14 Celebrity World Records You’d Have to Be Impossibly Good or Impressively Bad to Beat
Jackie Chan may just be the most-awarded catering coordinator in cinema history.
Snoop Dogg Holds the World Record for Least Inspired World Record
Before he became the world’s biggest sellout by performing at a fascist regime’s fake money party, he set a record that really lays bare how Guinness is just a marketing firm for hire: “The World’s Largest Paradise Cocktail.” This dipshit dumped 180 bottles of gin into a tub that’s too small to be a dunk tank and accepted an award for it. A true renegade.
The Shortest Concert Ever
In 2007, the surviving members of The Who put on a show in Tampa, Florida that was canceled after 13 seconds because Roger Daltrey had bronchitis.
What’s the Sound of One Millionaire Clapping?
Vanna White makes millions per year on Wheel of Fortune, where she clapped a record 3,721,446 times over the show’s first 41 seasons, the most in recorded history.
Kacey Musgraves’ Weird Coloring Book
Musgraves set the record for “largest display of coloring pages” when she had fans send 1,550 pages from coloring books to the Country Music Hall of Fame, because she wasn’t getting enough attention or something. Tragically, the record was shattered two years later by pop-culture heavy hitter P&G China and Yonghui Superstores.
A Battle for Most Annoying Music Video of All Time
Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” was a smash hit in 2013, and its 24-hour music video was the longest of all time. That is, until 21 Pilots dropped a torturous 177-day, 16-hour, 10-minute and 25-second video in 2020.
You’ve Had Over a Decade to Catch Up to Jackie Chan
Chan has held the record for most stunts by a living actor since 2012. He’s done so much karate, he says he doesn’t even practice specifically for a film anymore, because he is always practicing karate.
And How Many Movie Credits Do You Have?
Chan also holds the most credits in a single movie for 2012’s Chinese Zodiac: writer, director, actor, producer, executive producer, cinematographer, art director, unit production manager, catering coordinator, stuntman, stunt coordinator, gaffer, composer, props and theme tune vocalist.
The Lowest-Selling Number-One Album
In 2019, rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s album Hoodie SZN topped the Billboard charts after selling just 823 copies. A few weeks later he broke his own record at 749.
Grammy Wife, Grammy Life
Beyonce and Jay-Z have a combined 56 Grammys, the most of any married couple. Beyonce is doing the heavy lifting with her 35, making her the most-awarded woman and the most nominated person of all time.
The Rock Couldn’t Keep a Bean Company From Breaking His Dumb Record
He and a team of snack professionals made the world’s largest layered dip in a 100-gallon fish tank in 2017, but Bush’s Beans more than doubled his dip three years later.
He Set a Second, Extremely Self-Indulgent Record
In 2015, he set the record for most selfies taken in three minutes at 105. That record has since been shattered and currently sits at 184.
Tom Cruise’s Extremely Tom Cruise Record
While filming Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, he broke the record for “most burning parachute jumps by an individual” at 16. You promise this is the final reckoning?
Justin Bieber Had the Most Disliked Video in the World
Although he did once have the most liked video channel, his music video for “Baby” had the most dislikes in history at over 12 million. That’s since been surpassed by the Sadak 2 trailer, “Baby Shark” and YouTube’s own “YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind.”
The Lowest-Grossing Film Ever
For weird SAG-related reasons, producers of 2006’s Zyzzyx Road opted for an extremely limited release: a single theater in Dallas, Texas showed the film once a day for six days so that it would then be technically eligible for international release. The film made $30 that week, $10 of which was refunded because the film’s makeup artist bought two tickets.
