We at Bored Panda are absolute suckers for all things design. Over the years, we've covered everything from weird shoes to creative packaging. And that's exactly what's so cool about it—there's always something new.
This time, however, you're in for a slightly more sinister treat. The subreddit 'Creepy Design' shares hilariously disturbing creations that prove common sense isn't that common. Whether we're talking about LSD-induced birthday cards or sinister costumes, these—let's call them ideas—would have definitely benefited from a second opinion before going to production!

And I know some of you are trying to be funny but some of you are not and none of them are really horrifying or creepy some of them are crudely made, some because they're old something cuz they just are. So I'm look like they need repair or cleaning but there's nothing really creepy showing there

LakotaWolf (she/her) LakotaWolf (she/her) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow Premium I'm a little confused by your wording. Are you trying to say that "the entire generation" (whatever generation you mean) is too sensitive? Just because YOU don't find something creepy doesn't mean that other people don't find it creepy, and they're allowed to find it creepy. It doesn't make them snowflakes or too sensitive or weak to find it creepy.
