Assignment America: Birthdays

Every Thanksgiving, we abandon our inhibitions (and sanity) and shove as much food down our gullets as is physically possible–and then we eat pie! But this holiday of harvest is meant for more than just loosening our belts and testing our intestinal fortitude. It’s a time for giving thanks, for gathering with friends and family, and getting hilarious moments on camera.

We’re sure you’re going to gobble-gobble up this hilarious compilation of Thanksgiving hijinks, from dogs eating turkey to humans being harassed by wild turkeys (still alive, of course). We serve up a healthy selection of sides: hoverboard wipeouts, pregnancy announcements, creepy tiny hands, and pants falling down. These videos will have you coming back for seconds, and even thirds!
<h2>Turkeys Gone Wild</h2>
Nothing says Thanksgiving quite like a turkey on the loose. In one unforgettable clip, a family’s well-intentioned attempt to deep fry their turkey goes awry when the bird decides it’s not ready to be dinner. The scene quickly devolves into a chaotic chase around the backyard, with the turkey flapping and squawking while the family scrambles to recapture their runaway entrée.
<h2>Hoverboard Hijinks</h2>
Thanksgiving gatherings are prime time for showing off new gadgets, and hoverboards are no exception. But as many holiday revelers have discovered, balancing on a hoverboard after a hefty meal isn’t as easy as it looks. Watch as uncles, cousins, and siblings take turns riding–and falling off–these modern marvels, providing a feast of laughter for everyone watching.
<h2>Dog vs. Turkey: The Ultimate Showdown</h2>
Pets and Thanksgiving dinners can be a tricky combination, especially when your dog has his eye on the main course. In one classic clip, a golden retriever seizes the opportunity when no one is looking, stealthily dragging the turkey off the kitchen counter and into his secret hiding spot. The family’s reaction upon discovering the half-eaten turkey is priceless, as they grapple with both dismay and uncontrollable laughter.
<h2>Pregnancy Announcements with a Twist</h2>
Thanksgiving is a popular time for big family announcements, and pregnancy reveals are always a hit. However, not all announcements go as planned. One memorable video features a family gathered around the dinner table, waiting for the big reveal. Just as the expectant parents make their announcement, a well-timed (and unfortunate) sneeze from Grandpa sends mashed potatoes flying across the table, turning the moment into an unexpected and hilarious mess.
<h2>Tiny Hands, Big Laughs</h2>
If you’ve ever seen the tiny hands trend, you know how absurdly funny it can be. Thanksgiving provides the perfect backdrop for this bizarre yet hilarious prank. In one compilation, family members take turns using the miniature appendages to pass dishes, carve the turkey, and even eat their meal. The results are predictably awkward and side-splitting, proving that sometimes the best laughs come in small packages.
<h2>Pants-Falling Fiascos</h2>
Last but not least, we have the classic pants-falling-down mishap. Whether it&#8217;s due to overzealous belt-loosening or the sheer weight of too much food, these wardrobe malfunctions are always good for a laugh. One standout video shows a dad carving the turkey when, without warning, his pants give up the fight and drop to his ankles. The room erupts in laughter, making it a Thanksgiving to remember.
<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</h2>
<h3>What makes Thanksgiving fail videos so popular?</h3>

<h3>Where can I watch these hilarious Thanksgiving clips?</h3>

While some fails are unavoidable, planning ahead and staying organized can help. Ensure your cooking equipment is in good shape, keep pets away from food, and maybe save the hoverboard rides for after dinner. Most importantly, maintain a sense of humor and be ready to laugh off any mishaps.

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, family, and food. But it’s also a time for laughter, and these fail videos capture the essence of holiday humor perfectly. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these unforgettable Thanksgiving moments!
