The 18 best stories of groomsmen behaving even worse than expected.

The idea of the best man or groomsman behaving like a jackass at a wedding is a total cliché, but one that is based in truth. A groomsman (a.k.a. not the best man) ruining his supposed best friend's wedding is one of those awful traditions nobody wants but still happens, like smashing cake in the bride's face, or an unwise post-reception hookup. Here are some great stories about the worst best men Reddit users have ever encountered.

"LOL we're in a tiny caaaaaar!" *pukes*

1. OldAndSlow remembers a groomsmen who found the one time that isn’t good for pizza.

One of the groomsmen had a pizza delivered during the ceremony. The pizza guy walked up the center aisle, called out the groomsman's name. The groomsman paid for the pizza and placed it on the ground next to him. All in complete silence. Nobody laughed. Nobody moved. The minister just did this laser-death-stare at the pizza guy and then at the groomsmen. After the pizza guy left, there was a long moment of more silence. And then the minister continued from where he left off. It was extremely awkward for everyone.


2. Neg9’s father once attended a wedding where the best man didn’t do the lame “I forgot the ring” gag, but he did forget the bride’s name.

My dad was the best man at this one wedding. During the reception, when he was about to give a speech, he forgot the bride's name. He spent a good ten seconds hastily whispering to himself random names of girls that could possibly be the wife. Since he was holding the mic, everyone in the room could hear it. To others, it sounded like a long list of the groom's past girlfriends.


3. codymcn went to a wedding where the best man got the job done…eventually.

One time the best man forgot the ring, and when the officiant asked for the ring he was just like "Yeah I forgot it", but to their credit they all took it like champs and moved right along and right after the ceremony - before the reception he hopped in his car, booked it back to the hotel, grabbed the ring, and came right back with it.


4. This best man so thoroughly embarrassed himself, he deleted his Reddit account.

I was the best man at my brothers wedding. I got so nervous during my speech, the only thing I could manage to get out was " dude your married." I really hope no one remembers that one.


5. CrossFox42 got to witness the least funny, least clever thing of all time.

The best man's speech was “Never Gonna Give You Up” in soft spoken word.


6. The husband of aveganliterary should’ve been more specific with the DJ.

My husband was a groomsman for one of his best friends a few years back. They used to go around late at night with a boom box playing "Lollipop" (1950s girl-group song) while causing harmless mischief (rearranging lawn ornaments and so forth). So at the wedding reception my husband sneaks over to the DJ and requests the song to surprise his friend. He even makes sure to ask the DJ if he has that specific song so the friend will get the joke. DJ assures him he has it. Night starts winding down and no song, we assume he forgot, oh well. Then out of nowhere the DJ comes on with "And now a special request for the groom" and plays a rap song about blow jobs (mind you, the groom is really not into rap). The bride looks horrified and we're trying to figure out what the hell is going on and then I catch a lyric or two and realize the moron DJ is playing the Lil' Wayne song "Lollipop" instead of the one my husband asked for.


7. brewbaron had a best man who did not understand the importance of timing.

And 2 mins after I was married, my best man (who'd been to my school reunion the night before) mentioned that the hottest girl in high school had inquired whether I was single or not...


8. McSippy saw a best man who got all his best jokes from Wayne’s World.

Best man goes up, and says "Ok my speech is going to be interactive, every time I pause I need you to say 'That's what she said'" He then proceeded to make the most awkward speech of all time. People stopped participating after the first one. Best part was the bride got up and stopped him by yelling at him. He left like 15 minutes after that.


9. mushperv’s story is a solid argument for getting married at the Justice of the Peace.

The best man got in three fights/arguments before the reception was over. First, before the wedding started, he got into an argument and shoving match with his father. Second, at the reception, he started yelling at the bride, calling her a "bitch" and a "whore.” Then about ten minutes later, the groom found out about what was said to the bride and attacked him, sucker punching him and starting a real brewhaha.


10. JaimeLannister10’s story is a solid argument for avoiding the Justice of the Peace.

Best man (20-something) was making out with the Justice of the Peace (she was at least in her 50s, maybe 60s). This was bad enough as is, but the fun really began when the justice's husband came into the reception hall and got a little ticked off. Shoes were thrown and the best man was chased away by the old man.


