Michael Jackson's 1984 Pepsi Commercial Disaster In Which His Hair Caught on Fire

[robtru84]

i was a few weeks old when this happened

[Dadsgirl240]

Aww... :'(

Poor baby... that burned his entire head.. :(

[Tabbykitten7]

OMG...... this is creepy! Poor Mike!!! I didn't know they had this on film. It's horrible to see. :(

[SoSketchySkater]

MJ!

[bzium77]

I LOVE MICHAEL !

RIP...

don`t forget you...

[patchlindy]

That is frightening. It must have hurt terribly. 2nd degree burns are very painful, and 3rd degrees, though not painful because they are deep enough to damage the nerves, but are still very serious requiring skin grafts.

[wwefanlover316]

I feel so bad for him. Poor Michael

RIP Michael Jackson

king of pop

[lpatron]

omg! poor Michael! I feel so bad for him!

[SaturnEclipseX]

RIP Micheal Jackson

[AislingandSeanna]

wow crud 24 ? did he lose his hair premately ?

[BigT8943]

When he died he was completely bald and wore a wig, but I'm not sure if this is when he lost his hair or not.

[kweer58]

Good grief. I remember see some fuzzy pictures of the incident when it happened 25 years ago. I guess I did not realize how bad it was. As I recall, the hair dressing he used contributed to the flame.

[Jade5034]

i feel so sorry for him!that's y he had to change his skin tone by the burnt marks on his cheeks and ears.

[crud24]

wow he lost his hair. that is so sad

[enj1921]

hey micheal is so kewl how did he put the fire out with a spin that was cool rip MJ wait for me in heaven then u can teach me to DO THE SMOOTH CRIMINAL

[tc1261]

You got that right..how kewl is it that MJ could help put the fire out with a spin?! Too kewl. I remember this incident quite well and I never saw this footage before. So sad. And, I do think that MJ's curl activator probably helped accelerate the burning process, unfortunately. That stuff is so flammable.

[BenjaminJackson66]

c horible ce qui lui est arrivé,et malgré tout en sortant de scene sur un brancar il a demandé a porter son gant,quel geni qu'il est,je l'aime cet homme

[pinkrandomer]

OMG!! rip MJ

[enj0ythesiIence]

This makes me so sad. RIP MJ <3

[MingtheCat1]

Poor Michael...

[SetiRabbit]

lesson learned: lay off the soul glow!

[Katherine3245]

w0w, how can yall say such horrible things about the greatest singer in the HIStory of the world? and how do u kno if michael was wearin a bra? there are only 2 ways u would kno that.

1. he told u or

2. u snuck into his house 2 see wat he was wearin at that time.

"be4 u judge me, try hard 2 love me" -Michael Jackson

he is probably lookin down on u very sadly right now.....R.I.P Michael

[ebila2000]

That is really messed up

[toiletpooproductions]

y would he say he was ugly? :(

to me he was VERY sexy!!!

I love you Michael Jackson

wait for me in heaven and

we'll get married!! I love you so

much!! A MILLION HUGS AND KISSES!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO­XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO­XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO­XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO­XOXOXO.....AND SO ON!! <3

[jamie1236543]

thats so sad

[coine3]

I have it on good authority that MJ was wearing a bra when he died. A bra.

[ac120479]

That is why he went through plastic surgery. This was shown in his biographical video and Michael said, "No, I'm ugly, I'm ugly!"

Really sad turn of events. :(

[gerrybhoy1916]

fuckin class man :))

[Dilawar808]

Divachan, u are one retarded asshole

[thesunfiredblanks]

ummm michael jackson was wearing a bra when he died.

[lalliiie]

thats awful i feel so bad for him not that i went against him in his life cause i didn't i would never do that i love michael jackson and always will but what did he do to deserve all this crap from people he was inoccent and did nothing wrong that fire must have been so f ing painful i know it would be but it didn't stop him from doing his moonwalk and his spins and all his other great moves which was a good thing man things are going to be weird without Michael Jackson R.I.P MJ xxxxxx LY xxxx

[VeryAmpersand]

it's called punctuation.

