This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Unaesthetic Images, Here Are 35 Of The Worst Ones
We’re all very mindful of aesthetics, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not. On an instinctive level, we deeply enjoy looking at beautiful things. It’s not only that, though. We want that which is beautiful. Lance Hosey writes in The New York Times: “Brain scan studies reveal that the sight of an attractive product can trigger the part of the motor cerebellum that governs hand movement. Instinctively, we reach out for attractive things; beauty literally moves us.”
However, there is a parallel narrative running alongside this. To put it bluntly—we’re also fascinated by that which is ugly and bizarre. Truly horrendous art, horrible designs, and unaesthetic projects can capture our imagination like nothing else. Whether these things are so unaesthetic they loop back around and become aesthetic becomes a moot question when you’re stuck there, looking deep into the abyss, wondering whether to run away or share the image with your friends.
Luckily, we’re not the only ones who have a fascination with the (un)aesthetic side of the internet. The ‘Things that are not aesthetic’ Facebook page with nearly 3.5 million followers is a celebration of everything that makes us uncomfortable (yet keeps our eyes glued to the screen). Check out some of the most intriguing, weird, and unaesthetic posts featured on the online group, which is part of the Dank Channel project, upvote the ones that you particularly enjoyed hating, and go join them if it’s something that’s right up your alley.

Of course we would. And when it parks next to another one in the garage we'll say they're like two peas in a pod

With the price of gas nearing $4 /gallon, is it no wonder that my first thought -- having nothing to do with aesthetics -- was "I bet that gets really good gas mileage!"

In regions where the fuel is called petrol, the idea of a pea and gas, sorry my inner child just took over....

Edd China has an Orange car on his video channel, he's the guy behind the sofa car too I think.
Philip Devine 4 years ago
Yeah, it's an 'Outspan Orange' car and built on a shortened Mini chassis and engine. Outspan/Uitspan (now Capespan) is a South African citrus supplier and they built a few of those Orange cars as marketing tools. Really fun vehicle, I wish I had one.

"Let's go," "Okay, I have to take a pea." "We have to go." "So do I. I'm taking a pea." "Well, then, hurry up!" "I've already started my pea." "When are you going to finish?" "When we get there." "You're going to pee all the way?" "Sure. Glad you're in." "Now I have to go."

This is adorable! However, I live in an area where just as many people get hit BY deer (or in my case, owls) as those who hit them, I won't be getting one any time soon.

My Bubble Bath Better Calm Tf Down
The Dank Channel project was created by Levi Cameron Grenko back in 2013. The social media manager has very ambitious goals, including to "make a difference on the world as a whole" through memes.
This isn’t the first time that Bored Panda has written about crimes against good design and aesthetics. Ugliness and weirdness are both pretty popular, it seems. And they’ve got some things in common.
Recently, I spoke with Swiss design aficionados Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys about their ‘Ugly Design’ project over on Instagram. Ugliness, especially how it clashes with picture-perfect social media feeds, is a fascination of theirs.

It's Bad When A Thrift Store Doesn't Like Our Odds For The Future
"As our love for ugliness keeps growing, the line between ugly and beauty is getting a bit blurred," the guys behind the ‘Ugly Design’ page told me during an earlier interview. "It appears more and more of our followers have completely lost their taste. That’s a good thing. It means they’ll have to find it again. It will most likely be forever changed."
Jonas and Sébastien told me that part of the appeal of badly designed objects is that they create a stark contrast to what you can usually find while scrolling down in your Instagram feed.
“When seeing an ugly design rather than perfect aesthetics (as defined in the 21st century)—scrollers takes notice. Also, @Uglydesign never gets predictable—that is key to maintain and grow followers in our opinion,” the pair noted that we should avoid predictability and conventions if we want to get noticed in a space where ‘perfection’ is, more often than not, the norm.

“We find it crazy that this theme can still surprise us and make us laugh so much after having dug into it for so long,” they said. “We are posting various topics under the theme of ugly design, from maximalism to design fails, covering everything from luxurious furniture, jewelry, fashion, nail art, architecture, to upcycling… And except for some designs fail, we believe it is an incredible source of inspiration and joy.”
It should be clear by now that unaesthetic things and designs are just as important as aesthetic ones, as far as inspiration and social commentary both go. However, which ones grab our attention the hardest is still up for grabs.
