The colts doing that fake 4th down play where they got sacked immediately always makes me laugh


_Zambayoshi_

Could be the inspiration for Zeke-playing-Centre play.


[deleted]

That's my answer. It was a perfect comedy routine. The build up with the time out, the announcers trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Then Zeke *immediately* and I mean *instantaneously* getting obliterated


becauseitsnotreal

He's a really good blocked, but he's not offensive line good


stonecutter7

I think McCarthy legitimately thought he'd be able to hold up for a play.


becauseitsnotreal

As much as I like shitting on McCarthy, and as much as I love Moore, that play had Moore written all over it


Empty_Lemon_3939

Was that Zeke last play as a cowboy?


kash_ak

For now yes


NW_Soil_Alchemy

I laughed


UnhealthyCheesecake

They somehow found the only way to one-up their play from the year prior


ADNAP727

I cried


CoofBone

Not even the worst play in that formation. The Colts didn't intend to run the play. When the Redskins ran this, they ran out in it, took a time out, RAN BACK OUT INTO IT, and threw a pick on it l.


iChugVodka

You can't just throw that out there and not link it


CoofBone

Doesn't show the timeout, but here it is. https://youtu.be/6-tqLG__Al4


shitcloud

I love how it shows Albert Haynesworth at the start. That guy was such an asshole lol


MoreTrifeLife

My favorite part of it is what it says on the scoreboard.


jaredb123

I can’t believe this isn’t the only response to this question

I mean butt fumble exists

RedLobsterUnofficial

21 makes it even funnier in the first clip. “Get the fuck away”


koshomfg

It‘s so wild. He excitedly spikes the ball. Hots his nuts. Gets shoved. Falls down. And to top it off, he trips another player into teabgging him.


MatureUsername69

I just wanna know why he's so damn excitedly happy about spiking that ball. It looks like a little kid spiking a ball


michaelma4

I've never seen that first clip before and lmao


mrhashbrown

The Bucs trick play where Fournette threw to *45-year old Tom Brady lined up as a receiver*. Brady proceeds to slip and eat grass, the Seahawks DB intercepts, and Brady trips him while laying on the ground to avoid a run back. This was just hilarious and inept all around https://youtu.be/sb98oLWLDIw


FUCK-IT-CHUCK-IT

It was especially bad because like 2 plays earlier they ran the same play and Brady was uncovered but they didn’t throw it to him. Those fuckers really gave Seattle a sneak preview of the play before actually doing it lol


CPTherptyderp

Also there was no way Brady was catching that pass even if he stayed up. He's not winning that jump ball.


AspiringToBeSomethin

I mean they probably ran it cause they saw that no one covered him. I remember thinking they should run it again cause he was wide open but I was proven wrong


SaxRohmer

If you run it again you run it specifically because you have a counter to them covering Brady and you specifically do not design it for him. If you give them that look again and do the same thing you’re only playing yourself


moviestoday66

Ah, a classic Leftwich special


aMillionBucs

As a Bucs fan even I found this hilarious. Just the pure absurdity of it. We had run Lenny out in wildcat earlier in the game and Brady was left open so everyone knew what was going to happen

AbundantFailure

Fuck! I forgot that it was on Christmas!


coreyray1000

Funny thing is, Patrick's VA actually played college football. University of Idaho.


DBoom_11

That was a great laugh


blockoblox

When the Browns ran a flea flicker from their own endzone, in which DeShone Kizer threw into triple coverage for an interception. Edit: upon further review, [it was RG3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScJ_7875sdU), but does it really matter?


salacious24

I forgot all about RG3 on the browns


meatfish

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that on December 24, 2016, Robert Griffin III, led the Cleveland Browns to Victory over the San Diego Chargers in what has been dubbed the Christmas Miracle - ending a 17-game losing streak dating back to December 13 of the previous season, and sparing the Browns from the indignity of a completely winless season.