11. All thing’s must pass (out), even this guy in the wedding that noodle-face saw.

Father-in-law was in the wedding, so he was standing with the groomsmen. He's a big jokester, so when we saw him walking backwards really fast we figured it was some joke. Then he fell and smashed his head. Oh shit he's passed out. Had to call an ambulance and everything. Turns out he locked his knees, that in combination with the August heat made him pass out.


12. And that’s how flasfyr3 got a clear path to the bar at the reception.

Best Man speech starts off boilerplate, talking about the groom being swell. A minute in it leaves the rails and goes into a 15 minute explanation of best man's alcoholism. Took a two minute break to cry, then back at it. Eventually makes it back to how the groom was a good friend in spite of this.


13. Thanks to mostlylurking1 we now all know what a “jumbone” is.Top of Form

Best man is a recovering alcoholic starts drinking after years of being sober, about 10 min into reception. a small group of friends and me are having a drink with him when he tells his wife to get her jumbone. She proceeds to pull out his dick, bite it sideways like a dog with a bone, and makes puppy noises.


14. henrijonesjr has catered lots of weddings, but this one was apparently the worst.

The best man who got up and started his speech, re-telling all the details of the buck's night. The poor bride was hiding her head in her hands while the best man talks about the groom climbing on stage at a strip joint and eating a banana out of the stripper.


15. Yeah, well, this story from 4gbds proves that being a dumbass isn’t curable.

The bride had a best man instead of a maid of honor. During the best man's speech he tells the story of how he met the bride in college, she cured him of his homosexuality, and took his virginity. He then starts to cry and professes his love for her. You'd think at this point somebody would run up there and punch him in the face, but the dude was in a wheelchair. I guess you can't punch a dude in a wheelchair.


16. According to Chefbexter, “sorry" just doesn’t cut it.

I saw a groomsmen dancing all drunk and he accidentally punched a bridesmaid in the face and broke her nose. Then he followed her to the bathroom where she was crying and bleeding and tried to convince her she shouldn't be mad at him because it was an accident.


17. PhishnChips’s wedding was ruined by those old standbys: golf carts and blood.

Our wedding and reception was at a golf course. While we were outside taking pictures one of the golfers drove their golf cart to the return then handed the keys to one of the groomsmen thinking he was some sort of fancy golf cart valet or something (he was in a tux). The groomsmen instantly put that key in his pocket. Fast forward to the drunkfest reception. My friends and I were all bartenders, servers, musicians, drunks, etc., people keep leaving then reappearing. They were all taking rides throughout the golf course. After a few hours of these shenanigans one of the groomsmen comes running in covered in blood. They had a bunch of people hanging on the golfkart and when they went to make a turn it flipped over. These idiots had cocktail glasses and when they crashed it sliced everyone up, very badly. EMS was called and there were emergency surgeries and the like.


18. At least StChas77 doesn’t have any horror stories about his groomsmen.

At my wedding, two of my groomsmen got lost on the way to the reception (a mile and a half away, mind you) and didn't show up until there was about 45 minutes left.


'Princess Diaries' actress Heather Matarazzo can't stand Charlize Theron's claim that good looks work against her.

Heather Matarazzo, known for playing Lilly in The Princess Diaries, has something to say about Charlize Theron's assertion that good roles don't go to "pretty people" and that thing is: "No."

In a recent interview with British GQ, Theron said that her looks haven't always worked in her favor, and that sometimes, they've worked against her. She said, "Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that’s the end of the story. How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f***ing, gown-wearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.”

Here's Matarazzo. Totally doable.

However, Heather Matarazzo, speaking from experience, tweeted on April 5 that she "WHOLEHEARTEDLY" disagrees.

https://twitter.com/HeatherMatarazz/status/717415730031894530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/HeatherMatarazz/status/717418894684606464

And Matarazzo suggested that Theron check out a post she wrote about not being conventionally attractive in the movie industry, called "What the F*ck is F*ckable?," excerpted below, about how she lost a dream role because she wasn't considered hot enough.

