‘Tastes like Grandma’ and other accidentally horrifying copy

Trick or treat?!

Last Halloween, you rang my doorbell and I gave you one helluva treat: horrifying copywriting fails. You loved it so much that I cooked up a second batch this year.

Here’s a bucket of individually wrapped horror copy fails. Enjoy (but try not to make yourself sick, yeah?)!

LOLs at the graveyard

Come join the fun at the cemetery — rotted corpses always know how to bring the laughs.

Grandma on toast

I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I enjoy more than the delicious taste of Grandma.

Dog tales

It’s a sad state of affairs when a Good Boy has to say ‘goodbye’ to his testicles.

It’s only pukee

Don’t worry, you guys. It’s all-natural.

Education is important

…almost as important as spelling, y’all.

Crafts we can all enjoy

Learn to make your own fancy coffin.

I want mine to be made of black velvet and Adam Driver’s precious tears.

Want something juicy?

Yeah man, I hear you.

Impending reptile attack

I wonder if it will be hundreds of small lizards or one single Godzilla-type?

You are not a train

I know this doesn’t strictly fit the ‘horrifying’ brief, but it’s always sad to be told you’re not a train.

Also it was too funny not to include.

A casual farewell

Like, really fucking casual.
