Intro

Yesterday was a big day for Facebook. On it's eight anniversary, the world's largest social network filed to go public. The move brought the entire tech industry to a standstill as journalist, pundits, and analysts attempted to decipher what the an IPO would mean for the company founded by Mark Zuckerberg. Luckily, Zuck threw in a little letter where he detailed exactly what he thinks will go down. Other than continuing to adhere to the "Hacker Way", Zuckerberg told prospective investors that at its core, Facebook is still all about sharing and connecting.

But what happens when that sharing goes wrong? What happens when people use the Facebook platform for all forms for ridiculousness, embarrassing to themselves and their family? Well, you get Fails. We hipped you to the 50 Most Ridiculous Facebook Status Fails last year. This time around we're going to show you all the fuckery that goes down when people feel the need to share photos that would be better left on their iPhones. Keep reading to see the 50 Funniest Facebook Photo Fails.

Cheerleader Hoes

Rep Your Set

To paraphrase the great Dave Chappelle: "You're not a hoe, but you are wearing a hoe's uniform."

Fat arm

Positioning is Everything

The caption says it all: "That awkward moment when your mate's fat arm makes you look naked."

Spock

Star Flaws

It's going to be a wonderful moment when this girl happens across across the latest Star Trek movie. Her head may explode.

Naked Valentine

Valentine's Day Fail

What do you do when you can't afford jewelry, chocolates, flowers, or a teddy bear? Not this. Do not, under any circumstances, surprise your girl like this.

Bathroom Dog

Private Time

We know Facebook is all about sharing your life with your friends and family, but sometimes you should carve out a couple areas of your life that are, you know, just for you. LIke when you're using the bathroom and petting your dog.

Dick Head

We're going to go ahead and tell ourselves that homie didn't ask his barber to carve a dong onto his head.

Apple Book

This not what Steve Jobs had in mind when he advised everyone to Think Different.

Self Pic with Kid

Just Couldn't Wait

Ladies, here's a tip from us to you: Save the self-portaits for after your little one is all done brushing his or her teeth.

Blood on Collar

Blood Gang

Fellas, next time you want to be courteous and chivalrous and give a girl at a concert a better view by hoisting her up on her shoulders, you may want to do a quick background check.

Hard Halloween

Halloween Fail

This photo really makes you wonder what kind of family would take this picture, look it, see their son holding a massive dildo, and then go ahead and post it on Facebook. We're guessing the same kind of family that keeps dildos out in plainview. Or, the Kardashians.

Baby Drinking Beer

Getting 'Em Started Early

We've heard of parents rubbing hard liquor on a baby's gums to alleviate the pain of teething, but this is ridiculous. If we were the betting kind, we'd put money on this kid winding up on Sixteen and Pregnant one day.

Asleep in Class

Don't Fall Asleep in Class

There are a number of reasons you shouldn't fall asleep in class. For one, you'll miss whatever it is that is being taught. Secondly: Kids are assholes and will take a photo of you in a compromised position and share with the entire school.

Not Gene Simmons

Jean Simmons was a prolific Golden Globe-winning, Academy Award-nominated English actress who found success in stage plays and in many Hollywood films. She was not, as this poor girl believed, the singer/songwriter and bass player who founded the seminal rock band KISS back in the '70s. #TheMoreYouKnow.

American Wanksta

We're not sure what's worse: The graphics that look as if they were designed by four-year-old in Microsoft Paint, the use of the N word, or the fact that he's repping so hard hard for Soulja Boy. We're going to go with the haircut.

Stripper Mom

Role Pole Models

Well, educators of America, this is one way to get parents attention. Next time you can't get a parent to show up at a conference or to help their children with their schoolwork, put 'em on blast on Facebook.

Birth Control

Pill or No Pill?

We're sure her boyfriend wasn't too pleased to read to see this photo.

Pizza and Soda

Wild Boy

We first thought this dude passed out from killing a couple racks of beer and his friends decided to litter him with garbage. Then we looked a little closer and realized that this tub-of-lard wasn't drunk at all—he just ate himself into a stupor. Three pizzas, dog? Really?

Photoshop Curves

The Hips Do Lie

Leave the image retouching to the professionals.

Awesome Tat Fail

Spelling Fail #1

This guy obviously has a mental block when it comes to spelling the word "Awesome". Not only did homie get it incorrectly tatted on his back, he flubbed it again in the caption.

Creepy Dad

Creepy Pops

You know when it's time to shut down your Facebook account? When your Dad leaves you creepy comments about your bikini photos.

Manga Love

True Life: I'm in Love with an Animated Character

This has all the makings of a Catfish-like movie. We're not the only ones who thinks this guy created a Facebook account for that manga character and sends messages to himself, right? OK, cool.

