'This horse accomplished more in 25 seconds than I have in 35 years': 25 Deranged fails from the YouTube comments section

Since YouTube started in 2005, people have spent roughly a bajillion hours watching music videos, streamers, vloggers, and sketches, and they've been leaving hilarious comments to boot. Below is a fine collection of the cringiest and funniest comments found under YouTube videos.

My favorite is probably the guy who requested to know what song was playing in a video, and came back after 10 whole years to find out no one had told him the answer yet. The YouTube comments community had a solid decade and y'all let him down! Another person who claims they pauses songs to let Eminem breathe while he's rapping is also a winner in my book.

'[She] starts SCREAMING at us to tell her who was late': Students get teacher fired in glorious tale of malicious compliance

There's nothing like a success story about rebelling against authority. In this case, the setting was a Catholic high school, and the authority figure was the senior-year Social Justice teacher (ah, the irony!). 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/lalalakee, who reflected on their former years as a high school student and shared this epic tale. For context, this Social Justice teacher was new to the school and was extremely strict. So strict that she locked the doors to the classroom for the daily morning prayer and pledge of allegiance. Even though the bell to the first class hadn't officially rung, she would consider students to be late if they missed either of those "essential" activities. Sounds like a bit much, don't you think? Well, the students all thought so, and when a kid was late one day, they all rallied around him instead of following the teacher's rules.

‘Who Doesn’t Expect Noise at a Gym?’ : Stubborn Entitled Dude Appalls Gym Goers by Being Disrespectful and Selfish, Continuously Ignores Requests to Be Quiet

Firstly, a quick shoutout to Darwin's brilliant theory of evolution… the flaws in how humans have evolved are no secret to any of us. Just enter the nearest Mcdonald's — I dare say 15 minutes won't go by without some kind of incident occurring, most likely involving an entitled person who takes their 3-dollar burger very seriously. Evidently, some humans have not quite evolved as we'd have hoped, and are clearly deficient in brain cells.

 

Particularly those linked with public decency. We all know a couple of these people ourselves, although we really wish we didn't. Whether it be that one overly loud person on the bus with their phone on speaker, complaining to their bestie about an insufferable coworker of theirs (Karen), completely missing the irony of the situation. Or the impatient idiot who cuts in line at the grocery store because 'he's tired of waiting' (lol, y'dont say?!). And let's not forget about that one neighbor who is apparently capable of playing the drums only in the early hours of the morning, oblivious to the social norms of sleep.

 

While scrolling through r/AITA, I stumbled across a post written (surprise) by a very entitled dude who lives in a nice little bubble. You can check it out down below. A few people were less than happy with his behavior. Feel free to click here for a tale of delicious malicious compliance.

Decide their fate: Help this Redditor respond to their intrusive boss

One Redditor has a nosy boss who's about to get way more sass than they bargained for! The OP shared this post to r/antiwork to ask for help, because clearly they need it while working for this overbearing boss! 

The poster shared an email from their boss that starts off saying, " Are you out sick today and tomorrow, or was the hours on your timesheet an error. Be reminded that you cannot use sick time in lieu of vacation days. They are not interchangeable." Um, why so nosy though? 

This person was having none of it, so they reached out to the internet to help them decide. Some posters shared actually great advice, while others had lots of joke ideas to consider. Much to think about! Feel free to comment your own advice to this person, and who knows, maybe they'll choose your response to tell their boss to shove it (professionally). 

Up next, check out these outrageous things people posted on the Nextdoor app because they're completely clueless about their own neighbors. 

'Your mom is nuts': Unhinged Mom refuses to fix huge hole in kid's bedroom

This lady has taken things way too far! Currently, she is separated from her husband, but they have been living together under the same roof with their 19-year-old kid for several years now despite the fact that they straight-up hate each other.

 

The 19-year-old shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/entitledparents subreddit, and let's just say that folks in the comments section were in complete agreement about one thing: the original poster needs to GTFO immediately. The fact that there is a large 3ft by 3ft HOLE in their bedroom and after all this time, the mom refuses to get it fixed? What purpose is she serving at this point? It's not even her ex-husband's bedroom! Before she knows it, this house is going to get condemned, and they will all have to move. Our advice? It's time to solely communicate with your Dad and then begin plans to start looking for your own place.