He looked at me and said “Heather, I’m sorry, we have to give your role to another actor. The producers don’t want you.” I didn’t understand. I had been attached to this project for two years, and now two weeks before filming, I’m being let go. I asked him why. He looked me dead in the eyes and said “They say you’re not fuckable.” Well, fuck me. Even as I write this, I can still feel the pain, shame, and humiliation that came over me in that moment. This is a part that I had been so excited to play. She was bold, witty, sarcastic, sexy, but more importantly, she had a deeper vulnerability underneath. She had layers, she was complex.

Matarazzo goes on to explain that all the talk about her portrayal of the "ugly duckling" in her breakout role in Welcome To the Dollhouse, which came out when she was around 13, started to make her think she might really be ugly. It wasn't until she forced herself to see her real beauty that she gained confidence. Subsequently, roles started to come where she played "women who were 'beautiful, confident, secure,' they were complex, they had bite, they had depth."

So, no, Matarazzo doesn't think attractiveness works against an actor.

And honestly, maybe Theron should think twice before complaining about being stunningly beautiful while she's still raking in the bucks as the face of Dior.

Florida Governor Rick Scott chased out of Starbucks by woman with some pretty good points.

It's not unusual to face a ruckus while ordering a Frappuccino, but it is rare to be chased out because of democratic discourse. A hero in downtown Gainesville, Florida encountered the state's governor, Rick Scott, at Starbucks. And she seized the opportunity to call him out for shrinking Medicaid and his anti-abortion bill. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXYzgTLoQjY

The woman, Cara Jennings, who makes crucial points and is a Sarah Silverman sound-alike, is arguably the most dignified person in Florida.

"Shame on you Rick Scott! Rich people like you don't know what to do. When poor people need health services, you cut 'em!" she says, "Shame on you, Rick Scott! You're an embarrassment to our state!"

Jennings is being heralded on Twitter as a national hero.

https://twitter.com/Slimongi/status/717714539261788161https://twitter.com/Hegemommy/status/717719336413048833https://twitter.com/rustbeltrants/status/717701987505217541https://twitter.com/allywalker1/status/717699490556162048

Now that's how you get a governor to wake up and smell the coffee.

'The Daily Show' found footage of Trump talking about his daughter's breasts. She was a year old.

On Tuesday night, The Daily Show unearthed a video of Donald Trump saying quite possibly the creepiest thing he's ever said, ever, even creepier than all the other weird, creepy things he's said about women and about his daughters.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/926616

The show uncovered 20-year-old footage of Donald Trump and then-wife Marla Maples on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, talking about their one-year-old daughter, Tiffany. When host Robin Leech asked Trump, "What does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla's?" Trump answered (oh boy):

Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla, she's a really beautiful baby, and she's got Marla's legs. We don't whether or not she's got this part yet [at which point he cups his own chest, indicating breasts), but time will tell."

Bleeeeeeechhhhhhh. No, Donald, NO. NOT OKAY.

That is a baby! Why are you thinking about a baby's (nonexistent) breasts? WHy are you thinking about your own daughter's (nonexistent) breasts?? This is somehow even grosser than the time he said he'd date his other daughter, Ivanka, if he weren't her father. Eeeeeewwwwww. No no no.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diMp241gAcw

The thing is, his supporters don't care how creepy or awful he is, in any way at all; they're still going to like him. Not so much women, maybe, as more and more comes out about how very much Trump dislikes women, but other people, who are not women. There could be footage of him having sex with a puppy and then calling it a bimbo, and people would still be like, "okay, sure."

Oh God, please, please don't let there be any footage of Donald Trump having sex with a puppy. Even a really cute one. No.

Pet fish sent to fishy heaven with a beautiful viking funeral. RIP Peeping Tom.

Imgur user chilly911 used to have a pet fish named Peeping Tom. "Aptly named because he lived in my bathroom," chilly911 wrote on Imgur. "Livin' his life watching people poop and shower." Peeping Tom thrived on sunlight, and for six-and-half-years enjoyed a simple life in the bathroom. Then chilly911's dad murdered the pet by accidentally moving his bowl out of the sun. To best honor his "wonderful aquatic companion," chilly911 decided to send Peeping Tom off with a Viking funeral. It was stoic scene that began with Peeping Tom's dead carcass.

