Great moments in unintended consequences—when something that sounds like a great idea goes horribly wrong. Watch the whole series. Part One: We Knead Dough The Year: 2019 The Problem: Restaurants aren't signing up for DoorDash. The Solution: Prove its value by adding restaurants for free—without notification or permission.

Masameer County was supposed to be Saudi Arabia's big break in the comedy world. The online cartoon, similar in tone to South Park and Family Guy, had been growing in popularity as the kingdom was undergoing social reforms.

"Did you hear the one about the world's greatest watch thief? He stole all the time." But even that guy might be impressed by the sticky fingers of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC), a tiny corner of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that managed to pilfer nearly $75 million in taxpayer money last year to maintain, among other things, an official government repository of "dad jokes." It's funny—but not in a good way. The agency's website is the source of the cringey joke above, along with other forehead-slappers such as "Why don't you ever see elephants h...