'You've got to be effing kidding me': Young Karen faces off with old lady at amusement park

The lesson here is to never mess with someone named Ida! This young Karen in the making learned that lesson the hard way and at an amusement park, of all places.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/johnandahalf13, who shared an anecdote about getting an event pass to a famous amusement park and getting to enter the park an hour before it opened to the public. Young Karen was, of course, pretty pissed off that she didn't get to enjoy those same privileges. When she tried to get into the park early without the event pass, a 90-year-old woman working for the park named Ida got in her way. When young Karen decided to drop the F-bomb in front of dear old Ida, things got a whole lot worse for her.

'I'm A Genius!' : Funniest Verdicts By Shower Masterminds That Are Spot On

I am convinced that good ideas were not born throughout the day while dealing with a bunch of issues and complications at work. Take Isaac Newton, for example. Although there is no evidence to suggest that an apple actually landed on his head (To be fair, this was a long time ago, before social media informed everybody of what every human being was doing at any given moment), we are led to believe that his observation of the fact, caused him to develop his law of universal gravitation. As in, when he was resting. Which is the equivalent of taking a long hot (or cold, if you're a Wim Hof fan) shower, while leaning your head against the bathroom wall, sighing to yourself lazily, when suddenly what we like to call 'A Shower Thought' pops up.

 

Lucky for us, there is a place to share our expert opinions, philosophical ponderings, and general jibber jabber. It's called Reddit, and I am personally a huge fan. You have an endless supply of weird, interesting, creative and stupid content on there, categorized into different subreddits. That, my friends, is where I found these hilarious shower thoughts that made me go 'Damn, I never thought about it like that'. So without further ado, scroll down and check it out for yourself.

'Lady, you are living under my roof': Entitled stepmother insults woman's deceased mother, sets off chain reaction that divides family

Evil stepmothers aren't just from Cinderella – this stuff happens IRL too! One Redditor shared her story of the rude way her new step family treated her after her dad remarried. It's quite the long read, because this stepmother and her two daughters are super entitled. Their dogs use the house as a bathroom. The stepdaughters walk around scantily dressed during the OP's Zoom calls. They move all the OP's photos and replace them with pics of themselves. But worst of all are the choice words they have about the OP's deceased mother. 

Read this wild story and judge for yourself: was the OP in the right for making her father choose between her and his new family? After that, check out this story of these Airbnb renters who were dumbfounded by the owner's outrageous kitchen rules. 

'It’s not my Mom’s fault that she’s an insecure b****': Woman lashes out at future Mother-in-law for taking over her wedding

It sounds like this Monster-in-law is always going to be a problem. Based on what happened in this scenario, the bride probably got a preview of what life will look like as a part of her future husband's family. Thankfully, it seems like her fiancé is understanding and has supported her throughout this ever-evolving crisis.

 

The bride shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and although she didn't necessarily confront her future Monster-in-law in the most ideal way possible, this woman clearly had it coming. She invited her friend who, once upon a time, tried to break the couple up. But the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, was the way in which Monster-in-law verbally attacked the bride's mother. That's a dealbreaker! Folks in the comments section were clear that if the Redditor doesn't establish clear boundaries with this woman now, this wedding and marriage are destined for disaster.

‘Your Boyfriend Has to Leave, Now’ : Furious Brother Kicks Sister's Disrespectful Boyfriend Out of Holiday Dinner for Being Rude to His Blind Wife

Reentering the office after Christmas can be particularly overwhelming. You'll find everybody huddled together, each recounting their own dramatic holiday saga, which usually involves a few or more 'loved ones'. Granted, family dinners are like taking part in a reality show, minus the cameras. My personal motto that has served me well throughout the years: When in doubt, say nothing. Also, lie — a lot. Or rather, omit as many details of your life as you possibly can.

 

Moreover, if somebody says they don't need your help, don't push it (Unless it's your mother, then you should definitely push it, otherwise she will sniffily accuse you of treating her home like it's a hotel). Assuming you went to your partner's family for the holidays, you must be on your best behavior times a thousand. It's just how it is. I guess some AHs didn't exactly get the memo.

 

Scroll down to read about one such idiot, who relentlessly offered his 'help', even though it was obviously coming across as extremely rude and unnecessary. Way to spoil it for everyone. And feel free to check out these very blunt signs that aren't afraid to tell it how it is.

