25 Great Ideas That Were Executed So Horribly That They Are Making Us Howl

In general, what distinguishes a good design from a bad design is that a good design serves its purpose while being pleasant—or even enjoyable—to look at. Bad designs, on the other hand, are confusing, distracting, and hard to use. What if a design with the potential to make a positive impact was executed so terribly that the end result became a laughing stock? On the subreddit called Good Taste But Awful Execution (aka GTBAE), people share their encounters with ideas that were so poorly executed that they have to be categorized as epic fails.
