50 Epic Fails We Can't Stop Laughing at

1 | This baby made a new friend.

A trip to the zoo is a great way to keep your kids entertained for an afternoon. However, while watching the animals is fun, getting a ring-tailed lemur toupee—and trying to figure out how to get it off your sleeping infant without waking them up—is decidedly less so. And if that cracked you up, you'll love the 40 Funniest Jokes About Animals.

2 | This "water-boarded" baby.

Airplane air is notoriously dry, so it's always a good idea to stay hydrated when you hit cruising altitude. That said, giving your toddler free rein to possibly waterboard themselves is a more questionable parenting decision.

3 | This seedy situation.

The great thing about sunflower seeds is that their shells are biodegradable, meaning you can toss them back to Mother Nature without feeling an ounce of guilt. Caveat: if you are spitting them out the passenger window, make sure the window behind you isn't open, lest you adorn those napping in the backseat with your shells and spit. And for more hilarious hijinks, check out The 30 Funniest Pieces of Celebrity Parenting Advice.

4 | This perturbed pajama-wearer.

Once your kid is school-aged, you'll be juggling so many events that it can feel difficult to keep track. Of course, it's important to give their schedule more than just a cursory once-over, or you risk sending them to school in their SpongeBob PJs on what was supposed to be picture day, not pajama day.

5 | This "swimwear" selection.

Usually swimwear has a certain look to it: either shorts or something spandex-y that makes it easy to glide through the water. Of course, there are those who throw caution to the wind and enjoy a dip in a windbreaker instead—and fortunately, this store has them covered.

6 | This bathroom escapee.

Potty training isn't always as easy as parenting books make it seem. And sometimes, that means trying to catch a baby clad only in a diaper when you're just trying to enjoy a nice dinner.

7 | This condiment catastrophe.

Ketchup is the perfect complement to a good burger—in fact, some might say that one without ketchup is hardly worth eating. And if that sometimes means slurping some errant condiments off your baby's face to enjoy your meal, so be it. And when you want to do right by your own offspring, make sure you know these 40 Parenting Hacks for Raising an Amazing Kid.

8 | This menacing Minnie.

Character night lights are a great way to help your child overcome their fear of the dark. That is, of course, unless you've bought this Minnie Mouse one, which both illuminates a dark room and invites its viewers to join their dark carnival of souls.

9 | This Kardashtrophe.

Kourtney Kardashian's daughter, Penelope Scotland Disick, was probably expecting her mom to open the door for her—not directly onto her. And if you think that's wild, wait until you see these 50 Crazy Celebrity Facts You Won't Believe Are True.

10 | This stupidly-placed sink.

While most contractors and interior designers try to put sinks within reach, this design team decided to target an often-forgotten population: giants with meticulous hygiene.

11 | This overly-cautious sign placement.

While, in theory, it's nice to know that the carpet beneath your feet is going to be damp before stepping on it, using two signs to indicate a little bit of water on the rug is overstating the situation's danger, to say the last.

12 | This unique seating arrangement.

Getting your kid to sit still at dinner is no easy feat. And, of course, when parents ask their kids to stop wiggling around, they rarely add "and make sure your head is above your feet, too."

13 | This Crayola contour.

Getting the perfect Halloween makeup is more difficult than the package makes it seem sometimes. And, as was the case with this little girl, sometimes it just means you end up looking like a very upset grape.

While our understanding of human sexuality continues to expand, we're not sure that being Chinese will ever make the official list.

15 | This "do as I say, not as I do" moment.

The sign he's hanging may say "safety first," but his footing says, "who knows the shortest route to the hospital?"

16 | This precarious party set-up.

Sure, there are plenty of times we wished we had a way to keep our phones charged and our stereos plugged in while hanging out in the pool. Of course, we've never been so desperate that we risked electrocuting ourselves to do so, though.

17 | This shoddy spotter.

The point of bringing a spotter with you to the gym is to avoid injury. Unfortunately for this guy, seeing an attractive woman nearby meant all bets were off when it came to actually helping his friend with a heavy lift.

18 | This necksersizer.

There are many different ways of training a muscle, as evidenced by the multitude of workout styles you'll see in your average gym. However, it's hard to say just what can be achieved from this forehead strap workout—aside from a serious neck injury, that is.

19 | These school supplies.

For most kids, doing some back-to-school shopping means loading up on notebooks and pens. For the customers at this Target, however, it means snagging a couple of bottles of shiraz and some cheap sparkling wine.

20 | This parking job.

We've all been there: The only spot left in the parking lot is in a puddle, but you decide to go for it anyway. Of course, before making that call, it's pretty important to note whether or not said "puddle" is actually a pond in disguise.

21 | This mail fail.

Perhaps the owners of this mailbox weren't going for something intentionally confusing, but the "not for mail" sign directly over the one that indicates it's a letter receptacle certainly has us scratching our heads.

22 | This perilous plug.

It doesn't take an electrician to know that, no matter how much it might pique your curiosity, you should never test out the mystery plug.

24 | This lipstick look.

Kids love copying their parents' behavior, and in most cases, it turns out adorably, with little feet clomping around in high heels or pretending to shave in the mirror with a comb.

27 | This woeful windmill.

The fight against human trafficking is a noble cause. Training people to enter the industry, as this sign suggests? Not so much.

We don't want to be spoilsports about this, but we think that "phenomenal" may be an overstatement regarding the skill of this driver.

Why pave a surface correctly the first time when you can very carefully balance your body on a bucket and board, hoping the entire time you don't end up with a face full of cement in the process?

33 | This fire safety fail.

They say that you can't watch your kids every second of every day, and that certainly seems to be the case with this Spider-Man-in-training, whose epic climbing skills seem to have even impressed his contractor pal.

They say hindsight is 20/20, and we're sure whoever designed this absolutely obsolete machine is likely thinking twice about their choice of slogan right about now.

Perhaps the recipient of this cake is choosing between a life in two cities in Arizona. However, what its lettering indicates is that they have the choice between becoming Italian and going to a merrily misspelled land.

38 | This boardwalk bro.

39 | This poolside partier.

Catching up with your friends by the pool is the ultimate way to relax on vacation. Unfortunately, the wrong shoes and a poor sense of balance can easily lead to catastrophes-to-be like this one.

While it's always nice to save space in a small kitchen, rendering the room's cabinets and drawers completely useless in the process is rarely the work of an A-plus contractor.

41 | This fiery pose.

Before attempting to work your angles in a group photo, first make sure there are no candles on the table that might accidentally set your head on fire.

This biker may have thought he was nailing this stunt right before the picture was snapped, but it's clear that he was a little premature in providing assurances that everything was A-OK.

Babyproofing your home is essential before you bring a little one home. What you won't find in any parenting books, however, are suggestions to substitute traditional outlet covers with corn cob holders.

47 | This Coke catastrophe.

The "Share a Coke With..." campaign is generally taken to mean just that—and not "lob a full bottle at your unsuspecting friend's face."

While the mask itself is a little off-putting, the idea that it's so detoxifying that vegetation will literally grow from your eyeballs is even more so.

49 | This disastrous door.