"To atone for his actions," chilly911 wrote, "my Dad built Tom a sturdy vessel. It in no way makes up for what he did, but it was a pretty bad ass boat."

A Viking boat is not complete without proper decoration.

Troll dolls don't make enough appearances on the Internet these days.

As a nod to Peeping Tom's favorite interests, his Viking vessel received the name SS Boobies.

Peeping Tom was loaded into the boat.

As a last step, more matches were layered on top of Tom.

And then he was set free.

Adieu, Peeping Tom. May you enjoy whatever comes your way and not be reincarnated into a human Peeping Tom.

What is this thing lurking in the Thames River? A school of dolphins or a load of marketing?

A new video is rousing the interest of skeptics and people who just want to believe giant fishmonsters are real. Posted by YouTuber Penn Plate, whose only other video is a time-lapse of London's skyline uploaded two days earlier, the cell phone footage shows a dark mass surfacing as it lurks through the Thames river. Watch and decide for yourself whether this is the real deal or a promotional stunt for some Cloverfield rip-off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubwFvl-My4E

The video's description is no help.

This was on the cable car in Greenwich yesterday. something huge was moving under the water and then briefly surfaced. Are there whales in the Thames?? Or is it some weird submarine

The way he pulls the camera away just as the river thing rises out of the water seems like some marketing firm's attempt at giving the video an authentic look and also probably to mask the special effects.

But who knows, it could always be Godzilla or a school of marine mammals, which the Evening Standard says are pretty common to the river.

Is this the real deal or what?


A new service lets you check if your partner is on Tinder, because trust is obsolete.

There's a new website that allows users to see if their partners, significant others, or what-have-yous are cheating on them using the dating app Tinder. The website, called Swipe Buster, claims to be able to find anyone's Tinder profile if you provide their first name, the city in which they last used Tinder, and a $4.99 fee. It shows you all the profiles of people that match your criteria, and if your person is there, gotcha! And also, booooo. Jerk.

Too bad your name's not Buster, because you just got BUSTED.

Apparently, the creator of the website (a software marketing employee who wishes to remain anonymous) originally designed it for a different purpose altogether—to show people how much of their personal information is available online, and just how easy it is for that information to be located. He told Vanity Fair:

There is too much data about people that people themselves don’t know is available. Not only are people oversharing and putting out a lot of information about themselves, but companies are also not doing enough to let people know they’re doing it.

He wants to raise awareness of how much data can be quickly mined from any website with a public A.P.I. (applicable programming interface) like Tinder's. Anyone who understands the code can get your data will little effort. In the same Vanity Fair interview, he said:

A lot of people are going to be like "WHAT!," and hopefully a lot of people are going to be more careful, and Tinder is going to say we have to XYZ to protect our A.P.I. I think the positive outcome [is that] a company is going to be protective of its users. We’re expecting it to be quite impactful, and a lot more people will realize what kind of data they have online.

So by now, not only are you worrying about whether or not your partner is cheating on you, you're also probably worrying about how much information about you is out there, easily accessible by anyone who spends a little time looking. Yikes. Log off, everyone. Time to log off.

Paris Jackson gets sweet tattoo to remember her dad, as though anyone's forgetting Michael Jackson.

Late pop-icon Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, is all grown up now. She recently celebrated her 18th birthday by going out and doing that something most parents would hate—getting a tattoo. However, Paris marked her first official day as an adult by getting some ink that's a touching tribute to her late father (so it is doubtful that MJ would have been mad). In the picture, Paris looks down and smiles at her new tattoo that says "Queen of my heart," written in her father's handwriting.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1Z_PwJr22/?taken-by=parisjackson

 

"Queen of My Heart" in his handwriting. To everyone else he was the King of Pop. To me, well, he was the king of my heart. Thank you @dermagraphink, you're a legend. [: @austinbrown]

Justin Lewis, the tattoo artist who gave Paris her fresh ink, also uploaded a picture with him alongside Paris and her cousin, Austin Brown (right). Paris, who is definitely giving her best Justin Bieber impression, looks thrilled with the way the new ink turned out.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1aMinRSAK/?taken-by=dermagraphink

Paris was only eleven-years-old when her father passed away in 2009. Since her father's death, she has struggled with depression, suicidal feelings, and cyber bullying.

