This is a question Real-life slapstick

Fact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.

Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

Play her off, Rod Stewart
just over six years ago my (now ex) girlfriend had a birthday party for herself in her flat. we had only been seeing each other a few months and she hadn't met most of my friends so she said to invite along who she should get to know.
so on the night quite a few of my friends came along and everyone gets along fine, and everyone gets real properly merry and full of booze and other things. my friend Roslyn, however, true to her style, got rather wasted rather faster then the rest of us. this was nothing new so we allowed her to stagger about wildly, slurring her speech, and suffered her being a drunken pest.
and then it happened, around 1am, a quick flurry of slapstick gold. Roslyn, in the living room, while trying to get out some recognisable words to my friend Ewan, lost her balance and did one of those half fall half run manouvers, u know when a person scurries along at a 45 degree angle? well she did this towards the record dex that were set up on a knee high coffee table infront of the living room bay window. she tried to prevent her fall by putting her hand on the left record deck but she put her hand on the spinning record which gave her just enough more momentum for her to fly forward a little bit more and half fall out the open window in front of her. the record that was playing was Rod Stewart's greatest hits and the song playing as Roslyn struck was Maggie May, but her hitting the record caused it to jump straight into the chorus of Do You Think I'm Sexy. so theres Roslyn, all thats visible of her is her ass and legs dangling in the window and a room full of people crying with laughter to the soundtrack of Rod Stewarts cringe-worthy disco anthem.

what i should also mention is that my girlfriend then stayed on the third floor of a tenement building. a few weeks previous to this the council started putting in double glazing on the flats that did not have it and scaffolding was set up on the face of the block. had it not been there Roslyn would most certainly have fallen right out.

My friend Ewan still cries with laughter whenever this night is brought up.
