Theo Von's fall at Donald Trump’s inauguration

Theo Von, attending Trump’s second swearing-in ceremony, was seated right in front of Logan Paul when his chair suddenly collapsed, sending him tumbling directly onto Paul’s lap.

Logan, who had been busy filming the proceedings, captured the whole moment for the internet’s amusement.

The cause of Von’s sudden fall remains a mystery, but it seems the comedian, attempting to turn around, was caught off-guard by gravity’s cruel reminder that not all chairs are built for viral moments.

The crowd, including Logan’s brother Jake Paul, looked on in shock as Von made a dramatic descent. After the dust settled, Logan helped Von secure a new seat, joking that he’d “had a feeling something like this might happen.”

Okay, Sherlock.

After regaining his composure, Von leaned into the comedy of it all, humorously blaming the incident on “Kamala's chairs,” in a playful jab at the former vice president.

The video was later captioned with “MAKE CHAIRS GREAT AGAIN,” as Logan Paul shared it on his X feed, quipping, “Thought we were past the pranks boys.”

Other funny moments from Donald Trump's inauguration

Meanwhile, Von wasn’t the only one providing fun antics at the inauguration. Melania Trump’s broad-brimmed hat nearly took center stage, obstructing her face during an air kiss from Trump, causing more than a few chuckles.

Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman’s decision to wear a Carhartt sweatshirt and cargo shorts stood in stark contrast to the sea of formal attire, giving a whole new meaning to “casual Friday.”

Trump himself didn’t miss a beat after his speech, addressing the overflow crowd with a nod to his audience’s “youth and beauty,” stating: "You're a younger, far more beautiful audience than I just spoke to."

Former President George W. Bush was caught pulling faces in the background, keeping viewers entertained with his animated expressions.

The inaugural luncheon also had its moments, with Senator Amy Klobuchar seen in deep conversation with Trump, leaving everyone to speculate about what witty exchanges were taking place over their crab cakes and ribeye steak.
