The 5 weirdest and wildest stunts crowned by Guinness World Records this year

It’s getting weirder by the year.

Guinness World Records revealed its weirdest and wildest stunts of 2024 ahead of its 70th anniversary in its latest 2025 book edition. These included a teenager with enormous feet, an obscene amount of squish mallows, and impressive tricks performed by dogs.

Largest hands on a teenager and largest feet on a teenager

Meet Eric, the 16-year-old from Michigan, who has the largest hands and feet of any teenager. Unlike the average man who wears sizes between 9 and 12, according to Healthline, Eric wears a size 23. Although he has been able to find his rare shoe size, he struggles to find gloves that fit his larger-than-life hands.

“It can be hard to deal with people staring or asking questions at times, but it gives you more opportunity to meet really great people,” Eric told Guinness World Records.

From a young age, Eric knew he was different from his peers. He was always the largest and tallest in the classroom, but his family helped him accept his size.

“It is okay to stand out,” Eric declared.

Most dog tricks performed under a time restraint

Bonnie and Simba, two pooches from the United Kingdom, claimed the record for most dog tricks performed under a time constraint.

The hounds hold several records for their paw-some tricks for the fastest time to complete 10 side leapfrog jumps by two dogs in 16.78 seconds.

They also hold the number of bottles deposited into a recycling bin by a dog in one minute, which is 16, and the number of coins, 13, deposited into a bottle by a dog in one minute.

Last but not least, Bonnie and Simba hold the record for the most clothes hung on a washing line by a dog in one minute, with 17 items.

Largest collection of Squishmallows

Sabrina Dausman, 27, from Illinois, has a collection of 1,528 Squishmallows, earning the title of the largest collection owner in the world.

Her infatuation with the plush toys started in 2018 when she spotted “Fern the Valentine’s Fox” at Walmart.

“It was just meant for me to collect them!” Dausman confessed.

The Squishmallows collector plans to continue collecting the plush pillows and creating her own custom Squishmallows in the near future.

Heaviest single repetition weighted pull up in a wheelchair 

Adnan Almousa Alfermli, 25, from Syria, was crowned the heaviest single-repeat weighted pull-up in a wheelchair. The record holder lifted 71.8 pounds while seated in his wheelchair.

Most backside 540 skateboard tricks in one minute

Ema Kawakami, 9, reigned supreme with the most backside 540 skateboard tricks in one minute. The Japanese skateboarder nailed 13 tricks within 60 seconds.

Guinness World Records 2025 edition, released on September 12, has a lengthy list of record-breaking achievements that expand beyond skateboard tricks and massive collectibles. These include 2,115 records, such as the most backward walkovers in 30 seconds, the tallest Gundam costume, the largest electric toothbrush, the most magic tricks performed in one minute, and the largest collection of whacky vehicles in a museum.

“Over the past year, we’ve reviewed nearly 30,000 applications, and the result is a book packed with thousands of awesome facts and feats for the whole family to enjoy,” Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records, said in a statement.