Catloaf and Unalaska, Alaska: 20+ Deeply weird Wikipedia entries

Wikipedia has become the internet's go-to hub for quick information and access to primary sources — and because it's so vast, there are plenty of hilarious and obscure entries. No matter what topic you're curious about, rest assured there's a Wikipedia page for it. Since Wikipedia is mainly made by people who submit their own research to pages, there's the opportunity to mess around with some pages — like one guy who makes the state of Missouri a little bit larger each time he has a crazy night out. 

After you've discovered the bowels of Wiki, check out this video creator who shared the behind the scenes of how she was treated badly at a party full of influencers. 

Brave Man Types 'Joel Osteen Surrounded By Fire' into an Art Bot and the Results are Nightmare Inducing

"He looks like a movie villain, but worse." 

Everybody in America knows who Joel Osteen is. Whether you love him or hate him, the man has some controversial crap in his past, present, and probably future that tend to muck up his reputation as a Godly man and an example to the church. So for sweet ol' Texan Joel Osteen, a name you can't even say out loud without assuming a southern accent, becoming the face of a mega church was simply part of the business plan. With his soft voice, wet curls, and pale as paper skin, he has become a public figure for more than just his sermons. Who are we, as poor peasants, to judge billionaire pastors for their choices? 

Update! 'Call me when they get their next divorce': Parents keep getting divorced and remarried, daughter calls them out

This is some rich people drama! Who can afford to get divorced and remarried to the same person so many times and have a lavish ceremony each time? No wonder why their daughter is so over them.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmiTheA**hole subreddit by u/thebridenotthewife, who shared an update from an original post. We first included the original story below, along with the update. Essentially, after telling her mother that she did not want to spend $1500 on a bridesmaid dress for their new wedding ceremony, the Redditor got into yet another fight with her mother, this time over her own wedding. Her mother was infuriated that her daughter would be willing to spend money planning her own honeymoon in Greece and not spend a cent on her parents' fifth/sixth wedding (it's not entirely clear just how many times these two have married and divorced each other). Keep scrolling below because the daughter's comeback to her mother is as close to perfection as a comeback can get.

'ONE DISH and ONE GLASS per meal!': Airbnb renters stunned by owner's over-the-top kitchen rules

Would you stay at this Airbnb that has the most micromanage-y rules possible? One person vented their frustration about this very problem to r/mildlyinfuriating. It is just mildly infuriating, after all, these rules aren't the end of the world. But these rules are weirdly specific, and they would definitely be annoying to someone who's just trying to relax on their vacation!

‘He Messed Up Big Time!’ : Entitled Senior Engineer Lashes Out at Employees A Mere Months Before Retirement, Cue Malicious Compliance

The minute you are afraid to engage with someone at work because you feel that they will respond in a reactive way, you have a problem. Although working in a comfortable environment where you aren't belittled seems like something very basic, not everyone has that pleasure. Some people's coworkers, especially ones that are working at a company for a long time, feel like they get a free pass to be an AH. Lord knows why… We tend to make fun of HR a lot, for a number of reasons, but when they actually do their jobs, it can save the work environment. C'mon, we're all adults here. We shouldn't have to avoid mature conversations with anybody. But some people are immature and need to learn a lesson or two, the hard way.

 

While scrolling through r/maliciouscompliance, I happened upon a post titled 'He told me if I had a problem with him, I should bring it up to HR..... So I did' — obviously intrigued to see what the dude had done, I began reading. If you're having issues with someone at work and want some inspiration of how to correctly deal with the AH, take some good ol' advice from Reddit, and more specifically, from this smart dude. 

 

Speaking of coworkers, check out these funny memes that will have you in stitches.

'Cringe Mom Facebook Statuses': Woman Reads Them Like a Dramatic Monologue in a Soap Opera

Oh moms. We love 'em and we are annoyed by our own… They do so much for us and they truly are super heroes for the family. But seriously, what is with their rants on Facebook?? The classic Boomer mom rant where she airs out all her dirty laundry in a lengthy Facebook status, but also congrats her nephew for graduating and thanks her husband for the Christmas gift. Like, if you're a mom out there that likes to rant for everyone to see on Facebook, please, tell us what is going through your minds when you decide to post? That has to be some sort of science project. Facebook is for Boomers now, so you know right after that mom makes her rant public, it gets riddled with Boomers arguing in the comment section. It's pretty while, but we also must admit, it's hella entertaining. One TikToker took to acting out these cringey Facebook rants by mom and it is epically hilarious. Watch them below! 

