Most pictures you see on the internet are pretty straightforward. The important information that helps you understand exactly what might be taking place is there. But with no explanation, these pictures will have you questioning “what is actually going on here”. Some of these will leave you confused, but they will definitely give you a good laugh. Check out these 40 images that make you go “What?” and really need to be explained and see how many you can actually figure out.
Friends
There is that saying, “you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend's nose”. For this tortoise and horse, those rules do not apply.
Possibly this tortoise is just helping with the yearly inspection or tending to the nose hair removal. Or perhaps they just have a very special and close bond? A form of nature or a planned photo, who “nose”?
Humor
It is understandable how this guy could be shocked at the title of this book. This book is most likely not what you think, but we do have somewhat of an explanation for you.
This book is written by the American comedian Baratunde Thurston. Baratunde described the book as “another side of the black experience”. He believes that if you don’t have a sense of humor, this book will upset you. Looks like the guy on the left has no sense of humor...
Bananas
“Johnny bought 115 bananas at the supermarket; how long did it take for the cashier to count them all?” The guy who bought all these bananas is just like those examples used in math problems.
Why do you think someone needed to buy so many bananas? He is probably “bananas”. Nevertheless, the look on the cashier’s face is priceless. The moment of realization that he now has to count all these bananas...
Wet
This is just pointing out the obvious. We get it, the pool is wet. It's a bit strange that someone would even put a “wet floor” sign on a kickboard, in a pool…
There are two possible scenarios here, either placed there by some bored janitor trying to be amusing. Or maybe the kids thought it would be funny to do that and see how the janitor will get the sign back.
Photobombing
Now, this is photobombing done right. This happy little dog has really taken the spotlight at this protest. But we are still left so confused as to how this even happened or what protest it could be.
But does it even matter though? The dog looks really happy and is just having a really good time. And on top of that, he has even put a smile on some of the faces of the protestors.
Pizza Powers
It seems superpowers are not just for saving the world and battling evil anymore, they can apparently now be used to summon your food too. Perhaps Marvel should look into this, cause this guy could be onto something.
With the forceful power of telepathy, you will never have dirty fingers while eating again. Do you want to have this “superpower”? Just ask a friend to drop a slice and snap the picture quickly, don’t forget to crop the picture.
Canadians
We’ve got so many questions, as do you probably. What is actually going on here? How did this happen and why is a 12-year-old posing in front of a crashed police car?
Well turns out this photo was taken at a hockey riot in Montreal, Canada. If you are a real hockey fan, you have to take a photo of your kid in front of an overturned police car. Just look at that smile.
Peekaboo
Peekaboo, the Pope sees you. We can all agree that this is actually a little bit creepy. But with some explanation, maybe it isn’t as creepy as it may look and is actually hilarious.
So this looks like Pope Francis came by to see someone who was in a hospital. But actually, it was a guy pulling a prank on his younger brother. This is just well-printed cardboard cut out of the Pope.
Dark Knight
Batman’s family dinner is very empty…Oh, he has no family. Dark humor for the Dark Knight. So why is this guy dressed like Batman sitting alone at a restaurant? No one really knows.
Probably was done during a lunch break of some photoshoot. This picture even became quite a popular meme and many people have added their own jokes to it. Go ahead, give it a try, add your own joke to it too.
Booze
What is going on here? There are so many things that could go wrong with this situation. Boys and booze are one thing on their own, but the dog with glowing laser eyes and a Samurai sword in his mouth is something else.
This image is definitely one that could do with more explanation. Our guess is that those guys are pretty drunk and the dog just wants to play fetch with someone.
Shocked
We all probably have the same question…how in the hell? Well, we have an idea how. Surprisingly it is not parallel parking gone wrong and she is not charging her electrical car either.
This was a bizarre freak accident caused by the women driving over the support cables for the electrical poles. Her car then twisted around the pole as the wire wrapped around the wheels. We wonder if she was shocked...that this happened.
