Laurel and Hardy had no idea they would inspire 1,180 people to sling plates loaded with shaving cream at each other. But they did, and residents of Ulverston, England have a place in the record books. Every June, Another Fine Fest celebrates Stanley Laurel and all things slapstick in Laurel's hometown of Ulverston, England. In 2015, festival organizers decided to try for the big one. The Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right (To Party)" plays as the all-ages crowd readies to sling in the video above. Anticipation builds as people spread shaving cream "pies" on the festival's stubbly grass fields. An official sounds the alarm, and the festival becomes a barbershop battleground.

World's Largest Interactive Light Display: Vivid Sydney Festival

We can thank the good folks at Vivid Sydney Festival and 32 Hundred Lighting for this one. The tech and event company teamed up with the festival to install an eye-watering 2,105 light panels, made up of 105,104 individual LEDs, across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Circular Quay railway station and nine major skyscrapers. Visitors to the interactive light installation, dubbed "Dress Circle," could control the light via touch sensitive software installed at each site. We like to think of it as the world's largest video game.

World's Largest Projected Image: Moscow International "Circle of Light" Festival

Vivid Sydney may have claimed "largest interactive light display," via city-wide installations, but Moscow stretched the limits with one projection surface. In December 2016, at the Moscow International "Circle of Light" Festival , the front facade of Moscow State University's main building was covered by one single projection at an astonishing area of 543,125.39 square feet. According to the Guinness World Records team, the visuals "depicted two stories – one relating to the history of the university and the other about the protected areas of Russian landscape – and they were accompanied by voice-overs from actors, musicians and television presenters."