'I ask the SLOWEST coworker possible': Nurse gets petty revenge on entitled patient by making him wait over an hour

If everyone's difficult, you're probably the difficult one! That's what this entitled, passive-aggressive male Karen learned at the eye clinic after he requested to be evaluated by a different nurse when the first one was simply doing her job. She shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and oh, what sweet revenge she got!

 

This tale should serve as a friendly reminder to be kind to people who have the ability to make your hospital visit quick and easy or painful and interminable. When the Redditor was dismissed by her patient, she decided to make things extra difficult for him, especially since he proved to be more than deserving of that kind of behavior. She decided to assign the slowest, most stubborn coworker with the biggest take-no-prisoners personality to take over. What could have been a swift visit lasting under an hour ended up being a 3-hour ordeal, simply as a result of the patient's attitude.

'I...was told “oh but you know only people with talent get in right…?"': 30+ Artists share the harshest critiques they've ever heard

Everyone's a critic, including the very teachers who are supposed to guide students along their path to success. When senior art critic Jerry Saltz asked artists to dish on their worst art advice from teachers, he got some incredible responses. 

He posed the question in a tweet, asking, "Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins? What was it? Keep it short; don't exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing. Have you ever made a "revenge" work of art? What was it?" 

People shared some cringeworthy and heartbreaking "advice" that their teachers had given them, including a few teachers who suggested their art was so bad they should quit it. Lots of these tidbits of bad advice aren't that mean, but are still harsh words to hear as a student who's still learning. Not everyone knows how to give constructive criticism though!

Judge for yourself how these artists are doing now that they're creating "revenge art" pieces. Then, click here to read all about this father-son spat turned credit card dispute that has gone so, so wrong.

As you scroll through these puns, you might inevitably consider what it is that makes a solid dad joke. Is it the family friendliness? Is it the corny wordplay?

Regardless of what the answer is, no matter what age you are or what year it is, you should know that dad jokes are never ever going away. Even if you're so embarrassed that you make a hissy fit and scream at the top of your lungs for your Dad to stop, he's just going to keep being himself.

'It has no effect on your answer': Husband flips out after wife calls out his burger blunder

After a quick trip to a burger joint, this man freaked out at his wife… but was he justified in his annoyance? 

Two video creators shared a slice of life in their marriage, and it's really resonating with burger lovers and people who just want to eat their own dang food and not have to share! Patrick and Marwa share their life together on their account called marriedwithflaws. Patrick has clearly just arrived home with a fresh bag of burgers and fries. Marwa has apparently committed the sin of asking for food after Patrick already went out and bought it. Now he has to share, and he is seriously annoyed about it. 

As Marwa giggles and records the scene, she caught Patrick's very funny reaction to her last-minute fast food request. Check out the article below, then read all about these neighbors on the Nextdoor app who have no idea what they're doing.

'Send me a picture, I don't believe you': Employee tells white lie to get out of work party, toxic boss asks for proof

Here's a friendly reminder that when you're off the clock, you don't owe anyone anything! This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Thuctran1706, is just further proof of that fact.

 

In this instance, the company was off for Christmas but there was an off-the-clock team social gathering that the original poster was invited to attend. Perhaps the Redditor shouldn't have told a white lie that they were out of the city and instead just explained that they wanted to spend the day off with their partner, but what was way worse was the Redditor's horrible boss requesting photographic proof that they were out of the city. That's obviously wildly inappropriate and also just not something the original poster should feel obligated to follow up with in any way. When you're off, you're off! Social work gatherings after hours are simply not a required part of the job unless you're getting paid for that time.

Guy's New 'Netflix and Chill' Variation Has Seemingly Cracked the Code to Online Dating

A guy is claiming to have cracked the dating code with his new opening line for when he gets matches on dating apps.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Tinder subreddit by Redditor u/Throwawayanalyst96, who posted screenshots of their recent Tinder success.

The screenshots show his opening line, which deviates from the 'mainstream' phrase of 'Netflix and Chill' and instead offers his dates a chance to 'Disney+ and Thrust.' This has, evidently, been met with some solid success as he has managed to get a few match's socials and phone numbers. 

