Some might say that self-deprecating humor is an art form and personally, I'd agree. You have to tiptoe a fine line when making fun of yourself and take quite a few things into consideration.

When sharing self-deprecating humor with the Internet you want to be cautious not to lie, but exaggerating doesn't hurt. You also want to make sure that people are laughing at and with you, as opposed to feeling sorry for you or feeling pity for you.

Most importantly though, you want to make sure that the person laughing the most is yourself. Whether it's a coping mechanism or just how you experience the world, self-deprecating humor certainly has its place alongside the staples of meme culture and comedy.

Surely there have been times in your life where you made a mistake, grand or minor, and decided, "you know who would really like this? Everyone who follows me on Twitter." Chances are, you were delighted to realize you were correct and everyone got a kick out of your epic fail.

The real question after that is, has your epic fail ever managed to make it into a compilation and shared with millions of comedy and meme enthusiasts all over the world? If not, there's always tomorrow.

So don't stop sharing your epic fails with the Internet. You'll be in good company with folks such as these:

1. Children: A Blessing and a Curse

Don't hate the stimmy seeker

2. Tell us you have ADHD without telling us you have ADHD

TFW no attention to detail

3. Somebody needs to do something about these overdramatic reactions

Everyone in DJ Khaled's life:

4. He brought this upon himself

Sometimes other Twitter users reactions are *chef kiss* priceless

5. Alright, you know what? We might actually be sleeping on Ben Affleck.

6. Oh no

7. In 2007 Cortana said: "Don't make a girl a promise... if you know you can't keep it."

8. Mistakes were made

She's gonna have to take the double L on this one

9. Roasted and Seered by the Fruit of Her Loin

10. What could we possibly done to deserve this?

"Birthday Cake Mayonnaise" Exists; Me:

11. Things like this surely take effort, right?

12. "History"

Meanwhile, somewhere Kelly Clarkson is loving this. We're sure of it.

13. This "gift" found in the wild must be something cosmic trying to make up for the Birthday Cake Mayonnaise.

NICE

14. Absolutely amazing. Phenomenal. Glorious.

Those are situations you simply have to make the best of. If you wear a romper to get a vaccine, please rip it off dramatically inspired by famous wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.

15. CURSE YOU, WORDL! CURSE YOU!

Me, in the general direction of WORDL every chance I get:

Not every day can be perfect, you're bound to make mistakes as you go. The least you can do is have a chuckle about it.

Of course, if you're just a third party to someone else's moment of devastating, hilarious failure, you also have an obligation to record and share those moments, too. How else would we experience moments of tear-inducing laughter?

Sometimes you just need to laugh at epic fails.
