Hysterical moments when weird people tried to fake it, but just didn’t make it
Absolutely—trying to wear a mask can be exhausting, and sometimes it slips at the worst possible moment. These stories show that pretending to be something you’re not often ends up causing more trouble than it’s worth. When authenticity wins, it might be messy at first, but it’s always more rewarding in the long run. Ready to see some epic “fake it ’til you break it” moments?
Those Bacon Packs Should Probably Go In The Fridge…
That perfectly toasted bread and that buttery croissant look straight out of a food magazine—but behind the scenes, it’s probably all about angles, lighting, and maybe a bit of digital magic. It’s a good reminder that what we see online isn’t always the full story, especially when it comes to those “too good to be true” foodie pics!
The Selfie Stick The Defies Reason
Selfie sticks definitely help cram everyone into a photo without the awkward squeeze—but trying to capture both the front and back at once? Yeah, that’s not their strong suit. Sometimes you just gotta pick a side!
When Your Parents Won’t Buy You That Barbie You Wanted
That’s a tough moment for any parent to hear! When she couldn’t get the 2018 Walmart Yodel Kid Barbie Doll, she didn’t just pout—she went all in and “adopted” new parents who’d say yes. Sometimes kids’ imaginations come up with the wildest ways to cope with disappointment!
You Could Definitely Do That At Home
From the perfectly grilled toast to that impeccably golden croissant, this photo screams “staged to perfection.” It’s no secret influencers often touch up their shots before posting—but this one really highlights how much of what we see online is carefully crafted, not just casual snapshots. Definitely a reminder to take those flawless food pics with a grain of salt!
Those Pesky Mirrors Ruin Everything
If you’re aiming to prove you hit the gym, picking a mirror that doesn’t reveal all the distractions behind you might help. Otherwise, folks will be busy wondering about everything but your muscles—so your gains might get lost in the background chaos!
This Isn’t Exactly Reassuring
If you spotted a sign like this right before entering the elevator, what would you do?
Most likely, you’d make a quick detour to the nearest stairwell and opt for the stairs instead.
…So It’s A Cookie?
Good effort, but we’re not fooled! Whoever designed this menu tried to get creative with the wording—but at the end of the day, it’s just a cookie, no matter how you spin it.
Being An Athlete Isn’t For Us All
When we’re young and clueless, we often believe that with enough effort, we can become professional athletes. The truth, however, is quite different.
Looks like this kid didn’t inherit the athlete genes from his family.
A Bit Of PHotoshopped Peas With Rice
When we’re young and naive, we tend to think that sheer determination can turn us into pro athletes. But the reality tells a different story.
Seems this kid missed out on the athletic genes running in the family.
We’re Onto You, Pizza Hut
Picture yourself wandering downtown hungry, and you come across a quaint Italian bistro right next to a Pizza Hut. Sounds like a great find, doesn’t it?
But here’s the catch—once you walk in, you realize the “bistro” is actually just the Pizza Hut.
Is This Not What You Wanted?
There are two possible reasons her boyfriend gave her this: A) He had a lonely childhood, missing out on essentials like a proper ice cream sandwich, or B) He deliberately created this sad excuse for one, hoping she’ll never ask him for a snack again..
That’s One Way To Confuse The Kids
Getting this shirt for your kid is bound to cause some confusion. It’s pretty obvious the designer skipped a few animal lessons back in grade school—since when do hippos have horns?
Blue Skies Every Day In Seattle
When selling your home, you want to make sure that it’s as appealing to buyers as possible.
Seattle is a notoriously rainy city but these people wanted their house to look appealing so they added blue skies! The problem is when you zoom in, you can see raindrops falling around the house.
Sara Might Be Up To Something
Oh, Sara…It was a valiant effort, but your teacher definitely noticed that your “parent” has the same name as you and the penmanship of a second-grader.
Better luck next time!
It’s Your Puzzle. You Get To Say When It’s Finished.
Once you purchase the puzzle and it leaves the store, it’s yours to do whatever you want with.
You have an artistic license. If this is your finished puzzle, so be it.
“Your Package Is Hidden Under The Table”
Why would the delivery person even go to the effort of trying to “hide” this package that’s as big as a pre-teen?
Whoever they were delivering it to knows what they ordered. They didn’t expect the delivery driver to be able to hide it.
It Vaguely Looks Like Dumbledore, I Guess?
Apparently, this costume shop didn’t want to go to the effort of trying to get the copyright for the real Harry Potter branded items.
Some poor child is going to ask to be a Hogwarts teacher for Halloween and their parent is going to bring this home.
Those Look Like Some Great Videos
One mom told her daughter that she couldn’t buy her a laptop just so she could watch dog videos.
Her daughter decided to use her imagination by creating her own cardboard laptop. Somehow we doubt it has the same effect.
Wow! It’s So Realistic!
All those tattoos must have cost this young man a pretty penny. And they’re so well-done… such realistic, intricate details…
This is going to impress any ladies that go scrolling through his profile.
Seems Legit
A particularly resourceful five-year-old boy decided that this leprechaun trap that’s definitely “not” a trap is going to be his new income source.
Somehow we doubt that this is going to be his successful money-making scheme.
Why Have An 8-Pack When You Can Have A Keg?
