Funerals, not at all funny.
Let’s face it, dying can really put a damper on your party and funerals are just no fun (unless you’re a dead member of the Kennedy family or having one of these 8 Strangest Reactions To Ted Kennedy’s Death). If only the corpse could sit up and say, “Listen, I’m dead, stop crying already. I had a good run.” But there are a few unusual individuals who make their funeral comedy gold. In honor of Edgar Allen Poe’s 160 year-late funeral, we bring you now the most hilarious coffin jockeys in history and the 15 Funniest Funerals.
15. Eddie Van Halen and Zakk Wylde Rock Funeral
During the funeral for metal guitarist, “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, Eddie and Zak got drunk and gave profanity-laced tributes. Very metal! I wonder if the corpse crowd surfed to the hearse.
14. Grim bet begets wacky funeral
Two soldiers bet each other that if one of them died, the other would have to show up in the funeral in a bright green dress and pink leg warmers. Sadly, one of them won. But happily, I think the deceased soldier got a good laugh from beyond the grave.
13. Belinda Emmett’s Funeral Song
Belinda was a popular actress and singer in Australia that died of cancer in 2006, but that didn’t stop her from having a Monty Python song played at her funeral. I don’t know if the parrot sketch would’ve gotten as many laughs at her wake, however.
“I’m not quite dead yet!” C’mon, Belinda would’ve laughed at that.
12. Isaac Hayes says, “Goodbye children!”
Isaac had a real funeral and a secret funeral for all his celebrity buddies and Scientologists. Tom Cruise, Kelly Preston and Doug E. Fresh made an appearance. Sounds more like a romantic comedy than a funeral, but at least Isaac is finally rid of his alien parasites.
11. Funeral Singer not candidate for American Idol
This is an omazing video.
10. Last Corpse Standing
A Puerto Rican man’s last wish was to remain standing at his own funeral and wake, so the funeral home obliged him.
Angel gets a goodbye kiss from his bro, Carlos.
9. WoW Funeral
Apparently, this player died in real life, so a group of her online friends got together to continue their sedentary lifestyles (that are probably slowly killing them) online to honor their friend in a WoW funeral. Unfortunately, another group of players decided to raid the funeral and kill everybody. No doubt the dead WoW player would be proud.
8. Funeral and Mini Golf
While this isn’t a specific funeral, I’m considering booking mine here. Funerals can be such a drag when you don’t have anything to do. It’s a good thing this funeral home has a mini golf course. I’d like to hold my wake at the little windmill on hole 9 please.
7. Funeral Fight
Classy.
6. French funeral for Anime character, Goku
Poor Goku. Now he’s beating up angels in heaven!
5. Chrysler demands body
Our car manufacturers may be broke, but they still make demands. Harold St. John, involved in an asbestos lawsuit against Chrysler, died in the middle of the trial. The car manufacturer delivered a subpoena for the body at the funeral so they could rush the warm corpse to a coroner. No wonder my LeBaron is a piece of sh*t.
4. Heath Ledger’s Beach Funeral A-Go-Go
Heath Ledger’s wake turned into a day at the beach for attendees, who jumped into the water to let off some steam and probably pee. Finally, an excuse to wear my black sun block and I miss it.
3. Drunk Pastor Ruins Service
A Swedish family is asking for 30,000 Euros in damages after the pastor got blitzed and did the funeral drunk. He kissed the hand of the deceased and gave an exaggerated hug to her 20 year-old granddaughter. Well, at least he didn’t vomit inside the coffin.
“Hey, you got the number of that pastor?”
2. Insane Clown Posse Theme Funeral for Baby
Finally, something to make my Eddie Van Halen look sane.
1. Hamster Viking Funeral
Boy are the Vikings going to be surprised when he gets to Vahalla.
God bless dead people. Also check out the 10 Greatest Cartoon Ghosts and these twin dead midget wrestlers.