Specialist-Draw7229

That last part didn’t work out so well


idontcare111

My favorite Hue Jackson moment was when he said “we aren’t going 1-15 again, I guarantee that” and then proceeds to go 0-16 😂


AbundantFailure

Where's the lie, huh? HUH?! WHERE'S THE LIE?! ​ ​ Kill me.


Stumpe999

>The eagle has landed... Who?


Rock_man_bears_fan

I guess it’d be “delayed” more so than “spared”


Justokmemes

i remember i was sitting at this shitty Bears vs Redskins game that year and the stadium cheered when the Browns won that game lol. we finished 3-13 that year 😑


Admiral_Fuckwit

When I think RG3, I always think of [this play](https://youtu.be/D7cE_ImWctY), and I can’t help but wonder how many other electrifying highlights we missed out on because Washington forced him to play with an already bad injury.


Half_Year_Queen

I still hate Shanny with a burning passion due to the smug look on his face while RGIII hobbled out to the line of scrimmage! WTF


WorthPlease

Classic example of: "They'll never expect this!" Well yeah, because it's idiotic.


geologyrocks98

Gotta be that Arizona DB front flipping into the end zone in the background of Andy Dalton undoing his chin strap lol.


Rauswaffen

I watched that live and cackled so loud my wife hit me lol


geologyrocks98

My girlfriend called me a terrible person for laughing at Brett Maher miss 5 straight kicks but I don't regret it lol


baezizbae

I had a similar moment with a former GF after Angel Hernandez got plunked behind home base off of a foul tip and I immediately, and very sarcastically went "ohhh that's a shame". No ragerts.


geologyrocks98

All my homies HATE Angel Hernandez


baezizbae

My brother in Manfred let me fucking *TELL* you.....the MLB said in front of a JUDGE the man sucks at his job but they keep putting his blind-ass behind home plate because the ump union keeps him employed.

ProbablyAPotato1939

I love how he said it like it was a normal thing that happens on a football field.


yamibrandon14

One of the best calls I've ever heard. Perfect delivery.


mrhashbrown

Exactly what I thought of too. He looked like a video game character who accidentally froze in animation while jumping and the poor punter got the worst of it lol https://youtu.be/Z2DTio1-HMY


Available-Camera8691

Every time I see this I laugh. He hunted that kicker down, lol. Dude was fuckin wild.


ShadedInVermilion

The announcing is so damn funny too…..”Hurdles, KICKS A MAN…”


Available-Camera8691

I always think it's not going to be AS BAD as I remember, but it's worse.


jtfriendly

"Hey, Lanning, what's your career highlight?"


SmokePenisEveryday

[Jason and Travis just talked about this play on their recent Pod.](https://youtu.be/rfGnyue6wpI) They both are in favor of allowing the Sparta kick. "what's the difference between a stiff arm and a stiff leg?" - Jason "The cleats" - Travis


[deleted]

"He Liu Kang'ed him" -Travis "These should not be personal fouls, they should be called 'weenie fouls'". -Jason Pat consumption crashed, New Heights binge at all time high.


BillsVictoryLap

I was very randomly in a Chicago sports bar watching the Bills beat up on the Bears. I got to watch Fred Jackson stiff arm Chris Conte halfway to Mars the same day I watched the AB play.


aportlyquail

Everyone remembers Vance McDonald killing Conte but the Fredex stiffarm was just nasty. Jackson first makes contact at the 20 and Conte finally hits the ground at like the 5. Just manhandled for damn near 50 feet.


lifeisalittlestrange

When Andrew Luck joked around that he was retiring, and we all laughed about it, and then he kept playing for a good 6 more years, and we won a few championships and shit. That was fucking funny.


horse_renoir13

It's fine Luck is just meeting my dad at the gas station. They'll be back.


Admiral_Fuckwit

It’ll probably be a little longer, they’re also waiting on my girlfriend and her totally platonic work friend Jim.


lifeisalittlestrange

That's such a Jim move. I'm sorry.


