Our culture is big on encouraging people to try things: “Give it a shot!” “Just try it!” But you know what? We need to cut that crap out. Because some people should NOT try. Really.
To show you what I mean, here are 23 people who tried to do things when they really, REALLY shouldn’t have:
1.This police officer tried to go undercover…but couldn’t have been more obvious if he, ahem, tried:
2.And this police officer tried to find a suspect…but was clearly missing the plot:
3.This sign programmer tried to use teen slang…and failed in staggeringly embarrassing fashion:
4.This woman tried to market her oils online…and received exactly zero interest:
5.And this guy tried to make a REALLY scary Halloween display…and took things way too far:
6.This person tried to make a baked potato…and ended up with a thermonuclear spud:
7.This person tried to to make a grilled cheese in an air fryer…and ended up with this pillow-like result:
8.And — oh my — this person tried to make smiley face cheese balls…and ended up with these disturbing horrors:
9.This truck driver tried to make a strong political statement…but ended up with this confusing mess (is it fuck Trump or fuck Biden? Trump 2024 or Biden 2024? Sheesh!):
10.And this guy tried to make a political statement, too…but via this pathetically laughable homemade shirt (also note “lyers,” LOL):
11.This dude tried to shame this bird…then realized the joke was on him:
12.This person tried to steal a joke…and got called out over it by none less than Sunny Delight:
13.And Mike here tried to clown Bernie Sanders…but ended up the one wearing clown shoes:
14.This city tried to let its citizens re-name an elementary school…and really should have just named it themselves:
15.And someone tried to make, well, a can…and failed 100%:
16.This teacher tried to grade a test…and proved their student understands the subject more than they do:
17.And this student tried to write an intro paragraph…and it’s not too strong to say they brought shame upon their entire family:
18.This shoe store tried to pull a fast one by raising the price during a supposed sale…but did it in the most inept way possible:
19.This prospective worker tried to get a job…with a not exactly elaborate résumé:
20.And this ’90s anti-drug campaign tried to scare kids off drugs…while including the text “cool to do drugs” right in the middle of the damn thing:
21.This person tried to shame a restaurant online…only to post this embarrassing self-own:
22.This guy tried to pick up on a girl using puns…that clearly weren’t working:
23.And this person tried to make a smoothie…and, well, it didn’t quite work out:
