You know the saying that there's no such thing as a stupid question? Yeah, well that is blatantly untrue and you should feel bad if you asked any of the following questions submitted to sites like Quora and Yahoo Answers.
Just kidding...we appreciate it because we got some hearty laughs out of it!
Some people take a long bath or treat themselves to a pastry when they're feeling low. Maybe they talk to a friend who can make them smile. But when we're feeling depressed or insecure, our favorite pastime is observing stupid people do what they do best: inflate our egos with their embarrassing antics. There's nothing quite as uplifting as seeing people f*ck up worse than we do on a day-to-day basis. And we've got a whole lot of that stupid for you to scroll through right here.
There are few people with less self-awareness than the embarrassing humblebragger. You know who we're talking about—the sort of person who's always trying to indirectly brag through a superficially modest statement. Some can get away with it to a certain extent, but most are laughably bad at it, usually betraying their self-obsession in an attempt to seem humble.
We've got a whole bunch of shameful examples of obscene humblebragging for anyone who feels like cringing.
The chaotic world of TikTok can feel overwhelmingly insular to anyone who doesn't live on the app, and outsiders tend to assume that few over the age of 25 use it. But despite the fact that TikTok is heavily associated with Gen Z, the young cohort only makes up about 20% of the social network's user demographics. So why has Gen Z seemingly conquered TikTok? Maybe it's the sheer volume of content they're somehow able to churn out. Or maybe it's their idiosyncratic and ever-changing coded language they rapidly adapt to as it morphs in realtime with the latest trends and viral phrases. Whatever they're doing on the internet, it's either impossibly cringe or some brilliantly nuanced satire. We've collected some perplexing screenshots from Twitter account @genzmoments—take a gander and decide for yourself.
As the world crumbles and burns around us, it feels a little wrong to be engaging in schadenfreude. We've all got a lot on our plates between the pandemic and pretty much everything. While we know we should be extending sympathy and patience to the citizens of the world, stupid people make it so easy to, well, laugh at them. On the bright side, with moments of laughter so few and far between, these challenged souls have provided an invaluable service. It's not all cruel mockery. We've got some appreciation for the IQ-deficient as well.
While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get.
The internet is probably 90% composed of people saying dumb sh*t in the comments. And you know what? The real world isn't much different. In the time of Covid, it seems like stupidity is thriving more than ever. Yep, 2020 has birthed an army of covidiots, and they are very online. In this gallery, we're showcasing an impressive array of pure dumb—a bunch of these are just harmless moments of lapses in judgement, but others are straight up facepalm-inducing cringe.
No one wants to personally deal with horrible customers or patients, but we do appreciate someone who takes one for the team and lives to tell the tales from it. We thoroughly enjoyed the following stories from an unamused medical secretary!
If (for some odd reason) you enjoy feeling angry, have some more enraging stories about entitled people via Fail Blog!
There are some people in this world who should just not be on game shows, and unfortunately some of those people indeed ended up on game shows. The following pics will make you cringe and wonder how stupid people manage to get so far in life. We don't know either...
It's official: James the Intern is our new hero. We're not sure if it counts as schadenfreude, but the dude's lovable buffoonery (as told in a series of epic tweets) is something we definitely feel slightly guilty for enjoying. Hopefully the subject of this twitter thread has found himself a new job where his skill sets...exist.
It's no secret that the stupidity of the world is more evident on the internet. From idiotic forum posts to anti-vaxx ramblings, r/facepalm is basically the mecca for anyone who revels in observing stupid people act stupid. Bonus? The subreddit is perfect for anyone who might need a gentle reminder that they're probably superior to most people.
It's an epidemic.
