In 2011, an estimated 3.1 million young adults will climb the precipitous bleacher steps to adulthood by graduating from high school. Unfortunately, that means there are at least 3.1 million opportunities for center-stage embarrassment as teachers, friends, and relatives look on in horror (or, in many cases, laughter).

Take floor-length gowns, pressure to impress, and auditoriums full of rolling camcorders, and you've got a recipe for some awesome graduation fails. Below we compiled 23 of the most epic commencement disasters the web has to offer. Have a graduation fail of your own that hasn't made its way to YouTube? Tell us about it in the comments.

Please stop using the word "EPIC" on things so trivial. Especially if they're obviously fake.

How about this for a fail. I have three kids and they all graduated college and all had their surname pronounced wrongly by the person reading it out. It only has 5 letters!

They would have been funnier if there weren't so many obviously fake ones.

Eh...How many pratfalls are really necessary? Unless someone takes out half the orchestra with him when he falls then I dont care. Probably all planned. Theres always THAT guy/girl.

I quit watching at 15. Most of them were obviously planned.

Too many of them are fake.

After watching the first five besotted youths fake a fall, it got very tiresome. The boy who attempted the somersault was the best, because at least he tried something original.

The fake/stage­d ones were easy to spot and became annoying really fast. Most all of them after the fourth or fifth videos was fake. The first two were the best.

I like how the girl in the second one snaps back up to raucous cheers. Perfect.

Probably the first time many of those kids have had on dress shoes in their lives.

awwww so sorry to see that. This is a lifetime memory and it's on tape.

On the bright side, at least you have your diploma
