Purpose and function are just a couple of words that cross our minds when we think about design. After all, professionals put in mountains of effort to create something clever, timeless, visually pleasing, and convenient for the user. So it feels almost like a given that they have good taste too, right? Well, apparently not! And there’s a whole online community dedicated to proving it.
Let us introduce you to the ‘Awful Taste But Great Execution’ (ATBGE) subreddit where a whopping 1.7 million members share overwhelmingly gaudy, tacky, and tasteless examples of product design that are, surprisingly, produced in the best possible way. “Work done so well, you won’t know whether to love it or hate it,” the moderators explain in the description. After diving into their feed, we totally see why.
We at Bored Panda have scoured the community and gathered some of the most painfully hilarious examples to share with you all. So continue scrolling and get ready to applaud the craftsmanship these designers demonstrated while poking fun at their complete lack of sense for aesthetics. Then upvote your favorite entries and let us know what you think of them in the comments!
Psst! After you’re done with this list, be sure to check out earlier parts of this painful-to-watch feature right here, here, and over here.
