50+ Incredibly Comical Times The Internet Captured People Making Failed Attempts
Only the people in the room used to know when you made a fool of yourself. Thanks to social media, a failed tweet or text can now reach tens of thousands of additional people. This may be inconvenient for the person who made the mistake, but it can make us smile. Here’s when the internet caught people having a bad day!
Did You Know?
For a quick snack, many people keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. As a result, one of the first things people learn to cook is one of these healthy and versatile snacks. Once the egg has been boiled, it is customarily removed from its shell.
Did You Know?
It turns out that not everyone is as knowledgeable as we thought. But fear not, because someone on the internet was more than willing to fact-check the mistake of this person.
Grammar Lesson
We believe the responder provided just the right amount of ‘proof’ to this individual! Have you noticed what we did there? This is why, when you dare someone to prove you wrong, you need to make sure you’re making a legitimate declaration.
Grammar Lesson
We believe Johnnie could have done a better job of letting this inexperienced poster down. He does, however, have a valid point to make. This was a failed attempt to deceive people into believing they were smarter than they actually were.
They’re Watching Us
Many people believe that all of this new technology is assisting the government in tracking us. So this post comes as no surprise, but it appears that people have forgotten about an antiquated tool that the government uses to identify us.
They’re Watching Us
That’s right, there was an ID system long before Face ID. They keep our photos and other necessary information, so the majority of us have been tracked since we were 16 years old.
Those Who Live in Glass Houses
If you decide to become the “grammar police,” you’d better be really good at it when it comes to policing others’ grammar. Otherwise, you’ll be unable to communicate your message and will appear to be a fool in the process.
Those Who Live In Glass Houses
We used a proverb as our heading, which basically means that we should not criticize others for things we do ourselves. If we are found guilty of something like this, we will be labeled as hypocrites.
A Geography Burn
Some people are simply not geographically inclined. It’s fine if you’re one of those people. However, you shouldn’t be chastising anyone. Unfortunately, this person missed the memo and ended up right in the middle of the fire.
A Geography Burn
The original poster thought she could use a quick refresher in geography and that a visual aid would be more effective than words. That was a subtle but effective call, in our opinion!
You’re Busted!
A lot of people like to share funny little quotes and life lessons on social media. It’s always nice to try to motivate others to be more charitable, but if you’re going to do that, make sure you’re being genuine and telling the truth.
You’re Busted!
This man believed he could use his grandmother as a pawn in his scheme to appear as a gentleman. However, he failed to remember that his friends had met Nana, and he was caught! Shame on him for impersonating a nice person!
Did You Hear That?
The majority of the time, burglars attempt to enter homes when no one is present. Perhaps this story exemplifies why that is a good rule to follow. After all, you never know when someone will tell a good joke, and we all know how difficult it is to stay silent when that happens!
Did You Hear That?
This failed robber was forced into that situation and couldn’t control himself. As a result, he was apprehended. The moral of the story is to avoid laughing at strangers because it’s weird. Just kidding, the real one is don’t rob people!
Don’t Do It!
A driver’s safety depends on having a good set of tires with plenty of tread. So we’re not sure why this person thought sanding down the tread was a good idea. But, as bizarre as it was, she seemed quite pleased with herself.
Don’t Do It!
That didn’t last long because someone took advantage of the situation to warn her about the dangers of her tire renovation in the most amusing way possible. On the other hand, we can only hope she understood the joke. These days, you never know what to expect from people!
Proof Positive
Many people believe that providing a visual example is the best way to show something. So this person thought they were broadening their horizons by doing so, but all they ended up doing was setting themselves up for a monumental failure.
Proof Positive
The rock’s shading is caused by light reflecting off it. So we can’t hold it against the person who responded to this post and attempted to clarify the situation. There’s already a lot of misinformation out there!
Tomorrow’s Another Day
Exam stress is enough to make anyone’s mind hazy, but getting the exam date mixed up is unacceptable.If something like this happened to us, we would be devastated and consider all of our options.
Tomorrow’s Another Day
We hope that this student has recovered from his bad day and is prepared to take the supplemental exam. He should be able to at least attempt to write the test before giving up. Diego, our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Use the Postbox Next Time
Today’s delivery systems are known for their efficiency and accuracy, so if you ask for your package to be delivered through a window, you’ll get it! What happens after that is not the fault of the delivery company.
