The 9 Most Unintentionally Horrifying Clip Art Images You’ll See Today
QLP pays money to have access to a clip art database from which we can pull images to spruce up our daily blog posts.
I say “pays money” not because I love redundancy but because I want you to understand that real currency changed hands in order for me to have access to the clip art you are about to see.
There really is nothing else to say, so I will simply introduce the nine most unintentionally horrifying clip art images you’ll see today. And probably for the rest of your life.
1.)
Looking for a slow ride to hell, stranger?
2.)
3.)
Someone unsuccessfully tried to shove an elephant into Homer Simpson’s decapitated money-grubbing carcass.
4.)
Even taxidermists make mistakes.
5.)
Toddlers and Tiaras and Tibias
6.)
A rat drinking soap and holding a lobster… I can’t even do this anymore.
7.)
Why do clip artists hate anatomy and sexual assault laws?
8.)
Are you ready for your “in-flight entertainment,” sir?
9.)
Before & After. Category: Cryptozoology. Can I solve the puzzle? Spider Cat Lady. You’re welcome for the nightmares.
For obvious reasons, we don’t recommend using any of this clip art in your marketing or promotional efforts unless you have a taste for the exceptionally bizarre. Enough said!
Which one of these clip art images haunts you the most? Have you seen others that belong on this list? And are there any actual uses for these nightmare-inducing pictures?

Oh. my. God. I have no words Jana. These are horrifying and when I close my eyes, I still see them. Thanks for that 😉

1. Bad Acid trip.
2. Noooooooooooooooo! say it ain’t so I do not like this one bit! 🙁
3. Dr. Seuss gone horribly wrong.
4. Why?
5. This image could work if we are trying to display the outrageous childhood obesity problem we have in this country.
6. I totally dig this one, I am thinking tattoo! It’ll keep people guessing til’ the end.
7. Office Karma Sutra?
8. I think that this one is a abstract way of saying that we don’t appreciate our in-flight staff enough!
9. How did they get this illustration of me to look so good?
Jill Tooley
Haha, #6 was my favorite as well. The last one is probably the most disturbing out of all of them. I just can’t comprehend where any of these would ever be legitimately used…
JPorretto
I’m gonna go with spider cat lady. It combines two things that give me the heebee jeebees: Big spiders and Crazy Cat Ladies…
Jen
My only question…what is that terrible cow head supposed to be? I can’t even think of what that is or why it would be appealing for anyone to use as art.
Jill Tooley
Should I print it out and hang it in your cube now, or later?
Ness
I think #7 and #8 are my favorites. I really dig that awkward, creepy, sexy vibe that they both have.
Joseph Giorgi
Spider Cat Lady FTW!
This is quite a collection of disturbing images, Jana. I think a sequel post is in order somewhere down the line.
Jenna
I love this post so much. I could look at and wonder about awkward/horrible clipart all day. The rat drinking soap holding a lobster is my favorite! :]
Bret Bonnet
I had horrible dreams about these pieces of clipart this past weekend. I hate you! 🙂
Amanda
This post is so crazy cool. Jana–I love that you chose the word horrifying in this post’s title. These pictures are horrifying for sure. I can’t decide which one is the worst, or best. lol. Great post!

I think that I’m still partial to the hitchhiking snail from Hell. Just…what did someone thing that clipart would sell or promote? Snails that really need shells?
Jill Tooley
“Is your back deformity ruining your social life? Don’t you deserve to look your best at all times? Try the NEW Snail Cover Up by Shelltastic! It effectively hides all bizarre growths from ears to giant thumbs! What they don’t know won’t hurt them…well, not much.”
Mandy Kilinskis
Well, well! I’ve been proven wrong! If I ever meet a deformed snail, I’ll point them that way. 🙂
