The 10 Funniest Guinness World Records Ever (We’re Still Cackling)

These Guinness records are so chaotic-funny, you’ll binge-read till the end—trust us, you DO NOT wanna skip a single one!
#10. Smallest Waist in the World


American Cathie Jung has the tiniest waist on the planet—no cap. When she’s rocking a corset, it’s just 38.1 cm around; even without one, it’s only 53.34 cm. To keep that tiny waist, she’s worn a corset 23 hours a day since 1983 (she only takes it off to shower!). Her dedication? Next-level. And it paid off—she’s the undisputed record-holder.

#9. Strongest Biceps (Apple-Crushing Edition)


Australian Drew Mitchell’s biceps are low-key made of steel—and he proved it big time in 2016. He hopped into a Guinness challenge and crushed 14 whole apples with his guns in just one minute. Every last apple turned to pulp, and his arm strength? Straight-up mind-blowing. Unsurprisingly, he walked away with the W (and the record).

#8. Most Plastic Surgeries Ever


American Cindy Jackson is obsessed with perfection—and she’s gone to *extreme* lengths to get it. Since 1988, she’s racked up a total of 47 plastic surgeries, including 9 major full-body ops. We’re talking face, limbs, the works—she wanted her “ideal look,” and now she’s the reigning queen of most plastic surgeries ever.

#7. Largest Scorpion Held in the Mouth


In 2000, American Dean Shelton pulled off a stunt that’ll make your skin crawl (in the worst way). He grabbed a live scorpion (17.78 cm long, for the details nerds) and held it in his mouth for a full 18 seconds. Dude stayed totally calm—no panicking, no flinching. Safe to say, his bravery (or straight-up chaos?) earned him this wild record.

#6. Most People Stuffed in a Car


Back in 2015, 41 students from Siberian Federal University decided to test the ultimate car-stuffing challenge: how many people can fit in a single Toyota Rav4? Spoiler alert—they crushed it! All 41 squeezed into the ride in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, held steady long enough to lock in the record, and let’s be real, the whole vibe was chaotic in the best possible way.

#5. Most Snails on a Face


In 2007, 11-year-old Finn Keller had more guts than most adults. He joined a challenge to see how many snails could hang out on his face—and managed to get 43 of them to stick around for 10 seconds. That beat the old record of 36, making him one of the youngest (and funniest) record-holders ever. Respect, kid.

#4. Longest Time Survived Trapped Underground


In 2010, a collapse at Chile’s San José Mine trapped 32 Chilean miners and 1 Bolivian miner 688 meters underground. It was a total nightmare—terrible conditions, barely any supplies—but these guys refused to throw in the towel. With a little help from rescuers above, they survived 69 days before being saved. This isn’t just a record; it’s a straight-up survival miracle.

#3. Farthest Eyeballs Popped Out


American Kim Goodman has a super weird (but low-key impressive?) talent—she can pop her eyeballs out of her sockets. Back in 2007, she had it measured in Istanbul, Turkey, and turns out, her eyeballs stick out 12 mm past her eye sockets. That’s more than enough to land her the Guinness record for farthest eyeballs popped out. Wild, right?

#2. Fastest Time to Eat Cockroaches


In 2001, British retired rat-catcher and performer Ken Edwards took on a challenge that’ll make you gag (you’ve been warned). He chowed down on 36 cockroaches in just one minute—no hesitation, no slowing down. His “hardcore” move broke the world record, and he’s still known as the fastest cockroach-eater ever. Yikes, that’s a title no one asked for.

#1. Loudest Burp of All Time


In 2009, British legend Paul “Burp King” Hunn let out a burp that could be heard from across the room (and then some). Clocking in at 109.9 decibels, it’s louder than a full-size orchestra playing at max volume. Unsurprisingly, this epic burp earned him the Guinness record for the loudest burp ever. Long live the Burp King—our chaotic hero!
