Comedy and tragedy, or so the saying goes, is a matter of perspective. You falling into a well is comedy, me getting a papercut? Tragedy. Fortunately for most, through the magic of the internet, it’s possible to find and display moments right before (hopefully hilarious) unfortunate events.
We’ve gathered some wonderful examples of moments captured seconds or even milliseconds before disaster. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the best ones, and feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Faster camera? I can catch moments on my Nikon that I can't begin to catch on my less expensive cameras. Also, I think several of these might be from video where they pulled one still frame from the right moment.

Am sitting on my bed going through this list. My bf is next to me, sleeping. This list quickly became a "can you get to the bottom of this list without waking bf up?"-challenge! I can't remember the last time I cried so much from laughing without making a sound. Haha! Even had to fetch a tissue. 🤣
