creative

There's no question that a lot of craftsmanship and creativity went into these skillful creations of dubious taste. It's just that they're also kind of also weird and scary. It takes a specific type of person to want to make a 20-foot peeing dachshund sculpture on the front of a building, but the world is...better... for it? At least there's no question that questionable taste and skill go hand in hand.

One Tumblr thread leads into another, and they're all focused on honoring the strangeness of human beings. It's a fun shift in perspective to consider an alien fleet arriving, chatting it up with some humans, and ultimately being impressed/baffled over how humans pull off the crazy stuff that they do. Maybe aliens are the normal ones. 

Rare insults will always manage to melt our icy hearts. They're often creative and brutal, and likely leave whoever is on the receiving end of them, speechless. The online world will always have people ready to spew the next insult, so why not spice it up a bit by thinking outside the box. These folks definitely pulled it off. 

Tumblr is like a pinball machine of thoughts just banging around, firing off neurons into eddies and dead ends of silliness. You end up with a lot of comedy gems from the wild world of Tumblr. With so much creative chaotic energy speeding into each other like atoms in a super collider, you can't be too sure of the gems Tumblr has to offer.

This dad wasn't going to settle for giving his kids cash in the old fashioned way of slipping a few dollar bills in a card, or maybe even just giving them cash. No, he insisted on getting more creative with things. Queue up the awesome packaging that made these cash gifts look like gifts he bought in the store. 

People may not have a whole lot of money, but what they do have is creativity and ingenuity. And sometimes they have more of that than decent sense. What results are gutters made out of old boots, precarious ladder formations and a whole lot of other impressive and dumb low budget DIY solutions.

This hilarious Tumblr story centers on a childhood game that a couple kids would play with their respective action figures. Unfortunately, within that league of action figures was a horribly misunderstood lad named Evil Chancellor Traytor. The poor homie would regularly fill out his diary with his various wholesome escapades, while other action figures in the community were busy badmouthing him behind his back. The Chancellor just couldn't overcome his name. It's a true shame. 

What makes this clever act of trolling from a graphic designer all the better is the fact that they go ahead and put that much detail into each logo. Like the tagline on the last one? Pure gold. Either the poor client on the other end of this interaction was truly as clueless as they come across, or they were just leaning into the ridiculous situation. 

Why do a weird job bad when it could be done with so much skill that it makes you question everything? Sure, taste is subjective, but most people would admit that a hand made Dora the Explorer themed knife set isn't exactly the greatest use of most people's time and effort. It's still cool that people continue to make skillful creations of questionable taste.

Managing to rap off an insult that doesn't rely on a gross display of vulgarity is its own kind of accomplishment. Too many people rely too heavily on reaching into their vocabulary bank of cuss words, when it comes to trying to roast someone. Sometimes, you've just got to get a little extra creative with it. If you enjoyed these clean insults, we recommend you check out these rare insults that creatively dismantled their foes.

This fun Tumblr thread escalates quickly after a few folks share their hilarious experiences with befriending some of the hard working, earnest Roombas of the world. It considers what it'd look like if there were a knife-wielding Roomba on board a human starship, and all the kinds of chaos that would inevitably ensue. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about how humans are weird, durable space orcs.

Craftsmanship and taste are two different things, and sometimes one gets the better of the other. Sure, you can make high quality shoes out of teeth, but you should also be asking yourself if anyone wants to look at them. It's very possible to make a thing that's impressive but also of highly questionable taste.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the kinds of terribly petty curses that people would cast on their archenemies. People got wildly inventive with their curses. Just picturing what life would be like if there was always a wet spot on one of your socks, or it always felt like there was an eyelash stuck to your eye is enough to get one's heart racing. If anything it's lists like these that can manage to make us grateful for all the fleeting pleasures and periods of general comfortability that we otherwise take for granted. 

People often get caught up in giving themselves over to thinking about all kinds of random stuff while taking a shower. And amidst that random, sometimes brilliant, glowing, genius shower thoughts arise. The kind of thoughts that really make you slow down, and think about everything, and why it is the way it is. 

Sometimes Tumblr has that blend of creativity and total weirdness that makes it just the right thing for just the right time. People could be working on names for edible flying machines or just coming up with the worst puns imaginable. These are some random Tumblr gems to tumble through.

Well well, this Tumblr story about a dude befriending the infamous monster under the bed is something special. Definite favorite moment is when the monster intervenes and plays the part of the hero in the guy's dire time of need.
