We’ve all heard of insurance claims that should never have been paid. But what if you were willing to camp out Castaway style just to make sure your claim was as legitimate as it could get? John Darwin is also known as the “Canoe Man” because he did just that. For a life insurance policy worth £680,000 he faked his own death by paddling into the sea in his canoe on a stormy day. He disappeared, and had his wife promptly collect on the policy. In the mean time, Darwin was camping by the beach in a full-grown beard so that none of his friends would recognize him. They bought a house in Panama with the proceeds from the policy, and lived there for 6 years. When he tried to move back to his original town, he said he had no recollection of the event and what happened after. Until a photograph showed up of him and his wife buying the house in Panama.

How long should my policy last for?
Amy was discussing the various features of a new life insurance policy, and possible outcomes for collection of death benefit with the family’s life insurance agent. She leaned forward when he started to list some important clauses she should be aware of, and asked, “Suppose I take the life insurance for my husband today and tomorrow he dies? What will I get?” The agent eyed her suspiciously and replied, “Probably 20 to life.”

And here is a collection of hilarious videos from Centraal Beheer, the largest insurance company in the Netherlands. Centraal Beheer is also referred to as Apeldoorn, the city in which is it headquartered. Known for their funny commercials on life insurance for over fifteen years, the videos are humorous shorts that last only a few seconds, usually ending with the phrase “Even Apeldoorn bellen” or “Just call Apeldoorn.” How’s that for life insurance humor? (And it’s exactly why it tops our list of funny shorts, because they’re universal claims for the life insurance cause…you don’t need to know Dutch in order to enjoy them! Happy watching!)