Use The Postbox Next Time
The homeowner who made the mistake of requesting this strange location is solely responsible for the parcel’s demise. Sorry to be obnoxious, but the blame for this failed attempt goes to the guy with the bad handwriting!
We’re Not All Mathematicians
It’s entertaining to play with riddles, especially when they’re as difficult as this one. This person doubled down on their response, and no one said anything. Someone should have spoken up louder to let them know this answer was incorrect, in our opinion.
We’re Not All Mathematicians
Someone should have informed the man that the correct answer is 67. He’ll now go around telling this riddle until he gets a personal correction. That will be more painful than using the internet!
Oh, Snap!
Everyone has the right to their opinion, but we hope that when they do, they back it up with real scientific evidence. As a result, this person’s viewpoint does not gain traction.
Oh, Snap!
It’s funny how, when people try extra hard to sound intelligent, they frequently misuse words or phrases and come across as anything but intellectual. By the way, more power to you if you want to dye your hair a crazy color!
Poor Christina!
It’s always wonderful when a major name on social media calls someone out, especially when it’s someone like this guy who thought this woman was a drag queen. Although drag queens adore her, she is, as most people are aware, the extremely gifted Christina Aguilera.
Poor Christina!
Netflix, of course, had to chime in and do the two snap to inform the man that it appears he doesn’t get out very often. LOL! Walk away from the mic.
The Sodium Mystery
People who dangle something in front of us without providing sufficient substance irritate us greatly. This was the case with the enigmatic sodium post. Furthermore, the poster implied that we lacked the mental capacity to comprehend the joke.
The Sodium Mystery
We hope this was done on purpose because the original poster needed to be knocked down a few pegs and the person who responded seemed to make a mistake in the sentence, which reads “most people are smarter than you.”
Wrong Profile
Insurance companies have come a long way in the last few decades, and they no longer need to send anyone to the accident site. This is due to the fact that everyone now carries a camera with them at all times. As a result, they frequently ask photos instead.
Wrong Place
This poor woman misunderstood that they were looking for photos of her. So she didn’t get the job the first time around, but she did eventually get it. It was nice that the agent was so helpful and understanding.
Come on Kylie
Kylie Jenner may be the world’s youngest billionaire, but that doesn’t make her a complete hypocrite. You still don’t believe us? Take a look at these two posts, which were published on the same day.
Come On Kylie
She shared a heartbreaking photo depicting the severity of the Australian wildfires and how they claimed the lives of so many animals, which is heartbreaking! But, not long after, she flaunted her pedicure in these plush, high-end branded slippers made of – MINK!!
Are You a Psychic?
We believe they should have included a ‘spoiler alert’ before posting this picture. Why would you inquire if the man with the knife intends to stab you? It sounds like you’re provoking him, which is the absolute last thing you want to do in this situation.
Are You A Psychic?
We understand that news stations must be quick in order to report on breaking news in real time, but there is usually someone in charge of all the visuals and graphics, and they clearly failed on this occasion.
Tit for Tat
Parenting is difficult! As a result, everyone must form their own viewpoints and strategies for dealing with it. However, if you have controversial ideas and willingly put them out into the universe, you will undoubtedly face opposition.
Tit For Tat
When this anti-vaxxer of a mother announced her efforts to the world, she was met with an analogy that we think is pretty accurate! A little harsh, but well-worded, and sure to give the original poster pause for thought.
Who Is That?
How could anyone look at this photo and believe that Kobe Bryant (RIP) was anything less than great? The fact that this individual thought the all-star basketball legend was a creep shows how ignorant and uninformed people can be.
Who Is That?
But that’s fine because someone out there was willing to point out the flaws in this poster’s reasoning. After all, he was unmistakably their coach! Is it just us, or is it something else?
Preach!
Many people use revisionist history to justify their positions in the world. This guy clearly supports the legalization of a particular green plant, but he chose to back up his claim with a biblical argument, and, well… someone objected.
Preach!
This post’s rebuttal is priceless and completely accurate. Perhaps the first person hadn’t read the Bible in a while because there was this poisonous apple tree that God said not to eat from!
Expanding the Business
Parents sometimes make decisions that they believe are best for their children. If that means sending their children to a different school to keep them out of trouble, they will do so. Unfortunately, this mother’s plan backfired in a hilarious way.
