Year: 2008

There's nothing more embarrassing than having your marriage proposal in front of thousands of eyes. We can't help but feel bad for the guy who attempted this at an '08 Rockets game.

Eminem made an appearance during halftime of an ESPN telecast of Michigan vs. Notre Dame to promote his video for his single "Berzerk." Em seemed to be in a daze after the showing and missed some questions from Brent Musburger at the beginning. It's an interview that's pretty funny, awkward, and random all at the same time.

We share the same shock and disbelief that Jeff Van Gundy showed watching the clip. Oklahoma City Thunder mascot Rumble the Bison fails to connect on this high-flying stunt which is such a big disappointment. It's what he gets paid to do.

Damn, homie landed on his neck. Luckily that BMX biker was okay and able to make it back in one piece.

When watching someone dunk off of a trampoline we expect to see some crazy acrobatics, but we never expect to see someone sky so high that they actually put their whole body through the hoop. How many points does that count for?

Year: 2007

WTF? Was this planned? Did the dunker not see the cheerleaders? We need answers.

Phil Mickelson had the chance to earn $1 million dollars for a non-profit organization that provides new books for children in need. All he had to do was hit a golf ball from one end zone to another. The Halftime spectacle during a Monday Night Football game between the Broncos and Chargers turned sour when the pro golfer Mickelson failed to hit the target. At least Mickelson got $50,000 just for the attempt.

One lucky fan at a Hawks game turned out to be not so lucky. We hope he got another chance. That's not fair.

It's hard enough to stick the landing in one of these BMX bike tricks. One rider unfortunately takes a hard spill, but no harm, no foul. That's the way it goes in struggle Arena football league halftime shows.

Year: 2004

This unfortunate highlight is infamous and changed the way that Super Bowl Halftime shows are conceptualized. Jackson's "Nipplegate" accident on stage led to an embarrassing moment for the NFL and CBS. We would suffer through relatively safe choices of rock bands like The Who and The Rolling Stones for six years.

Year: 2012

Who knew that a simple finger could cause so many problems? M.I.A. dropped a middle finger during her performance in Madonna's halftime show for Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. Madonna wasn't happy about it and everyone was outraged. The NFL even sued M.I.A. for $1.5 million over the finger. Of course, M.I.A. responded towards the suit. Can't we all just get along?

Holy shit. Peep how he just put his face in his hands and took the walk of shame. He should be banned from every basketball court in the nation.

You might've thought this was the first date with that awkward placement of the arm around the shoulder. You think Sarah Kustock took that job with the Brooklyn Nets and the YES Network to get away from her No. 1 "fan?"

Year: 2012

This video of an overweight fan attempting to jump on a trampoline for a dunk is pretty hilarious stuff. It being set to R.Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" makes it even a better viewing experience. And the Oscar for best soundtrack goes to...

Year: 2011

OMG. Is he serious? We would've just walked out of the gym and went home. He didn't make one shot. Not one.
