As Charles-Guillaume Étienne once said, "If you want something done right, do it yourself," and nothing can possibly go wrong if you're the one with your finger on the button...right? Well, not quite. While you might want to document every fun aspect of your everyday life, sometimes taking a funny selfie might go in a different direction. If you miss something in the background, that’s when an epic selfie fails. And this is a common issue for every online user. Even celebrities sometimes post bad selfies!

A bad selfie is the last thing you should worry about. Selfies lead to fatal accidents many times. Selfie trends have evolved since 1836. Traffic mirror selfies and those on a 0.5 distance were trending in 2023. Such poses can turn into funny selfies or fatal ones. 

According to one research, the average age for deceased people is around 24.4 years old. India leads in incidents with 26.4%, followed by the USA at 10.3% and Russia at 8.7%. In the US, 62% of people have confirmed taking at least one selfie at some point. 82% of people in the age group 18 to 34 years old, 63% of people aged 35 to 54, and 44% of those 55 and above have taken selfies. 

Check out this list of 72 hilarious, embarrassing selfies gone wrong. At Bored Panda, we love a funny moment—a funny selfie in this case. This collection of bad selfies should be a funny reminder to always double-check before posting instead of sharing failed pictures. Check the list of 72 funny selfies below - hopefully, there aren't any of yours.
