Jimmy Fallon Worst Dates Twitter Hashtag Stories

Skip navigation!

Let's face it; pretty much everyone has been on at least one embarrassing date. But we honestly had no idea this many people would feel comfortable sharing their nightmarish stories with millions of Twitter users.

On Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon tweeted a message to his fans asking them to share their most horrible, messy, and hilariously bad first date stories using the hashtag #MyWorstDate with the promise that some of the best responses would air on The Tonight Show.

Here's the call to action:

Hashtag game! Tweet out a funny or embarrassing thing that happened to you on a date and tag it with #MyWorstDate. Could be on the show!
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) May 24, 2017

To kick things off, Fallon even shared one of his own personal dating faux pas.

I was so clueless on a date with this girl, I served saltine crackers and made her play Mario Kart with me. #MyWorstDate

Honestly, that doesn't sound all that bad to us, but you get where he was going with the request.

Fallon's tweet received approximately 1,000 direct responses, and a quick click on the hashtag shows that what seems like thousands others contributed as well. Some of the tweets were completely relatable — the date constantly talked about an ex, there wasn't any chemistry, the date refused to pay the bill, etc.

But for others, the late show host's prompt drove them to reveal their freakiest, weirdest, and downright most disgusting stories.

Take a look below at some of the funniest and most cringeworthy tweets we could find:

And, we thought Q-tips were bad!

Yeah, this is definitely worse than face-planting on the dance floor.

@jimmyfallon My date saw I was wearing a Superman ring so he drew a flowchart on a napkin & ranted for 40mins about why Batman was better #MyWorstDate

Ah, yes, it couldn't be a story about terrible dates without some good old-fashioned mansplaining.

@jimmyfallon He VERY OBVIOUSLY pooped in his pants & tried to play off needing to leave by saying he had a sudden conference call in China. #MyWorstDate

What a sh*tty situation. Sorry, had to do it.

@jimmyfallon #MyWorstDate I went to a water park and really had to pee but my date made me ride a jumbo waterslide with him anyway and I peed on him

Nooooo! (And, yes, there were A LOT of bathroom-related stories.)

@jimmyfallon His wife showed up then burned his car outside, I shouldn't of ordered the Creme Brule #MyWorstDate she was our waitress ?

We have a feeling the crème brûlée wasn't the issue.

Fear Factor is real, people.
