People Are Sharing Their Custom Face Mask Fails and They’re Hilarious

Wearing masks is part of the new normal we all live with these days, and that’s fine. There are a lot of face mask options out there, which at least makes it fun.

For example, you can find literary-themed face masks, movie-themed face masks, and even totally custom-designed face masks.

Of course, as with anything that you have completely designed for you, the odds that it will be a little off are generally quite high.

People have started sharing their own custom face mask fails, and honestly, this is probably the laugh that you need today.

Be warned: some of these are hilarious, and some are downright terrifying. This guy’s mask is relatively normal, right?

Well… get ready for the next one:

It seems like something is a little off with this one…

This guy definitely should have chosen a different design, or perhaps a different shop altogether.

This one isn’t too bad, except it reminds me of an oven mitt.

Again, another with the oven mitt design!

This one is almost entirely reminiscent of an actual face, which makes it a little spooky:

This is just… a hard no.

These two decided to get a two-for-one deal, but it seems that just about everything is flat-out wrong.

Why are we doing oven mitts on our faces, people?

Maybe see if they do refunds?

Decided to try and get one of those custom face-masks… it didn’t turn out so good… from funny

This one is just… so close, but still so far away.

How wild are some of those masks? Which is your favorite fail? Make sure you let us know in the comments!

Photos of a 433-Pound Gorilla Getting a COVID Test Have Freaked Out the Internet

If you have to get a medical procedure taken care of, getting tested for COVID-19 is just part of the process right now.

It turns out this is true even if you are a 433-pound gorilla.

Shango is a gorilla who recently got into a fight with his brother. He was injured and needed to have a few wounds tended to.

Before the team assisting him could dive in, they had to make sure he didn’t have COVID-19, which turns into coronavirus.

Someone was on hand to document the entire experience, and the photos of Shango getting his COVID test have completely startled the internet.

It all started when a member of the team at the Miami Zoo shared the news to Twitter.

First, they had to weigh Shango, which in and of itself is a feat.

Once his test came back negative, the team had to get X-rays to see if Shango had any damage to his bone. He also needed an ultrasound, to be checked for tuberculosis, and to have his teeth looked at.

The team even had to intubate Shango.

Since most of us will never, ever see a gorilla in real life, let alone one in this state, the photos are definitely jarring.

The Miami Zoo team also performed several of the procedures at the same time, so that Shango wasn’t under anesthesia for too long.

Awkward Moments by People Who Had No Idea Who They Were Talking to Online

Here’s some advice from someone who has been on Twitter pretty much since its inception (and who is old enough to remember the introduction of MySpace (yikes!) – always take a moment to vet who you’re speaking with online before you let loose.

You’ll thank me when you don’t turn out to be the person who explains Stephen King’s books to Stephen King, et al.

If you think there aren’t that many instances of such a thing happening, well, think again – and these 11 people are the proof in the pudding.

11. To be fair, I had to Google this one.

He’s the guy who killed Bin Laden. Like, actually.

Image Credit: Imgur

10. This happens to women way too often.

The more educated she is, the more often it happens to her.

Image Credit: Imgur

9. That will mess with your head for a minute.

Then you can smack someone.

Image Credit: Imgur

8. The tongue-in-cheek is the best.

Hopefully gets the point across without being rude.

Image Credit: Imgur

7. Corporations are so disconnected.

Right hand, meet left foot.

Image Credit: Imgur

6. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall there.

Or just to have seen the look on his face.

Image Credit: Imgur 

5. Well, this is awkward.

You still don’t have to agree, but…

Image Credit: Reddit

4. Why is that so hard to believe?

Was she wearing jeans? Or just a vagina?

Image Credit: Imgur

3. You just shake your head.

And probably wonder if you’re the one who’s nuts for a minute.

Image Credit: Reddit

2. This is awkward.

Someone is getting fired and I don’t think it’s Renee.

Image Credit: Imgur

1. These random lectures are annoying.

You should probably make sure you’re not preaching to the choir.

Image Credit: Reddit

I’m embarrassed for these people. Really, really embarrassed.

If you have a story that would fit on this list, I want to hear it in the comments!

Parents Know How True These 11 Tweets Actually Are

There are some things in life you can’t know until you experience them, and no matter how much time you’ve spent around other people’s kids, the dark and unholy truths about parenting is one of those things.

If you’re a parent, you know these 11 tweets are too real.

If you’re not, you’ll still think they’re funny.

11. Your teen will absolutely love it.

And I mean, they will hate it and you.

10. She knows exactly what she’s doing.

They always do.

9. They need water like a man in the desert.

Also a million other things.

8. Or possible his father.

But probably the kid and this is hilarious.

7. She’s just making sure it’s fine.

And showing him how it’s done.

6. It’s terrible when they work in tandem.

But also you’re kind of proud.

5. Where are the smells coming from?

It seems impossible to track them all down at once.

4. They can be really mean.

And sweet. Like sour gummies.

