Let's be honest, some people are not meant to be designers. I'm not saying that they have no talent at all, more likely a lot of their ideas just "sound better in their heads". However, luckily for us, their creations serve as great amusement.
With that in mind, I asked our fellow pandas to share a picture of the worst design fails they've seen and was happy to receive some funny images! So, scroll down for a good dose of laughter. If you have anything to add, you're more than welcome to do that!

Don’t Do That
Book Ad Fail
Steamy Contemporary Romance huh? For that price I'd almost think about getting one... Tomorrow
I See Your Eyes And Raise You A Trio Of Llamas
I Have No Conceivable Clue What This Is
If this is the new FNAF, I'll be intrigued to try it.

ShowBiz was ChuckECheez before it was a thing - they had a whole animatronic band
Oh heck no, it’s getting to close to five nights at Freddie’s.

Ha ha, Showtime was the Pepsi to Chuck E. Cheese's Coke. Can't imagine why the jacked-up-teeth-bear didn't go over.
Gen X knows & now can't believe this was children's entertainment.
I went to a showbiz pizza for a friend's birthday party when I was little. There were 6 of us at the birthday party that started at his house and his parents took us there for supper. I fell and skinned all the meat off my chin before we left to eat. I barley at one piece of pizza because the grease kept running down my chin into the open wound. My one and only time ever going and I ruined it because I was so damn clumsy.
Ah, gatta love the 70's and 80's parenting of "oh, you fell and seriously skinned your chin? Enjoy the rest of the party, you'll probably be fine" (for me it was breaking my arm roller skating with friends and being taken home by their parents instead of to the hospital)

It's a bunyip. They have them in Australia and Philadelphia. Bertie the Bunyip to be exact.
Damned. It's damned. The word you want is damned. All four of these people are now stone golems in the lair of the Rat God.
i can't say somebodys name because their name also is now said as a MAN SAUSAGE

Ah Billy Bob, the peak of animatronic horror design. How is FNaF supposed to be a horror game but not a single one of the characters is as terrifying as this guy who was made for children and so many other animatronics that are much scarier than Freddy Fazbear, Springtrap, or even Nightmare?
LOL, Showbiz Pizza was a restaurant/gaming place in the 70s-80s. Similar to Chuck-E-Cheese.
ShowBiz was the inspiration for FNAF. Well part of it. What set ShowBiz apart, was the characters could be programmed to replicate any number of voices, so the skits could quickly be changed. Chuck E, however didn't have this ability at the start. They later would copy it. Showbiz was founded in 1980, and lasted until 1992 when ChuckECheeze bought it.
That's Showbiz Pizza! That's where everyone had their birthday parties as a kid. Many of them have effed up nightmares as adults now, but we are mostly ok. Spent a ton of my youth there. Decent arcade.
It's an ad for a family restaurant geared toward children. You don't get that? Derp
It was a pizza restaurant from the 80s they did dinner and a show the show consisted of that hairy bear devouring all of your sins
Save them from boredom by terrorizing them with a giant pizza mouse instead Wait, is this a precursor to chuckee cheese?
I totally had my birthday party at Showbiz Pizza when I was little! One of the characters came to my table to wish me a happy birthday and I was so terrified that I hid under the table and wouldn't come out 😂
What do you mean you have no conceivable clue what this is? The clue is right there in the slogan "ShowBiz Pizza" Whatever generation you are in might not know what that is, but even if your generation uses TicTok as a search engine instead of google, it still shows up in the results there. Even without searching, though, the photo is pretty self-evident. It is a pizza place that offers showbiz and game aspects.
The other characters at Showbiz were a message to children to stay off drugs... https://www.google.com/search?q=showbiz+pizza&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS917US917&hl=en-US&prmd=ivsn&sxsrf=ALiCzsaeiUrhhYWhG5L0X29U0Y_HKnUbxg:1663937873809&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjJ3pXP-6r6AhUBkWoFHZBXD4UQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=414&bih=614&dpr=3#imgrc=CCRiwgNi6_6DeM&lnspr=W10=
Showbiz Pizza!!! Total 80's memory. I think he was supposed to be a rat or a mouse????
I remember Showbiz Pizza. Now it's Chunky Cheese - too much $$$ for virtually No Fun according to my grandkids
Chucky cheese competition in the early 80's I went to one in Euless Texas
This was the best! Until Chuck E. Cheese took over. You think those animatronics are terrifying. These wons would have had you screaming from nightmares.
Showbiz was Chuck E Cheese. I remember going on a Vacation to Las Vegas and when we got back Show Biz was gone. Replaces by the Mouse. Honestly it has better rides than Chuck E Cheese wever will. Bette atmosphere as well.
i loved that place as a kid, they had a few of these in Texas. There was a large animatronic gorilla that would play piano on stage.
That's Billy Bob, iirc. He can now be found playing the shooting gallery at some Scheels stores.
Truth in advertising. I can imagine a lot of feelings I might experience if this thing came wandering around my family, and boredom isn't one of them...
It was a pizza place like Chucky Cheese. There were shows ,games,win tokens and tickets and every hour the characters would come out and wish happy birthday.to everyone.

The Famous "Not My Job"
Found This While Looking For Room 305. That Door Just Leads To A Classroom
Letterbox Organization That Pains Me To Look At
Aside from them being out of any type of order whatsoever, why are there three boxes with a 1 on them?
Incense Holder But The Ash Goes On My Shelf. Now I'm Using A Toothpick To Hold It Straight
From My Hometown. They Refuse To Change The Name
I lived in Burlington too. We always thought the sign for D**k's Sporting Goods was funnier. It read, "D**k's Coming Soon".
Designer: "I'm Going To Make It Look Fresh And DIY At The Same Time! Brilliant!"
Worst Design Ever. If You Know, You Know
For those that don't know... This is a military issue bag. It takes no less than forever to get into this bag. No matter what part.
Saw This On The Front Of An Insurance Company Building In Houston
Good Job Dude. Like New!
It almost looks like they were trying to copy the stitchings on a baseball
“I Don’t Get It! Ever Since We Put That Sign Up There’s Been So Many Calls For The Police!”
No Standing Anytime. My Mom The Rebel
Does no one else notice the tree in front of the sign? Nobody will see it from that side
It's Supposed To Say "No Trespassing"
Should Be "Gravures" And "Graphiques". This Is An Advertisement For Their Signage Business. Maybe Start By Getting 1 Language Right?
I Haven't Been Inside, But I Bet That These Two Doors Don't Lead To Different Places
I think they do go to different rooms. The one on the left goes into the shed. The one on the right might be like a closet. Hence the one on the right has signs for a fire extinguisher
Found This Beauty Near My Doctors Office
Her Face Was At The Curve Of The Screen. (Sorry Twice Mina!)
This takes the cake for worst article I have seen on the site. There were maybe 2 design fails if you are being generous.
I agree a lot are not bad 'designs'. Might retitle 'fails'. However, I am curious as to which two submissions you consider design fails? My thoughts are #2 floppy flamingo drink spiller, #13 hand dryer badly planned placement, #15 direction signs badly planned and #17 backpack badly designed.

I used to have a photo of some teenage ninja turtles game with a typo, the electronic store said electorics
Wish I still had a picture of when we drove past a sign that said "Paradise" that had "closed" slapped across it. And yes, I know it made it into some book, but I did actually see it. Anyway, there are definitely some automobiles that belong on these lists, like old Fiats where you had to remove the dashboard and some other stuff to get to basic fuses, or just the rebuild of the hummer for tech bros to drive around the city.
