Since no Taft-size basin could be found, a Manhattan company specially crafted the largest solid porcelain tub ever made for an individual. It was more than seven feet long, 41 inches wide and weighed a tonliterally. A photograph in the February 1909 issue of the journal Engineering Review showed the pond-like presidential bathtub with four men sitting comfortably in-side.

So while he didn't get stuck in the bathtub, he was too fat for the one they had, and had to get one custom-made. And I worded the poll option carefully to account for that!

<quote>Taft getting stuck in a bathtub is urban legend, it was likely made up</quote>I did the research, found this:

The funny part is that while Taft was president, the White House got a tub that was so big a president couldnt possibly get stuck in it, Carlson says. Indeed, just weeks after Tafts 1908 election, the captain of a warship carrying the president-elect to inspect the Panama Canal re-quested a super-sized bathtub capable of holding the heftiest man ever to occupy the Oval Office.

Surprised the Biden stairs only has 2 votes. It might not be the funniest on its own, but by virtue of it being the most recent in the internet era, it has been edited into meme videos and gifs a lot more than the other 8.

I've legit never heard of this one and if it turned into a meme it'd be too appropriated by conservatives to be funny

Bush dodging shoes was one of the earliest internet viral videos made after youtube

Maybe Trump walking up the stairs to AF1 with the TP stuck to his shoe was more cartoonish? Or his hair getting blown back in the wind a few times, as mentioned earlier.

I do appreciate the rhythm to the Biden staircase, because he slips, catches himself, only to slip twice more.

Gerald Ford took a real fall, though, so that's the superior staircase slip.
