The 13 Greatest Marriage Proposal FAILs of All Time

Nothing quite like turning your engagement into a giant half-time show. This game, apparently, is called "find the mascot while blindfolded".

Having successfully found the mascot the young girl gets her prize, the Mascot deflates and out of its leathery skin walks her boyfriend, ready to propose.

This winner, who looks like the kind of guy who actually uses a belt attachment for his cell phone, takes a knee and in an extremely insecure sounding voice says 'baby, baby, baby' while his now ex-girlfriend runs away.

His biggest mistake? Nobody wants to marry a mascot.

Special thanks to 2009's Keyboard Cat for providing us with musical stylings and playing the girl out of the stadium.

The craziest part about some of these is that the girls don't just say no, they RUN out of wherever they are, like they're in danger. Judging by a lot of the guys on this list, though, maybe they are.

Tip #1 for getting engaged: If you're an athlete (even if it's College level) don't let the news announcers know that you plan to propose to your girlfriend, especially if they work for Fox.

After a victory for Boise University, Fox sent a reporter to talk to star player Ian Johnson. While Ian stands there with his girlfriend by his side, about to pop the question, the reporter says, as a transition, "... Now, I know you're going to propose to your girlfriend! Congratulations!".

What a douche.

Luckily, everything worked out fine when Ian dropped to his knee as his girlfriend excitedly yelled "Yes!"

Star Football Player marries the Head Cheerleader? That's the type of Ultra-American happy ending that Fox lives for.

This idea seemed sweet. After 2 years of being together our Proposer decided to pop the question at the very park they went to on their first date. Furthermore, to recreate that first date he got a Heart Shaped Balloon. He claims he got her the same balloon on that first date. Up until this point it's a pretty adorable engagement idea.... Until he begins to tie the ring to the balloon (I think you can see where this is going).

His friend is filming from a distance and catches the entire scene.

He walks up to her and hands her the balloon. They walk for a bit and then he takes a knee. In excitement she lets go of the balloon which promptly flies away and our suitor immediately starts yelling and chasing down the balloon. Why? Because it has the ring on it. How has this guy managed to live this long?

Did she say yes? That's up for debate. Perhaps she realized how poorly thought out his proposal idea was and decided against sharing an income, home and family with him. Anyone would, really.

This video seems almost too good to be true. Almost.

Everyone loves Christmas: the carols, the TV specials, the unbelievably painful, soul-crushing heartbreak. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

It's Christmas time for average family USA. Opening presents, drinking wine, celebrating happily; that is, until the daughter's scrawny boyfriend stands up and demands attention.

He nervously thanks them for the invitation and hospitality. While he comes off a little dorky he seems like a genuinely good guy. Finally he pops the question and the family celebrates. Unfortunately for him, she was not in the Christmas spirit.

To be fair, what kind of douche involves a morning zoo radio talkshow host in their proposal? This guy had it coming.

For a brief period in time there was a radio personality out in my hometown named Kidd Chris. He was a shock jock DJ who happened to be friends with Howard Stern. He would prank call celebrities and occasionally would invite listeners into the studio for a game called "Tennis Ball Trivia" where you'd get tennis balls fired at you for every wrong answer. He was funny, anarchic and I was a loyal listener to his show. What I'm trying to say is that if the radio personality from this video "Nigel" was even half as outrageous as Kidd Chris; then this guy should have known better!

This video stars a loyal listener who wants to surprise his girlfriend by having the morning drive radio DJ pop the question to his girlfriend for him. This already sounds like the worst proposal idea ever. The DJ agrees to do it, but only if the guy gives his girlfriend the phone and then leaves the room.

Again, this would sound like a bad idea to any sane human being.

Regardless our lazy caller does exactly as Nigel requests. Nigel instead tells this girl that he's been cheating on her. I think it's reasonable that Nigel didn't expect her to hang up before he could fess up to the joke, but it seems like it's too late for what ifs when she ostensibly breaks the guy's cell phone.