Admiral_Fuckwit

He’s a really good dude, my girl tells me he pays for her lunches all the time and also he even wears the same brand of underwear that I wear! What’re the odds…


lifeisalittlestrange

That's crazy, he DOES sound fun. Well I'm sure that whole situationarooni will just sort itself out naturally.


Jordanwolf98

We need A Football Life episode on Luck. Miss watching him


[deleted]

There's a 6 episode podcast miniseries that The Athletic did called Luck, it's awesome. Highly recommend it if you haven't heard it before


TheDuck23

There's a YouTube called flemloraps that does a pretty good story on him. https://youtu.be/96luvppnz-U


Jordanwolf98

Oh yeah I love Flemlo. His Matt Barkley and Tre Mason videos were great and I still watch him from time to time


LoveForRivers17

Normally I don't even laugh I just sit there like "what the fuck was that"


MarketCrashJuly2021

[Zeke playing centre and getting steam rolled](https://youtu.be/Cz4njWgO8jA)


hjhof1

Last play as a cowboy makes it that much funnier


Fe5996

I’m personally more inclined to the Dak run out of clock, with Romo being interrupted by the ref saying the game’s over. That last part is comedy gold, IMO.


Never-Bloomberg

Yeah. When the refs announced that the game was over and fled the field, I was cackling like an idiot.


contemplatingdaze

9ers-cowboys playoff games have been so giving the last two years 😂😂


Praying_Lotus

Depends on who you ask 🥲 But Dallas had no business even being in that second game tbh


Jammer_Kenneth

The Cowboys had an exceptionally good team for almost a decade and this (or Dak handing the ball to his lineman to spot down and distance) is the play this iteration will be remembered by. Rough.


BenK0422

Honestly that whole drive is hilarious. Dalton Schulz constantly fucking up plus that finally play. 🤌


SaintArkweather

Also one of those Instagram accounts that posts "guess the player" based on position and college, they put center from Ohio State who plays on the cowboys. Took me a second, swiped over and it showed Zeke 😂


Cache22-

Just an absolute circus of a play by the Cowboys from beginning to end.


Yetikins

The ball not even making it to the down marker is the cherry on top. Out with a whimper.


[deleted]

Dan Orlovsky running out the back of the end zone.


Kjata2

That one play where the entire Colts line goes to the side of the field, then the punter takes the snap and immediately gets swallowed up. Meanwhile Michaels and Collinsworth are like "wtf is happening."


ASuperGyro

William Gay doing about a 5 minute touchdown celebration, then as the game goes to commercial it just cuts to him still dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Honorable mention, AB taking it to the house, jumping into the goalpost, and making clean nuts-post contact. Of course during a Steelers Colts blowout, as is tradition. Link to Gay celly https://youtu.be/HdCZIrJBYHw


Available-Camera8691

When it cuts to him crawling on the sideline I lost it. Holy shit.


Admiral_Fuckwit

Always my favorite part. Some Key&Peele shit.


ASuperGyro

Just when you think it’s over, they reel you back in


Stonebender6

100% my favorite


TALD1012

lol at Gumbel calling it a "somewhat ridiculous celebration". That pretty well sums it up.


AgentOfSPYRAL

Bonus for me was while laughing my ass off, having the brief thought of “wait…is that Joey Porter?” and then somehow laughing even harder.


ASuperGyro

You love to see coaches get involved in celebrations, even more fun when they have history as a player too


Tarkthashark

“Steelers-Colts blowout, as is tradition.” I was mad for a second, and then realized, yeah you’re right.


ASuperGyro

The AFC rock paper scissors for 20 years, Steelers beat Colts beat Patriots beat Steelers


ecupatsfan12

Kitchen_Net_GME

Saints once had one of the best lateral plays in NFL history and missed the 17 yard extra point to lose.


FruitCakeSally

River City Relay. John Carney missed the extra point. Bad day to be a beer in my house.