Disneyland
When the book club falls over at the same time the school is having a trip to Disneyland you get this. This group managed to get a pretty cool photo though.
We are not quite sure why they chose to read the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” books, perhaps to give it a nerdy look. And it definitely took some skill to not flinch while reading and coming down a rollercoaster ride.
Sink Sponge
If you watched SpongeBob you know the fella failed his driving test countless times. So here he is joining a Driving Theory class….Obviously, this is not the case and is probably a prank of some sort.
Whatever SpongeBob SquarePants AKA your average sink sponge is doing there, it just looks odd. Also, he has 27 holes and this balloon has none. And where is Squidward!? And of course his best friend Patrick Star?!
Warm Summers
We certainly do need more of an explanation for this image. Is it that our summers are getting warmer, and people are turning to strange resources to cool down? Well, a commercial freezer seems a bit extreme.
Actually the longer you look at this picture the more it looks like it’s a mortuary freezer… But most likely this guy just lost a bet with his friends and had to act like a complete fool in a grocery store.
Bicycles
If your bicycle is at the bottom of this pile, then you’ve got a big problem. This image is part of the few that we actually have some explanation for. This was the aftermath of bicycle rentals being returned after a Cubs game.
The bike mountain was cleared the next morning but this keeps happening. So if you want to see this happening in real life just check when the next Cubs game is happening.
Beef Jerky
We have no idea why this guy is protesting about this but we definitely agree with him. Beef jerky is quite pricey, but it’s so good... Once you’ve finished that bag of beef jerky, you find yourself wanting more, and end up buying another one.
Beef is roughly 60% water, so once dried, most of the beef's weight is evaporated. This means more meat is needed to make beef jerky. And you don’t want any meat, you want the quality stuff and that means you have to pay.
Good Times
We are not really sure what these guys are up to, but this is probably a normal night out for them. And we could agree that the dog is definitely living his best life, being pushed around like a good boy.
It is difficult to even try to understand what exactly is happening in this weird picture. But whatever it is, it looks like everyone is having a really good time.
Chikens
So at first, this looks like an actual chicken and the kids are being abused. But if you take a closer look at the house, you’ll realize that the homeowners have a slight obsession with chickens. Well, maybe not that slight…
This makes more sense as to why the fake chicken is free and the kids are caged in. This is just a joke that the parents decided to make and post online.
Perfectly Normal
Wait, what? You might need to take a closer look at this one to figure out that there is no animal killing happening here. Everything is perfectly normal in the image. See it yet?
Once you see it, you will know that this is not a grumpy cat’s head on the ground. It is just a bit of an optical illusion created from the cement ground and a cement ledge, where the cat is sitting behind.
Corn
A businesswoman holding giant corn, while going up the escalator… Now, this you don’t see not just every day, but any day. It is such a strange sight, and we really need an explanation.
But we are just as confused as you might be and don’t have an explanation either. Maybe it is a decoration for a corn fair or a prototype for a pitch? With these crazy images, there is no way of knowing...
Rooster
There is so much going on in this bedroom. So let’s focus on the most visible, the rooster on the kid’s head. You can’t miss it...It’s safe to say that this rooster doesn’t understand personal space.
Apparently, roosters like sitting in higher areas to avoid danger. We are not sure what danger he felt though. But why is there a rooster in the bedroom in the first place? And why those dinosaur curtains?
Cyberpunk
This Ruth Bader Ginsburg looking lady actually looks like a character from the Cyberpunk 2077 video game. But who is this lady that is just rolling through the airport with federal agents on both sides?
No one really knows. This picture became a meme lately and by the looks of it, those wheels were photoshopped. If you zoom in on it you can even see the focus difference. Still makes it funny though.
Dumb
So just to be clear, we cannot “dumb” there? This funny translation mishap makes very little sense. Some suggested that the word “dumb” is misspelled and should be ‘dump’. Which isn’t far off, but not the correct translation anyway.
