"Madlad," or "mad lad," is a term frequently used in posts and memes to describe someone irresponsibly brave. Often, this bold move comes in the form of a questionable social media comment or a truly weird YouTube video no one asked for, but somehow no one could ignore.

They're not always genuine madlads, and sometimes the term is used more ironically. These can be just as funny (or even funnier) than the real things.

However, there's still a lot of actual madlads in the wild, and we've found some of our favorites, as well as our best picks for ironic madlads. Both of them are formidable characters we wouldn't want to meet in a fight. From calling out big brands on Twitter to publicly shaming themselves to prove a point, they've got some serious skills (or lack thereof) that we can admire.

These are some of the funniest examples in recent days of "absolute madlads" caught in the wild.
