What should the Instant Regret Kit design be?

How about the captcha thing asking you to “click all boxes with regret in them” and it’s just the Meh logo segmented into a 9x9 grid

Irk with a bandana and a No Regerts tattoo.

Half of Irks face smiling the other half crying

Irk clicking a box that says “I’m not a robot”

A random menagerie of meh’s user names. Change it up for every new IRK bag so even more people can be pissed off when they finally get a bag but it doesn’t have their name on it. (And of course a tiny little Irk image in the corner.)

Irk doing a facepalm.

The entire bag be Irk’s face, and perhaps the handles of the bag be Irk’s ears.

Super obnoxious, in your face, people staring at your bag at the grocery store. Something like this perhaps:

Imagine Irk standing in for Wile E. Coyote having just run off a cliff but not yet fallen and just suddenly realising…

…but Irk!

Irk sitting patiently atop a bag, reading a newspaper, pants around his ankles.

Instant Regret Kit, translated to Japanese symbols. It even has a meh face in it naturally.

インスタント
後悔
キット

Its hard to say “meh” more than a wordmark, so why not just a stacked

Instant
Regret
Kit

masked to look vaguely like Irk’s head?

Irk yelling at the spouse, with a speech bubble saying “you idiot, you bought another one?!” … oh wait, that’s just what happens at my house when one arrives

If you REALLY wanted regrets!

Grayed out undo button with a mouse pointer over it. Possibly with Irk smashing the mouse.

A guy, who’s clearly irked, standing in his front doorway, looking at a flaming ‘The Instant Regret Kit’ on his welcome mat. Irk is hiding in the bushes, laughing. Get it? It’s like a flaming bag of crap. Get it?

Irk sitting on toilet with head held in hands in despair.

Med kit with poison symbols (or radiation symbols) instead of red crosses and/or Caduceus

Or you know some old-timey design for instant coffee…

When I think of the word “instant” I think of instant oatmeal (and camping), so I’m thinking of the image of a halfway torn open packet marked with IRK with the contents being dumped into a large MEH mug. Maybe some steam coming up and maybe a spoon.

Keep it simple. A big question mark with Irk in the dot. Put a big hat on him.

I din’t draw Irk, just colored him and did the rest. I took themes from the Meh site.

Here is the art work

Its Irk sacrificing the other Meh mascots to make the bags. Soylent IRKs are mascots!

Sorry, I have no artistic merit and a broken arm, but picture this:

It’s a shot from inside a living room with the point of view angled at the entrance. A beautiful woman, with a packed rolling suitcase, is opening the door to leave in a state of angered haste. Closer to the camera is Irk, sitting with his legs stretched out and a sad, disappointed look on his face. Near him is a tattered open box, and a couple of random, low-quality items strewn about the floor. I mean like the worst of the worst that has ever appeared on this site, such as some 12-year-old speaker docks, low-quality Meh-branded wearables, broken glass, a smartwatch box with a “return” sticker on it, a small pile of expired candy, and of course, a puke-green TIRK bag. Maybe Irk is also holding something, like a broken headset with a dangling ear cup. In the background, you can see a dog urinating onto a curtain.

PS: posting this for a friend. It’s not like any of this is from personal experience or anything…

Keep it simple,

Have a picture of irk’s head (straight on facing) with small hands offering a box with a question mark on it or simply “IRK”. Could mix it up and have different symbols for different iterations such as different punctuations, numbers, or misc symbols on them. (Schrodingers cat comes to mind as a neat idea).

Could also play with the idea of placing the symbols on his forehead.

-Abeltrx

Or your ‘who’s buying this stuff’ map with the word SUCKERS! stamped across it (works on a couple of levels considering the political climate)

A warning label explaining this bag contains 5000 agitated wasps.

Irk holding his nose, holding a bag at arm’s length. It should also have stink lines, but I didn’t draw them.

Whichever idea wins, it should be printed upside-down.

Don’t put Irk ON the bag, put him on the INSIDE of the bag, staring up from the bottom of the bag.

If you somehow empty the bag (Yea, I know, the bag ships empty. Work with me here.) without experiencing pangs of regret or disappointment, being confronted by Irk should do the job.

An image of the green button after meh purchase that says “discuss my rad purchase”

Easy! Just have Irk pulling down the collar of his shirt revealing a “NO REGERTS” tattoo.

This, but better, and more face palming

Can we work Glen into this somehow? And maybe the baby arm as well?

So it’s Irk looking down toward his own sack, but he’s shocked to see the baby arm instead.

Irk with his arms raised like he’s scored a touchdown. There will always be a winner, either Irk or the purchaser.

Did you instantly regret naming it the Instantly Regret Kit? Because me thinks you should have…

Irk counting money and thinking “a sucker is born every minute.”

Irk with a face of horror after seeing his new “Meh.” neck tattoo for the first time.

Or maybe Irk half buried in a mountain of candy corn and speaker docks — which would also likely foreshadow at least part of the contents of the bag itself

well, this is what I was thinking. perspective from bottom of box looking up at some dude in agony opening up his box of crap. here’s kind of what I was thinking but needs more perspective and yea…more talent.

Irk with a bib on, fork/knife in hand, being attacked by an octopus he was trying to eat

Ok, one more then sleepy time. Irk taking a dump in the meh box. gnight ya’ll.

Picture of Irk walking slowly down the highway in the rain with the end music from the Incredible Hulk playing by way of a sound chip embedded in the bag.

Since it’s a kit for Instant Regret, Maybe box like an In Case of Fire box, but this would be a break in case of instant regret. Inside is Irk with tissues in one hand and chocolate in the other. And a baby arm attached with a chain to break the glass .

irk watching a truck drive away after leaving a pile of useless junk in his driveway. Candy corn, speaker docs, knives etc.

A Styrofoam cup like the cup noodles with the lid up and Instant Regret on the front of the up. Maybe even a little irk sitting on the edge holding the fork or chopsticks.

Oh, had another idea - the Meh face, but with a single tear dripping down its face, above a simple-fonted Instant Regret Kit. Irk’s face would work too, but personally, I think it’s better as a subtler pun rather than “Yeah, it spells out IRK! You know! This guy!”

How about Irk set up like the old Uncle Sam poster, Irk wants you! And in small letters, Meh whatever, or something like that.

“Hopes and dreams aren’t made of these” in some fancy font. Like comic sans.

Image of IRK just after he sent a drunk text (ideally misspelled) to his ex, possibly Fuko, saying how much he/she misses him/her/it.

Single Tear Irk

Irk sitting on a bag with the caption ‘This will probably bother you more than it should’.

Irk as Gollum.

Awesome entries, everyone!

I’m going to be looking through these and working with our illustrator over the next couple weeks. Like with the name, I suspect we’ll pick several winners and see about making a few different bag designs. Feel free to keep voting on your favorites.

It should have a big Irk face on the front and below his sexy mug, “The I.R.K.” in big letters, and put the Meh logo small in the lower left corner.

Irk looking frustrated, with a bunch of junk in front of him, trying to make sense of it all. Kind of like Al Bundy assembling a bike without the manual. Irk would be trying to use all of the items in the kit (new fuku) to make something fabulous, but it just wouldn’t work. Maybe some glue, or duct/scotch tape holding together some random loot items.

Picture your last Fuku (if you’ve gotten one). Now try and MacGyver the shit out of that.

A Wheel of Fish.
Underneath in a font reminiscent of Hanzi, reads “You so stupid.”

Irk at the alter in front of a priest with an open cardboard box with a veil on it

Simply, “Remember, there is no regret until you look inside the bag, and then it is too late. Just say no. “

I propose… a viking funeral.

Irk dejectedly staring at a boat, with a bag of some sort on it, burning… the flames fed by money.

On the site, it could be animated floating away and slowly sinking. Glen could shove it off.

A one dollar bill with a five dollar price tag.

A cardboard box that has been fancied up to look like pandora’s box. It has been opened, but rather than smoke it’s just a bunch of dust to signify how old and crappy the contents are. The dust is surrounding IRK and meh.com.

The meh face, but it looks suspiciously like a troll’s butt turned sideways with googly eyes glued to one cheek

Irk holding a dirty bag of coins at a shipyard standing in line to buy “regret” from a dilapidated cargo ship that has “regret” painted on it.

Simple Meh script logo and Poop Emoji below it.

Meh

Something like this?

The new name is great.

IRK IRK IRK IRK IRK!

Kiss it. Just a big elegant meh logo, with much smaller “Instant Regret Kit” text beneath it. I think a new pin-back badge and an unintelligible assembly directions sheet for each outing would not be bad, but why gild the lily.

Have IRK written in pieces (broken and sketchy) and say something like IRK your 1/2 ass steal (picture of 1/2 a donkey looking tired and exhausted) is now pumped (picture of a ripped, muscled-up donkey) to be a complete dumb ass steal when you get two for Tuesday.

From (tlmg@twc.com)

How about some blatant copyright infringement of the Amazon smile logo? Just turn the smile into a disappointing frown. Once the Amazon lawyers contact you, you should also have instant regret. It’s doubly regrettable.

An image of a keyboard with the ctrl button and z button missing.

How about a scattered assortment of the Meh Smileys

Irk saying “You may want to lower your expectations before looking inside. Now go even lower.”

Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden handing Ed Norton a gift bag and saying “Get ready to hit rock bottom.”

Irk standing in kitchen, making breakfast, with my robe on.

A burning dollar bill

So, I was thinking, maybe to let people know in advance how much they will regret it, that you tie together a biohazard sign, Mr Yuk, and Irk, something like this except maybe toy with the colors a bit to make it a 1 or 2 color print:

A pig with lipstick, polishing a turd.

Like this but with Irk faces and as a bag.

National Lampoons Vacation movie poster, but with Irk in place of Chevy chase. Maybe scatter some infamous fuko items around, or pile them up for Irk to stand on.

/image national Lampoons Vacation

I was thinking something along these lines

A $5 bill with wings

It should just say
I nstant
R egret
K it

down the front side

on the inside at the bottom should be Irk’s face with a speech bubble saying “You thought you were getting something good?”

I’m as good at art as I am getting fuko’s!

A few more, even tho im not sure im allowed…

1. a) INSTANT REGRET KIT (in list format)
   Request/Receive/Regret
   b) In “live love laugh” graphic style: Request/Receive/Regret.
   (tbh contemplated risk instead of request)
   THEN meh logo below
   BONUS: glow in dark text with irk face: “you were warned.”

2. standard counselling mood faces chart, all irk faces with different emotions, middle one is regret/ragrets circled in red. or make irk expression the same for all the emotions if you want! + instant regret kit label and meh logo below

3. mad ape den version:
   top of graphic says “instant regret kit”
   pic of irk with mic
   speech bubble from irk’s mouth says, “you got now sad bag”
   meh.com logo below pic

A first aid kit with irk’s face filled with razor blades, little cacti, and a fuko bag.

Bag labeled “Instant Regret Kit” and underneath “just add water”

new idea:
1.graphic of a instant scratch lotto card - card is labelled "win a meh-llion! scratch and match to win’ The scratch card “foil” is mostly scratched off and reveals little graphics of candy corn, a knife, a martian watch texting “meh”, Irk, Glenn, a goat, a poop emoji, a vip member badge, etc. There are no matches.

On the lower part of the scratch card graphic is a prize box that has been scratched. It says, "Sorry, you lose! Please buy again! meh.com (logo).

vegas style sign says “welcome to [script font) instant [big letter all caps] regret [little letters on bottom row] meh.com” or “welcome to meh.com mediocre labs”. Irk’s face can be in the center of the starburst at the top of the sign.

beneath the vegas sign, it can say
“what happens at meh never stays at meh” or “what happens at meh ships to you from meh” or “what we cant sell at meh ships to you from meh”

A night with Glen

Irk, half-puddled on the ground. Baby arm lying nearby, fallen out of Irk. Glenn looking on from a short distance with a sad, stunned, disappointed look on his face.

You had the $5 and you just had to have the pudding.
Irk kisses the sky

Whatever the case, a facepalm must be involved.

Irk building his own wall around meh hq…not to keep people out but to keep meh staff in

A half-crushed box with Irk’s smiling face on top and Irk throwing the box on two sides.

What about a timer with digital readout of 00:00:00.01 AM to show the time you must have placed your order to have gotten it? (I may be a little bitter since I have tried and failed many times to order one)

Irk sitting at a computer with his head down in shame, issuing a /buy command on the forum, and getting a ridiculous (possibly changing) order number from mediocrebot

IRK

or

:

Irk’s face on a stylized package of instant ramen.

![where Irk gets meh nightly deals from][1]

Irk gets nightly deals and gives customers curb service —well He gets the items from the cans people put out by their curbs at their homes.
Thus Irk standing with a garbage can maybe label the can instead of meh nightly deal to Instant regrets
[1]:

A box reminiscent of a first aid kit but leaking something.

Irk looking very embarrassed with his head down and not making eye contact, a wad of cash in his outstretched left hand passing to an unseen figure out of frame and a suspicious looking package being passed back to him.

The same design as a Fuko bag, but with IRK on the side, and the bottom is slit down the middle, so when you pull the bag out of the box it ships in everything immediately falls out of it.

A box that very clearly does not contain a boat.

Irk squatting over a box, because it’s all IRK crap.

42. Simple yet infinitely profound.

This comes from a psychological test called the T.A.T. (But now with I.R.K).

A meh face based on Irk, but with the outer boundary spelling out “What did I just order?”

Irk on one side, a turd on the other.

