10+ People Who Should Never Attempt Thanksgiving DIYs Again

I always admire people who have it all together when it comes to hosting Thanksgiving. I've never done it myself. I've seen some awesome Thanksgiving spreads and I've also seen some terrible fails.

Which category do you fall under? If you're anything like these people I think you should seriously consider leaving the organization of Thanksgiving to someone else. Someone who's obviously more equipped to handle it. Ha, ha!

1. The Pumpkin Pie Killer

You slaved in the kitchen all day and made amazing pumpkin, but then you forgot to grab it properly and this is the end result.

2. The Person Who Burned The Turkey

I know cooking turkey is the trickiest part of Thanksgiving. Getting it right is definitely key. So make sure you're not this person who left the bird in the oven too long.

3. This Failed Pumpkin Bundt Cake

I love bundt cake! However, the person who made this disaster must've mistaken Thanksgiving for Halloween. Am I right? This looks totally scary. LOL!

4. Trying To Go Fancy

Listen, if you're awesome at cooking, go right ahead and get fancy. But if you're challenged in the kitchen, stick to simple stuff. Okay?

5. The Person Who's Trying To Be Creative

Hey, I like to be creative too, but if it's not your cup of tea, just stick to what you know.

6. The Cookie Monster

Is it just me or do these look horrible? I give them credit for trying, but this would be a pass for me. Ha, ha.

7. This Unfortunate Cake

Cake Wrecks

Speaking of horrible mistakes, it's awesome they wanted to make a cake resembling a turkey, but this one resembles something entirely different. Are you feeling me?

8. This "Enhanced" Turkey

Pinterest

Seriously, is somebody making a joke here? They can't possibly think this turkey is appropriate for family Thanksgiving. Can they? I bet grandpa will love it.

9. This Fire Starter

You know things are going from bad to worse when you set your Thanksgiving table on fire even before the dinner gets started. OMG. WTF?

10. This Pumpkin Pie Fiasco

This is exactly why I didn't make a pumpkin pie with my leftovers from Halloween. Knowing my baking skills, this would be very likely.

11. This Jokester

Pinterest

I have to admit this is pretty funny. But you may not get anything done for your Thanksgiving dinner if you keep this person around. LOL.

12. This Turkey

Speaking of jokesters, how do you like this one? I guess this was the turkey's reaction when it found out it's going to get stuffed. Hee, hee.

13. Whatever These Are

These pretzel treats were supposed to be cute and yummy, not scary! These poor pretzels have no idea what happened to them.

14. These Turkeys Never Had A Chance

These creative bakers decided to improvise when they couldn't find candy corn and this was the result. Sometimes, it's best to stick to the recipe.

15. Pumpkin Pretzels Gone Wrong

How hard could it be to make chocolate-covered pretzels? Apparently, harder than you'd think.

16. Cranberry Candles

I am so confused about this. Were they supposed to be a decoration or a salad? Nothing makes sense anymore!

17. Just Why?

Reddit | blepboi69420

This bean-covered pumpkin makes me feel so weird. I honestly thought it was covered in bugs at first. Yikes!

18. You Can't Fool Us

Don't even think about trying to repurpose your Halloween decorations for Thanksgiving. It's just not going to work.

19. Exploding Tarts

If you've ever wondered if it's possible to explode an entire batch of butter tarts at the same time, here's your answer. At least they still tasted good.

20. Trying A Vintage Recipe

Maybe there's a reason why those Jell-o mold recipes went out of style. Who would want to eat this pile of goo?

21. Burning The Biscuits

Oh boy, those biscuits should have been taken out a long time ago. At this point, it's probably best to hide the evidence and pretend this never happened.

22. Trying to Please The Kids

We know kids can be picky eaters, but please do not add food coloring to mac and cheese. This looks like unicorn vomit, to be honest.

I bet you feel a whole lot better now that you've seen how other people can screw up Thanksgiving too.

Let's face it, not everyone can be Martha Stewart. Indeed.