[reptilestongue]

I dont know who you are, but seeing that you said this, im going to bet that you are a skank >:3

[dismildemjonseltay]

he had a difficult life

[freem27723]

What a fucking loser. Only a sick and twisted asshole celebrates anyones death. If you dont like him or his music, then fine but what did he ever do to you for you to hate him that much. I'll jump for joy when your mom dies bitch. Or maybe she is already dead. You see, that is wrong because I dont even know you or your mom. Apparently she didnt raise you right. Get a life and stop posting negative comments.

[tsuber47]

you are a real piece of shit a-hole pbuka

[pistolwhip789]

Bet you dont, douchebag

[BurningCrayon]

Wow , your one fucked up person

[sexylatino03]

AND SHE IS FUCKING PSYCHO

[sexylatino03]

DIVA BITCH BLOWS BIG DICKS

[pprnpom]

Ohh

[pprnpom]

My Godd

[KingDan05]

fuk u

[vanilladub]

And that my friends is why Coke-cola pwns Pepsi's cheap unoriginal ass

[gatayrafa]

Wow! It's true! That must have been so painful and left a ton of scars.

[KidsWithGuns1992]

What a nice guy for not suing them.

Mind you I would of, shit MJ was mostly bald for the rest of his life cause of that shit.

[bizzybozzy1]

any other person would've sued...honestly..

[DiimondK]

OMG..... Thats not even funny... Michael everyone should now understand why you did everything you did. If I was burned like that I KNOW i would need pain killers. We love you RIP! :)

[redXtacy]

lol he was dancing even tho he was on fire!!

[thickmissez22]

Poor thing. He has been through so much in his life.

[starting2win]

that isnt even funny. he was scalded and got third degree burns. whoever laughs at that i hope it happens to you.

[whitenubian]

it was funny

and for saying to get burns i hope you burn alive

[Allhoney33]

I feel really sorry for MJ. I can't imagine not being able to do simple things like go shopping without people invading your privacy. I can't imagine what life would have been like without being able to enjoy my childhood which I cherished so deeply. Having said that, he really didn't make it easy by changing his appearance. I mean when you do something like that, of course it'll cause a stir and you will get ostracized. May he RIP though!

[rumblin35]

Syrennia.......who did pay for Elvis's memorial? His bank account did!!!! Get a life and no I am not a racist. If you read other comments, I did state that MJ was talented........just different.

[rumblin35]

Syrennial.....or should I say senial.....Elvis and Frank were not my idols. Hell, they never did anything for me. How did those 2 songs change your life? If a song changes your life, then obviously you never had one!!!

[howayman23]

gooodd video great comedy

[howayman23]

burn baby burn

[breakthebeast]

thats why i dont drink pepsi

Coke FTW

[lastride29]

yess coke is wa better

[dibdabson]

did he die?

[Dima3335]

Yes 1 month ago...

[Appclypse]

tell me you aren't seriously that fucking dumb

[Appclypse]

me or dibdabson?

[whitenubian]

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

NEXT PLEASE!

[blaz598]

shut up

[whitenubian]

hahaha

[dibdabson]

i guess you havent logged on to the failblog channel

[jaspershr]

this is soo scary!!

[ashleybadash]

whoever filmed this was bogus for not warning him about the fire when it was smaller... they let him go down those stairs... all that way....

[ezhacker2]

you gotta give him props man he tried to dance it off :| must of sucked and how ironic it was when it was the 6th take....

[instantno0dle]

lmao...

RIP king of pop

[EverWinterNights]

his hair caught on fire because he uses a shitload of stylers and flammable sprays.

[kairitootie25]

dang

he didn't even much feel it until like a few seconds later

that's oh so gay

RIP MJ

[hobocreep]

oww

rest

in

pain of 2nd and 3rd degree burns michael you were so good in thriller, what happened?

[LovedontHate2297]

i feel so bad

[manutd7tt]

WGWStopmotion cardiac arrest isnt a disease it is an incredibly serious heart attack

[WGWStopmotion]

i never said anything about cardiac arrest being a disease

[manudsupporter777]

u were saying it like it was a disease like if he had arthritus u wud say 'he died of arthritus' u wouldnt say he died of heart attack which is what it is

[coogiszk]

it was cardiac arrest, heart attakk is diff...

[manudsupporter777]

a cardiac arrest is like a heart attack, if u hav a cardiac arrest their is sumat rong wit ur heart

[wanderingchild09]

Cardiac Arrest is not a heart attack...