Commenters of the thread responded with praise, and several commenters were impressed with the success u/Throwawayanalyst96 had been finding. Others were more skeptical and postulated that some of the accounts were either bots or catfish. 

It's interesting how the modern streaming landscape has spawned so many variations of the euphemism. Way back in the early days of Tinder we had but the one option.

One commenter replied with a list of the many variations that have been spawned:
 

"this is kinda unrelated but Netflix and Chill doesn't rhyme, but every single parody of it does

Disney+ and Thrust

HBO and Blow

Hulu and woohoo

IMAX and Climax

Amazon Prime and Sexy Time

Blockbuster and Cockthruster

why"

‘Quit Lying’ : Funniest Foolish Idiots Who Obviously Don’t Know the Rules of the Internet

AI is taking over the world… well, not yet, but it will. We wanted to begin this article with a bold statement for no reason, so you are welcome to ignore it and move on to our actual point — people love internet clout, and they'll do just about anything for it. Great examples are the ice bucket challenge, the cinnamon challenge, and the famous Tide Pod challenge. Yes, people actually stuffed laundry detergent into their mouths. So now that we've established that there is something very, very wrong with the internet culture nowadays, let's move on to our next point — the internet is such an easy place to lie on.

 

You can say anything, and people will believe it. Well, unless someone spots the BS and calls you out on it… in which case, you're screwed.

Way to ruin it for yourself… And while we're on the subject of fails, check out these creative ones where people kinda outdid themselves.

'Go Away Karen' : 16 Coworker Memes That Define A Toxic Workplace

2022 is officially more or less over, and it's been really stressful, trying to meet all the deadlines and expectations that were thrown at us (some of them last minute). Our coworkers may or may not have made life a little harder than it should be. We all have at least one Karen in the office, who kind of ruins the vibe. Maybe more, if you're especially unlucky. If you work from home, that Karen may show up in your emails on a daily basis. It could drive anybody mad.

 

We don't know why some people wake up and choose v**lence. But as Gandhi said, 'Be the change that you wish to see in the world'. Just kidding, go troll 'em! Better yet, send them these memes. They may or may not get the joke, but who cares? You'll know. As for our New Years' resolution… well, it's more of a New Year's wish, to be honest. We hope Karen gets fired. A special thanks in advance to the Universe.

'I don't pay you to sit in your car': Entitled Karen boss refuses to pay employee for waiting time after she was late

Bosses are always a pain when you're late, but when they're late, it's totally fine! That's obviously a belief that this entitled Karen boss subscribes to, given that when she was over half an hour late to work the day after Christmas, she refused to pay her employee who had been waiting outside in their car since the office was locked. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Raenoke, and as frustrating as this story is, it's certainly not surprising. We all know that as soon as the Holidays are over, horrible bosses remove their fake smiles from their horrible faces and go back to being, well, horrible. There's an extra level of irony going on here, given that the place of work in this instance is a law firm, and what this boss is attempting to do is certifiably illegal. We'll see what happens!

Impossible inventions: 20 Gadgets that are too weird for this world

What would we do without the great inventors of today? It can seem like everything has already been created, from electric tea-warmers to Snuggies to iPhones. 

But today's inventors have to have the most creative "eureka!" moments possible. Thanks to the internet, we can now find out about the most cursed inventions that thankfully don't exist. Some of these inventions were created only once with a 3D printer, or just invented with concept art. The world just isn't ready for Crocs you can wear on your hands, or for Internet Explorer scented cologne. 

Up next, gain enlightenment from these very wise quotes, which all come from tweets, movies, or TV shows. 

'I would like to be paid immediately': CEO tries to withhold former employee's final paycheck until they sign an NDA

If this isn't the problem with startup culture, I don't know what is! This former employee, who shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, was fired on December 2nd. Their boss — the CEO of the startup — has refused to deliver the Redditor's final paycheck by December 13th. The reason why? Well, the CEO wants the employee to sign a new NDA and is essentially holding their final paycheck hostage until that document is signed.

 

Thankfully, here's a story where the Redditor knew their rights and threw them right back in the face of their former employer. They pointed out that withholding pay in this instance is already a violation of California labor law and that the employee signed an initial NDA in their original contract. Why were those original terms no longer sufficient enough? After a heated back-and-forth over email, which you can find below, the employee decided to CC the company's investors, board of directors, and former clients in a final display of delicious revenge.
