Ice Bucket Challenge Fails

It's been going for a couple of weeks now and this latest Internet fad is starting to wear thin with a lot of us. Just about everyone on earth (especially celebrities) have done the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge involving dumping a bucket of icy water on your head and challenging three more people to do the same within 24 hours and or donating money to alsa.org.

The wave of Ice Bucket Challenge fails is cresting now. There are many ways to do this wrong. Here are my favorites.

When your assistant dumps it on himself. That laugh is priceless.

"I'm having to use a regular cup, because my head is big." What? Is this guy for real? No sir. A cup doesn't cut it.

What are you thinking putting a small child in charge of a large metal bucket precariously perched on a porch rail?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with everyone doing these videos. Raising money and awareness is important. ALS is a brutal disease and we should do what we can to alleviate the pain it causes.

Leave me a comment with a link to your favorite Ice Bucket Fail.
