Guess he was dared to do that
To the music aficionados in the world, few things hold as much thrill and vibe as a good old-fashioned crowd surf. As the audience dives into melodious tunes or upbeat rock rhythms, the performer also tries a little adventure and dives into a sea of outstretched hands.
This is the classic way of becoming one with the excited fans who cheer launching themselves into a sea of outstretched hands, hoping this would launch him into the ever-precious glory of being a fan favorite.
The Dare also wanted to channel his inner David Lee Roth and jumped into the bustling crowd at a packed venue. But what followed next was a sequence of comic fails that the internet cherished with funny reactions and rib-tickling jokes.
So what happened that led to this humor wave? Well, when The Dare launched himself into the bustling crowd, nobody thought to catch him let alone pass him forward in the signature crowd surf motion, in style. So what happened next was no surprise. You don't have to read rocket science to guess that he fell straight into the floor.
The scene that started with his song quickly transformed into a classic JLO scene featuring none other than everyone's known party banger 'On the Floor' (because he literally landed headfirst on it).
Netizens are famous for laughing at such comically appealing Schadenfreude. If history was any evidence, on-stage stunts and moments only attain their fullest glory when they are launched and executed successfully. How many stage falls and comic gear fails do we have exactly?
Well, you might need a calculator and a never-ending diary to keep count (that is why we will not toil and rather focus on the humor). Fans landed successfully with their jokes. Some quipped if a failed crowd surf can be considered surfing at all or if it should be unanimously called crowd sinking.
The funny questions are just starting to pile up, let's take a big dive into it:

This is so embarrassing, I would resign from music and move to the countryside immediately, if this was me.
