taxidermy

If you're gonna go through the trouble of emptying out an animal, filling it with sawdust, gluing on some googly eyes and showing it off, it would behoove you to try your absolute best. These ones didn't fare so well in the afterlife. They say practice makes perfect but... yikes.

When you're in the business of stuffing dead things to make them look alive, it must be a hard realization that if your finished work looks like anything between living and dead, you've just created a monster. There are too many taxidermy fails that are stuffed with horror.

Bad Taxidermy can feel so downright cringeworthy that you just feel bad about yourself. We don't know what kind of self respecting museum or novelty shop would want to to put these on display, but the expressions are one of a kind. They look like oven mitts.

When it's done well, taxidermy can make an animal look like a fierce and dignified trophy, or even an accurate and fascinating tool to teach biology. But when it's done this way, it's probably some of the creepiest crap you'll see all day. Bad taxidermy really reminds you that you're looking at an animal someone tried to stuff full of preservatives. And the eyes. Dear god, the eyes.

When the concept is tacky, but the creation is tactful. Find more at r/ATBGE.

It's good that stuff like this exists. The items themselves aren't necessarily good, but it's good that they have a chance to see the light of day.
