Humor isn’t something that just smashes you over the head with hilarity.
…Well, sometimes it is. Often it is, actually. But sometimes, it’s just a little bit more subtle .
RELATED STORIES
These pics are funny. You might not see it at first, but just give it a moment.
“My little sister and her friend with their homemade movie theaters.”
This seems like the kind of fun thing you’d try as a kid, and also feels kind of like a vision of our dystopian future, one where we all have viewing boxes strapped to our skulls.
“The State Department nailed my girlfriend’s passport.”
We all have a forehead, but she has a fivehead — at least in her passport photo. I guess whoever was printing this out just smeared the whole image and didn’t catch their mistake.
“My wife found this on one of her tables today at work.”
I think this is fair. The customer is willing to leave a pretty good tip, but they’re not good with math. If the server can math this out, they’ll be the recipient of the tip.
“Special needs teachers put this up today.”
I’m not going to react to this with a ‘bruh.’ I think it’s pretty nice, actually. The teacher is acknowledging people’s differences and expressing love for their students while spitting some sweet rhymes.
“The only baby picture I have… why?”
I think it’s a law that parents have to have at least one embarrassing childhood photo of each of their kids displayed prominently in their home. Here’s an excellent example of this phenomenon in action.
“Take the damn picture. I don’t got all day.”
Some people just don’t like to have their pic taken, and really don’t like it when they have to pose for a professional photographer. Me and this guy are on the same page.
“For potty training the players…”
I know that ‘assistant’ is kind of a long word and might need to be abbreviated at times, but surely there’s a better way to do it than this. That’s one shirt I wouldn’t want to wear.
“The real issues.”
This guy gets it. How do you handle this in the workplace? Politely tell your coworkers to leave you out of the email chain? Just ignore it as dozens and dozens of random messages flood your inbox? It’s awkward.
“My partner got me a cookie for my birthday.”
Props to the baker/artist who made this picture-perfect cookie. It would almost be a shame to eat it — not just because it looks so good, but also because no one wants to eat their own face.
“Lil dude had to get shaved for surgery.”
When cats have to be shaved for surgery, hilarity is often the result. Just look at how spindly and dumb their little legs look when they’re not covered with fur. It’s a wonder they can even walk on them.
“I wonder what’s going through the customer’s mind.”
Just because it’s a letter slot, and just because the package is thin, doesn’t mean you can just jam it in like this. I guess once it’s been ‘delivered,’ it’s no longer the letter carrier’s problem.
“My mate wasn’t going to his graduation due to his parent being away. So we took a budget graduation photo and stepped in as mum and dad.”
They tell us that friends are the family we choose, and this picture is living proof.
“Last month, a barge broke loose from an anchor during a storm in Vancouver. Today, Vancouver Park Board put up a new sign.”
Vancouver is famous for having Dude Chilling Park, so Barge Chilling Beach is just a natural extension of the concept.
“Had my leg amputated and my brother shows up to the hospital dressed as a pirate.”
This is what a good brother does: rather than expressing concern for his sibling’s plight, he shows up to mercilessly troll the situation. Well done, bro.
“Now we are asking the real questions.”
I especially like the teacher’s apologetic ‘sorry’ annotation here. Maybe it isn’t a good idea to just assume everyone’s grandparents are alive. They’re old, you know — not 500 years old, but old all the same.
“That about sums up the halftime show.”
Behind the scenes at a live event, someone is furiously typing away to provide the closed captions. Sometimes they’ll miss stuff, and sometimes they’ll have to sum up, in broad terms, what’s going on.
“Here’s our annual ‘parenting disaster’ Christmas card – 8 years and counting…”
When they started this tradition, they probably didn’t realize that a global disaster in 2020 would ensure that they wouldn’t really need to do anything for that year’s Christmas card.
“A chicken broke into my house and started laying eggs in my dishwasher.”
It’s like the old riddle goes: why did the chicken break into my house? To lay eggs in the dishwasher, of course.
That’s how it goes, right? I’m just about certain, but could be wrong.
“Ryan Reynolds sent me a Christmas card.”
I don’t know what this person did to get blessed with a Christmas card from Ryan Reynolds. I’m just glad we all get to live vicariously and pretend that we got a Christmas card from Ryan Reynolds.
“Just bought a standing desk. I’m 6’4″. GF is….not.”
This goes beyond her looking just a bit too small for her surroundings and crosses the line into looking cartoonish. I mean, this could almost be a reboot of Big , just with this woman instead of Tom Hanks.
