The Blue Whale Challenge spread all around the world this year, causing widespread distress with teenagers taking their lives over a game. A reported 150 suicides have been linked to this game.

2. Ejaz sahab

This Pakistani couple’s appearance on a game show was turned super sexual by Pakistanis this year. “Ejaz Sahab” was supposed to dunk as many balls as he could in the hole while trying to win a motorcycle on a game show.

3. Aasia Bibi poisoning her family to escape a forced marriage

21-year-old Aasia Bibi, who was forced to marry a 25-year-old named Amjad,  planned to escape the marriage and plotted to murder her husband by poisoning his milk.

This young bride ended up poisoning an entire family (and killing 15) in an attempt to escape a forced marriage.

4. Careem’s Rishta Auntie gimmick

So Careem launched a rishta auntie car ride this year and people could not handle it. Careem claimed to offer individuals the ‘halal’ way to find the right person – all by sitting through the ride with an actual rishta auntie bombarding you with uncomfortable questions – sounds fun!

5. Goras copying LITERALLY everything desi

From turning haldi doodh into turmeric latte’s, tikka’s into “chandelier hair clips”  to using gota kaam on shirts and designing kambal handbags – gora’s were definitely inspired by desi’s this year.

6. Pakistanis going cray after the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif

Nawaz Sharif was disqualified as the Prime Minister of the country this year and people all over the country lost their minds. From chanting “gone Nawaz gone” to dancing in the streets, Pakistani’s were ecstatic.

9. Smog in Lahore… AGAIN

Lahore was blanketed in a thick haze of pollutant smog yet again this year and people were very frustrated. They went on to blame India, the government, cars, animals, etc. Once again, the issue held no priority in the eyes of our leaders.

10. Uncle Majboor and Rabia
