Pumpkin Carving Fails That Will Rot Away The Little Hope You Had Left For Humanity

Why do we even try anymore? Whether it's trying to be the "hot girl" part of hot girl summer, going to the gym, or reinstalling Tinder for the 50th time, my endeavors are bound to fail and I've just accepted that. So, if you're like me and chronically cannot get your life together, here are some ugly pumpkins carved by people who are riding the struggle bus as hard as you are.

I get that we can't all be Picassos of the pumpkin trade, I get that. But can we at least all give it an honest effort? Because some of these just suck and I'm not convinced there was even an attempt.

This One Looks Like It's Shocked To Be Alive

Yeah dude, same over here. This mildly shocked pumpkin looks like it couldn't care less if it lives or dies because it's just happy it's gotten a couple of minutes on Earth. Gourd for you, what's that feel like?

This is basically just a gauntlet to decide who the weaker sibling is and I can confidently say that we haven't got an answer. There are no winners to this one except maybe the plants that are going to get the fertilizer that these pumpkins will be made into.

Why even bother putting the tape on? I'm confused if preserving the window design with its lovely permanent marker outlines is really worth all of that extra effort this person is putting in. Is this a mother's love?

Honestly, Marvel needs to hop on another Avengers sequel where Iron Man struggles to form a sense of identity and self-confidence after staring at bad pumpkin replicas of himself. It's okay dude, I'm sure you definitely don't have the teeth of a 14th-century peasant in real life.

Finn's dazed smile is the level of happiness with life I want to be on. This thing has no idea how hard life is, probably because it hasn't seen itself in a mirror. Lucky.

Here's why this one failed: you have to be using a knife with a serrated edge. You're putting in a pedestrian effort at best if you're using a $1 Betty Croker chopping knife from the dollar store like Scott. Trust me, I know. I have the same one.

Alright Brody, if you're applying to medical school I believe that this pumpkin will firmly put that dream in the ground. The moment any school sees the love you have of avant garde rhinoplasties you can kiss your Clooney in Grey's Anatomy dreams goodbye.

The inspiration for this creation was probably just a bag of trash on the road. This creator stared long and hard at a decayed carton of Almond Dream and thought they could make art out of it. And we're so thankful they did.

The whiskers are this thing's only recognizable cat feature, but it's too bad there's about ten of them and they all look beat. I don't even want to ask what's going on at the top.

Why stop at keeping the pumpkin on the porch when you can move that beauty right on up to the front of your child's closet? You spent time on it so why not have the whole family enjoy your creation? You wanna be a princess for Halloween, Sophie? That's nice, now put this gourd over your face.

It's so nice to see people getting in on the holidays as a family even if they're not related. Although these day-walkers were probably spawned out of the same Necronomicon at some point.

So the one on the right is missing a few things. Namely, a couple of eyebrows, the "M" on the forehead, the stache, and a dislike for human blood. This thing looks like it needs about three more souls until it can complete its transformation into a real face.

Glad this person has a sense of humor about this because I don't think the pumpkin is smiling. Actually, it could be. Can't really tell too much from that gaping mouth other than this thing is due for a dental exam and a swift boot into orbit.

Okay, I understand nothing except for the actual VW logo. This monstrosity has eyes, nostrils, a mouth, and some menacing eyebrows, so how exactly is this supposed to resemble a car? Maybe this is one of the new self-driving cars that can do it because it has a soul stuck inside it. Most insurance plans don't cover exorcisms though.

Is this a demon with a bob? Is this the guy from The Nightmare Before Christmas? Is it the sorting hat from Harry Potter? I have so many questions and thanks to this person I won't be sleeping tonight because I'm scared my sleep paralysis demon is going to waltz into my nightmares with a Karen bob-cut.

I've learned a thing today on top of all the other things. Thanks to this early explorer I've learned that pumpkins lose the will to live the longer they stay in this world. Actually, I already knew that because of, you know, my own life.

Justin was done dirty by this artisté who really put zero sweat into this. I've seen better carvings on the sides of high school desks by grade 10 students calling each other out for the lies they told about them. Don't belieb everything you hear.

Hey naked baby, I get it. Looking at all of these I feel the same things you're feeling. But hey, at least if you wait five days out on the porch this thing will deflate and you can get out. Silver lining, kid.
