Top 10 Funniest Urban Legends


oh my god this can’t be real
but it could happen right go Nate hey
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
funniest urban legends if you ever need
anything dental floss whatever you give
me for this list we’re counting down the
most humorous of the contrived
cautionary tales even if one or two of
them may seem incredibly real to you and
even if one or two of them may have been
found out to be true
number 10 Mel Gibson was born without a
face isn’t this is this what you see I
assure you it is human when the average
person hears the name Mel Gibson
followed by the phrase the man without a
face most would come to the conclusion
that perhaps there’s a cinematic
connection you know maybe the 1993 film
you perform it I hold the world but as
the world Gratiano a stage where every
man must play a part yet the world
consists of creative and curious minds
those who produced a theory in which the
original Mad Max actor somehow came into
this universe lacking what science often
refers to as a human face this is that
the latest rumor there’s another more
elaborate rumor that says a thug attack
while he was still a young aspiring
actor left him so disfigured he joined
the circus until a priest introduced him
to the best surgeons the medical world
had to offer why does that sound crazy
god bless you internet but please show
your face if you believe this to be real
you really expect me to go for that crap
number nine scrotum self repair take a
look at what this numbnuts did holy shit
speaking of the medical world there once
lived a man who took a do-it-yourself
approach when fixing his mangled coin
purse in a devastating yet documented
case of masturbation gone wrong a worker
found himself missing a left teste while
using the canvas drive belt of running
machinery
where he worked he then proceeded to
naturally staple his scrotum shut hoping
that perhaps science and logic wouldn’t
swoop in to make everything worse but
then they switched from the Swingline to
the Boston stapler but I kept my
Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind
up as much in unfortunately the man
scrotum transformed into a bowling ball
basically forcing him to visit the
doctor’s office to admit his
masturbatory fail well we’ve all been
there haven’t we number eight the killer
biscuits the Pillsbury Doughboy looks
innocent enough but this is the same
psychopath who once took part in a
violent gang initiation okay he didn’t
but according to legend a woman once
arrived in a hospital clutching her own
braids and claiming that a backseat
assailant fired a bullet into her skull
and so she better just kind of hold
still and trying to hold her brains from
falling out of her head until the until
the paramedics get there much to her
surprise the glob of brains turned out
to be the result of an exploding can of
Pillsbury Dough quite different than a
premeditated gang initiation ritual yeah
it’s definitely brains of course this
story spread via email causing
psychological damage to anyone who
didn’t know the difference between human
internals and edible flower based paste
whoa number seven copy machine polygraph
yeah you know it’s funny I was just
messing with this thing these big
machines it’s like the human brain can
be manipulated in a variety of ways
especially when the cops put a spaghetti
strainer on your head and hook you up to
a copy machine do you hold a grudge
against Montgomery burns No all right
maybe I did but I didn’t shoot him
according to internet lore a
Pennsylvania man once admitted to a
crime after a supposed lie detector
repeatedly pumped out a single sheet of
paper that said he’s lying let me make
sure I understand your question you
don’t have an understanding of what a
photocopying machine
is no I want to make sure that I answer
your question correctly such a lapse of
rational thought has provided for a
fantastic myth but we all know that
shady-ass crooked cops wouldn’t actually
use a spaghetti strainer and a Xerox
machine to psychologically torment an
alleged criminal they’d probably just
beat them with it
che delayed so the key to the sieving a
lie detector is to try and hide your
real stress levels number six sperm
burglars or pudding surprise for decades
the movies have depicted criminals who
robbed jewelry stores and such
but where in the hell are the sperm
burglars bingo in this story a couple of
thieves bust into a local sperm bank
without knowing it’s a sperm bank of
course and what do they find a bowl of
creamy pudding of course Bank Isle of
Man mingle it need a yoga since reason
goes out the window at snack time in
this ridiculous urban legend the
burglars gobble up the bowl of baby
batter like a pint of ice cream during a
power outage
no ayat you know colleague on DVD if
you’re eager to AltaVista your way to
the truth on this please know that there
are a few variations of this legend out
there ah sperm but what kind Shona there
are so many types here number five the
cemented sports car
ask yourself what would happen if you
arrived home from work and saw a new
sports car in the driveway well if
you’re the subject of this myth you
naturally assume that someone went
inside to sex up your wife I come home
what do I see I see I walk in the door
and I see MIT underwear and pieces of
clothing and a guy’s pants with his belt
in it as the story goes a cement mixer
become so terrified that someone was
doing the horizontal Bop with his missus
that he filled up the car with cement
only to discovered that it was actually
a gift from his old lady Donna Braun
sure it’s a non-violent way to make a
point but anyone who gives credence to
this myth is most certainly a legitimate
blockhead number for the
exploding-toilet and as he’s lying there
amidst the rubble he says must have been
something my if one thing’s for certain
it’s that we all fear the concept of the
exploding-toilet some people visit the
loo only one or two times a day while
some will go number two at least five
times on a daily basis in this kale a
woman inadvertently dumps flammable
material into the toilet but later when
her husband drops by for a deuce and a
complimentary cigarette he’s literally
blown away by the set of circumstances
that’s to say that the toilet itself lit
a fire under his ass lesson if you smoke
one day you’ll light your ass on fire
poof
finally number three Richard Gere and
his gerbil name something a doctor might
pull out of a person
garcy a gerbil for any successful male
star in Hollywood it’s only natural for
pop culture pundits to question their
sexuality and back in the early 90s it
was Richard dears turn to feel the wrath
of the myth truth how do you mean we
won’t get into specifics but this
utterly astounding legend has the pretty
woman star arriving at the doctor’s
office with a dead gerbil lodged up his
bum with some sources stating it was by
way of the cardboard from a toilet paper
roll impossible relationships my special
gift is impossible relationships
although unfounded by the end of the 90s
the rodents story had even been
referenced in numerous Hollywood films
and still strangely persists today I
mean it can only hear that Richard Gere
gerbil story so many times for you have
start believing it number two Rod
Stewart’s stomach of semen here’s
another pop culture tale and while Rod
Stewart has become the one most commonly
attached chances are you’ve probably
heard this story about different
oversexed musicians over the years
much like the gerbil legend this story
makes the rounds simply to question the
sexuality of an artist and in a most
spectacular way there’s my first ever
sex partner and way back in the early
60s
according to Rod Stewart himself the
narrative was first introduced by an
angry publicist who spread the rumor
that the singer had consumed a bit too
much fluid at a gay bar filled with
sailors you probably get the idea but
then again maybe you don’t before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions George did you talk
to that guy about getting me some more
cigars I told you I’m not gonna do that
okay well I guess I’m just gonna have to
take matters into my own hands huh
all right I’ll see you guys
got a high-rise double pump carburetor
that’s pretty impressive Sam double pun
it squirts the fuel in so you can go
faster last night I had a dream that
when I got to school I realized I had no
clothes on
number one the constipated elephant
as they say no one gets out of here
alive and while nobody can predict the
future certainly nobody can imagine a
scenario in which they are suffocated by
a good 200 pounds of elephant poo new
zookeeper happened to be standing right
in the line of fire he was buried yep
here’s a story in which a German
zookeeper attempted to treat his
constipated African elephant by feeding
him a few too many laxatives one half
teaspoon for fast effective relief only
to be destroyed by a streaming pile of
hot dung sure we all love mr. Hankey but
we’d rather not imagine mr. Hankey and a
couple hundred of his friends being the
reason for our untimely demise
well Shaq’s if I weren’t real could I
sing this jolly Christmas be careful out
there
