12 Funniest Fire Accident Videos Ever (2010 Edition)

After years of being called a liar by his female friends, a guy who has clearly been huffing helium throughout his pubescent years decided it was a good idea to set his pants on fire for the internet. He sets his pants on fire, he can't get the fire out, hilarity ensues. Why? Why, after all we've seen, do people do this? What do people THINK is going to happen when they set themselves on fire? Haven't they ever seen the internet? Are they NEW to fire? Why? Anyway, hopefully this hilarious viral video that made all of us laugh a few years ago was able to bring the kid some money and, more importantly, make it so that he's incapable of procreating.

This crazy russian kid thinks setting himself on fire will be quite fun. Check out the video and you may find that he changes his mind towards the end.

This is kind of an internet classic at this point. It was even featured in a Vonage commercial (not sure if these guys got royalties for it... God, how sad would it be if they did and therefore got REWARDED for their behavior...). In case you weren't on the internet about 3 years ago, this commercial features three guys: one lighting a melon (that's filled with gas) on fire, one that's going to hit it with a bat and one complete jerk that is filming it. The guy with the job of batting the flaming melon, ostensibly across the length of the street for what would have inevitably looked "really f**king cool, bro!", hits the melon and then realizes it's not made of metal. Fact: melons will pretty much fall apart no matter what you hit them with? Did this generation just miss Gallagher ALTOGETHER? The flaming melon parts and the huge splash of gas surround the kid and set his shoes on fire. The kid goes running through the street, kicking his shoes off and screaming while his friends (kind and empathic as they are) laugh their ASSES off at him - all the while never losing grip of the camera.

After a game of beer pong played on top of what looks like a cross between a table and an arcade game, nothing is more refreshing to a Guido than what is essentially a Flaming Moe. A man drinks a drink on fire, spills some on his alcohol soaked, sweaty neck, catches fire, BREATHES fire, then goes to the bathroom to probably vomit fire. Enjoy. BONUS: Valley girl's empathic screams followed by an unchanging, unflinching camera hand. Seriously, folks, why more of these people don't go to Hollywood to start a career in filming reality TV is a mystery.

The most brutal part of this short and sweet video isn't the fact that a girl accidentally sets herself on fire while being peer pressured, it's not the fact that the guy holding the camera actually TELLS her to "shut up and set yourself on fire", but the title of the video on YouTube: "Fat girl on fire." Is that really necessary, YouTube? As if it wasn't humiliating enough that hundreds of thousands of people are going to see one of her dumbest decisions for the rest of internet-time, they have to call her fat? Brutal. Also, she IS kind of an idiot for even trying this.