Today she seems to live a happy and "normal" life (well, as normal as life can if you are the daughter of one of the most famous pop-icons of all time). Surely, the king of pop would be proud of the "queen of his heart."

If you need to look at some tattoos that are, in fact, regrettable—you might be interested in these.

Somewhere in Russia, a monkey named Fedor is going about his busy daily schedule of playing with friends and eating cottage cheese.

No words.

Fedor and company (which includes a lion cub that will be making an appearance in this post shortly) apparently live with YouTuber Nastusichka88, who has graciously shared an inside look at their lives together. Among his various activities, Fedor likes to bound through the snow to say hello to his chicken and goat friends.

In this video, Fedor takes a ride on his baby goat friend. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sheegj7New

It's a baby goat on a monkey. Oh, too much.

Here's Fedor playing with a dog and a lion cub.

It hurts. The cuteness hurts.

And this is Fedor snacking on some cottage cheese.

He's so tiny once he takes off all his winter clothes.

Fedor isn't the only monkey in this home. Here's Snowball clinging onto Fedor.

Are any of these pets legal? The dog probably is, but the lion cub may not be. Then again, this is all happening in Russia.

You monster. You clicked on this to see people's hopes and dreams evaporate on camera, and now you're going to get it. These marriage proposals gone wrong will satisfy your sick craving for others' misfortune.

On top of that, they offer a valuable lesson in using your own monumental life events for viral fame, because you just might get your wish, but for the wrong reason. Take a tip from these people, and avoid having anyone film you asking the Big Question, just in case the plan falls apart. Getting a "no" might be the least of your problems.

1. It's not a happy ending if that expensive ring ends up in a fish's stomach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRiJQ9RKpJo

2. Jesus Jam is supposed to be the hottest church event of the year! This proposal quickly made it the saddest.

3. Proposal tips: wear a shirt, don't interrupt your favorite band for nothing, and make sure your partner is present.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9301SmWDJqs

4. Go big or go home, right? Wrong. Keep your favorite basketball team and your love life separate, or you might bum out the entire Toyota Center.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W285WPD87bc

5. Proposing at half-time is never a good idea, as this Washington Wizards fan learned.

6. It's official: love and basketball definitely don't mix.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1qJ7V9oC5Q

7. Proposing in public is an unfair way to pressure your partner into saying yes, especially if the onlookers' mouths are filled with Cinnabon. Don't get rejected in front of someone handing out free samples.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnyKkA05nYw

8. She said yes! But the tide said no.

9. Out of all the networks to completely ruin someone's proposal on live TV, of course it'd be Fox News.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaIOWZJqr10

10. The only person who had a happy ending here was College Humor's Amir Blumenfeld, who won a prank war by potentially destroying his friend's relationship in front of a packed Yankee Stadium. Brace yourself, this prank proposal is intense.

Tattoos are forever, which is why you should never get one of your favorite celebrity. Don't forget that tastes change. You may not like that celebrity so much in a few years, especially if you're forced to stare at a poorly-drawn tattoo of their face every time you look at your body. Don't be like these people:

1. Hulk Hogan.

Hulk should sue for defamation.

2. Marilyn Monroe.

As she looks today.

3. Bob Barker.

Looks more like Travis Barker.

4. Judge Judy.

She'd probably not be cool with this.

5. Rachael Ray.

This tattoo was done in 30 minutes or less.

6. Mandy Moore (reportedly).

Oh. Mandy?

7. Justin Bieber.

Or possibly Kate McKinnon as Ellen DeGeneres.

8. Mariah Carey.

The wings are the most accurate part.

9. Maury Povich.

You are not a good tattoo artist.

