Thanks to WikiHow and it's incredibly specific images, it's easy to find out how to do simple things like change a tire or make pancakes. These creative re-captionings took the source material and put it in a completely different light, to some wondrous results. For more silly re-captions, here are some antiques roadshow re-captions that are logically sound. And for some basically dumb but somehow clever jokes, here are some witty and stupid jokes that are technically correct.
stupid
Many of us have dreams of finding an old hat or something, taking it on Antiques Roadshow and finding out it was worn by Lincoln when he gave the Gettysburg Address. Not many of us think to treat it like a garage sale and bring in a flatscreen tv that was made during the Obama administration.
There's always that one person at work who you're amazed hasn't been fired yet. Maybe they just haven't been caught by a manager yet, or maybe your boss just doesn't want to go through the process of hiring someone else. People have to deal with some horrible coworkers, but it's definitely interesting witnessing people who do not give a heck.
Everyone knows that electronics don't work perfectly all the time, but we don't expect them to not work in an official or commercial setting. It must be weird to have to say "well it looks like we should turn the road signs off and on again." Here are some excruciating moments of tech support gore for some more things not working as they should.
It's probably happened to you. You're holding two things with incredibly different purposes. Maybe it's a phone and a banana. You're on autopilot and prone to brain farts so you're not thinking. You take a bite and realize "oh crap I just bit my phone." Then you think that's funny and want to tell someone so you take your banana off its charger to text your friend. For some more mistakes here are some classic facepalm moments of dumbness.
Human beings are capable of incredible things, but one of our more interesting features is our ability to ignore reality and push forward with incredible facepalm moments of incompetence. There are enough dumb moments out there to fill your day with stupid. The dumbness never stops.
Tumble users are one part creative chaos, one part boredom, and one part sleep deprivation. Throw in some extremely specific pop culture references and you've got a recipe for some hilarious and totally random Tumblr gems. You never know what people are gonna pull out of their heads and spit out as totally random Tumblr gems to occupy existing.
Puns are a lot like a party guest with a guitar: usually not welcome, but excellent when deployed appropriately. We can't really tell if we love or hate puns, but there's certainly a time and place for them. If you're in need of more wordplay, here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void.
If you insist on paying a third of the asking price, get rejected multiple times, and then bully the seller until they seem to magically change their mind and give you exactly what you wanted, you should be a little more skeptical than this guy. People are known to send lowballing dudes on wild goose chases. For another ridiculous car drama, here's a delusional buyer who rejected a $3K civic. The world keeps on turning, and entitled people never stop with their unyielding demands.

Funk Turkey let a bot write a song's worth of lyrics using a bunch of AC/DC lyrics as source material. They then took this word salad and performed it in the band's style. It seems like it hit the nail on the head. The song's called "Great Balls" for god's sake.
The lesson here seems to be clear. If you live with someone who likes to drink your leftover soda, don't hide you aquarium testing chemicals in a leftover soda. Thankfully this person is fine, but wow, what a way to accidentally harm yourself. For another mistaken person who messed up, here's a dude who thought a date was a job interview.
It's a tale as old as time. Someone wants a thing but says they don't want it, it gets sold, and their own entitlement convinces them that they've been somehow screwed out of a sure thing. For another dumb buyer not understanding what they're doing and getting mean about it, here's a delusional buyer in need of a cheap car rejecting a 3K civic.
People are dumb. You don't even need to see any classic facepalm moments of dumbness to know that. The interesting thing is that people are so reliably dumb that it's changed the reality of our world. Laws, warnings, products, industries and many other things exist because of human stupidity.
Unwanted Commercials makes commercials for various small businesses and craigslist ads. They do not tell the person or business that they've created an ad for them. They just do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
Whether it's because people think they deserve to have everything for no effort, or just think they should be allowed to take other people's stuff, the world is full of entitled people and their never-ending demands. From overreaching bosses to ridiculous customers and horrible strangers, there's just a whole lot of entitled individuals with unreasonable demands.
