30 of the Funniest Mishaps During a Presentation

Public speaking is still one of the top fears people have, so your heart really goes out to someone who royally beefs it during a presentation. That empathy doesn’t keep you from laughing, but we at least all understand how painful it can be. One Redditor recalled the time their friend had to give an oral book report on Dandelion Wine and stumbled over his words so badly that he laughed maniacally, before letting out an “OH GODDDDD!!!” and punching the chalkboard. Everyone in that classroom probably still remembers that presentation — and not because of the plot of Dandelion Wine. 

Other Redditors have cited the most mortifying presentation mishaps they’ve witnessed, and it’s probably a good idea to Google the pronunciation of certain words before saying them aloud.