IRK behind bars, in jail.

irk crying, kinda like this

Irk getting a tattoo of Glenn on his butt… or arm…

Irk on his hands and knees, tears running down his face, one fist pointing to the sky with a talk bubble saying WHY??? And a bag with the same picture in front of him.

Capt Picard face palming with Meh logo

the classic tongue on a frozen pole image (perhaps a Meh pole)

a horse’s backside

Meh lost doodads

A rear view of Irk sitting on a log playing a banjo and looking up at a meh logo.

In big letters METH with the T scribbled out.

Big IRK lettering with a tiny Irk peeking around the I.

A return shipping label. With no return address.

I would say Irk dropping his ice cream

“Insta-Regret, when it needs to be fast, but not very good.”

Wasn’t this a slogan somewhere?

Irk getting inked with varying bad tattoos: Misspellings, tats in unadvisable locations (i.e. the ol’ lightening bolt on the man member), detailed face of Cher…make the tat design. For example, this week it could be a Lebron tat in a Cavs uni.

Irk marrying my soon to be ex-wife? That’s some long-term big time regret there.

On one side of the bag is printed the Meh logo and in the bottom corner Irk is doing his Irk thing, normal and happy like.

On the other side is printed with stacked words “Instant Regret Kit”, the capitalized letters distinguished in some way, and in the corner Irk is straight up lying on the floor, perhaps in a pool of his own tears, perhaps dead.

Irk tearing up a pile of cash and throwing it into the air. Indicating a complete waste of money.

irk greedily taking money from a hand .

I like the “Meh"shershmit”

A person holding a burning $5 bill in one hand, a lighter in the other, and a look of regret or mourning on their face.

Keep it simple with Irk’s image in the middle with “Meh” on top and “Irk” below (or vice versa on the words).

Someone NOT pressing the buy it button.

IRK standing facing straight while pointing and laughing at us.

IRK looking into his bag, empty wallet in his hand, a small tear forming in one eye, doing his best impression of a homer simpson DOH!

Pick several images of famous events of instant regret. Can be updated. Most recent: pic of Arkansas players missing routine foul ball to win 2018 college world series

(-_-)

IRK stabbing a goat along with the username/email of the current scapegoat so we can immediately complain.

Second entry:
Just litter the whole thing in Captcha

IRK staring, clearly disheveled and hungover, at the TV on November 9th, 2016.

The face of Irk with a Mike Tyson face tattoo, framed by a toilet seat, from inside the toilet.

A stylized Michelobe Ultra Gold bottle.
Or a Packard Bell Computer case.

one side of the bag says “Christmas presents” with Irk wearing a santa hat, on the other side it says “Trash”, and has a picture of Irk dropping a bag in a trash can…

Whatever the design, make sure the bag/container comes pre-worn-out with a hole in it.

Greek columns in the background that spell out IRK.
Irk is in the foreground center, wearing philosopher’s robes looking sad but thoughtful. Below him in dictionary font is written:
regret \ ri-ˈgret \ - sorrow aroused by circumstances beyond one’s control or power to repair.

Regret of not getting is as bad if not worse than regret of getting sometimes. So bag needs to have a captcha screen asking to click on the “store fronts” but only have IRK faces, candy corn, speaker dock, knives, etc showing with no “store front” pictures to click on to prove you are not a robot. This because MEH insists we are robots and it is hard to prove otherwise when trying to purchase. Most seem to have regret whether they are able to buy or not be able to buy!

Glenn and Irk having a conversation:
Glenn: Only 2 things in life are certain…
Irk: Sadness and Regret?
Glenn: I was going to say Death and Taxes, but now I regret even bringing it up.

Irk paying respects to a gravestone that has a (five? I forget how much exactly they are sometimes)-dollar bill inscribed onto it.

Because that money is dead and gone, and shall be missed over what will come.

Just the text in all caps to indicate shouting “I REGRET NOTHING!”

Irk standing and looking back over his shoulder slightly wide eyed and drawn so it looks like he is urinating…in front of an electric fence. Show his pants being blown off

Two panels. First panel: Meh staffers jubilantly deciding to have a contest to rename fuko. Second panel: Meh staffers endlessly reading suggestions for rebranding.

Quirky Irk…Like pretending to be a mime.

An egret…

How about an image of Irk twerking. It shows the excitement that meh sold their extras, and we can all be disappointed at seeing a troll twerk

just a giant ‘:/’ face, it perfectly simulates both the feeling of missing the box and getting it only to find junk

/image rhea skeleton

Get IRK’d
Meh.com

What about Irk opening a box of chocolates, but it’s things like fidget spinners and candy corn and chocolate all mixed up?