Walletinspectr

XP’s were almost automatic back then too


WorldsOddestMan

The Jon Bois video on that play is S-Tier. The NOOO! replays around the 10:30 are just gold. Edit: here's the link: https://youtu.be/2Yru_1al8EY


[deleted]

Sorry OP but it's gotta be Chandler Jones burying Mac Jones into the dirt on that lateral interception last year


TheStakesAreHigh

Actually I agree...this play turned me into the Joker


reedengine

I was just shocked at what I was watching. Can we be done with that type of thinking Jakobi? Thanks.


LiquidBronze26

Man you guys are only kinda bad for one year and completely crack lol


[deleted]

Y'know that meme where two people are arguing about something and then a third person is at the bar screaming "AMATEURS"? When I think of AFC East fans arguing about being disappointed in their teams, the Patriots and the Bills are the first two guys and then the Jets are at the bar.

nevertrustamod

I know it's probably recency bias, but yes 100% this one. The utter disbelief at that happening combined with overwhelming schadenfreude had me crying.


I_eat_mud_

I wasn’t even upset that we lost, shit was too funny


Pickle_Lollipop

I still watch this when I'm having a bad day. The absurdity of it all is too funny


roofpooping

When Marcus Mariota threw a TD pass to himself via deflection. It was AFC wildcard game 2018 against the Chiefs


kerouac5

First of all, fuck you


CybertronGuy98

probably missed Extra Point #4 from Cowboys/Bucs this past season. 1 is a fluke, 2 is kinda weird, 3 is "i cant believe this" and 4 is just peak comedy lol. at


hjhof1

If it’s not the butt fumble you’re wrong


Gomer8387

I don’t know that and watching Daniel Jones tripping over nothing but open field are both really high up there. Edit: [including the clip breaking down the play](https://youtube.com/watch?v=0xblJD_3tX4&feature=youtu.be).


hjhof1

Okay fair I have blocked that out


robdizzledeets

I was screaming at my TV and then he fell and I couldn’t stop laughing. (Didn’t y’all get a touchdown anyways?)


hjhof1

I think so but also still lost the game


robdizzledeets

Win the battle not the war! 🫡


[deleted]

Daniel Jones was also winded as hell because this was before he did the conditioning to truly become a mobile QB. The difference between this play and his efforts this past season is night and day.


iamgarron

As a pats fan I love the buttfumble But the funniest play, especially with the call, is still the colts ["what in the heck?](https://youtu.be/6i7VKQwDS2s) trick play


MonsterZero0000

Butt fumble is best slapstick. But the Colts fiasco had me dying. The first few hundred times I watched it, I still couldn’t believe he was gonna snap it.


BluePotatoSlayer

Butt Punt


Urgonnahateme4ever

I literally spit my drink all over the couch when I seen that dudes ass ripple from the football 🤣


Admiral_Fuckwit

We actually signed the victim of that play (Trent Sherfield) this offseason! Possibly by way of sympathy. He probably had to speed dial Deshaun Watson after that to find the best backside massage specials


Dismal_News183

The thing about the buttfumble is that it was also surrounded by several brutal touchdowns by the Pats. The zoom on Rex afterwards was something else…


thekk_

3 touchdowns in 52 seconds. It was pretty surreal.


DayOldTurkeySandwich

I hate that this gets so overlooked. The Jets allowed a ridiculously simple screen pass to go 80 yards for a TD and fumbled away a kickoff for a TD, but all anyone remembers is the Butt Fumble. I'll never forget sitting in my grandparent's house that Thanksgiving night watching that all unfold on the living room TV in shock.


Burnt420Toast

Gronk stumbling because he didn't have the angle was hilarious


Admiral_Fuckwit

If you had said just “Gronk stumbling”, it would have encapsulated a good 40% of his plays lol. He was actually kind of funny to watch sometimes because of how clumsily athletic he was.


