Make Thanksgiving A Lot More Fun With These Hilarious Thanksgiving Fails
Naturally, all of that nostalgia often results in some really bizarre accidents. There are always a few spectacular floats, performances, and balloons that suffer damage from the elements as the procession travels along Broadway. Many more of us fall well short of Martha Stewart because, despite our best efforts, we are unable to prepare a delicious meal. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks to those who can cook and to shoo those who can’t out of the kitchen because of burnt pies and bursting chickens. As we draw nearer and nearer to Thanksgiving, let us amuse ourselves as we look at some of the funniest Thanksgiving disasters ever shown online.
Touched By Fire
Thanksgiving may be a wonderful time to get together with loved ones and friends while indulging in excessive amounts of delicious food. Inconvenient family portraits, endless kitchen disasters, and mistakes that should have never been made but make for funny anecdotes might also occur during this period. It’s not simple to cook a turkey, but to burn the whole thing so horribly requires some talent. I guess they’re ordering takeaway for Thanksgiving this year.
Boop In The Road
Millions of people watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade each year from all over the country.
Boop In The Road
Regardless of how carefully planned the procession is, balloons frequently develop a life of their own and become entangled in a variety of dangerously placed objects in the environment. In the history of the Thanksgiving Day Parade, Betty was neither the first nor the last balloon to deflate.
Oops, I Spilled The Pie
Liquid pies can be tough, but all it takes is one weak hand to destroy half the pie crust and spill the pie filling all over the oven door, where it will undoubtedly burn.
Oops, I Spilled The Pie
This is also the reason why food experts advise baking pies on a cookie sheet, but who wants to follow advice from experts when they can have accidents like this?
Great Gobbles!
Sometimes dressing up your pet makes sense, such as when it’s extremely chilly or rainy outside and they need some protection from the weather because they unintentionally got their hair shaved.
Great Gobbles!
But even if you think dressing up as a turkey is amusing, there is never a good excuse to abuse your creatures in this manner. If Ralph’s expression didn’t say it all, he was about to devour his human when this picture was taken.
Explosion Of Flavor
Even the Pilgrims knew how to go full out and feast on seafood, so it may be a puzzle as to why turkey has become so popular on Thanksgiving.
Explosion Of Flavor
The practice of deep frying whole turkeys has grown in popularity as people strive for skin that is always crispy and meat that is juicy. Sure, playing with fire could be entertaining, but in the end, all you end up with is a very dangerous pot of boiling oil that could blow up. A “flavor explosion” isn’t what they mean when they say that.
Nailed It
Even for some of the most experienced nail artists, attempting to create beautiful miniature paintings on your own nails with a finicky polish brush is just a recipe for disaster.
Nailed It
But this is just disgusting. Instead of removing the nail polish, especially on the finger we mistakenly believe should be a Christmas tree, someone was happy to display their haphazard turkey. Nobody will blame you if you skip the turkey the next time and simply do it right.
Pie In The Piehole
It’s a wonderful idea to take a Thanksgiving dinnertime photo with your pals, but it’s best to do so before you start eating.
Pie In The Piehole
They went too far, requiring everyone to wear awful construction paper headbands like they were all five years old, for a bunch of adult pals. Even Mr. Selfie has come to the conclusion that taking this picture was a terrible idea, despite the fact that it may have seemed like a good idea at the time.
RotiSorry
They didn’t mention excluding your pets when they advised inviting your family to celebrate Thanksgiving at the dinner table. Bowser decided it was time to exact revenge after being kept out of the fun for far too long.
RotiSorry
He only had to convince his mother into releasing him outside while she was occupied with the other meals inside because he knew she had left a large, delicious turkey outdoors. He was caught by his mother taking a sizable mouthful of turkey.
Sweet Potato Char Pie
Anyone who has ever attended summer camp is aware of how quickly marshmallows may burn due to their simple composition of whipped sugar.
Sweet Potato Char Pie
But around Thanksgiving, inexperienced cooks all over the nation appear to ignore this obvious reality and conclude that their sweet potato pies, already loaded with sugar, need even more sugar! If only because folks just forget how to toast marshmallows, this has resulted in a plague of overly sugary pies with a propensity to catch fire.
Taking A Spill
It can be upsetting to drop a perfectly prepared meal on the floor moments before a large group of visitors is expected for dinner, but we could all take a lesson from this woman, who knows it’s senseless to cry over spilled turkey.
Taking A Spill
The truth is that she dropped the turkey on purpose to avoid having to prepare the Thanksgiving meal for the rest of the time, despite her pretense to the contrary.
Stealing Feathers
Dad may be pleased with the condition of his bird, but his daughters should have forced him to remove his leg before posing for this picture.
Stealing Feathers
Sadly, for many years to come, all they could recall was that dad preferred turkey to pictures of the family and that some haircuts were better left behind. After all, it’s preferable to leave the feathers on Farrah Fawcett or the turkey. If anyone could have forgotten it, it would have been that person.
Necks Year In Paradise
It might have looked like a hilarious idea to carve up the wrong neck for a Thanksgiving photograph, but it wasn’t until this picture was finished developing that everyone understood dad’s turkey-cutting days were over.
Necks Year In Paradise
It wasn’t a good Thanksgiving for anyone because the turkey wasn’t fully baked and was only partially cut. The family’s only consolation was that, at the very least, this would be their final year of merciful agony.
Crusty Rusty
Rusty is on the money. The pie’s crust, particularly for pumpkin pie, is unquestionably the greatest portion.
