mistakes happen to all of us from time
to time but when you’re living in an
undead world you really can’t afford to
make bad choices welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down the top 10 Walking Dead
fails either you come back with me or
you stay here and you die with your
friends those are your choices
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at some of the dumbest most
facepalm worthy decisions ever made by
characters on AMC’s The Walking Dead
though the showrunners have made their
fair share of poor judgment calls were
only interested in fails committed by
characters themselves and it goes
without saying but this this comes with
a major spoiler warning hey we can get
you a tea in one piece living piece the
living part is important number 10
keeping a barn full of zombies
[Music]
the new realities of life in this world
would be challenging and for the green
family in particular there were harsh
lessons to learn but it only takes one
encounter with a walker to teach you
that they’re too dangerous to risk
keeping around I saw the broadcast
before they stopped saw the irrational
fear the atrocities like the sure
Herschel’s decision to secretly keep
them in a barn was motivated by good
intentions and yes for all he knew a
cure was just over the horizon but none
of that matters he was risking actual
lives in the hopes of a miracle
thankfully Shane dealt with him before
catastrophe inevitably struck otherwise
this series might have ended much
earlier number 9
trusting the terminus signs terminus
well we were out on the run to the
Veterinary College we heard a message
about this on the radio hope might be
the only thing keeping people alive in
the world of The Walking Dead
but when embrace too wholeheartedly it
can also spell demise yes our various
groups approached terminus with caution
after their home at the prison was
destroyed in overrun but considering
what they had just survived if they had
an ounce of sense between them they all
would have avoided terminus like the
plague
they had literally just learned first
hand that humans were the biggest threat
to their safety in this new world and
yet they all opted to take hand-painted
signs at face value honestly had they
been eaten it kind of would have served
them right they raped and they killed
left over week’s number eight
Beth’s last stand I may be back after
committing a significant amount of their
time in season five to finding Beth our
survivors finally managed to find the
missing green sister and what does Beth
choose to do with her newfound freedom
why she stops her ex captor in the
shoulder delivering a decidedly
non-fatal wound which unsurprisingly
causes the gun wielding manipulative cop
dawn to promptly shoot Beth in the head
yes dawn forcing Noah to stay was a blow
to morale but had she left with the
group Beth could have figured out how to
liberate her friend as well with this
impulsive decision she threw away the
rescue and her life no hold your fire
number seven saving Gregory how Gabriel
has grown this priest was introduced as
a selfish coward who still somehow found
it in him to criticize Rick’s group over
the seasons however he has come into his
own learning to carry his weight in the
group and fight the good fight sadly it
seems as if Gabriel may only know how to
lead a life of extremes he’s gone from
sacrificing innocent lives to risking
his own for a man who has done nothing
but work against him and his group we
applauded father Gabriel’s selfless act
but deplore his stupidity and applying
it to the one character who was for sure
going to betray him
[Music]
number six every time someone goes after
negan solo for the sake of your
continued group survival stop loan
wolfing it considering how badly negan
schooled Rick’s group the first time
they underestimated him you’d think
they’d take some time to make a real
plan but nope it’s just one sad solo
performance after another
our first disappointment is Carl who
gets points for being a total badass but
whose life would have ended then in
there had negan not shown mercy then
you’ve got Rosita who despite a foolish
plan could have earned the title of hero
had she taken a moment to aim how about
Sasha who failed both in life and death
number 5 Glenn not killing Nicolas there
are a lot of characters that we’ve
wanted to throttle but Nicolas is among
the worst offenders at least most of the
villains of the series are interesting
nicolas is just one big unpleasant
walking inconvenience
[Music]
come on he first proves himself to be a
liability and a dangerous coward before
evolving into a murderous traitor
after Nicholas’s attempt to kill him in
cold blood Glen should have ended him
and he almost does before pity gets the
best of him though Nicholas quit his had
taken his sick ways there was no curing
him of the cowardly streak and it nearly
killed Glenn again Thank You number for
pulling the Walker from the well I
[Music]
wouldn’t drink that if I were you listen
we’re not gonna pretend to be water
purification experts but a quick visual
and olfactory assessment of a water
source is always recommended before
consuming from it
if the water is hazy or has an off odor
probably best to steer clear if it’s got
a freaking bloated reanimated corpse
living in it you definitely should not
drink from it it’s a good plan it’s a
stupid plan that thing hasn’t
contaminated the water yet blowing its
brains and finish the job even had the
corpse come out of the well in one piece
the degree to which the water had been
contaminated is impossible to evaluate
Glen should be offended that the group
was willing to risk his life on such an
ill-conceived plan abandoning this well
was the only choice from the start
number three dealing with the scavengers
twice hey Rick can you remind us of the
stated philosophy of the scavengers
according to their leader oh right
maximum self-interest so why would you
trust this group of scavengers with the
safety and future of your settlement I
want all the guns you managed this great
ball to the surprise of no one but Rick
they take the guns from him and then
doubled it by talking to negan to get
twice the payout by betraying Alexandria
thankfully Rick always learns from his
mistakes nope he decides to go negotiate
with them again and sure enough he gets
imprisoned nearly executed and after
striking a deal abandoned
number two fighting over the dynamite
and throwing it at the truck we’re not
doing this in a world where all but the
most rudimentary forms some industrial
production have come to a grinding and
indefinite halt you really can’t afford
to be wasteful but of all the things you
see as precious guns are by far the most
valuable rare and important so when Rick
and Daryl managed to get their hands on
a shipment of weapons intended for the
sanctuary you’d think they’d load up on
them rather than arguing and get into a
fistfight but the real winning decision
comes when Rick lops the dynamite at the
overturned smoking wreck of a car and
blows everything up
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions you’re still here
anything I can do number one not
shooting negan when they had the chance
y’all can live if you surrender of all
the boneheaded decisions that have been
made by Rick and his group this is the
one that haunts viewers negan is the
problem so kill negan when he steps out
onto the balcony and you’ve got an
entire army of gunmen ready to fire open
fire don’t ask for surrender don’t
slowly start counting down from 10 10
Hey
Samer
sure Rick cut off the countdown early if
he told his troops to open fire when he
gave the word negan would have been dead
but then again when it comes to negan no
one seems capable of thinking clearly
Daryl we’re looking at you too pal do
