If it looks like the flame is coming back towards you when trying to light the pilot then there is a backdraft which is dangerous since if the pilot does light and the backdraft continues carbon monoxide would get pushed in to your home. Could be a clogged vent or improper vent but I would call a gas technician or plumber since it could potentially be deadly if not addressed.

I hate this sub so much because 99% of the comments are just ignoring the clear issue any tech would see right away. DIY is for floors and drywall patching etc. NOT FOR HVAC AND ELECTRICAL FOR GODS SAKE

But but but YouTube tutorials and reddit comments are sufficient replacements for professional training and experience, no?
