crabs, pathetically scuttling their
legs to propel their wheels. Sadly, though, this fatal condition affects dumb people all around the world, as can be seen here
when this drunken rascal from Yorkshire, England
also stumbled his way into a child's car. - I know how to do it, I know
how to do it, right? Right? (friends laughing) You grab me from behind. - Tell it.
- My God, it's no good this, is it? Now you come round. - Right.
- And I reckon if they pull it from the front, - [Friend] One second. Go on, one sec.
- It's not quite right. - [Friend] Can you get your arm? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - [Friend] I'd help but
I can't stop laughing. - No, take my arms.
- Doesn't matter. - No, one second, right.
- Mum, it's nearly straight. - Just grab my arms.
- Grab his arms. - Steady.
- Well- - [Stuck Person] And you
pull it from under me. (toy car clatters)
(friends laughing) - Jesus Christ.
- Move your legs. - [Announcer] And this, kids, is why you should never drink and drive. Truth be told though,
we all do stupid things when we've had a few Shirley Temples. Though I must say, despite my
many, many drunken disasters, this next one beats 'em all. Back in 2022, Lindsay Clark and pals were enjoying a boozy bottomless brunch in North Shields, England, when one of their jackets
fell behind the booth. It was then that Lindsay
made the fatal error of attempting to retrieve the jacket, and this is what ensued. (people clamoring) (people cheering and clapping) - [Friend] Did you get the jacket? - Nah, (indistinct). (friends cheering) - [Announcer] Talk
about bottoms up, right? It's times like these, you really are grateful for phone cameras. That said, I certainly wasn't
grateful for phone cameras at last year's work Christmas party. Yikes. Let's not pull on that thread. Moving on though, it takes
a special kind of stupid to lock yourself in a
dog crate by accident. Unbelievably, this genuinely happened to a California couple. Stephanie Ferrari and her husband Jared. The pair were filming a video
for Stephanie's TikTok account where she shares dog training tips. But as you'll soon see, what was captured on their
home security cameras certainly isn't a dog care technique you should aim to repeat. (dog barks) - Good boy.
(cage door thuds) Go. Good boy.
(cage door thuds) Come on, baby. (cage door thuds) (screams) I can't get out.
- Can you get out? - [Stephanie] (indistinct). I can't get out. (laughs) (dog barking)
(Stephanie laughing) And the dog is going crazy. Oh my God. (screaming) (indistinct). Oh my God! - [Richard] Is it recording right now? - No, I'm not recording. - [Richard] (indistinct). - Yeah, I know. Okay, okay, I know, I know. I'm sorry. Oh my God, why didn't we think of that? Hey, I know. - [Announcer] All I can
say is that if two people are both dumb enough to
hop inside dog crates that don't open from the inside, then they're clearly made for each other. But while Stephanie and her husband weren't exactly fans of
being in the dog house, one Japanese man's life goal is to in fact become a dog himself. So much so, he spent a staggering $14,000 on a hyperrealistic dog suit, which he now strolls around the park in. And while at a glance he
may look like a real dog, I can't help but feel like spending that obscene amount of money to be able to crawl around the park, trying to convince folks your
dog is all a little creepy. Onto the culinary world now. And cooking, granted, isn't for everyone. That said, there are
some numbskulls out there who can't even cook
the simplest of dishes. For example, frozen pizza. You take it outta the box
and put it in the oven. What could be simpler? One guy even screwed that
up after cooking his pizza on a plastic chopping board. Why? Well, his little noggin
thought that this would be an effective way to catch
any cheese that melts off. Might I suggest, oh, I
don't know, a pizza tray? In a similar catastrophic food fail, one family opted for a
more exotic evening meal when they decided to cook eels. However, clearly not having
the culinary prowess to boot, they failed to realize that eels must be un-alived before cooking. Safe to say, they well and
truly cooked up a storm. (pan crackling)
(people clamoring) - [Announcer] Yikes. I mean, does the five second rule apply when your food is still alive? Or anyway, if eel isn't
wetting your appetite, man, I wouldn't blame you, then how about a nice big pot of yogurt? Oh, wait, no, I mean, paint. Yep, when Alex Stein visited
her 90-year-old granddad Bobby, she discovered that he had
consumed half a liter of paint having mistaken it for yogurt. I mean, I think after one spoonful, I might've realized I was eating paint, nevermind half a liter,
but hey, that's just me. Even so, Alex confirmed that her granddad was actually completely fine, despite having fluorescent
mint green lips. All in all, a tasty
meal and a stylish look. Now, Coke and Mentos is perhaps one of the oldest party
tricks in the book. Trust me, I've been pranked
enough times to know. Even still, one online dolt
willingly plopped some Mentos into a bottle of Coke and
