It’s never a good idea to gloat.

And it’s really never a good idea to gloat or celebrate anything too early because if it backfires and ends up going south, well, you’re just gonna look like a big DUMMY.

And no one wants that…know what I’m saying?

Let’s all look at these important examples of “premature celebration”. I think we can all learn a few lessons here.

You may proceed…

1. I like how he’s broadcasting this to the world.

Dude, get a grip…Actually don’t, this is pretty entertaining.

2. That didn’t end well.

Nice effort, though…

3. Sorry to hear about Bill.

He’s definitely NOT alive and kicking anymore.

4. Are you sure about that?

Okay, if you say so…

5. You spoke too soon, Toronto Blue Jays.

Not a good look, guys.

6. I don’t think that’s true at all!

It sure sounds good, though.

7. Don’t start the party just yet.

But hopefully we can all do this sooner than later…

8. Poor John Scripps, he didn’t know what was coming.

Well, ain’t that just the darndest thing…?

9. I was just kidding! I swear!

Always make sure the paperwork goes through BEFORE you quit your job.

10. Poor England fans, they just can’t catch a break.

Maybe sometime in the next 50 years they’ll get lucky…

11. Was everyone really getting hilariously rich?

Sounds a little bit fishy to me…

12. This is why I don’t watch the NFL.

I don’t want to see a choreographed dance routine after every single play.

13. Why are you leaving Netflix for Blockbuster?

Okay, maybe not…

How about you?

Have you ever celebrated too early and then felt like a dummy?