Expanding The Business
The young entrepreneur simply took his business to a rich and successful client, and while he undoubtedly received a better education, he was also able to expand his shady empire.
A Designer’s Flaw
Many of us enjoy wearing apparel with interesting graphics. The purpose of this hoodie was to show that those who wear it are anti-cruelty to animals, but the designer failed to consider how it would look with the hood down.
A Designer’s Flaw
With this mistake in mind, the hoodie’s message is now completely futile, as it now promotes the very thing it claims to be against. The metaphor of shooting oneself in the foot is appropriate in this situation.
What’s the Address?
Although the Queen of England loves to drive, she does not have many opportunities to do so. So those photos are worth something if the press can catch her. However, this individual pointed out that her license plates were distorted.
What’s The Address?
We hope the second half of what he said in his post was a joke, because if you don’t know what Buckingham Palace is, you must be living under a rock.
Messed Up!
When you run for public office, you automatically assume that your family will support you. As this Indian politician discovered, this may be a little naive. Clearly, there is some disagreement in his family about politics.
Messed Up!
We’re curious as to how hard he tried to figure out which four members of his family voted for the other candidate. Perhaps they simply did not vote? Isn’t that a better option? What an awkward conversation to have over dinner with the family!
It’s All in That Suffix
Despite the fact that many men and women in the film industry are attempting to make ‘actor’ the sole title available, it does not appear to be catching on. So, until then, you’ll have to do a Google search for actresses.
It’s All In That Suffix
Although the person who responded to this young lady’s post was attempting to inform her of the truth, it could have been done in a more pleasant manner. Nobody likes being called a moron. Besides, simply correcting her calls her intelligence into question.
Not a Good Vacation
For most children (and some adults! ), visiting a Disney theme park is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As a result, when parents look to tell their children, they want to go big. This parent thought it would be entertaining to let his daughter try to solve a word puzzle to figure out where they were going on vacation.
Not A Good Vacation
The girl, on the other hand, appeared to have failed in her attempt, despite the fact that her solution to the puzzle is quite amusing but not quite the location that we would be excited about!
False Advertising
When you purchase something that claims to be indestructible, you expect it to be exactly that. This company should hire this guy to perform quality control checks because he was able to completely disassemble that lock in seconds.
False Advertising
Even if he was an expert lockpicker, he shouldn’t have been able to get into it so quickly if the design is supposed to be impenetrable. To us, this appears to be a prime example of false advertising!
An Expensive Brag
Businesses like to brag about how much they contribute to society. In the eyes of the general public, this gives them a positive image. So, while it’s understandable that they’ll spend a lot of money to spread the word, it seems like a waste of money.
An Expensive Brag
We’re not business experts, but we can tell you right now that this isn’t it. We’re all for bragging rights, but not at the expense of millions of dollars. Furthermore, it appears that using social media rather than creating commercials is the way to go these days.
Just Saying
Uber is one of those million-dollar ideas that has been in the works for a long time. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including lowering drunk driving statistics. In fact, it was one of the primary motivations for the app’s creation.
Just Saying
When news broke that Uber might stop picking up inebriated customers, it appeared as if the company had been caught red-handed being hypocritical. Furthermore, if this passes, we are concerned that the number of car accidents will rise again!
A Heated Debate
Because climate change is a contentious issue, we chose a headline that will hopefully make you laugh. In response to Katie’s remark, Gary came out swinging, but Katie’s retort won the debate.
A Heated Debate
This is because telling Katie to get an education is apparently equivalent to telling a janitor to get a mop. She had everything she needed. Gary, we believe, is the one who needs to educate himself!
Not Good PR
When it comes to marketing yourself on social media, you want to make sure that whatever strategy you use is beneficial to your product. How will customers be motivated to buy what you’re selling if this isn’t the case?
Not Good PR
Pandora’s social media manager apparently missed this, and it now appears that they are content with coming in last place in their poll. Before pressing that button, someone should have double-checked this post. We’re sure this was quickly removed, but not before someone took a screenshot!
Someone Explain It
We all want fast charging, so when someone offers us a way to get it, we take advantage of it. But this poor girl thought that all she had to do was type the letter ‘C’ in the comment box and she’d be good to go.
Someone Explain It
This girl is clearly not a techie, and someone should tell her that the type of charger she has is a charger, not a prompt. But please, let her down carefully!
