Maybe We’ll Go To A Restaurant This Year (22 Thanksgiving Fails)

Thanksgiving is probably the most high-pressure meal of the year, what with family tensions, specialty dishes, and a whole lot drinking going on. That means there are many opportunities for Thanksgiving fails. A Thanksgiving fail feels terrible in the moment, when you realize dinner is ruined, but one day you’ll look back on the time the turkey caught on fire then got dragged through the house by the dog and simply laugh.

Below are some of the funniest Thanksgiving fails documented by the unfortunate people who recently lived through every possible holiday disaster. They’re all funny, but they’re also all a warning: set a timer and check on the oven regularly.
