 This is what Hell’s Kitchen really looks like.

It’d be impossible for everyone to be a gourmet chef. Some people specialize in microwaved meals while others are awesome at boiling water and adding noodles. These 21 people, however, are so terrible at cooking they shouldn’t be legally allowed in the kitchen. Just boiling water would be an issue for them.
Their cooking fails are so epic and so terrible, they nearly defy the laws of physics. How did any of this happen?

 I can’t even imagine what they were going for here.

You know it’s bad when this wasn’t meant to be BBQ.

You may get diabetes from just looking at that.

HOW do you make cookie dough do this?!

Mmm. Burned everything.

P.S. That’s now how you cook a pizza.

I hope someone has takeout handy. And a fire extinguisher.

Are those… nachos?

This is so bad, science can’t even explain it.

When cinnamon rolls go bad.

These kind of look edible?

I just feel bad for these cake pops.

When cooking, please avoid burning down the house.

Oops-meal.

Pineapple upside-down-and-exploded cake! Yum!

This is why you shouldn’t boil eggs for hours.

How does one mess up Ramen noodles?

Angry, angry cookie monster…

Pro tip: quesadillas should have more than black beans inside.

This is NOT how you make sticky sushi rice.

When these people cook, this is what happens.

D’oh.

So take pity on those who are cuisine-challenged. It’s not their fault. It’s not a choice. They were born this way… so buy them a box of Pop Tarts and share this article.

Don’t get cocky. Big ups to r/PrematureCelebration for the inspiration and schadenfreude.

Because the shot isn’t going in:

Because your rollerblades can’t magically win first place:

Because there’s someone right behind you:

There’s ALWAYS someone behind you:

Well, except when it matters:

Because riding anything without hands is really hard:

And scoring without the ball is also really hard:

Because there’s always time left:

The clock doesn’t care about your celebration:

Because you can’t clap your way to the finish line:

Or point your way:

And you certainly can’t fist-pump your way to the finish line:

Because you rolling over isn’t going to make that goal count:

And your cockiness isn’t going to make your hand come out better:
