Jimmy Fallon’s hashtag game is one of the delights of the internet, especially during these trying times. We love to play along, to make each other laugh, and maybe to get five minutes of fame on television in the process.
Here are 12 pretty hilarious replies to the hashtag #HowIGotBusted.
12. As a writer, I feel this.
I can’t believe it didn’t work, actually.
My friend once tried to write off hiking boots as a business expense because sometimes he “gets ideas on hikes.” #IGotBusted

11. Best excuse in the book.
Good thing he was a fan.
I was dressed as Marty McFly for halloween, decided to skateboard to a party. grabbed onto a car and rode a few blocks. got pulled over by a cop. pointed out I was Marty McFly. Cop laughed, and let me go. #igotbusted

10. This is such a big tell.
I love it so much.
When I was 8, I was kissing the doorframe and asked it when it wanted to get married (I was pretending it was one of the NKOTB) my mom was watching. #igotbusted

9. Pics so it definitely happened.
Her friends will never let her forget this.
I was taught a trick by uni friends where you take a few steps back from a wall, put your head against the wall and attempt to stand back up with a chair against your chest…I was caught, very stuck and struggling to get up. #IGotBusted pic.twitter.com/ouSxyfk7I5

8. No one was really mad, though.
Don’t try to tell me they were.
I was in school and was trying to watch a #BTS video in class, my headphones weren’t connected and everyone heard Jin say “I’m worldwide handsome” everyone turned to me including the teacher… #igotbusted

7. Should have leaned into that.
No one was buying the excuse.
I got caught playing air guitar by myself and I had to pretend I was brushing lint off my shirt. #IGotBusted

6. Talk about whistling past the graveyard.
I’ll show myself out.
#IGotBusted in a cemetery. I dig graves. Funeral was over and I was closing the grave with Spotify playing through my truck speakers. Family of the deceased came back out and like clockwork “Another One Bites the Dust” came up on my Spotify. Looks were exchanged. #professional

5. Got what she deserves, that one.
No one in that house actually drinks, I guess.
When I was in high school I’d drink my folks vodka and water it down. Flash forward 25 years later when I poured myself a shot of vodka at their house. It was still the water downed version from years before #igotbusted

4. That’s sooooo awkward.
I’m cringing secondhand.
For awhile I didn’t know that if you logged into your gmail account on someone else’s phone Google saves your search history on that device until you log out #IGotBusted

3. There’s no getting out of that one.
Just take your licks.
When I was a teen, I tried to sneak out of the house late one night. I accidentally rang the doorbell on my way out.#igotbusted

2. Oh man she knew immediately.
Teachers live for these moments.
I once signed my Mom’s name on a school paper I didnt want her to see. The teacher asked me why it looked so bad…. I told her she signed it going over the railroad tracks. #IGotBusted

1. I don’t know how uncomfortable to be about this.
More context, please.
When I was 13 I used to put my mom’s fancy dresses and sing Celine Dion out loud (and flat) in my bedroom, only to one day notice a huge crowd of construction workers watching me through my window at their lunch time at the other side of the street. #IGotBusted