A heart attack occurs when there is a blockage in the veins or arteries in the heart. Cardiac Arrest is when the heart either stops all together or flutters in the chest, unable to pump blood through the rest of the body, and eventually it stops.

[ForgottenSoul700]

Aww, poor babe.

[tinkerallday]

you can tell he the best when his hair is still on fire and he keep dancing anyways.

[Revolver8566]

dont waste your breath.

its always easy fr people to talk about others when they arent here on earth to defend themselves

[mikej2004]

Hooooly crap people. Ok, listen up. CARDIAC ARREST IS NOT A DISEASE!!! Everyone talks about it like, "oh , Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest, not drugs." NO!! You die of overdose, cancer, being mauled by a tiger, that LEADS to eventual cardiac arrest. It is an EVENT, not a disease! It is the cessation of a heart beat and respirations!! This goes for you, WGWStopmotion...

[77lala777]

Please stop fighting, let us honour the people we loved whom passed away, and remember!

WE MIGHT HAVE LOST AN HERO, BUT WE GAINED A ANGEL

[jerritopia]

and u ppll kno if he wasnt dead u wud probably laugh i am one of his biggest fan but i kno mj wud probably laugh at some things that seemed sad but he knows he in a better place i wud never be racist but ill admit i thought sumtimes he spent money on dumb things but he wasnt broke they found bags of money just cuz he didnt have neverland ranch anymore that was a big ass funeral did u watch that shit it was so fuckin nice i want a funeral like that wit a candle light thing

[Casey5693]

Poor guy.

[Trashon21]

THAT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE!!!4 ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HATE MJ GO TO HELL BCUZ UR JUST JEALOUS THAT HE WAS THE HIGHEST PAID CELEBRITY THAT EVER LIVED.PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE HIM BCUZ HE WAS SO RICH AND FAMOUS.IF HE WAS SUCH A DAM RAPIST WHY DIDNT HE RAPE HIS OWN KIDS?MJ WAS THE BEST HE BEAT ELVIS PREASLEY AND ALOT MORE. AS LONG AS HE WAS DISHIN OUT HIS MONEY TOO ALL YALL HATERS YALL WERE HAPPY BUT NOW U WANNA KEEP SHIT GOIN.hE WA JUST BEING HIMSELF AND 4 PEOPL WHO SAID HE WAS BROKE... LOL HE LAUGHED AT YA!!

[Barnakos]

Yeah that was on purpose.... as well as Elvis's death, challenger, hindenburg, and world war II ..... Listen kid, try to make some sense next time, youre wasting internet space

[gangstamike15]

his hair caught fire and what did he do? he spun around as if doing his signature move. haha sorry to laugh but it's like his defense mechanism is still dancing :p i clearly remember that sega game of his :D

[Factzxx]

I love how he continues to dance after it...

[Revolver8566]

he almost looked unaware of it for the 1st few seconds

[jerritopia]

i noticed that 2 but wen he spinned the flames were gone

[tracetracii88]

watching this breaks my heart =(

[rumblin35]

To all of the MJ worshippers out there. Other than sing great songs in a great era...what did MJ do to you directly that changed your lives? Why was he your idol? Did he know you personally? Why mourn for so long? You folks are the ones who need to get a life.....not the ones who think, Wow..MJ is dead...sad....did not affect me personally...so thanks for that.

[LouiseRose59]

You people disgust me. How would you like it you had a hole in your 'fro!

[rumblin35]

LouiseRose59........I do not know how I would like it since I do not have a "fro".

[justtemp2007]

does anyone know the exact time this happend?

[boffy09]

egg in the nest at 1:17

[Popchan1011]

Youre right. Great video. 5/5 :)

[devilfighter777]

yeah im gunna go ahead and say "fuck you" to anyone who finds this funny..also..it wasnt meant to be

[rumblin35]

devilfighter777.......I bet there are a number of young boys out there who would disagree with you

[devilfighter777]

i know that..i just think its really disrespectful for ppl to sit there and laugh at somebody who died..im not an "MJ worshipper" or anything..

