I’ve always had a soft spot for these funny knock-off attempts that almost get it right… but not quite.

Whether it’s a legally distinct superhero or a suspiciously familiar logo, these bargain-bin bootlegs are doing their best with what little IP-infringement wiggle room they’ve got.

So here’s a bunch of the funniest off-brand fails we found this week—because nothing says value like “Choco Krispys with Tony the Tyga.”
