FAILS

Most people these days have that person in their phone saved as 'Satan,' or a similar person who you really, really don't want to hear from. Maybe they cheated or maybe they ghosted you. But chances are when you hear from these exes, you're probably not very happy about it. That's how these former lovers felt when their old flame's came back a-knockin', but they handled the solicitations with sass, spite, and a whole lot of confidence. 

If you've been on Twitter at all in the past 24 hours, you've probably seen that Prego is trending. No, the pathetic excuse for a pasta sauce has not been abolished from grocery store shelves. Instead, the gullible people of the internet are expressing their shock and horror at yet another white person who thinks that smearing food over a shining kitchen island is a "hack." 

Obviously the video above from "Josh and Lisa" is disturbing. It's even more disturbing with sound as its participants pretend this is a serious party trick. The dry noodles. The premade...everything. The counter. It's enough to send Gordon Ramsay into a coma. Also disturbing is the fact that people are completely eating this charade up. Which is more than we can say for that pasta. 

If a person with deductive reasoning (hello) does even a little bit of digging, it becomes obvious that this video - and many like it - are the brainchild of attention-hungry influencers who film "pranks" with clickbaity titles. The same goes for that nacho hack that horrified us around the Super Bowl. Following repeated viewings of that scarring video, we realized its creator, Taylor Watson, had included the controversial clip in a folder called "Pranks!" 

Josh and Lisa's videos look eerily similar to Taylor's. They even filmed a "nacho hack" of their own. It's got to be the most pathetic plagiarism we've seen in our lives. Many of their earlier "works" include a pretty damning disclaimer:

Thanks so much for watching this video! I do hope you enjoy it. Please note that this page features scripted dramas,PARODY HACKS, parody and satire. The events that take place in this particular short-film video are for entertainment purposes only. 

It's safe to say that this Prego-laced abomination belongs in that category. While some people may say it's all in good fun, we had a feeling these milquetoast "creators" knew exactly what they were doing. And according to a piece from Eater - we were right. It turns out that all of these despicable shows of "cooking" from polished Facebook personalities lead back to Rick Lax, a Facebook-famous magician with a penchant for using gross concepts to create viral videos. He and his network know they can capitalize on the trope that white people can't cook. And they will continue to do so as long as the views come pouring in. Do they want clout? Do they want engagement so they can start shilling light projectors like viral Twitter users? Or are they in it for fun, as Lax claims? We're not really sure, but it's really time that we stop feeding into their food-wasting, unfunny bullshit. 

Edited 1:29 pm to include the revelation of Rick Lax's involvement.

TGIF, y'all! One of our favorite ways to blow off steam after a long week of work is by watching prank videos. Unfortunately, most "pranksters" on Youtube have started to pull immature, and frankly cruel, pranks like throwing away their boyfriends' video games or girlfriends' makeup. That ain't the kind of pranking we're into. We're into the stuff that will pack a mental punch instead of actually hurting someone. Of course there are a few exceptions that prey on stupid people, but nobody's perfect. This batch of tweets, memes, and gifs is just the kind of silly fun we're looking for when it's time to take a load off. 

Some workplace blunders can cost a business money - or worse, result in injury or death. Far from a case of inexperienced forklift operation or drunk driving, these minor failures do little else but annoy people with OCD or inspire a bit of light laughter. These days, we can all use an extra dose of laughter, even at other peoples' expense. 

Some people say that if at first you don't succeed, you should try and try again. Some of these fiery mistakes definitely challenge the logic behind that saying. That said, we're inclined to give everyone here an E for "effort" - even if it's just for providing us with such excellent schadenfreude.

Some people in this world are just unmatched contenders for the Darwin Awards, and we feel incredibly lucky to have caught some of them on camera, which you can scroll through below! Fail Blog has endless more fail-y content, so go check them out!

Ever notice the byproduct of something that went wrong somewhere down the production line? Like an Elmo toy with its eyes put on backwards or a road sign that says 'Accident Porn Area Ahead' instead of 'Accident Prone.' These defected objects are beautiful expressions of the messy nature of production. We cherish those moments when someone who couldn't be bothered doing their one job makes a mistake that somehow no one notices until the rest of us are blessed with the hilarious results. We've got some great examples of these 'you had one job' fails ahead. 

Y'all ever hear of 'creative incompetence'? It's when someone goes out of their way to show they simply cannot accomplish a task. These fails are a bit different, as they come from people who seem to have gone out of their way to fulfill their duties, to disastrous or middling results. One thing's for sure, these people aren't getting any awards for being overachievers. 

We all had a reasonable amount of fun with the "bone apple tea" meme that started popping up back in 2016, but these fails are truly next level. We're seriously praying that these poor souls are feigning ignorance!

The following people have majorly failed at the one thing they were supposed to do, but at least we get some laughs out of it. Check out more fail-y moments here!

Every now and then I'll be walking around, minding my own business, going about my boring life, when someone does something so overwhelmingly stupid I need at least a few minutes to recover. It's so easy to forget that we share the world with stupid people. These moments and photos are a reminder that you should never give people too much credit. They'll disappoint you.

Communication is difficult, and if we're being honest the English language is particularly guilty of making no sense. But if you can read English, and are aware of its nuances and absolutely illogical quirks, you'll probably appreciate this batch of memes, tweets and posts. 

While we don't think it's cool to revel in the pain of others, these fails and muck-ups are mild enough for us to laugh at. From spelling errors to crappy design choices, these screw-ups have only caused minor inconveniences and (probably) just a bit of mild embarrassment. So you can push your guilt aside and scroll away gleefully. 

We know that everyone on the internet these days considers themselves a graphic designer, but it looks like these professionals have seriously neglected one important thing: the absolute importance of spacing. Both leaving out an essential gap or adding an unnecessary space can completely alter a message in ways that are often dirty and hilarious. May these woeful design fails be a cautionary tale for your future projects.

The internet is a magical place that allows us to spend our hard earned money without even leaving our homes. Hell, we can shop for dumb sh*t while we're on our way to our sad jobs. Sometimes, however, whether due to drunk shopping or screwed up internet retailers, us money-spenders end up getting a lot less than we bargained for - or more, if you're looking at these blunders from a comedic standpoint.