3. And then he thinks you’re insane.

Those little heathens know exactly what they’re doing.

2. Now that is a sick burn.

At least she’s learning history.

1. She learned from the best.

He’s not going to get mad at her, though.

I think they’re funny and they make me want to cry and make another cup of coffee.

Two reasons… first, I know these are so true. Second, I like caffeine and I need more of that to get through the day.

Okay, but enough about me! Let’s hear what you have to say!

Let us know which of these speaks to your soul… in the comments!

Parenting Tweets That Moms and Dads Will Feel Deep Down in Their Souls

All of us joke about the silly, odd, frustrating, and annoying aspects of parenting.

That’s it. That’s the pitch – no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

So you know, if you’re a parent, these 12 tweets are going to see all too real.

12. As long as there’s coffee, everything will be fine.

Mostly. Probably. Don’t run out.

11. I wish I was this kind of mom.

I am the opposite sort of mom.

10. Or make that squeaking sound.

Whoever invented those is the worst.

9. Isn’t it cute how they watch everything you do?

And then repeat it at the worst possible moment?

8. Kids are kind of magic, aren’t they?

For better or worse.

7. I think that’s why they invented a Ken.

Why else would he be necessary? He has no genitals.

6. Throw in some Netflix and he’s got it.

The trifecta, as George Costanza would say.

5. You still had to stop and listen, though.

It’s a parent rule.

4. It’s a step in the right direction.

Though I doubt she would have cleaned it up afterward.

3. This is actually a necessary thing in life.

Where’s the Kickstarter?

2. She was also accidentally very quiet.

And sitting somewhere very out of the way.

1. I don’t think a sore throat is a symptom.

Of course, you never can tell.

Isn’t it nice to know we’re not alone, though?

What’s the realest thing your kids have done this week? Tell us about it in the comments!

14 Times Tweets From Parents Got Really Real

There’s nothing like getting a laugh at the expense of another parent, right?

I mean, you’re laughing with them, because you know for a fact that tomorrow (or in twenty minutes) your kid could be the one being tweet-worthy, right?

Because they have been in the past, and all kids are a little bit as$hole when it comes down to it.

So quick, before they turn on you – read through these 14 tweets from other real parents who are in the thick of it.

14. The thing you couldn’t wait to quit.

It becomes the thing that makes you openly weep over a bag of milk.

13. All’s fair in love and war.

Now go to your room and think about what you said.

12. Everyone is alive, though?

And now you get to do it all again!

11. Every woman knows that’s justifiable homicide.

Fingers crossed for a lady judge.

10. Don’t even bother because you’re never cleaning it up.

9. A mint in paper towels.

Or two loads of laundry every day instead of one. Take your pick.

8. Or around the blobs of food they dropped on you.

Or the drips of sunscreen that were supposed to be on them.

7. There is room for a third option.

Not much, though.

6. If she’s asleep, you want her to move just a bit.

Motherhood is constant contradictions.

5. Spoiler alert: It’s because he didn’t actually eat dinner.

He’s been holding out for snacks the whole time.

4. Or trying to teach a toddler how to do anything.

Maybe that’s just my toddler. *counts gray hairs*

3. And your partner can’t stop laughing.

Sounds about right.

2. That’s not a bad way to look at it.

It’s better than screaming into the void.

1. Oh come on we all forget words sometimes!

And stand in front of the open freezer trying to remember what we were doing.

I’m feeling relieved to know I’m not alone!

How are your kids today? Fist-bump for getting through it!

13 of the Best Rollercoasters in America

If you love rollercoasters and thrill rides of all sorts, you might have a bucket list that looks different than most – and if it’s to ride the most dangerous, craziest roller coasters around, we’ve got you covered!

Here are 13 of the most iconic roller coasters across the USA.

13. Rampage

Bessemer, Alabama, is home to Alabama Adventure Amusement Park, where Rampage – a 120-foot tall wooden coaster runs at 56mph and boasts a 102-foot drop.

12. Desert Storm

Castles-n-Coasters is located in Phoenix, and Desert Storm takes you on double upside-down loops, vertical, drops, spins – the words.

Its 90-feet tall but only lasts 90 seconds from start to finish – anyone can manage that!

11. X2

At Six Flags Magic Mountain, you can find an innovative “fifth dimension” roller coaster.

It features 360-degree seats that extend on wings off the track, leaving your body free to flip around while the coaster makes its way around the tracks.

No. Thank. You.

10. Cliffhanger Rollercoaster

This coaster, located at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, is the “highest elevation full-sized roller coaster in North America,” and sits at at altitude of 7160 feet.

The views are great, if you don’t mind opening your eyes while you’re screaming.

9. Boulder Dash

This rollercoaster, located at Lake Compounce in Bristol, was awarded the title of Best Wooden Roller Coaster in the World in 2013.

It reaches a top speed of 60mph, and apparently is just full of surprises.