attempted to drink it. The reasoning behind this choice remains something of a mystery, though I can tell you it went about as well as you can imagine. - Right here. We going to open that. How many are you supposed to
put in there? I don't know. So we gonna put two in
there. How about that? All right, then. Oh, listen, here we go. You
ready for this right here? Okay, we're gonna put three. Okay, I don't know what to do here. (Coke gurgling) (person gagging) (Coke fizzling) - That's some serious (duck quacks). - [Announcer] That's the face of a man who hopefully just
learned a valuable lesson. As Mentos react with Coke, carbon dioxide molecules
attach to the candies, and bubbles form in huge quantities which float up rapidly to
blast their way into the face of anyone dumb enough
to stand in their way. A very practical science lesson indeed. Boy, we've seen some pretty
stupid people so far, huh? But you know what's even stupider? If you're not already
subscribed to Be Amazed. Now, I'm a forgiving man, so I'll give you a moment to fix that. And while you're at it, why
not like and comment too? Hey, cool. Now let's get back to more
mind-blowingly dumb people. When it comes to the ladies, trust me, I know what I'm doing. Slow and steady. So slow in fact, that the
dates never happen at all. Genius, right? See, the last thing
you wanna do is rush in like Alisa Thomas and Terrance Green did. Or as I call them, Dumb and Dumber. The pair met on a popular
dating app, Hinge, and fell madly in love. Only problem being Alisa lived in Canada and Terrance in Michigan. Their cyber romance
blossomed for a few weeks, and eventually Alisa visited
Terrance in Michigan. Now, it was around this time that Terrance made the stupid and strange decision to tattoo Alisa's name on his neck. You know, the girl he'd just met. But for Terrance, that didn't matter as he knew Alisa was the one. So much so that in fact,
within a matter of weeks, he had moved his entire life to Canada. And while I'd like to tell you that they lived happily ever
after, after just 13 days, Theresa, AKA Terrance
and Alisa, were no more. They broke up after Terrance found himself unable to get along with Alisa's friends. But hey, at least Terrance
has Alisa tattooed on his neck so he can remember her forever
and ever and ever and ever. But move on, we must and here we have yet another Michigan
resident demonstrating a remarkable degree of
stupidity when he decided to charge at a wasps'
nest with a hockey stick. (hockey stick clangs) - [Cam Handler] Oop! - [Announcer] He shoots, he scores. Though what the video
doesn't show you is the part where an angry swarm of
wasps chase after him. Yep, according to Staci Huntley, the man's fiance who captured the moment, she had to stop recording
as they fled into the house to escape the vengeful wasps. Sadly, all we gotta peek at
was the initial butt sting before the footage cut off. But the sense of impending doom off camera is still pretty hilarious. From one der-brain to another,
this next guy was attempting to knock down huge icicles
suspended from his roof. But for reasons you'll see, it seems he didn't quite
think it through properly. (ice clattering) (ice bangs) I mean, for what it's
worth, that roof looked like it was hanging on by a breadstick, so it was only a matter of time. Still, I don't think the guy's intention was to decapitate it. So for that, he has certainly
earned his place here in my stupid people encyclopedia. These days, it can be
difficult to be street smart. Though here are the basics
that everyone knows. Don't walk alone in sketchy
parts of town after dark, don't run aggressively towards
large, intimidating gangs, and certainly, don't buy a
dog from a mysterious stranger in the middle of the night. Still, one airhead from
Kenya did just that. Though the decision, as you can imagine, proved regrettable when it turned out the dog wasn't a German shepherd puppy as he'd been led to believe,
but a literal hyena. He only realized his
mistake later the next day when his new pet began acting dangerously. And the police, in turn,
confiscated the animal. And after what the hyenas did to Scar, I don't think I'd want
one as a pet either. Speaking of individuals
reaching the end of the road, visiting the cemetery isn't
exactly anyone's idea of fun. Though put yourself in Sylvia Ross's shoes and imagine being told that
the grave of your late father that you've been visiting
for the past 43 years is actually the grave
of a complete stranger called Frederick Brown. This reality came to light
after an internal investigation of records at the cemetery
in Northeast England discovered that the grave had been labeled with the wrong person's
plaque for all those years. Yep, thanks to some
outrageous incompetency, this gravestone mix-up
meant Sylvia and her family had been paying their respects in completely the wrong place for decades. On the bright side, I bet
the ghost of the fellow who's actually buried
there has been feeling a lot of love all this time. Moving on, we all face