Crusty Rusty
Rusty was just as intent on proving that pumpkin pie is overrated as he was on enjoying the late-night feast. Although he had a clear goal, he was aware that it would need some sacrifices, such as eating part of the pie filling, even though all he really wanted was that delicious, flaky pie crust. Somehow, his scheme did not work out as he had hoped.
Crouching Panthers
As with every dropped balloon, the Pink Panther float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade’s creators knew the show must go on.
Crouching Panthers
A group of police officers came in to handle the enormous cat in the middle of the show, which was being viewed live by millions of people as well as thousands of people in person. The moment the cameras started to follow to record the commotion, it was only a question of time.
Browning The Turkey
Whatever else Rachel added to the trifle, turkey does not belong in the dessert for a reason. Some creative individuals may on occasion create a cute dessert design that would look beautiful on Pinterest, but this brownie did not require this pointless turkey treatment.
Browning The Turkey
Although the turkey’s design may not be the most horrifying, the large eyes are a particularly unsettling feature given that all other cues, such as icing steam, indicate that the bird should already be cooked.
Belonging To Thank
Whoops! Even after Thanksgiving, when the word is blatantly misspelled throughout the rest of the country, it appears that this store has no concept of how apostrophes actually function.
Belonging To Thank
Instead, onlookers merely thought the sign writer was oddly ignorant. Perhaps this confused soul just wanted to show everyone how incorrect he thought they were by purposefully placing the apostrophe before the “s.” There should be a new sign for the following year following frequent requests regarding the spelling.
Wampanoag Turkbaby
Even though Thanksgiving falls on Halloween, there is no justification for dressing in costumes.
Wampanoag Turkbaby
We all know that Thanksgiving appears to be neglected more and more every year, but this woman’s attempts to make Thanksgiving a strong holiday in its own right were ill-advised. She only changed her ways after a group of ravenous partygoers mistakenly thought her kid was a real turkey and tried to devour him whole.
Crabapple Pie
Individual pies are frequently a cute way to give dessert to visitors, and creating a healthier version of that is undoubtedly a laudable endeavor, but this pie attempt has gone horribly wrong.
Crabapple Pie
These apples were a disaster waiting to happen when they were stuffed, topped, and baked on this baking sheet, largely because they had so much room to slide around. Before doing this again, take a tip from the Martha Stewarts among us and buy individual pie holders.
A Pilgrim Party
Separating your group into pilgrims and Native Americans is so-last-century, particularly in light of the internet’s ongoing insistence that this wasn’t even the true story.
A Pilgrim Party
The only factual aspect of this family photo gone wrong is that they likely drank about the same amount of alcohol as the pilgrims did frequently. Despite their fervent religious beliefs, many of them struggled to find clean water, so they often spent their days in a fog.
Thankful It’s Friday
Whoever creates the graphics for NBC Washington appears to have never seen a calendar before.
Thankful It’s Friday
Even though President Roosevelt changed the date of Thanksgiving in 1939, many people may forget that it is now officially observed on the final Thursday of November, but they almost never manage to forget that it is named Thanksgiving Thursday. The producers became alarmed as calls started pouring into the studio after they realized how much difficulty they had gotten the citizens of Washington into.
Stuffy Nose
One of the best parts of the holiday season is walking through the door of a loved one’s house to the aroma of a full, cooked Thanksgiving dinner.
Stuffy Nose
Unless your family members aren’t skilled cooks, that is. Yankee Candle fortunately had a solution for it. Who needs a real four-course meal when takeaway is available, and you can light candles to make the food smell like what you would be eating if you knew how to cook it?
Thanksgiving Thrills
Despite the fact that the Halloween season is growing and taking up more and more of Thanksgiving’s limited time, this cookie cake nevertheless managed to horribly miss the mark.
Thanksgiving Thrills
The spirit of former caterpillars has begun to haunt one family’s Thanksgiving dinners, which are now encircled by a lion’s mane. Given the turbulent history of the event, there may be no shortage of eerie Thanksgiving tales, but dessert shouldn’t be one of them. Leave the cookies alone and save the thrills for overcooked turkeys.
Crochet It Away
Bugel’s sad eyes speak volumes. Despite the fact that Turkey may be her favorite food, she never imagined that wearing this ridiculous hat in the shape of a turkey would be the result.
Crochet It Away
Her mother was constantly attempting to crochet clothes for her, and she typically succeeded when it came to ripping them apart. That is, until an entire yarn turkey, complete with drumsticks, was placed atop her head. The worst thing was that the turkey wasn’t even tasty!
Out Of The Cupboard
We can tell who wants to rule this family based on the expression on dad’s face. Mom chose to support it, but her eyes convey a different message.
Out Of The Cupboard
Only she is aware that when it’s time for the Thanksgiving meal, Dad will receive punishment for this ludicrous stunt. These are two kids who often adore dressing up, just not in front of the camera. Even the kids recognized this picture was a horrible idea.
Out Of Gratitude
Thanksgiving’s biggest myth is that Americans prefer the flavor of dry, crumbly turkey, but this young man was determined to disprove the fallacy.
Out Of Gratitude
He was made to sit at the table by himself to pose for this photo despite having made it apparent that he thought the turkey was an unpleasant cuisine and appeared to be lacking in any sense of thankfulness. You would be quite disappointed as well if Thanksgiving meant having to endure a lengthy lunch with just your parents and no presents.
