Enhancing photos has been around almost as long as photography has been around. But with Instagram, there has been a whole new rise in photo retouching. And some of the results are painfully awful.

Instagram is a funny site. It feels so competitive. At least with Facebook, there’s the illusion of friendliness in front of the rivalry. But with Instagram, everyone is in an all-out war to have the flashiest photo. And sometimes, people really miss the mark, as these photos prove.

1. And they say Barbie dolls are unrealistic

All guys like to imagine this is what happens when they breathe in.

2. Mirror, mirror on the wall

If only she’d cropped it all!

3. When you strive for the store mannequin look

And to top it all off, let’s have some snake eyes!

4. You’ll be seeing her in your nightmares for months

When you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re an alien invader.

5. She thought she had the perfect distraction

Yes, those are my natural nostrils.

6. She can probably walk really fast

And she gets her pants made out of curtains.

7. Who gave a CPR dummy a license?

At least I hope he’s for CPR.

8. Ma’am, there’s something on your nose…

Don’t you just hate it when the edge of your eye and your nose fight?

9. You could call this “marshmallow chic”

At least the chin is pointy in a tasteful way.

10. Yet more nightmare fuel

Since when did upper lips look like a semicircle?

11. She’s the brainiest person in the world

Ever seen Mars Attacks, when that Martian disguises herself as a human?

12. The best abs are the ones that are crooked

He was in such a rush to get to the beach that he forgot to bring his toes.

13. At least he didn’t alter the one on the left

Weird photoshoppery aside, why did he pick a picture of his younger self in a graveyard?

14. When your butt looks like Mickey’s ears

The wink means that she’s in on the joke, right?

15. In thousands of years, historians will think that humans briefly evolved to look like plastic dolls

That’s if there still are humans. At this rate, we’ll Photoshop ourselves out of existence.

16. Why would anyone do this?

People are actually feeling ashamed of their knuckles now.

17. Yet more eyes

I wonder if the guy felt sad that she hadn’t “enhanced” his eyes?

18. He asked for hunky, he got wonky

He looks like a stress ball.

19. Why try to hide a pregnancy bump?

Because continuing the human race is apparently so shameful it must be hidden at all costs.

20. Imagine wanting your butt to be three times as large as your torso

Yes, large butts are in fashion. But so is having a functioning set of organs

All of these photos were taken, retouched and then posted. Not one of the posters looked at them and thought “Hmm, maybe this looks a little weird?” Instead, they used them to try and show off their beauty to the world. Yes, many, many people online are that deluded.