technical difficulties at some point or another
though one group of people who are especially allergic
to technology is old people. And that said, their lack
of technological fluency can make for some great entertainment. Case in point, when Twitter
user Chris Arnold's dad attempted online shopping
for reading glasses. He ironically misread the quantity and wound up with 60 pairs of glasses. With a blunder like that, perhaps he did need all
those glasses after all. In another OAP computer faux pas, this Italian priest endearingly attempted to livestream a mast during lockdown. Though as you'll soon see,
there were, shall we say, a few wardrobe malfunctions. (priest speaks in foreign language) - [Announcer] I mean,
it was a valiant effort. Even if space age headgear and fedoras activated via accidental
video filter usage aren't part of the traditional regalia. Nevertheless, being
divinely in touch with God and technology is a lot
to ask of one person. In a similar webcam catastrophe, one individual's work from
home regime more lack thereof, was fully exposed to their
entire team after making the rookie error of
sharing the webcam feed instead of just the audio. Besides the FBI watching your every move, this is why you should
always tape over your webcam. If you tuned into the previous
episode of this series, you might recall a little
segment I introduced called DIY News. A newscast dedicated to
the DIY fails carried out by the dimwits of our world. Well, backed by popular demand, here's episode two of DIY news. (graphics whoosh)
(pensive music) Welcome back to DIY News. In today's headlines, local Idiotsville teen, Parker Pannell, and his girlfriend became shipwrecked after a failed DIY date. Using an inflatable pool,
blankets, snacks, and a MacBook, the pair attempted to
create a floating cinema. And while it may have worked
in Parker's home pool, it didn't do so well in the ocean. Here's footage from the scene. - [Lover] Oh my God, Parker.
Oh my God, oh my God! (screams) (water sloshing) - [Parker] Crazy! - [Lover] Oh my God! - [Parker] Oh my God! - [Announcer] Fortunately,
both Parker and his girlfriend are fine, though their laptop remains in intensive care at the Apple Genius Bar. My tech support team are
also now advising me to state that as ingenious as combining
water and electricity might seem, like in the
case of these guys running an outlet extension cable into a pool, it might not be the smartest
choice due to the risk of something experts are referring to as zappy, zappy, ouchie, ouchie. More on this as it develops. (pensive music) Breaking news, I am just being made aware of an ongoing incident
outside a local store. We're now live at the scene and it appears that a local man has painted
himself into a corner. Landlocked by wet paint,
eyewitnesses claim he has been stranded
there since this morning. Authorities have cordoned off the scene to prevent any further casualties and a rescue squad has been deployed. Though first responders
claim nothing can be done while the paint remains wet. We will leave a correspondent at the scene to watch as the paint
dries, updates to follow. Now is your home one of
the many in Idiotsville affected by completely ineffective
toilet outlet disorder? Well, new evidence shows that
similar to light switches, outlets must be fitted
to walls and connected to the main electrical
source and not toilet seats in order to actually be effective. This will undoubtedly prove life-changing for Idiotsville residents
who for years up to now have been stumped by this. More head scratching home
improvement moments now as shared online by Idiotsville residents. First up, we have one DIYer who attempted to fit their own baseboard. Evidently not having the carpenters touch, they conjured up a Jenga like
configuration of offcut wood. I mean, if you squint, it
kind of looks less dreadful. Coming in next one, DIYer was confused as to why his door wouldn't close. It soon became apparent that he had fitted the
door handles the wrong way. Happens to the best of us. But speaking of disastrous DIY doors, check out this makeshift
car door lock made from a chain and padlock. A perfect example of
if it works, it works. Paint job be damned. Moving on, another DIY was so hard at work that he unwittingly got
his ladder tangled up in the wood he was assembling. Just so many questions. Perhaps next time, he could use the same
method as these two stooges. Perfectly safe, right? And finally, take a look
at this picture captured in an Idiotsville public restroom. What's more concerning is that I would assume this was
done by a professional, one whom clearly interpreted the term public restroom quite literally. At this level of exposure, what's the point of even
bothering with doors? Either way, that ladies
and gents is all from me and the team here at DIY News. Goodnight. So that brings our journey through this stupid verse to an end. Let me know down in the comments what's the stupidest
thing you've ever done. And hey, it might even
feature in the next episode. For now, Be Amazed, over and out. (pensive music)