Your Responsibility
With the advent of social media, any landlord or property manager who attempts to defraud their tenants should exercise extreme caution. In a text, the landlord attempted to do just that, but the tenant outsmarted him by screenshotting their conversation and spreading the word.
Your Responsibility
It just goes to show that if you know your way around tenant laws, you can get things done. We hope she was able to assist others in the building so they could deal with this problem as well!
Unforgettable
Look, we’re all a little nostalgic now and then. For some, it can be triggered by a song, a movie, or even seeing a playground. But, truth be told, if your recollection of a specific event is personal, keep it that way.
Unforgettable
Because if you make a broad post like this, you’re simply setting yourself up to be put in place. This was a total flop of a trip down memory lane.
High-Pressure Situation
Pressure cookers are an excellent way to quickly prepare a meal. They are, however, extremely temperamental, and you must exercise extreme caution when using them. Otherwise, failures like the one you see here are possible!
High-Pressure Situation
This poor person blew up their kitchen and made a very expensive meal! We’re curious as to what was served that night… Jokes aside, we hope no one was injured.
How to Lose at Life
When you enter a lottery, you already know that the odds are stacked against you. It’s just one of those situations in which your chances of success are slim to none.
How To Lose At Life
However, when every single one of your numbers is off by one point, you can’t help but feel as if you’ve been cursed with bad luck. Better luck next time, bud – we suggest you invest in the stock market for a more secure return!
Self-Affirmations
It’s nice to have a positive self-perception. You can do this by repeating affirmations in front of the mirror. Or, you can meditate to those affirmations every morning. But it’s strange to do it on your own social media feed… Maybe someone should teach Madi how to switch accounts.
Self-Affirmations
Someone appears to have already recognized her and offered her assistance. We hope this teaches her a valuable lesson about the importance of her online life. On the other hand, it’s possible that none of this is heard.
Touché!
The debate over the name of the monster in Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein is always a topic of discussion. So it’s understandable that this person was irritated when they saw the first post.
Touché!
Even so, because they didn’t read it carefully, the original poster was forced to enter the fray and claim victory. If you’re going to come back at something, make sure you have all the facts!
Wrong Place
We’re not sure what he was thinking when he put this picture on his dating profile. There’s a whole world of wrong here. We’re guessing he meant to put the heart on the towers rather than his lips.
Wrong Place
Also, because this photo was most likely taken more than two decades ago, it proves that he is lying about his age. Rashed, you should be ashamed of yourself! We’re not even sure if that’s your real name…
Trying to Flex
Many of us nowadays use social media to post regrettable content in order to gain a little clout. But we have to draw a line somewhere in the sand about what is and isn’t acceptable, and we’re doing so with lying.
Trying To Flex
Because he claimed he was hacked, but the “via mobile” icon said otherwise, this dude’s post is the perfect example of what not to do. You’ll have better luck next time!
Stalker Unveiled
If you’re going to stalk your ex, make sure you don’t leave a trace. You’ll have to live with the awkwardness they’re used to if you don’t. Unfortunately, people accidentally clicking ‘like’ on old photos is a common occurrence.
Stalker Unveiled
Though you can quickly ‘unlike’ and hope that no one saw anything, those notifications are likely to be your undoing. Miss @sarapascoe seemed to agree, as she went one step further and tagged herself…
Know the Lines
Many of us tell little white lies now and then, and for the most part, it’s fine as long as no one or thing is harmed. However, if you’re going to lie about reading a classic book in a Facebook post, at the very least read the first page, right?
Know The Lines
This user believed he would outwit us all with his snarky post, but as it turns out, karma hit him in the derriere.I suppose it’s better they know he’s acting so they won’t believe him the next time, and he’ll learn his lesson.
You Don’t Even Go Here
Do you recall the comedy film Accepted? We’ll give you a quick rundown for those who don’t know or don’t care. In short, Justin Long’s character Bartleby is rejected by all of the colleges he applied to, so he makes up his own.
You Don’t Even Go Here
This Instagram post by reality star Rob Kardashian reminds us of the movie, but his attempt may be even worse. He completely lied about getting into USC Law, but fortunately, the school came back to clear the air and even tagged some major news outlets in an attempt to further expose him.