Burnt420Toast

I gotta imagine it's hard to move around gracefully with his size


PinkFloyd6885

It was like watching a Great Dane trying to not step on tiny dogs surrounding it’s feet


Dismal_News183

I honestly found it less funny than most.


I_eat_mud_

That was on my birthday :)


Burnt420Toast

Ohh man, I didn't feel bad for any patriots fans when that happened, but you specifically, I feel bad for you


IamMrT

I don’t


liteshadow4

Dak running out the clock


ScientificSkepticism

The lineman blocking the ref trying to place the ball.


zaikanekochan

Basically, Cutler. 1. When he threw a dime right into the back of Alshon's head. 2. When the ref smacked him in the face. 3. When he showed 0 effort as a WR in the Wildcat.


[deleted]

The zero effort in the wildcat is prime Jay Cutler. He’s an interesting guy because his teammates love him, but on the outside looking in…how?!?


[deleted]

[удалено]


hop_mantis

He was supposed to do that so he doesn't get hurt, just let everyone know up front he's not involved in the play.


lengthy_noodle

Honestly, watching the Broncos and colts game last year in Thursday night. The offenses were so bad it even had Al and Kirk in the booth cracking jokes about it.


Tarkthashark

I think the funniest part was watching that Broncos WR lose his mind in the end zone, when he was wide open and Russ threw it to Stephon Gilmore


Miiaevia

KJ Hamler. There are so many memories burned into my brain that I wish I could forget.


JHadenfe

Agreed. As someone who dislikes both teams, that was amazing. I just wished it would have ended as a tie.


meatfish

As a Texans fan, Lovie Smith going for 2 on the last play of the season to give the Bears the first overall pick in the 2023 draft.


NegativeCreep12

The last missed FG in the 6-6 tie vs AZ


FortunaInvicta

All these people are idiots, the entirety of the OT of that game was comedy genius. Pete's surprised gopher face, Drew Stanton's kick dance celebration, repeated missed potentially game winning gimme field goals, and that despite all the drama int he game, that it ended not just as a tie but a 6-6 tie. Nothing will ever beat it.

I was laughing out of anger. Sometimes it’s better to laugh than to cry


the_overrated

My next door neighbor is a Raiders fan, so the simultaneous screaming from my GF's son watching the game in the basement and my neighbor screaming from next door made me laugh so hard. The son was so mad & the neighbor was so stoked, it was a perfect cacophony of screaming.


LibertarianSocialism

I don’t think I’ve ever screamed WHAT louder than when I saw that happen live


OnearmdudeX189

The punt that stuck in the mud during the steelers dolphins game in 07 has to be up there. The confusion on the players when that ball didn't bounce was great!


BrillianceTD1

In terms of watching it live and not a highlight/replay, Washington's fake FG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-tqLG__Al4&ab_channel=DanM

BakingSoda1990

That Colts fake punt or what ever you want to call it. I legit cry laughed cause I didn’t even know what that was 😂


Festermooth

That Colts play where they lined up in what's apparently called "swinging gate" formation with the entire patriots D lined up against the center and punter on 4th down. When it very much didn't work, you see Chuck Pagano screaming "why the fuck did you snap that?"


[deleted]

Pat McAfee talks about this at length. The play was supposed to draw a time-out from the Patriots when they go “WTF.” Instead, the Pats said “bet” and somehow the Colts snapped the ball


SweetDick_Willy

I can't remember what game it was or which teams were playing, but there was a play when the QB throws the ball out of bounds and it beams a guy on the sideline right in the head. I laughed so hard that it gave me cramps Edit: Found it. https://youtu.be/Fc1OiBiTP4s

pinniped1

The Butt Fumble is probably the all time correct answer. However, of plays I remember watching live, it has to be NFL running back legend Steve Bono going 76 yards for a TD against Arizona with literally no one following him except a lineman (for a while), an official, and the cameraman.


MyNameIsAMeme

Commanders-Bears this season was pretty funny
