15 Of The Maddest 'Madlads' Around

Madlads are some of the most memorable characters online. They are real people who have done some completely nonsensical yet daring things. We're honestly not sure what most of them were trying to accomplish with these strange acts, but now they've been documented online for all of us to see and be inspired by. We're definitely not recommending you follow in these people's footsteps, but they still deserve to be appreciated from a distance, because the rest of us won't risk jail time to do something so incredibly stupid with our free time.

Thanks to /r/madlads on Reddit, we've got some entertaining images of people acting out in some of the most creative ways. Some of them are harmless, some are completely benevolent, and others are actually breaking the law even though they're only doing it for the dumbest possible reasons. Here are some of the maddest lads we've seen online in a long time.
