What are some of the most memorable funny GoFundMe stories?

There was a student who started a GoFundMe to get out of doing their final exams. They made this comical video explaining all the reasons why they thought exams were unfair and that instead of studying, they should be allowed to just graduate. While they didn't get enough money to actually skip the exams, it was a really funny and creative attempt that got shared a lot.

A group of friends set up a GoFundMe to create a 'Museum of Useless Inventions'. They had some really strange and funny ideas for exhibits, like a self - stirring coffee mug with a built - in fan to cool the coffee at the same time. They shared these ideas on the GoFundMe page, and it got funded because people thought it was such a creative and funny concept.

Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.

One of the most successful GoFundMe stories is that of the family who needed funds for their child's life - saving medical treatment. People from all over the world donated, and they managed to raise enough money in time. Another is a community - led project to restore an old historical building. The local community was passionate about it and through GoFundMe, they got the necessary funds. And there was also a story about a young entrepreneur who had a great business idea but lacked capital. His GoFundMe campaign went viral and he got the funds to start his business.

There was a GoFundMe for a community garden project that had some funny moments. The organizer accidentally ordered way too many seeds of a particular type, like thousands more than they needed. They made a funny video about it for the GoFundMe page, asking for a bit more money to get more soil to plant all those extra seeds. People loved the honesty and the humor and contributed more.

In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.

One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.

Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.

I heard of a preacher who was preaching on forgiveness. He told the story of a man who forgave his enemy but in the middle of it, he forgot the name of the main character in the story and just stood there stammering for a bit until someone in the congregation whispered the name to him. It was quite a funny moment.

I remember a story where a TFL train had some technical problems and stopped in between stations. While waiting for the engineers to fix it, the passengers started sharing their life stories. One man told a really long and outlandish story about how he once met a famous movie star in a very strange situation. Everyone was laughing so hard that they almost didn't notice when the train started moving again. There was also a case where a TFL worker accidentally painted a smiley face on a bus stop sign instead of the normal markings, and it became an unexpected tourist attraction for a while.
