In our culture, there’s a lot of emphasis on encouraging people to try things: “Try it!” “Just try it!” But you know what? We need to stop this nonsense. Because some people should NOT try. Really.
To show you what I mean, here are 23 people who tried to do things they really, REALLY shouldn’t have done:
1.
This cop tried to go undercover… but it couldn’t have been more obvious if he had, er, tried:
2.
And this police officer was trying to find a suspect… but obviously didn’t understand the context:
3.
This character programmer tried to use youth slang… and failed in an incredibly embarrassing way:
4.
This woman tried to market her oils online… and received absolutely no interest:
5.
And this guy tried to make a REALLY scary Halloween decoration… and went way too far:
6.
This person tried to make a baked potato… and the result was a thermonuclear tuber:
7.
This person tried making a grilled cheese sandwich in an air fryer… and the result was this pillowy one:
8.
And – oh dear – this person tried to make cheese balls with smileys… and the result was this disturbing horror experience:
9.
This truck driver wanted 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? My goodness!):
10.
And this guy wanted to make a political statement too… albeit with this pathetically ridiculous homemade t-shirt (also note “liar”, LOL):
11.
This guy wanted to embarrass the bird… then he realized the joke was on him:
12.
This person tried to steal a joke… and was called out by none other than Sunny Delight:
13.
And Mike here tried to make Bernie Sanders into a clown… and ended up wearing clown shoes:
14.
This city wanted to allow its citizens to rename an elementary school… and really should have named it themselves:
15.
And someone tried to make a can… and failed 100%:
16.
This teacher tried to grade a test… and proved that his student understood the subject better than he did:
17.
And this student tried to write an introductory paragraph… and it is no exaggeration to say that he brought shame on his entire family:
18.
This shoe store tried to trick a scammer by raising prices during a supposed sale… and did it in the most clumsy way imaginable:
19.
This potential employee applied for a job… with a less than polished resume:
20.
And this anti-drug campaign from the 90s tried to scare kids away from drugs… and inserted the text “Doing drugs is cool” right in the middle of the damn thing:
21.
This person tried to embarrass a restaurant online… and then posted this embarrassing self-congratulation:
22.
This guy tried to hit on a girl with puns that obviously didn’t work:
23.
And this person tried to make a smoothie… and, well, it didn’t quite work out:
