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.

arsyy 12y ago Guy in my class was giving a presentation and there was a video playing. It was some boring presentation about transistors, but half way through it there suddenly popped up a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger posing nude with his hips pushed outwards and his penis was censored by a machine gun. The guy had no idea what was going on. Also at the end of the presentation there was a Samurai who stabbed himself repeatedly in the stomach. That was one hell of a presentation. 1.2K Share ...
kmack 12y ago I was in a car accident on the way to giving a presentation in class. I felt good enough to decline an ambulance ride and I didn't want to deal with rescheduling the presentation, but my head didn't feel quite right. Fast forward an hour, I'm in the middle of my speech in front of the class when I start leaking brain juice out of my nose. It literally filled my cupped hands with clear fluid and I just stood there not knowing what to do before stammering I had an accident. I'll never forget the looks