10. Avril Lavigne.

It's complicated.

11. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows.

It was either this, or one of the guys from Collective Soul.

12. Conan O'Brien.

Jay Leno did this tattoo.

13. Tupac Shakur.

Even the Tupac tattoo doesn't appear to like this Tupac tattoo.

14. Celine Dion.

Lookin' good, Beavis.

15. Freddie Mercury.

We are the chumps.

16. President Obama.

He sure has aged in the last eight years. And become the Joker.

Facebook prevents boy band from using the word ‘Scunthorpe’ in their promoted post. They're pissed.

This past Monday, Facebook censors stopped a British band called October Drift from announcing a gig because they allegedly used the word "Scunthorpe" in their post. In case you didn't know, Scunthorpe is a small town located in North Lincolnshire, England. It's also a town that has a curse word in its name.

Can't see it? Spell it out: S-CUNT-HORPE. Alrighty, now you see it?

Here's an aerial view of Scunthorpe.

You can curse all you want in your statuses, pages, or comments on Facebook and the social media site will not ban you. However, the site will filter any profane words from showing up if they are written in boosted posts (paid promoted messages sent to folks who aren't fans of a particular page). 

“We tried to boost our posts to promote the Scunthorpe show, but Facebook is having none of it due to the town name containing a really rude word. That’s utterly bonkers. Sort yourself out Zuckerberg you crazy bastard,” the band wrote on Facebook. “Shit ... can’t boost this one now either!” Yikes, perhaps the band should not have called social media overlord Zuck the b-word?

The members of the alternative boy band are: Daniel Young, Alex Bispham, Kiran Roy, and Chris Holmes (shown respectively, from left to right, below).

https://www.facebook.com/octoberdrift/photos/pb.1460237730910232.-2207520000.1459959049./1686034558330547/?type=3&theater

According to The Independent, band member Daniel Young said the group reached out to Facebook so they can resolve the issue and remove the ban. As of publication, they're still waiting for a reply.

“We always put a note in saying that it’s the profanity filter that’s failing for the town name, but Facebook still doesn’t make the amendment,” Young said. “Surprising given they’re supposed to be at the forefront of modern tech.”

A Facebook employee told The Guardian they are “investigating” the issue.

Maybe October Drift should go on a huge Twitter rant about the whole messy ordeal? Nah, Zuckerberg doesn't check Twitter.

Blac Chyna will celebrate her marriage to Rob Kardashian by changing her name to something weird.

As you have probably heard, Blac Chyna (model, entrepreneur, and mother of Kylie's boyfriend Tyga's child) is now engaged to Rob Kardashian (the male Kardashian) after three months of dating. Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian only began dating this past January and now Blac Chyna has an engagement ring so large, it's probably giving her carpal tunnel syndrome.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BD03Lm2xvr3/?taken-by=blacchyna

Will being a married woman change Blac Chyna? Apparently so, since the bride-to-be says she plans on changing her name after the nuptials to something so much more normal than "Blac Chyna"—so much so that it's normalcy seems really weird in Kardashianland. (Kardashiania? Kardashistan?)

US Weekly is reporting that Blac Chyna, who's real name is Angela White, will go by Angela Kardashian after the wedding. Although it doesn't seem like Blac Chyna Angela's future in-laws seem thrilled about her joining the family (there has been radio silence on the engagement from the Kardashian Klan, something very strange for them), it would seem that she can't wait to be a bonafide Kardashian. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1PpnMRvta/?taken-by=blacchyna

Angela and Rob sound like the name of a couple your parents would be friends with, but according to the number of ring pictures/videos being shared by the couple, they seem thrilled! Kongrats to the future Mr. & Mrs. Kardashian!


The reason airlines make you open your window shade makes much more sense than you'd think.

The next time you open the plane's window shade at a stewardess's request, do it happily, because it's for your own damn safety. Tech Insider asked one flight attendant to enlighten passengers as to why this is a necessary procedure in getting a plane on and off the ground, and it makes a whole lot of sense. The stewardess explains:

If there’s an emergency, we have to be able to look out the window to assess outside conditions. If there is debris, fire, or water blocking the window, we won’t use that exit and will direct people elsewhere. It may seem like a small thing, but in an emergency, every second counts. You don’t want to have to fiddle with a window shade when you’re trying to safely evacuate a plane in 90 seconds.

