Dumb-Ass Lists: Beyond Wardrobe Malfunctions, Our 10 Favorite Public Fail Clips

EDGE READ TIME: 1 MIN.

It's been 11 years since Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" during the halftime show of Super Bowl XVIII made TV history. The incident, soon to be dubbed "Nipplegate," was viewed by a worldwide audience of over 140 million, spurred a surge in sales for TiVo and was the impetus for the launch of YouTube: The viral video was born.

Thanks to YouTube, and the subsequent birth of Facebook, the years since "Nipplegate" have been populated with an almost endless stream of online video clips documenting life's most embarrassing moments.
