ScrollDamage Issue #006: Funniest Viral Moments, Parkour Grandpa & Oscars Fails
Parkour grandpa, a sprinkler attack, and Ben Stiller’s stage mishap — ScrollDamage Issue #6 is your guide to the funniest internet moments you missed.

👀 Welcome back to ScrollDamage, your weekly unfiltered internet digest packed with viral news, funny fails, and trending chaos. This week’s lineup cracked me up and wrecked my productivity — we’ve got viral animal thieves, weather girl comedy gold, live TV bloopers, celebrity stage disasters, and a parkour grandpa redefining fitness goals. Let’s jump into the internet’s weirdest hits before they break your feed.
A fish and chip shop in Brisbane raised the white flag against its local menace: ibises, aka “bin chickens.” They even slapped up a viral sign: "the birds don't work here." I nearly spit out my coffee. Picture this: you’re holding a box of fries, and a bird rolls up, snatches one, and gives you a look like it pays rent. Somewhere, there’s an ibis with an Instagram account flexing its haul. This is why “funny animal news” owns the internet.
Lucy Kennedy just dropped the most chaotic and hilarious weather forecast audition ever — using a curling iron as her mic. Imagine sipping your tea while Lucy predicts “scattered drama and 90% fabulous.” If TV networks aren’t calling her, they’ve lost their minds. By the end, I wanted her to start a YouTube channel called Storm Queens. This is peak viral TV gold.
💦 3. Sports Presenter Soaked by Sprinkler on Live TV
Connie McLaughlin went from Champions League coverage to starring in Attack of the Sprinklers when a rogue lawn jet nailed her on live TV. One second, polished sports reporting; next, soggy chaos. I laughed so hard I woke the dog. Connie, you’re a hero — someone get this woman a towel sponsorship and a reality show called Weatherproofed. Viral sports bloopers don’t get better than this.
🎭 4. Ben Stiller’s Oscars Fail Goes Viral
Ben Stiller stepped onto the Oscars stage… or tried to. The platform jammed halfway, leaving him peeking out like a tuxedo-wrapped meerkat. And Ben? Absolute pro — kept presenting like it was all part of the bit. I nearly choked on my popcorn. This is why we watch awards shows live: unscripted, glorious meme fuel. Expect TikToks reenacting this by tomorrow.
🥷 5. 70-Year-Old Japanese Grandpa Goes Viral for Parkour
A 70-year-old Japanese grandpa has become an overnight legend for his parkour stunts — vaulting walls, flipping over rails, and making millennials rethink leg day. I’m out of breath just watching. This man’s TikTok account should come with a health warning: May cause existential crisis. Forget Marvel — sign him up for Fast & Furious: Grandpa Drift.
