The 'Jason Derulo Has Fallen Down The Stairs' meme is a legendary internet hoax that resurfaces during every major red carpet event, most notably the Met Gala. Contrary to popular belief, the photo does not actually depict the singer Jason Derulo; it features an unidentified man tumbling down the stairs at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The prank gained massive traction in 2015 and has since become a ritualistic joke on social media platforms like Twitter. It is primarily used to troll users into believing a celebrity catastrophe has occurred, but it has also evolved into a general metaphor for a spectacular, public failure or a sudden loss of composure.
