I’m sure you’ve noticed that the German language is full of great words. It’s an elegant system that allows to convey even complex concepts in one word. Take schadenfreude, for example. This expression describes the pleasure or satisfaction when someone else goes through a failure, suffering, or humiliation. Such a spark of delight might appear when a rival doesn’t get the promotion they expected or while watching fail compilation videos. Feeling this way occasionally doesn’t make people bad. However, the everything in moderation rule applies here heavily. 

For your schadenfreude fix, we have a list full of hilarious fails and more, courtesy of the ‘Faillgram’ Instagram account. Scroll down for some harmless fun and don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you feel bad for giggling.

While you're at it, make sure to check out a conversation with a professor of differential psychology and psychological diagnostics and co-author of Schadenfreude as Social-Functional Dominance Regulator, Jens Lange, who kindly agreed to talk with us more about the phenomenon of schadenfreude.