[reester90]

i dont think it's disrespectful. if someone dies does that mean we can never laugh about anything funny that happened to them again? i hope people can still laugh about me after i die :)

[devilfighter777]

ha you've got a point..i just wouldnt laugh at this particular event because its the event that led to his addiction to pain killers wich led to his death..but everyone has there own opinion..so i guess ill have to take back the f*** you to anyone who found this funny XO

[reester90]

but you're right too. i actually heard about this before and it was funnier than the actual video..... but i think this might be one of those things where in the moment it's not funny but hopefully later on you could laugh about it :) but the fact that it lead to his death isn't funny at all....

[WGWStopmotion]

what are you talking about this had nothing to do with his death he died of cardiac arrest

[mikej2004]

Dude..look at my recent rant...youre killing me...

[zackwhitehouse]

no the perscription drugs that he took after this incident killed him. he became addicted to them and caused his heart to go into cardiac arrest after all the pills

[codebule7]

out of all the stupid comments urs is the correct one

[XxPopogeorgeoxX]

haha its so FUNNY how when his hair first caught fire he didnt noticed and he was still dancing... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA thats funny..hehe ROFLLLLLL ROFFFLLL then he felt the fire and freaked out, thats FUNNY TOO!! HAHAHAHHAHAHA ROFLLLLL LOL ....hehe

[ssobulldog]

Its not that funny,,u tryn to start a flame war or somethin?rollin on the floor laughin,dude u have a very simple sense of humor,the type of a baby. and ive seen babies laughin at nothing but a bowl of fruit,so u are easily entertained by a bowl of fruit,hehe rofl like a tard.btw not a MJ fan.

[ssobulldog]

Well first of all why are u acting so surprised at my comment when well, Look at urs u moron u have ROFLLLL tiped with large frickin letters and HAHAHAAH ROFL everywhere,that clearly means u find this very very funny from my perspective thats how it looks,u resp "u watch babies laugh at bowls of fruit u are sick"are u an idiot?cuz that didnt make any sense maybe u dont speak english as native tongue but still,ur resp was not important to me,but i had to say that u were stupid and made no sense.

[gogofo69]

lol, that was awesome, too bad for the lame eerie backround music, should have played something wacky like off america's funniest home videos

[shahrulezZ]

stupid ASS hole......

u had a mental illness i think.....

[Irisbaby1]

That fuckin sucks!!!! Ouch!!!

[SpursOn3]

to much jerry curl juice

[pinklady2801153]

haha that is one way 2 start off going bald!!! haha!!!

[TheHouseOfHavok]

Brutal. Jackal Mikeson (the post mortem alter ego of MJ) has come to deal with those who made fun of him over the pepsi commercial accident and his nose.

[laureninwonderland1]

..Idiots, there would of been water right near them, they should of put it on Jackon's head! that would of hurt so much for him :( at least he survived that though. wish he didn't die though. it would of been nice if he was at least able to do his concert. rest in peace M.J. if there is somesort of a heaven, i hope you are there, and i hope you're happy.

[matthrms]

you are the epitome of what is wrong with america.

drown in a fire please.

[eman71816]

this made me feel bad for him

i don't even like him

[popperette39]

Why do people get a kick out of bringing this up again. Let the man rest in piece. No wonder he stayed secluded and seemed weird. The press and everyone else couldn't give him time to himself or space to breath. I am so sad for his children wether they are biological or not and so much for his sweet mamma. I hope he is finally at rest. Maybe he will come back as someone who doesn't live in peoples focus. God love you M.J..:)

[WolfsRuleDaWorld]

Micheal was a good man to donate that money to the hospital.

[bKiwiD]

I can't believe some people watching this video are insulting him.

Did you read the description?

In sue-happy America, a man's face and head were lit on fire, giving him second- and third-degree burns, and not only did he NOT sue those responsible, when they gave him money ANYWAY, he DONATED ALL OF IT TO A HOSPITAL.

I'm ashamed that I didn't learn to respect him until after he died.

[Attitudeinc1313]

i agree with you there. he was a generous and really... this word has lost all meaning, but just an Honest man.

then the morbid side of me quips with a quick... "prolly shouldn't of had so much oil/gel in your hair"

[vatosharpei]

Jericurl was like spreading naphalm on your head, no wonder he flamed up.

[dwayneandjamaineshow]

usa will destroy the world, unrelated but true. watch zeigeist.

[xantinia89]

@ rumblin35. Could not agree with you more

[Mahes46]

Pepsi killed michael jackson

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Haha. PWND.