The bags should all have depictions (or descriptions) of first world problems on the outside, like not having enough room in your sports car to haul groceries, getting a sliver, or the WiFi going down. In comparison to all of these annoyances, the IRK would look like a blessing in comparison.

Create a new sticker to slap on boxes as they ship: Have a picture of Irk, lounging on a bed, one arm thrown across the empty pillow, the other holding a cigarette.

Very “Instant Regret”…

barney on top of a mountain of baby arms

The bag should have a picture of Ohio on it and a sign on it saying “Welcome to Cincinnati”

Alternative suggestion:

Irk handing over a deed with the word “meh” on it to someone wearing an “Anazom” shirt. (Word deliberately misspelled)

Irk staring at a giant turd with his hands in the air: the ex VMP membership turd to be exact, in disbelief that he let it expire.

Irk holding his shoes walking away from a one-night-stand as the sun comes up behind him.

F5 Button with caption below “This IRKs me” or “SOLD OUT”.

A 2-D box (square or rectangle) made of outline-drawn junk (banana peel, broken TV, 3 legged chair, toaster with a spring sticking out, meh face, baby arm, etc.) maybe with simple color fill in each. Inside, the words Instant Regret Kit, each on its own line, aligned on the left. Probably don’t want a font with too many curves, but perhaps one with decayed text? As on option, somewhere to the right of the words, either in or out of the box, Irk doing a facepalm like in the You Were Wrong video. Meh.com on the top or bottom – I think it could work either way.

IRK running away from a burning box of crap, with the caption

“Something went terribly wrong”

In Japanese, “This dingaling was really convinced they were going to get a flatscreen TV for $5”.

Rainbows and Unicorns. Glitter and a fairy princess.
Underneath, a pink kitten saying, “Just when you thought your day couldn’t get any better!”

Glen as a full snake, coiled and holding a bag in front of him with his tail (like the snake in the picture, but with a bag, not an apple). Irk has been stuffed into the bag- you can tell because some part(s) of him are sticking out. The baby arm lies behind him, maybe gripping a knife.

Irk wearing an IRK bag over his head, featuring the logo of Irk wearing an IRK bag over his head in infinite recursion.

Honestly, you all use creepy baby doll parts enough… why not just photoshop a zipper on the back of a baby doll?

A trojan horse.

I feel like the design and name were already chosen.
Design image metadata will say created in 2017 or something.

![enter image description here][1]

Thank You!
(Meh IRK face)
Very much Regret again Son.
[1]:

A bag covered in tears. Printed tears fine as well!

What about if it was Irk in the middle of the bag half melted into a mass of candy corn that covers the bottom half of the bag. Along with a thought bubble coming from Irk that says “IRK”. Or even “IRK?!” Better yet it says “Here’s your IRK!”

Obviously, the bag should bother more than it should, so it should be purple, but an annoying shade of purple. It will definitely necessitate Irk’s handsome face.

What if it was shaped like Irk and had a secret stash pocket on the bottom, where his butt should be? Irk’s crap could be a real thing!

How about a picture of the $5 Buy It button?

A flaming pile of poop.

A picture of Irk with a smirk on his face and underneath it says “You’ve just been IRKed!”

Irk’s face done up with David Bowie makeup.

One or both of the straps on at least 10% of the bags should be broken

Ten thousand spoons, and all you need is a knife.

Irk getting face palmed with the baby arm.

The classic Crying Native American clip, but with Irk in the thrown pile of trash. Maybe even with a tiny Irk in the tear.
/giphy crying native american

Put Glen on the bag, for the irony that only Mehsters will get. It should be an Irk colored bag though.

Or to keep a theme going, random curse words in non-western scripts that will make the bags unusable in ethnic neighborhoods. Like Hebrew to make them completely unusable in New York, or Arabic to escalate already high tensions. Perhaps hieroglyphics, that would look cool and about 7 people in the world would be able to read it on the fly.

IRK with binoculars next to his mailbox and a MEH delivery truck pulling up labeled on the side with “You want this stuff, right?” or what ever the exact words are when you buy “What have you done?”

IRK holding a MEH bag like he is reaching out and handing it to someone labeled “Regret Kit”
and possibly under that in smaller letters either “Refurbished”, “Batteries Not Included” or “Assembly Required”

How about a black hole sucking up tons of random stuff like knives, speaker docks, candy corn, Fidget Spinners, etc and both Irk and Glen both standing outside it with a smirk

I’m thinking a morning after regret kind of situation. We would need an image of a disgusted, regretful Irk laying in bed with the covers pulled up in shame and Glen laying next to him with his goofy lookin ass.

What’s the cutoff for this one?

someone may have already suggested this, how about the faces of comedy and tragedy, but with irks face…
