Some people think they are better than others, and their sense of entitlement is always on display. When they get on our nerves, watching them embarrass themselves is oddly satisfying. After all, they brought it upon themselves.
A bunch of these unlucky people were pretending to be someone else, but got caught red-handed and even got documented online. A Reddit page has shared some of these epic moments that might bring out tears of laughter.
Bored Panda has compiled the most hilarious ones so you can get that odd satisfaction by watching these entitled folks fail spectacularly. Just scroll down to enjoy a laugh or two!

Caught Red Handed
Just An Average Sized Girl That Really Cares About The Short Kings Out There
I am sure that most of us have come across entitled individuals. Experts at Verywell Mind note that a person with a sense of entitlement has a self-absorbed view of the world and little regard for, or empathy about, their impact on others. In its extreme form, it may be part of a personality disorder.
Such individuals think they deserve special treatment, have high demands, expect others to do things for them, and prioritize their own needs. They may act melodramatically when things don’t go their way and play the victim to shift blame onto someone else. Moreover, they lack gratitude and need constant praise, but they can also be secretly insecure.
As A New Yorker…
At Least Put Some Effort Into It
Right before I quit Twitter because it was turning into such a troll-haunted nightmare, I tweeted in approval of "C00n Cheese" finally changing its name to "Cheer Cheese" after years of lobbying by Aboriginals (over here "c o o n" is a racist slur toward First Nations people). I immediately came under attack by a "black woman" who was awfully upset about this state of affairs, calling me "so ignorant" and claiming it totally wasn't racist so THERE. In fact "she" sounded a whole lot like some white conservative snowflake and I'll bet you my bottom dollar that's exactly who was hiding behind that profile picture.

Nobody is born entitled, but many factors can trigger this behavior. Experts warn that it is a characteristic of narcissism and can be influenced by how a person was raised, whether they got special treatment, if they were spoiled, or if they were denied things in the past, so they now believe that the world “owes” them to make up for their suffering.
Even societal and cultural factors play a role. However, people can also become entitled if they have a personality disorder. These disorders can define a person’s self-image and also how they perceive the world around them.

unpopularopinion could have ended his comment right before the third personal pronoun and gotten 100% agree..
According to WebMD, “An entitlement mentality can result in conflict in relationships, unhappiness, disappointment, and even depression. This can create a vicious cycle. Feeling entitled to something and the disappointment that follows when you don’t get what you want can reinforce entitled behavior.”
Such people tend to act in abysmal ways that can really frustrate other people. No wonder we enjoy watching them fail. I think it all comes down to schadenfreude.
As A Gay Man We Shouldn't Mention Reagan's Response To The Aids Epidemic
"My sexuality". Like he took out a patent and owns the intellectual property rights as well.
As A Gay Let Me Tellyou A Secret
I have never, ever, heard any LGBTQIA2S+ person refer to themself, or any other community member, as "a gay". And I've lived in/around the Village in Toronto for over 25 years, have done anti-homophobia/transphobia work. "A gay man," sure, "a gay woman" less often, but sometimes, "a gay person," of course, but never simply "a gay". That's the way bigots speak.
Found One In The Wild
As a person interested in linguistics, but with absolutely no education on the topic, I find the evolution of languages fascinating. What brought about the creation of AAVE? Why did black Americans end up with their own English dialect, but you don't see the same thing in Colombia or Brazil, which had even larger black populations than in the US? From music to dialect, aspects of black culture are continually borrowed and embedded into white america. Is this in SPITE of or BECAUSE of the supposed view of black inferiority? The history of American pluralism is so different than the history of pluralism in my own country, and so I find it deeply interesting.
Research shows that schadenfreude is a complex emotion in which people take pleasure in another person’s misfortune. Originating from the German words meaning “damage” and “joy,” it reflects a common yet often stigmatized aspect of human nature. Psychologists categorize schadenfreude into several forms, and one is associated with a sense of justice, where individuals feel someone’s suffering is deserved.
When people pretend to be someone else for attention, privilege, or sympathy, it can feel like justice when their entitlement backfires. That’s why it’s satisfying to see someone who exploits others or lies for their own benefit get exposed for their ridiculous behavior.

There are so very many light skinned black men these days wearing MAGA hats, aren't there?
Also, when these people’s actions get documented online, they can stay there forever. However, it also makes us question the psychology behind this behavior. Beyond their sense of entitlement, other factors might drive them.
Attention-seeking behavior might be a reason why entitled people pretend to be someone else. According to a study, “Social media has created digital and seemingly endless means of having our basic needs for acceptance met. Attention addiction has increased relevance in today’s social media environment.”
People indulge in performative behavior rather than being their authentic selves. However, they almost set a trap for themselves with these over-the-top performances. Netizens can be pretty smart and instantly figure out their act.

There Is No War In Ba Sing Se
He's An Atheist But God Would Never Approve
Sometimes, money is also a big motivator when people try to fake it. For instance, some influencers pretend to be someone else, as it can open new doors for them.
The academic journal of Brown University (JPPE) explains, “By effectively selling their personhood to be used as a marketing strategy, the influencer turns into a mere commodity. Capitalism has made the body into a product that can be sold and bought, and social media has accelerated this process.”
However, what they don’t realize is that money cannot protect them once they are exposed. After all, we have seen so many influencers being “canceled” when followers found out their true colors. And their names have been tainted forever because the internet never forgets.

He's Also Very Racist
Homosexuality is found in every species. Homophobia in only one. So which is "normal"?
Well, it seems like entitled folks should take it as a lesson and just stop faking it. Otherwise, the internet will definitely come for them, and they will end up becoming comedy gold for others. Don’t you agree? We would love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share them in the comments section. Also, if this made you laugh, you might enjoy these spectacular facepalm moments!

Actually, my (adoptive) mother is Native and she liked the Redskins and the Chiefs. I think she just came from a time where any part of her culture being represented was good representation. She doesn't like football much (my dad is glued to the TV during football season) but those were the teams she liked.

This needs an NC-17 warning. I come to Bored Panda to read about a lady getting the upper hand over her mother-in-law, and 73 things to do with left over pumpkins, and to see awesome pictures, and to find out what type of medieval person I would have been. Enough with this mean spirited nonsense.
I don't even come here for that, I come here for cute animals and adorable stories.
