I love Lisa Valentine Clark ever since seeing her in the Chatbooks adverts. Very pretty as well may I also add! Keep them coming, young lady.

[ShellyHubbard]

So funny! Glad I'm not the only one who can relate to these situations! Sometimes you just have to laugh...

[memorylayne]

Okay, the line about Pinterest being invented by Martha Stewart and your MIL to make you feel guilty - it's so true! I admit I use it to save recipes, but when I look at these clothes/nails/hairdos/crafts that some friends post, it makes me want to sit there with a bowl of brownie batter too. I haven't had a craft fail - but this chicken/cabbage dinner that I tried to make one night was awful!

[crystalgwilliam]

Too funny! I LOVE Pinterest... this just made me laugh! Great job, guys! Definitely have my "no" pile on recipes and crafts..

[GraceTolman]

Another super episode. You guys are the funniest. Thank you for the laugh. I needed that today. :)

[noveylu]

I don't have a Pinterest fail, but you've inspired me! Tomorrow is our Pembroke Welsh Corgi Moneypenny's half birthday! I'll celebrate by inviting all the neighborhood dogs over for a Medieval Japanese Shogun Showdown. I'll make little bento boxes filled with homemade gluten-free dog biscuits cut out in the shapes of kanji, and each pooch will model his/her best kimono! Koi No Yokan!

[jenniferbrady]

Ha ha! The glowing bubbles thing totally backfired! My son ended up getting the glow stick juice in his eye, and screamed through the entire Memorial Day celebration we were attending. And no, we did not get a single glow-in-the-dark bubble out of the ordeal. And he still screams, months later, if anything gets near his eyes.

[nuancebird]

...Seriously. These are great videos :)

[emilyf]

So much fun! Just got into Pinterest, so no stories yet, but this was great!

[dorothyteel]

That is so funny cause, I look a some of the wonderful ideas on Pinterest and wonder who in the world has time to do all of that, I do like pinterest cause I do get some great ideas and I enjoy the Six Sisters. thank you for sharing was fun to watch

[Kymburleev]

Oh, this is the funniest one yet! By far! I totally want to send the link to my sister-in-law, but that might not be subtle enough . . .

Mostly I just pin stuff I think is cool so other people will repin it and I can feel cool by extension. Though one time I made the cinnamon crescent rolls. The butter and sugar flooded the cookie sheet and turned into a bubbly brown mess. The rolls were flat and floppy but the kids ate them happily.

I threw the cookie sheet away when no one was looking.

[stampit]

Yeah! Pinterest does make you feel like a failure sometimes! LOL. Thanks for making fun!

[heigrange]

Funny! And I thought I was the only one who got depressed looking at the amazing art on pinterest. ;)

[Neenashie]

Agreed. I comfort myself with the fact that no one is good at everything. For example, my sister-in-law who's a pintrest wizard with crafts and such, can't bake to save her life. I can cook, but making things look cute—I don't really even get the point so I always fail. That's life, right?

[LindaHen]

I do enjoy Pinterest but I'm by no means an expert on it. Thanks for the laugh.

[charrette]

What does it say about me that eating brownie batter and watching bad t.v. actually sounds kinda good right now?!?

My favorite Pinterest fail actually happened to my friend: For months she harvested and saved dryer lint, and rolled it with Vaseline to make her own special Firestarter Balls. When she lit the first one, it practically exploded. She ended up almost catching her hair on fire!

Now all her dryer lint goes straight in the trash.

[cindycbennett]

I tried the glow-in-the-dark bubbles for my son's wedding. Um, yeah, the only thing that glowed were my fingers from touching the stuff that I'm sure is toxic to humans. The bubbles only stank (have you ever smelled the stuff inside those glow sticks? It's a combination of death, rot, and decomposition).

[matthewhuff]

Pinterest fail: Zucchini Brownies. I knew it was too good to be true. Also, any mug cake/ brownie. Just.... no.

[GeneBlack]

Cake in a mug! UGH! the worst part was the then I had to wash the mug...I think I should have thrown it ALL away.

[pollysdoodles]

My Pinterest Fail was the first recipe pin I actually decided to try. It said, "Simply toss pasta with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder salt, and black pepper; Much healthier than any cream sauce". It was NOT good. And just last week I tried my second recipe, eggless chocolate chip cookie dough to eat. Ick. Great show, ya'all! Very creative and cute! I should Pin it!
