[WafflesandBacon]

skinny jeans
pop music(Now not old school)
Snuggie(hurts to type that)
and 4kids tv

 

[Baby Eater]

An ejector seat on a helicopter.
Or emo.

the ejector seat on a choppa is a great idea if someone keeps backseat flying. maybe you need a dejector seat?

 

[mattttherman3]

Crack, Twitter, text messaging(for cell phones)

 

[SnipErlite]

No invention is a bad invention because one day that invention may be needed , even the dvd rewinder(lol) it might be a 1 to 1 million chance but a 1 to 1 million chance happens 9 times out of 10.(cookies are on the table waiting for you.)

Hmm nice Terry Pratchett touch there


But really, worst ever? Hmmm religious extremism? People who blow things massively out of proportion? People who cant just SEE THE WORLD HOW IT IS??

Ie. people

Oh, and 4chan certainly isnt the worst - yes i know the evil theyve done and created but they DID save Dusty the Cat, among other good things

Then of course, there is wireconductors for electricity. Just imagine if Nikolai Tesla got his way? We wouldn't need outlets or sockets, our stuff could be powered by electricity in the air!

*sighhhh* Tesla is so dreaaaamy.
Ahem.
Going to have to go with TV. And then MTV. If you've ever seen Sweet 16, I implore you to NEVER tune into MTV because there's even the tiniest chance you might see that...that...monstrosity.

 

[badgersprite]

A solar powered torch...

The lobotomy was also a ridiculously stupid idea, but then the Doctor most renowned for performing them was a whackjob.

 

[Ghonzor]

Twitter or country music

or people twittering about country music...

God help us all.

You know it's one of the signs of the apocolypse right?
Genisis 3:24
"yay" said the lord onto him "and forward shall ride the 4 horseman, blood shall rain from the sky, tom cruise will be awarded the oscar for best actor, and the young and old shal twitter of the music that drew foruth from the south, and then and only then, you shal know my true wrath."
....luckily the first 3 havn't come true yet, wich is unfortunet about the blood rain one....cuz tha'd kick ass!

I like the effort, but Genesis? Really? The FIRST book of the bible?

Yeah sorry I meant Revilations, I couldn't think of the name so I asked someone and they said Genesis, so I just put that
Really though that's was a bad mistake lol
you know there are people who believe in every single word genesis says
I, personaly, don't think phil collins was that good of a drummer.

For the Genesis reference, you are now my favorite person on this site.
Well done.

And yes, those crazy Christians...

The fiat Bravo. whyyyy???

[Hitman 43]

Damn you people are fast!

Um...that's what she said?

Anyway, it's probbaly not THE worst invention ever, but it is pretty bad. The Wii. Why? Because of Wii Sports and Darts and such are useless, no where as good as ACTUALLY doing the activaty and it's making some people lazy.

 

[theultimateend]

Agriculture. By allowing more humans to live than before we ruined a perfectly good planet. Medicine is a close second. I just hope we invent a weapon strong enough to undo the damage agriculture has done.

I highly doubt we'll permanently defeat the earth. Albeit if we start a runaway effect we could Venus the place.

The vaginal anti-rape device.

... I think you have a problem or are just one sick individual.

Or he is just disturbed by tampons that have spikes on them.

 

[faceless chick]

The stick.

It was patented in the 90s as "animal toy" with a graphic drawing of a wooden stick and "how-to-use" instructions.
So apparently, it's an "invention".
Humanity has really sunk to a new law.

That or the machine to kick yourself in the rear for laughs, but that one wins the "cartoon-to-reality" award so I guess it stays.

 

[Celith]

wii darts, wii bowling ball and the joke tazer that shoots at the holder

.....WHY!?

The Joke Tazer sounds evil yet an awesome joke.

Yeah nothing is funnier than having someone who is desperatly trying to defend themselves against a mugger instead get shocked and fall to the ground convulsing as the criminal helps himself to their stuff and then probably stabs them.

Still sound funny to give someone a fake self defense weapon?

Hey maybe we should give our cops fake guns, that would be REALLY funny

Yes it still sounds hilarious.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Escort missions.

 

[Baby Eater]

the tampon shaped tazer i shit you not

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Damn you people are fast!

Just wait for when we encounter a fail thread. We can amass many more.

Welcome to the Escapist.

OT: Just watch Dragon's Den. You will see a multitude of bad inventions.

Or the shitty American version Shark Tank, where all of the investors are the typical Reality Show archetypes and everybody cries at some point.

But god bless them for giving Robert Herjavec and Kevin O'Leary more money.