Getting all passengers off a plane in 90 seconds is not only impressive, it's legally mandated by the FAA, according to Tech Insider. Plus, what kind of dullard doesn't want to look out of a plane window anyway?

OK, never mind, there are those gremlins to consider. Wanting the shade closed is very understandable.

Rapper Tyga has finally weighed in on the engagement of model (and mother of Tyga's child) Blac Chyna and reality star Rob Kardashian. For Kardashian-followers (Kardashian anthropologists, if you will), this is big, messy, exciting news. Here's why even you, person-who's-going-to-write-an-angry-comment-about-the-Kartrashians, should be fascinated by this matrix of fame and sex:

To break it down: Rob Kardashian, 29, is the brother to Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian, as well as the half-brother to Kendall and Kylie Jenner. 18-year-old Kylie is currently dating 26-year-old Tyga, who used to be engaged to 27-year-old Blac Chyna and who has a 3-year-old son with her. If that's not complicated enough, Blac Chyna also is good friends with Kanye West's ex, Amber Rose— and Kanye is, of course, currently married to Kim Kardashian. Everything is complicated as f*ck, so thank God that a grown man dating an 18-year-old girl is here to speak reason

It all seems really mature of Tyga... though all this talk of "happiness" could also be a subtle dig at Rob for going through an apparently serious depressive episode before meeting Blac Chyna. Who knows with this family? So complicated!

Does all this mean that Rob Kardashian is the most interesting Kardashian?

Celebrities who were born rich before they got famous so you have two reasons to resent them.

Celebrities are an enviable group of people because from all outward appearances they don't do a lot of hard work, are beautiful, wear pretty clothes, and have lots of money. Some of these things aren't true (as any Worst Dressed list can confirm), while others have more veracity to them—particularly the money part.

All the celebs on this list, as children.

For these 12 celebrities, even before they gained fame and saved some hard-earned cash in their own right, they weren't exactly roughing it. Thanks to their parents, these actors and musicians were already high on the high life before immersing themselves in fame and wealth as adults.

1. Brooke Shields

Get this woman a tiara.

Brooke Shields is basically a princess, if you blur the lines a bit. Her father Francis was the result of a union between a pro-tennis player and an Italian princess. He worked as an executive at Revlon, a company that Shields modeled for. At some point, his family even tried to bribe Shields's mom, Teri, into having an abortion. However, according to NJ.com, she declined, married Francis, and divorced him a few months later. So like Cinderella, Shields has a colorful family background.

2. Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Loui$-Dreyfu$.

Long before Julia Louis-Dreyfus found fame (and money) as Elaine Benes on Seinfeld, her family founded the Louis Dreyfus Group. In 2006, Forbes estimated her father Gérard's net worth to be $3.4 billion. The next generation of Dreyfuses will probably live in a castle on Mars.

3. Taylor Swift

What if "You Belong With Me" is really about money?

While Taylor Swift became famous with songs that made you want to cry for her, Swift grew up in a well-off family. Her dad, Scott, made his name at Merrill Lynch, and Taylor's mom, Andrea, similarly worked in finance before becoming a full-time mom. When Taylor, whom Salon described as "a millionaire daughter of the plutocracy," signed on with her record label Big Machine, her dad bought a three percent stake in the company. Not that they shouldn't have signed her anyway.

4. Nick Kroll

The way Kroll rocks that button-up proves he is from the burbs.

Nick Kroll hails from the well-to-do Westchester County in New York. His dad founded Kroll Inc., a billion-dollar company that does business things like release press releases called, "Kroll Selected Best Cyber Security Consultancy." 

5. Rooney & Kate Mara

The only resemblance between the two in this picture is side boob and money.

More Westchesterians (not a word). The Mara sisters grew up in the Westchester town of Bedford amid a sports-dominated family. The women's paternal great-grandfather founded the New York Giants, and their maternal great-grandfather started the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the sisters have started their own family tradition, their father still works for the Giants as a vice president. 