Can we get it out there that having abs is not worth the sacrifices you have to make?
Is being miserable and healthy more tempting than happy and unhealthy? Probably not.
Oh We’ve Got Questions
There’s no way that whatever eyebrows she’s hiding were worse than the ones that are photoshopped onto her face over the top of her baseball cap.
She should have just stuck with the original brows.
What A Beautiful View
Why do people think that it’s so easy to photoshop themselves in Paris?
We all keep trying it and coming up looking we’re standing in front of a green screen.
When You’re The Runt Of The Squad
This is what high school is like for many people. Trying to fit into crowds that you don’t fit into, and it’s obvious.
While hanging out with the varsity volleyball team may be fun, the fact that you’re 5’2 on a good day makes you stand out really badly
That’s Some Fire Exit…
Whoever thought this was a good idea should consider changing professions.
You mean to tell me you want people dropping at least 10 feet if there’s a fire in that building?
Who Dropped The Ball?
This would be like selling soccer balls at a baseball game.
If you’re going to be a company that advertises something specific, you better be all about that thing. Who didn’t make the right call here?
No Clue How This Works
You can hammer a nail into the asphalt?
That doesn’t seem like an ideal way to handle a situation like this, so maybe they should’ve just gone to get some paint.
He Looks Like An Anime Character
Honestly, this is almost lazy. The arm doesn’t even look like it’s on the right way.
He’s like some evil Ken doll that got put together backward in the factory.
Weird Flex, But Ok
Sir, where did your neck go? Explaining this away with camera angles and whatever else people usually use as excuses is not going to fly this time.
Be happy with the progress you’re making on your own!
Legs For Days
At what point do you have to see that you’re buying into something that isn’t normal or healthy?
Like, does anyone have legs that long? It just doesn’t look right.
Trying To Satisfy The Wanderlust
Can we talk about how expensive it is to travel outside of the country? How do people have the disposable income to fly when it costs like $600 to go to Mexico one way?
It’s with wishful thinking and a major lottery win that will eventually allow me to take my dream vacation, hopefully
Meet The Black Sheep Of The Domino’s Family
Apparently obtaining a franchisee license for Domino’s was too complicated for this person so they decided to create the distance second cousin of the well known chain.
Welcome to Romino’s! Where the pizza, kebab and fried chicken are probably all mediocre at best.
That Looks Like A Hazard
I sincerely hope that this woman has enough common sense to realize that if an elevator door is ever as warped as the one in this photo, she should not be getting in it.
Take the stairs instead.
#Goals?
How could anyone scrolling through their instagram feed see this photo and think ‘yes that’s completely attainable for me. I want that body!”
Bratz dolls have a more attainable figure than the woman in this photo.
She Should See A Chiropractor Or Something For Those Shoulders
If we buy the dress is it going to make our shoulders look like this woman’s? Because in that case, we’ll pass.
And don’t even get us started on the cut off fingers that are “holding” that purse…
That’s One Eagle-Eyed Commenter
It’s okay to just say you’re selling them because you don’t like them, but don’t put yourself in a position to be caught out.
They also could have picked a better background to take this photo, but that’s a separate issue.
Signs Can’t Stop The Weather
This silly sign was no match for good ol’ Mother Nature.
If she wants to snow in that area, she’s going to. And there’s nothing that you can do to stop her!
The Dog Was Taken By Ghosts
Even the older generation can fall prey to photoshop fails. Wanting to do nothing more than having a lovely family photo with their dog wound up turning into a horror story.
Literally, these people lost their legs in the photoshop fail, making it look as though the poos pooch is being held hostage by ghosts.
Is The Company Selling The Piano Or Marketing Satanism?
This company needs to fire its art, marketing, and advertising directors because this is a total advertisement fail. While the little girl is looking at the camera and smiling, so is her reflection.
This, folks, should not be the case!
Just A Girl With Her Hose Head
This would have been a lovely photo had it not been for the epic photoshop fail that left the horse without its entire body!
Horses aren’t small animals; how this photo editor missed their entire body will remain a mystery.
The Arm…Enough Said
While it is advantageous for swimmers to have long arms, this sign takes the concept to the extreme.
Not only does the swimmer’s arm look way too long for a normal human being, but it also looks broken.
Welcome To The Hudson River
Anyone who has flown into New Jersey or New York knows that there is no commercial airport remotely close to the Statue of Liberty. At least, not one that gives this great of a view.
Pro-tip to this airline: next time, make sure to advertise a safe landing and not one that is directly in the Hudson River.
The People Not To Hire For Guitar Lessons
These two guys were doing nothing more than trying to promote their business. Sadly, they should have taken more care with their photoshop since the guitars are nowhere close to being in their hands.
Also, just a thought, could they have actually photographed themselves playing, or is that too easy?
Just A Guy Showing Off His Headphones
Showing off headphones is a new craze. This guy clearly wanted to be one of the cool kids.
It would have worked better if he didn’t decide to photoshop a pair of headphones onto his head. He gets an “A” for effort.
The Eyebrow…
While this lady has very manicured eyebrows, it is very hard to let something in this photo go: the fact that one of her eyebrows is very clearly printed over her bangs.
Sorry, but that isn’t something that is seen in real life.
