FOX drama 9-1-1 is the show that has everyone talking thanks to some truly wacky and weirdly wonderful moments.
Following the lives of Los Angeles first responders, the series is now on its fifth season and follows Captain Bobby Nash and the 118 – Buck, Eddie, Hen, and Chimney – as they respond to emergencies with the help of LAPD patrol sergeant Athena, and 911 operator Maddie.
First responders see a lot – but the 118 seems to get some of the strangest call-outs ever. Keep reading for seven of the wackiest…
YouTubers cementing a microwave to their head
Just when you think YouTube pranks can’t get any worse, the 9-1-1 writers find something even more dangerous. In season three, the crew of the 118 are called to the home of a group of YouTubers who decided to
The call goes horribly wrong though when the friend panics and falls into the swimming pool, leaving the 118 having to dive in to save him – and risk injury by using a sledgehammer to crack open the cement. Oh yes – and the YouTubers film the entire thing. No prizes for guessing where Captain Bobby Nash throws the phone…
The woman stuck in the bathroom window
You may have heard the true story of the woman in Bristol, England, who found herself stuck in her date’s bathroom after an awkward toilet situation. The writers of 9-1-1 were clearly inspired as they took that exact scenario and played it out on screen, and it’s just as cringe-worthy watching it on screen as it is reading about it. And why firefighter Buck brings it up on a date later in the show, we’ll never know…
The stiletto in the face
Beauty pageants aren’t all glitter and smiles – they’re a cutthroat business, and the 9-1-1 crew knows it. In one scene in early season two, the 118 is called to a pageant where two moms have fought and a stiletto has ended up through another woman’s face.
What makes this scene even more deliciously crazy is Buck, Eddie and paramedic Hen are also high on dosed brownies – and those tiny pageant queens are terrifying.