8. SuperFlip 360

Delaware is also home to no actual rollercoasters, but Funland in Rehoboth Beach does have this thing that swings you around 360 degrees.

It should make you want to puke, if nothing else.

7. Tigris

Busch Garden’s Tigris beats out coasters at Sea World due to it’s tall launch, number of loops and drops, and the fact that it tops out at 60mph.

6. Goliath (Six Flags Over Georgia)

Six Flags over Georgia in Austell introduced Goliath in 2006, and the first drop may have you wishing you’d taken the chicken exit.

5. Aftershock

Silverwood Theme Park in Athol is home to the world’s “Top Hanging Coaster,” the Aftershock.

It’s 191-feet tall, sends you forward, backward, and upside down, and will make you think twice about having lunch before you get on.

4. Goliath (Six Flags Over America)

Yes, there’s another Goliath. There are actually six, but this one is as Six Flags Great America, near Chicago.

This huge wooden roller coaster that will lift you out of your seat on more than one occasion.

3. The Voyage

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is a theme park in the town of Santa Clause.

It’s biggest, baddest offering is The Voyage, a wooden coaster with steep drops, underground tunnels, and turns that will have you holding on for dear life.

2. The Monster

Adventureland, in Altoona, offers you The Monster, which loops, corkscrews, and something called an Immelmann that should give you pause.

1. T3

https://www.instagram.com/p/B–GwonhFSV/

Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville features a ride that will scare the crap out of you with terrifying loops and inversions that never seem to stop.

Have you ridden any of these?

Behind-The-Scenes ‘Saturday Night Live’ Stories You’ve Never Heard

Saturday Night Live can be considered a cultural institution in the United States. Generations of people have grown up watching the weekend comedy hour, and a lot of people continue to watch it each week.

With a show that has been so popular for so long, it can be easy to assume that we know everything there is to know about the cast and crew, both of the past and the present.

But there are always secrets out there, even for a show’s most diehard fans.

Here 14 behind-the-scenes Saturday Night Live stories that even the show’s biggest fans haven’t heard yet.

1. Will Ferrell for a whole season

That’s right: funnyman Will Ferrell once wore the exact same outfit — jeans, a Western-style shirt, and a trucker hat — for an entire season of the show.

2. Seth Meyers used to get pranked.

Fred Armisen and Bill Hader used to have a favorite hobby: calling Seth Meyers in the middle of the night as a prank.

The pair would pretend they were the hosts of a radio show, and that they had accidentally given out Seth’s phone number on the air.

3. Bill Hader couldn’t handle Kate.

One of the big rules at SNL is that anyone who watches someone audition absolutely cannot laugh, no matter how funny they are.

The story goes that during Kate McKinnon’s audition, Bill Hader had to be removed from the room because he couldn’t stop cracking up.

4. Larry David once quit.

Larry David got so mad that his sketches didn’t make it to the show that he once stormed out of the studio and quit… but then came right back to work on Monday.

5. The season 27 wrap party was wild.

The writers threw a massive party that included a slip ‘n’ slide made up of spilled punch, and Horatio Sanz fractured his ribs while sliding!

6. They made bets about Paris Hilton.

Seth Meyers bet $1,000 that he’d be the first person Paris would ask a personal question of, but in the end, no one won the money.

7. Will Ferrell accidentally punched Ellen.

When Ellen DeGeneres hosted the show, Will accidentally punched her in the face while rehearsing!

8. Cheri Oteri almost missed her audition.

The SNL alum had terrible food poisoning the night before her audition, though she ended up making it.

9. Rachel Dratch threw out her back.

Rachel once threw out her back during a read-through, and Johnny Knoxville offered her a pile of miscellaneous pills that he pulled out of his pocket.

10. Male cast members were kind of gross.

It turns out that male cast members used to pee in cups and just… leave the cups around their offices.

In fact, Tina Fey explained that this appears to be the difference between male and female cast members of SNL.

11. Kate McKinnon put a hole in her wall.

The story goes like this: after finding out the SNL offices were being renovated and a wall would be torn down, Kate decided to dance around her office with a hammer.

She ended up knocking a big hole in the wall… and then found out they were just being painted, not torn down. Oops!

12. John Hamm helped out.

The night before John hosted the show, a heavily pregnant Amy received a call that her OBGYN had died of a heart attack.

When she burst into tears, no one knew what to do.

John sprang into action, telling her, “This is a really important show for me, I need you to get your shit together.”

Amy ended up laughing.

13. Barack Obama made a change.

Lorne Michael once cut a sketch from the show because a then-candidate Obama thought it was funny, but too much.

14. Dog food saved Eddie.

Nearly the entire cast was fired during Eddie Murphy’s first season, but he kept his job because the head writer, Michael O’Donoghue, thought that Eddie actually ate dog food on the air.

It turns out he ate hash instead, but he still had this job.

Aren’t those stories wild? Which one is your favorite?
