20 Hilarious Inventors Who Tried Their Best, And That's What Matters...Probably

Some people's sole purpose on this Earth is to make the world a more convenient and exciting place for the rest of us. They are the sorts of people who go, "I've had this great idea..." and then proceed to tell you an idea that leaves you confused, scared, and yet curious.

So, with this in mind, please enjoy these 20 hilarious "inventors" who tried their best, and that's what matters...probably!

"Mow your lawn and drink your beer at the same time."

I like that they were trying to spice up the activity of mowing the lawn, but there has to be safer ways of doing this. Just holding a beer in one hand and sipping it occasionally is probably safer!

Some Of The Rarest Sneakers Around...

I wonder if these are buttered on the inside, just to make them even more comfortable? Still, $100 seems like a lot of dough for these sneakers. Get it... "dough"? You are bloody welcome for that.

"Oh, it is finally fixed!"

Okay, I have seen a lot of lazy fixes in my time, most of which were perpetrated by me, but this has got to be one of the laziest things I have ever laid eyes on. It is just majestic.

"That oughta do it!"

I do not think that I know enough about electronics to understand the extent of how dangerous this is. However, I am going to go out on a limb and assume that this ended with a small fire?

Better Than Driving Without A Mirror I Suppose?

Actually, this looks like it is a lot more adjustable than most car wing-mirrors out there. Also, you can always change the color of the mirror if you get bored of having a pink wing-mirror!

"At a first glance it's a minivan on a trailer..."

This is the perfect vehicle for the impending zombie apocalypse. The primary reason that I imagine this exists at the moment though is to ensure that their kids can get to school no matter what the weather!

"When you don't have a ceiling fan."

I think that the only problem here would be how annoying the flashing light would be. Also, I can't imagine that this would be very quiet compared to most ordinary ceiling fans, right?

"Behold, my friend's butt razor!"

Now this is some top tier engineering. The excessive use of duct tape is always a great design aesthetic. This guy should consider selling this invention — just as it is, no streamlining or improvements necessary. It could also double up as a back scratcher.

"Some signs of wear..."

Clearly the people of "Leatherhead" in England do not have an innate affinity with actual leather. I mean, $150?! I really want to know if they managed to sell this. Something tells me that they might have just ended up chucking it out.

"Gotta do what ya gotta do..."

I just cannot get over that girl's expression. She is perfectly channeling everyone's thoughts about what this guy is doing. I don't know what the point of this is, but I bet he had a sore neck afterwards.

"My dumbass solution to the problem of high-hanging fruit."

One individual wrote, "Tiki torches are designed for this? Boy, have I been using mine wrong!" I dread to think how many trees this person has set on fire while trying to get down high-hanging fruit!

"Oculus 2 weight balance fix..."

Is there anything that cannot be fixed and/or repaired with a bag of rice? Busted phone? Bag of rice! Busted VR headset? Bag of rice! Busted knee? Bag of rice! Crippling existentialism? Bag of rice!

"At a house, instead of fixing the broken exhaust fan, they covered it with tin foil."

So, their answer to a problem is to just cover it in tin foil and pretend that it doesn't exist? Well, this is the greatest idea I have ever heard. Excuse me while I go and cover all of my life's worries in tin foil!

"Let's just say that the guy I bought the backhoe from was...an interesting dude."

The previous owner could at least have painted the handle of this wrench yellow so that it would seamlessly blend in with the rest! That is some pretty shaky-looking welding as well.

"This man is living way before his time."

I hope that there was not a sudden gust of wind brewing on the horizon, not just for this guy's sake but for the sake of everyone else in the immediate vicinity.

"Hope he took the airbag out from behind the screen..."

I know that there is a lot wrong with this, but I cannot get over the fact that he installed a PS2. What a blast from the past that is.

"Mirror in my hotel room. I tried to fix it and found out they were glued like this."

Perhaps the person who installed this was trying to notify the room's occupants that there was some sort of hidden treasure underneath this room?

"My car's defrosters quit. Fixed it."

Now it just looks as though they are driving while looking through a periscope. Surely there has to be a better quick fix than this? Even if it just involves using an old rag.

"Lexus hatchback... I mean, latch-back."

This seems like the sort of thing that Mr Bean would do to fix his car. Although, it does also strike me as something that a kidnapper would employ in order to make it even harder to break out of their trunk.

"Never too young to start redneck-ing."

One individual did suggest, "Couldn't you swap in a key that you use less often, and then use the post-it on the less used key?" However, that seems like it will just lead to more disasters!
