Twitter's a veritable sea of marvelously bad takes, and many of these quickly posted sentiments end up aging like milk. Many of these takes are political, but beyond the predictable Trump impeachment tweets, there are scads of published magazines and even childish doodles whose creators must be kicking themselves bloody over. From a weird crush on Bill Cosby, to naming Adolf Hitler Time person of the year, these gaffes will not be forgotten any time soon. But we'll keep cringing and having chuckles over 'em.

Bill Cosby was convicted yesterday on three counts of sexual assault - a moment that many feel was a long time coming. It's no surprise videos "foreshadowing" the allegations tend to come out of the woodwork at times like these. In this insanely eerie clip from The Cosby Show, Cliff Huxtable's "special" barbeque sauce seems to have a creepily aphrodisiac effect on his guests. After dozens of women have accused the comic of using drugs to aid in assaulting them, the video takes on a much more sinister meaning.

Bill Cosby attempted a simple little PR stunt on Twitter Monday, and it blew up in his face almost instantly.
Tweeting a link to a Cosby meme generator on his website (which has since been deleted), he asked his followers to turn his pictures into memes, by adding some text.
But this year, following news that he would be starring in a new NBC sitcom, Cosby's past has come back to haunt him, with old sexual assualt allegations resurfacing in the media.
So it probably wasn't the best time to ask people to get creative with Cosby's images. Has his social media team ever even heard of the Internet?
Here are a few examples of the resulting Cosby meme - he certainly got lots of attention for this stunt, but not in the way they had hoped.