Stolen Property
In this world, there are two types of people: those who are artistic and those who are not. It can be difficult to accept for those who lack the creative touch, and as a result, they may try to claim artwork that isn’t theirs.
Stolen Property
Rick, a Facebook user, tried unsuccessfully to claim credit for someone else’s photo. Unfortunately for him, the name of the real photographer was engraved on the wall for all to see.
A True Trickster
Someone who is extremely skilled at snowboarding and can perform numerous tricks (such as the man in the photo) is not a trickster. A trickster, on the other hand, is someone who deceives others, and we have an example for you right here.
A True Trickster
By posting this photo, this Facebook user attempted to pass himself off as a professional snowboarder. Of course, his attempt failed because all it took was a quick Google image search to figure out where it really came from.
Not So Sneaky
We understand that having a significant other is a wonderful addition, and that many people are still looking for one. However, for those who haven’t been so fortunate, being alone is also beneficial because it allows you to focus on personal development.
Not So Sneaky
Unfortunately for this guy, he didn’t notice the reflection in the tinted car window… So, we recommend that this selfie-taker pays attention to what we’re saying, because pretending to have a girlfriend isn’t a good look.
I See You, Babe
If you lie to your partner about your whereabouts, it will almost certainly come back to haunt you. For starters, it’s relatively easy to track down someone these days thanks to digital technology, and secondly, someone may see you out.
I See You, Babe
Unfortunately for this texter, who claimed they were going to bed, their partner in the club saw them. While we don’t know why this person tried to deceive us, we have a strong suspicion that something is wrong.
A Sore Loser
There are winners and losers in life. Then there are the winners who act like losers, as well as the losers who act like winners. This is a perfect example of the latter scenario, as this one swimmer attempted to take the top spot.
A Sore Loser
Even so, his victory attempt did not last long, as the true winner of the race (by about 20 yards) must have seen this post and immediately corrected the record.
No, Kimmy!
Then again, even the world’s most famous people make a mistake or two on the internet. This was the case for Kim Kardashian when she called out the Armani brand.
No, Kimmy!
Though they were quick to respond and assist her in any way they could, they felt compelled to correct the media mogul on her incorrect spelling of Mr. Armani’s first name. It just goes to show that even social media queens can make mistakes on the internet.
Not Sure That’s Right!
We all know how wealthy the Kardashian-West family is. We’re also confident that they could make a significant contribution to addressing climate change, but we don’t believe they could solve the problem entirely. As a result, this girl’s response to Kim’s post was actually quite poor.
Not Sure That’s Right!
We’re not sure if Kim K even responded to her. If that’s the case, what did she say? Was she pleasant? It’s more likely that Kim didn’t respond because the claim was false, and she’s probably used to receiving ignorant messages.
Asking for a Friend
You know how sometimes you develop strong feelings for close friends, and those feelings can turn romantic, leading to a desire for a different kind of relationship. So, if this happens to you, please talk to your friend about it!
Asking For A Friend
However, we do not recommend doing it this way. First and foremost, have this type of conversation in person, and second, don’t be so blunt as to sully the friendship. What a flop of an attempt to get out of the friendzone!
The Same but Different
It’s good to stand out. This means that people will get to know the real you, rather than the one who is trying to fit in. So the shirts are pretty cool, except that every single one of these guys chose to wear them and dress in the same way.
The Same But Different
Change the bottom half of the outfits at the very least! All of these people now appear to be standardized hypocrites. Sorry for being harsh, but we’ve had enough of false virtue.
Let Me Tell You Something
The Marvel superheroes have become a topic of discussion among a growing number of people. Plus, comic book nerds live for this kind of thing, so when someone slammed Stan Lee, a fangirl was quick to jump in and clear things up.
Let Me Tell You Something
People’s words are frequently taken out of context and manipulated to fit a negative or derogatory narrative nowadays. This claim about Stan Lee being homophobic will be filed under “fake news.”
Flat-Out Fake
A flat tire is an excellent excuse to skip work. After all, repairing a car can take a long time, and driving a long distance on a spare tire can be dangerous. So this person appears to have a valid reason for refusing to enter, correct?
Flat-Out Fake
Unless, of course, that is the truth, and remember, the truth always comes out. This nail had been photoshopped in, and the recipient of the photo could clearly see it. Plus, the tire appears to be in a room in a house… Nothing adds up.
