Is humor subjective? Absolutely. You’re unlikely to have the exact same sense of humor as somebody else.
That said, humor is also universal . So even if your sense of humor doesn’t totally vibe with someone else’s, there are probably at least a few ways in which you can find comedic common ground.

“Every year my friends and I do a themed No Shave November picture.”
I always admire people who are committed to doing something like this, year after year. When I get together with my friends, I never remember to take even a candid pic.
“Where can I get myself these leggings, so I can roll myself out of bed and to work.”
This Amazon review went viral, and for good reason. Who wouldn’t want clothes that can stand up to getting stuck on rocks and trees?
“Salty.”
Salt Bae is known for throwing just the right amount of salt, a pinch really, onto the plate. Salt trucks are known for vomiting huge piles of salt all over the place. Still, the salt connection is still there.
“The circle is complete.”
My mom worked for the phone company, so we had a home phone with a fancy display way back in, like, 1997. At the time, I didn’t think that phone technology could possibly move much further.
“I did a shoot for a local casino, somehow made a face like I just smelled a fart, and they decided to use that shot for their ads.”
If you’re a stock model like this guy, you just kind of have to accept whatever photos they wind up using.
“My birthday cake this year.”
Life as a millennial adult is basically just remembering random references with your friends in between juggling various low-paying jobs, so I can see why this SpongeBob-themed cake would be a big hit.
“The Power of Chrysler compels you!”
Many religions aim to convert unbelievers to bring them into the flock. I never knew the precise mechanism for doing this, but here’s a rare look at the device Catholics use to bring people in.
“Dogs and animals alike!”
The first couple of weeks after changing the clocks never feel quite right thanks to your internal clock. If you’ve got pets, this feeling is only amplified by their internal clocks. Best practice advice: just fill their bowls.
“Our dog whose tongue always sticks out in a blanket with holes.”
This is a cute pic as a one-off, but if this dog makes a habit of doing this, I’d probably just cede the blanket to the dog and never use it myself.
“My son asked if he can make himself a hotdog for a snack after school. I said yes. I hear him and his sister laughing in the kitchen, and walk in to find this.”
Warming up Starburst and then using it as modeling clay is a time-honored tradition, one that I’m pleased to see is still going strong.
“I am 34 years old.”
Depending on your size and flexibility, this is a situation that could go from cute to requiring the jaws of life and a hefty hospital bill in no time flat.
Let’s hope she’s able to get out.
“I thought I had put socks on my son this morning. Turns out they were gloves. My mother in law sent me this.”
When you’re sleep-deprived and trying to get your kid ready for the day, it’s easy to go on autopilot.
“Went to get Starbucks this morning and saw that they had turkey on the menu.”
This turkey had better be careful. Last I checked, Starbucks had turkey bacon breakfast sandwiches on the menu, and that turkey has to come from somewhere.
“This is the best real life ad for sunglasses.”
Everyone’s been in a situation at one point where they really wish they’d brought a pair of sunglasses. This pic is such a great encapsulation of this feeling that yes, it truly should be an ad.
“Ah yes my favourite kind of clarinet.”
What is that word supposed to be? Glass? Brass? I’m having a hard time with this one. Maybe it was intended to be an ass clarinet all along, and maybe I should stop judging.
“My dog chases coyotes but won’t go pee in the rain unless I cover her with plastic bags.”
Domesticated dogs have a way of being fearless heroes one moment and craven cowards the next. Here’s a fine example of this duality.
“Duct tales.”
I appreciate the dad humor here, so long as it truly is dad humor. If this isn’t theoretical, but literal, it may have been posted by a serial killer. Dad or serial killer: could go either way, really.
“Got this letter from Zoe while deployed. She gets it.”
I’m guessing little Zoe has had her worldview shaped by someone who doesn’t really respect the army that much, but has endless respect for the Air Force. I wonder what she thinks of the Navy.
“When you have no idea what you’re doing but you don’t let that stop you.”
This photo proves that just about anything can be a doorstop, even a doorstop that’s still in its original packaging. This is thinking outside the box while staying inside the box.
Look at the cow go!
Let’s close things out with a special treat: not a static image, but one of those fancy moving videos! After watching this, search YouTube for ‘happy cow’. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.
