10 Michael Jackson Funniest Moments

The 10 Michael Jackson funniest moments likely also parallel the tabloid's craziest stories: Jackson and the tabloids were simply made for each other.

1. Is he black or white? In the mid-'80s, Jackson started to appear much more white than black. It's been suggested that Jackson suffered from vitiligo and lupus, although many still believe he lightened his overall look on purpose.
2. I'll retire to my chamber. Also during the '80s, stories came out claiming Jackson slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to slow the aging process. It was never decisively confirmed or denied, however, so you be the judge.
3. Monkeying around. When Jackson bought a chimpanzee named Bubbles from a laboratory, he seemed to have more in common with monkeys than humans. Charles Darwin would have been proud.
4. My house is an amusement park. Jackson build an amusement park called Neverland in his backyard. We all know he loved Disneyland, but please!
5. Never mind the elephant in the room. OK, there's also no proof that he bought the bones of the Elephant Man. But would you put it past him?
6. From one king to another. In May 1994, Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley, who just happened to be Elvis' daughter. Maybe he expected she would better understand a tortured pop star. But, in the end, Jackson made Elvis look perfectly normal.
7. Married for children. In 1996, Jackson married again—this time to dermatology nurse Deborah Jeanne Rowe. This chubby chick was just there to birth Jackson's first two children, however.
8. Motherless children have a hard life. In 2002, Jackson's third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, was born. He was nicknamed Blanket, and the mother has never been revealed.
9. Fashion without taste. From wearing one glove, to sporting a red military jacket, Jackson influenced fashion trends that are now laughable in retrospect.
10. Bad? Really. Jackson looked like a little elf, and sang like a girl. Yet he expected everyone to believe he was a bad ass. Oh, get real!