Carson Daly

That's Not Conan O'Brien

Couple questions: Did this woman address Carson Daly as Conan O'Brien? And if so, Did Daly acquiesce because people no longer approach him asking for autographs and pictures? Carson Daly gets no respect. *Rodney Dangerfield voice*

Wedding Vowels

Real Love?

We're pretty sure she meant "Vows", but hey, they were talking, right? Vowels are exchanged through conversation, aren't they? Maybe, just maybe, she wrote what she meant.

Racist Halloween

Racism is Fun

Him: What are you going to be for Halloween? Her: A sexy devil. You? Him: Word. I'm gonna be racist.

No panties

Look, Ma, no underwear!

If your girl wears no panties to a two-year-old's birthday, she's about that life.

Megan Fox

Mistaken Identity

People posting pictures on Facebook of famous people they feel they resemble is nothing new. We just find it funny that this guy: One, Had no idea who Megan Fox was; two, Thought it was a girl he was friends with; and three, the girl didn't feel the need to correct the poor fool. Hopefully by now he's seen Transformers.

Child Support

It's His, She Spends It

This is what Kanye was talking about on "Gold Digger" when he said: "She was supposed to buy your shorty Tyco with your money/ She went to the doctor, got lypo with your money/ She walking around looking like Michael with your money".

Bob Hendrix

This Meme Needs to Die

Deep down inside we have to believe this was done purpose. We've seen this meme before on t-shirts and posters. We kind of get it: Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix were friends, often attending each other's shows and playing a game of soccer when time permitted. But, come on, tatting this meme on your arm as a tribute to the legend is fail.

Baby Rain

Talkin' 'Bout Baby Money?

Did you mother ever tell you to wash your hands after handling money? It's because the average bill and coin contains harmful germs like fecal bacteria and Staphlyoccus aureas. IN 1972, the Journal of the American Medical Association declared that "Money is truly dirty". That said: Why, why, why would you make it rain on your newborn baby?

Tattoo Picnic

Culture Shock

If you ever plan on getting a tattoo in a different language, it would behoove you consult with someone who speaks that language. Lest you wind up with a tat on your side that reads: Picnic Table. Unless, of course, you intend to get some dumb shit like that in the first place.

Halloween Fail

Halloween Fail #2

Oh...

Hairy

Hairy and the Hendersons

If we didn't know any better, we'd think someone photoshopped her head onto a man's body.

Two TVs

Movin' On Up

Maybe this person's grandmother doesn't want her grandkids to forgot how things used to be back in the day. That said, can we call her 2 TVz?

Wrong date of death

Never Forget?

This girl couldn't remember Michelle's life all that well if she forgot what day she passed away.

Guy and Ponies

Dog and Pony Show

Does this bring to mind the movie Zoo for anyone else? We imagine this would be a deal-breaker for most girls.

KKK Toga

Toga Party

It's all fun and games until someone comes to the party in their Klan robe.

Best Fake Id

Best Fake ID Ever

And by "best" we mean most ridiculous. The chances of this guy getting in anywhere with an ID that has two people in the photo is slimmer than the chances of Yung Berg making a comeback.

White Suite

Job Hunting 101

Unless you're auditioning for a role on CSI: Miami, or interviewing to be Tom Wolfe's assistant, it's best to leave the coke-white suit at home when heading to your job interviews.

Embarrassing the fam

You're Embarrassing the Family!

Heads up: Your parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins are now all on Facebook. Act accordingly.

Pre-game Bathroom

Pre-Game in the Bathroom

No matter how cute you look, having a dude taking a dump in the background will always knock you down a couple pegs.

Little kid picture

TMI, Mom!

It's always good to keep an eye on what your parents are posting on Facebook.

The Human Tampon

Referring to yourself as the human tampon is one thing, posting a picture of you as the human tampon is something completely different. This dude's friend said it best: "There are better ways of surrounding yourself with pussy."

Your Tattoo

That's What Friends are For

The true fail here is not the misspellings in the tattoo. It's the reaction the guy has when his friend alerts him that he incorrectly used the word "your": "Pirates didn't go to school ass face!!!! lol you think havin is a word y dident you correct that to u fuckin scollar hahaha yarr!!!" More of the story: Don't get a tattoo when drunk.

Planking

Happy Planking Holidays

We can't wait to see what they do for Easter.

Dad in Vegas

What Happens in Vegas Stays on Facebook

We didn't know you were allowed to take photos in strip clubs. Kudos to that man. However, he should have kept the images out of his daughters view.

Ebony and Ivory

Ebony & Ivory

These two are breaking down racial barriers just in time for Black History Month.

Minivan Drunk

One of Those Nights

Sometimes, when your friends are completely incapacitated, you must have some fun at their expense. And then post that fun to Facebook. Isn't that part of Zuckerberg's dream?
