Thanksgiving is kind of a weird holiday. It doesn’t revolve around candy like Halloween or Easter. And it doesn’t involve gift giving like Christmas or birthdays.

Instead, it focuses entirely on your skills in the kitchen. And if you don’t have any, it results in some pretty epic Thanksgiving fails.

Look, not everyone has been trained by Gordon Ramsay. Sometimes you’re going to burn a pie or mangle a turkey. But the people below took things to a level of chaos that we didn’t know existed. And we’ve witnessed five girls trying to get ready for the night with one outlet and half a mirror.

From unrecognizable piles of char to exploding mashed potatoes, these hilarious Thanksgiving fails will make you think twice before firing up your oven. Or, be thankful that your parents are taking the lead on this food-focused holiday for another year.

You can bring the paper napkins again. You’re doing great, sweetie.