6. Ariana Grande

Grande was born in 1993, which is slightly frightening.

Petite pop star Ariana Grande grew up in a multi-million dollar home that conveniently housed a recording studio. In 1964, her family bought Hose-McCann Communications, which her mom still runs. Her father owns IBI Designs, which apparently does pretty OK. So does Ariana.

7. Armie ​Hammer

Nothing says "I was born into a well-to-do American family" like this face does.

Armie Hammer gets his name from his great-grandfather, Armand, who was an oil tycoon worth $200 million in 1986 (Armand died a few years later). Armie Hammer's dad, Michael, is a successful businessman whose holdings include a production company. For Armie's preteen years, the Hammer family enjoyed life on the Cayman Islands. He didn't have to act that hard to play Prince Andrew in Mirror Mirror.

8. Cara & Poppy Delevingne

With a last name like Delevingne you have to be fancy.

Cool humans Cara and Poppy had a very British upbringing in London as part of the Delevingne clan. The girls' parents are former socialite, Pandora, and a real estate developer, Charles. Cara Delevingne's godmother is fellow famous woman Joan Collins, which goes to show how atypical her childhood was.

9. Kyra ​Sedgwick

Stare at those cheekbones long enough and you'll see 18th-century Boston.

Even without her successful career and marriage to Kevin Bacon, Kyra Segdwick—whose dad was a venture capitalist—would be an interesting person based on her family background alone. Kyra comes from the Sedgwick family, as in, the storied Boston family that spawned Edie Sedgwick

10. ​Gigi & Bella Hadid

Two very different expressions from two very rich ladies.

Pretty humans Gigi and Bella Hadid got their knack for modeling from mother Yolanda Foster, a model who is current again thanks to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The sisters also got some good genes from their dad, Mohamed, who is a real estate developer in California. 

11. The Kardashian-Jenners

Wealthy people, from left to right.

As The People v. O.J. Simpson has reminded everyone, the Kardashian name was first known for Robert Kardashian, wildly successful lawyer. At the time of his 2003 death, Robert's net worth was estimated at $30 million

Then there's Caitlyn Jenner, who as a former Olympian with a flair for business was providing for the family just fine before they inundated all forms of media.

12. Rashida Jones

You cannot hold it against this angel.

Rashida Jones is so fabulous in her own right that it's easy to forget her dad is this guy named Quincy Jones. Ya know, Quincy Jones the musician, whom the Internet claims has a net worth of over $300 million. Oh, and Jones's mom is Peggy Lipton, of Mod Squad and Twin Peaks fame.

Rashida was destined to be awesome, as were most of the people on this list.

Autocorrect texting shortcuts are an easy, evil way to prank a friend or foe. See, it turns out that in your iPhone settings, you can set it so that specific words are automatically replaced with others. Most god-fearing people just use the feature to turn abbreviations like "omw" into "On my way!", but the feature is also hilariously abused by pranksters. 

Here are the most amusing shortcut pranks, and the even hilariouser reactions.

1. "Feed the dogs" to "turn on some Lil Jon and get fucked up with the yorkis."

Well done, Shiturd. Way to live up to your name.

2. "Dirty clothes" to "acid."

Trippy.

3. "No" to "HELL YES" and "WHERE THE BITCHES AT."

It's a Yes or HELL YES question.

4. Mystery word to "butt."

"Butt" is a dick move.

5. Everything to "nyoom."​

https://twitter.com/thekaciefreeman/status/632719256279470080

14. "Hi" to "I have the biggest crush on Paul Giamatti."

Anyone who denies it is a Big Fat Liar.

15. "lol" to "haha I am Bill..."

So I changed my friends "lol" shortcut on his iPhone and a week later I found this awesome conversation he had.
Unicorn bacon is probably extra crunchy.

16. "Home" to the Nazi oath to Hitler.

Does your mother ever bug you about what time you'll be home? Just change the "home" shortcut in her phone to the Nazi Oath to Hitler!
There's no place like... you know.
