3. So simple, yet so complex for my small grouping of neurons.
He’s levitating, but he’s not. And I can see that, but every time I look back he’s flying again.
4. If Zooey Deschanel had brown eyes instead of blue.
Gorgeous either way — because it’s Zooey we’re talking about — but I might not even recognize her with brown eyes! Would you?
Any time anyone tells Jimmy Fallon any sort of joke like, “Hey, Jimmy. Knock, knock!” “Who’s there?” “Orange” “Orange who?” “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?”
Jimmy (every time):

Now there is absolutely no way I can unsee this.
8. How poetic. I am mainly impressed by this bird’s expulsion control.
Look at his use of shading and contouring. And it’s even sitting on a perch. I’m not even mad.
Aww. Thanks, Bey, I’m glad you liked that too!
But don’t waste all of those giggles just yet. There is just so much more to see, my sweet baby angels.
9. Nothing like a classic game of Whose Head is on Whose Body?!
I thought I figured this out, but totally started seeing it the other way. Then I just got more confused and cried.
10. They always said she had two left feet…
Except they failed to mention one of them was attached to an arm. Top shelf break-dancer though. She can balance for days.

Now that I see it properly, it makes sense, but my brain was trippin’ for a solid five seconds…which might have been too long.
15. I’m immediately reminded of the movie Beetlejuice.
Some teachers are just more strict than others. This is one class in which you do not want to submit a late assignment, amirite?

What is the worst that could happen? Answer: you’ll laugh too hard.

Do you think manufacturers do this on purpose? Maybe a disgruntled employee? A bottom-rung designer just trying to dish some shade?

26. All I can assume is that this wood chipper was originally panted red or left out in the rain to rust.
It’s all I can assume because the alternative is Fargo.

But “sister-in-law”? Somewhere, there is a man who really needs to explain his choice of mate and what drives his “type.”
31. This took me too long to figure out.