[rumblin35]

Also, I am so sick of hearing about him. Was he a great performer.....yes....talented.­..yes. But give me a break, the guy was a freak. I also can NOT believe that a state (Cal.) about to go bankrupt, helped foot the bill for his "public viewing". What a country we live in. Do the soldiers who die daily protecting us get this type of notice. Unfortunately no.

[mena117]

i totally agree with you

[rumblin35]

thank you....there are some sane people left in this world.

[Dattebayo9000]

Thank you

[rumblin35]

If he didn't have all the Gerry Curl on his head, it never would have happened

[krisa919]

i don't think it's Pepsi's fault; I also believe it's the Gerry Curl's fault 'cause alot of gel is flammable....

[stevo2779]

It looked like the torch from the Olympics

[wud83r4cr]

That's not new stuff, eminem seen it coz he takes the piss out of it in one of his music videos! lmao

[maxineJolly]

its such a shame for him here, that must have really hurt. RIP MJ

[rwinafekoesina]

Oh my gosh, that's horrible. So sad to see this. You can tell by the look on his face, that he was in pain. Michael, no words can express, can say how we miss you so much. Still hard to believe you're gone. Rest in piece. May Allah have your soul...

[simcityfreak]

Poor mj. I hope he is in a better place.

[Dreamking4455]

This may sound cruel or mean but it isnt. But I am glad MJ is dead because this worl did not deserve him and surely did not understand him. The greatest entertainer ever who loved kids equally as he love to perform. I will miss you MJ. Now you hurt now more my friend. RIP!

[sweetbea47]

that is not nean at all but true..i said that too, he was not ready for this world or should i say this world was not ready for a kind loving person like him..as soon as i heard he got burnt, during that pepsi comm. i was like he must've gooten paid, but nope, he gave all the money to the hospital...how sad, people could treat a person like that so horribly.

[bahataCro]

poor Michael, it hurts me seeing this..omg lucky that there were staff around him and saved him.....love you Michael, rest in peace baby :)

[goksu0202]

poor M.J. he hurts really bad, I love you dear rest in peace, some people says its funny, it is not, you fuckers, son of a bitch

[urfacestinks]

who's micheal jackson?

[sweetbea47]

the "KING OF POP", a person, that loved to give, and a person that lived a horrible, live...a miss understood person, i guess.

[AnarchyGuy6]

LMFAO thats funny

[XxXTwilightFan001XxX]

Poor Michael, that had to hurt like crazy :(

That's why he became addicted to meds, he had to take them after this happened then he was hooked :(

[isavemysoul]

What?...Michael Jackson's dead?...When?

[PinoyGamers]

....... It was all over the news..

[xAznyBoix]

lol hes shakes his head like crazy which made the fire go out

THEN people rushed to him and started hitting his head xD

[yakinsaje88]

nice one~ luv u MJ~

[YARP420]

That's absolutely awful!! I can't believe someone released this video!! it's grossly disrespectful especially in light of his tragic death!! Just fucking awful and disrespectful!!! Love u MJ

[jonathon007]

your watching it you hipocritic fuck

[burnout690]

that dude can dance hahahahahahaha

......too soon?

[edgar123654789]

omg....

[Jade5034]

i feel sorry 4 him.that's y he had 2 get plastic surgery,because there were some of the burnt marks on his his ears and cheek.but he still looks good.

[bigscottlarock]

TWO?!? You better add a zero on to that number.

[Jade5034]

wut r u talking about?

[bigscottlarock]

He had waaayyyyyy more than two plastic surgeries done.

[Jade5034]

yah. i already know that.wth?

[Popchan1011]

Wow. Michael must have been really strong to handle thoes burns. I fell sad that he died resently. But I guess everyone dies now ant then.

[dale1966gto]

''everyone dies now ant then''. that's about the most ridiculous thing i've ever hoid. too bad he couldn't do a retake.

ya gotta' admit it's hilarious. something about him prancing and prissing across that stage with his afro-sheen 'do ablaze that's just priceless. luckily for him i think a spin was in the act and cause the flames to go out. someone else said it was the chemicals in the hair straightener that ignited. anyhoo, too bad he couldn't do a retake. that was magnificen..and funny too.

[SayOk77]

haha i know right i was like "when ya gonna notice you're on fire?" it took him forever!

[GangstaVlogger]

Wow

1st
