2024’s Most Outrageous and Hilarious Moments

[Social Media]

 

The year 2024 delivered its fair share of jaw-dropping and downright absurd moments, leaving us baffled, amused, and scratching our heads in disbelief. Amid significant global political developments, these bizarre events managed to steal the spotlight.  

 

One of the year’s most peculiar moments came during a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Referring to a completely unverified rumor circulating on social media, Trump exclaimed: “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs.” He elaborated further, claiming, “The people that came in, they’re eating the cats… They’re eating… they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” The claim, lacking any credible basis, left audiences stunned and bewildered.  

 

Equally unforgettable was the sight of then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivering an eight-minute speech outside Number 10 in torrential rain, notably without an umbrella. As his shoulders grew visibly soggier, the public speculated whether it was a calculated move to project determination, akin to Tony Blair’s sweat-drenched blue shirt days, or simply a weather-related oversight.

 

 

Presidential debates provided even more entertainment when Trump and Joe Biden turned the stage into a virtual golf course. Trump boasted about winning "two regular club championships," implying his golfing prowess was a testament to his physical and mental acuity. He went on to taunt Biden: “He can’t hit a ball 50 yards.” Unfazed, Biden quipped, “I’d be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap down to a six when I was vice president.” Trump, laughing, dismissed Biden’s claim, prompting the latter to revise it to “an eight handicap.” The spectacle culminated with Trump ironically urging: “Let’s not act like children.”  

 

In the sporting world, breakdancing’s Olympic debut became the talk of the internet after Australian competitor Raygun’s unconventional moves garnered zero points from judges. Dubbed the “kangaroo dance” on social media, her performance included raising one leg and leaning back with arms bent toward her ears. The routine sparked widespread ridicule, prompting Raygun to apologize to the breaking community, stating she never intended to attract backlash.  

 

 

Rapper Snoop Dogg brought unexpected flair to the Olympics as a special correspondent, embracing event-themed outfits that diverged from his usual style. Most memorably, he donned full dressage attire while covering equestrian events, solidifying his place as a pop culture icon.  

 

 

Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss endured a comical throwback to her brief tenure. During a book tour event in Suffolk, a banner featuring a lettuce and the phrase “I crashed the economy” was unfurled behind her. Created by the activist group Led By Donkeys, the stunt left Truss visibly irritated as she abandoned the stage after declaring, “That’s not funny.”  

 

 

In the art world, a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for an eye-watering $6.2 million at a New York auction. The bizarre purchase became even more outrageous when buyer Justin Sun, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, decided to eat the banana, leaving onlookers both amused and aghast.  

 

Elsewhere, Prime Minister Keir Starmer found himself at the center of a verbal mishap during his first Labour conference speech. While addressing the crisis in Gaza, he mistakenly called for “the return of the sausages” before quickly correcting himself to say “the return of the hostages.” The gaffe did little to undermine the seriousness of his speech but provided a lighthearted moment for viewers.  

 

And finally, Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene made headlines with her blunt remarks about David Cameron. When asked about the former UK prime minister’s call for increased U.S. aid to Ukraine, Greene retorted: “David Cameron needs to worry about his own country and, frankly, he can kiss my ass.” Her candidness sparked widespread reactions on both sides of the Atlantic.  

 

2024 proved to be a year where the absurd often eclipsed the serious, reminding us that even in tumultuous times, the world can still serve up moments of unintentional hilarity.
