32 Hilariously Awful Rip-Offs Of Popular Brands That Missed The Mark

To help people in their quest of faking it until they make it.

You know, we’ve all been there—walking through a market or scrolling online, only to do a double-take at a brand that looks just a little off. It’s like seeing your favorite brand in a funhouse mirror. Our brains are so tuned to those iconic shapes and colors that even a slight variation can leave us giggling.

So, here’s the deal: some clever (or maybe just lazy) folks out there have decided that paying for a license is for suckers. Instead, they’ve created their own hilariously terrible rip-offs of popular brands. And honestly, we can’t decide if we’re more amused or appalled.

We’ve rounded up the absolute best (or worst, depending on how you look at it) examples of these shameless knockoffs from every corner of the internet. Get ready to laugh out loud and maybe even cringe a little.