We have a feeling some people would want this sign for their offices. Actually, these signs can and maybe even should be put up everywhere. Just to remind people to be smart, nothing more.
Shaq Test
Think you are pregnant but not sure? Don’t stress, Shaq has you covered. This product just gets funnier the more you read. Ladies, you have yourselves a male-athlete branded pregnancy test, with 90% accuracy. And if that is not enough, you get 2 free Shaq stickers as well, wow!
This comical pregnancy test was produced by Jeff Wysaski, aka “Obvious Plant”. When this comedian is bored, he goes around LA and places fake products that he makes. Many of them made it on the internet and now are memes.
Polar
“Excuse me, ma’am, is this the stop for the North Pole?” We're pretty sure those two ladies would not be so calm if a polar bear had actually walked out of the bus. So, how was this possible?
Well, it is not photoshop. It is just two guys in a costume, which is quite cool because it looks so real. If you will be visiting Prague, you might just be lucky enough to bump into this polar bear.
Deer
Oh deer, what have we got here? These guys look so cute and comfortable But you will be surprised to know that it is not just a cute picture of deers having a snuggle party.
This is actually a rescue mission. These cute animals are tranquilized and are being transported by a volunteer away from forest fires. The pillows are placed perfectly to keep their little heads in a safe position.
Yearbook
Are you feeling a bit confused as to why there is a dog’s photo in the yearbook ? Well, it is the cutest reason ever! This school decided to add students' service dogs into the yearbook.
The dog became a part of the class that the owner attended for the whole year. Being the good boy that this dog is, he posed for the photo. And the end result is hilarious!
Wish
This situation looks like something the Addams Family would do when celebrating a birthday, a jumping castle in a graveyard... It may seem quite creepy and absurd, but the real reason why these jumping castles are there is actually really sad and touching.
The castles were put up for a child’s funeral. The child passed away from terminal illness shortly before his birthday. His last wish was to have a jumping castle party for his friends.
Toddler Adventures
This is basically the trailer for “Jurassic Park: Toddler Adventures”. And we are pretty sure there is an evil sibling somewhere there in the background who played a part in this toddler traumatic dinosaur trap.
Some might say this is child abuse others will say this is smart family budgeting. After all, these dinosaurs are a way cheaper alternative to babysitting. The best part is that the kid won’t wander off around the store.
Fast Food
If this cheetah could talk, he would probably use the excuse that he was just on his way to get some “fast food”. Maybe the officer would even let him off with a warning.
But we are not sure if this photo is even real. Considering that a cheetah probably wouldn’t stand so still next to a human, and the other way around, this picture is probably photoshopped. But it’s still a pretty funny one.
Tyler The Pineapple
This image is so baffling. But apparently if Tyler the Creator posts pictures, like this one, it does not have to necessarily have an explanation behind it. But there should be some meaning for this, right?
Well, we did not find an explanation, so this absurd situation is just that. Apparently, you can put pineapple chunks in urinals as a substitute for a freshener mat. Maybe Tyler was trying to teach people about that?
Cow
You know how the nursery rhyme goes, “Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle - the cow jumped over the moon.” Well, this one tried just that and it’s not even photoshopped.
The truth is that this cow is not really a cow. It’s a real-life-size blow-up cow that was installed at the entrance to a farm market. Some strong winds and bad attachment to the ground and this is the result.
Lobsters
Well, this is quite a shocking proposal announcement. But the couple probably didn’t see it that way. But why and how did they get this? Was there an explanation for their idea?
Well turns out they went lobster fishing and at the end of the fishing trip, the guy popped the question. If anyone is thinking of doing something like this, maybe consider something which is a little less creepy.
Barney
Barney's song goes “I love you, you love me, let's get together and…” have a couple of beers? This image really takes “A Day in the Park with Barney” to a whole other level.
We guess Barney is also allowed to have a rough day. With all that singing and dancing he probably just needed to cool off. Maybe he should consider taking the suit off next time, just so the kids don’t get traumatized.
GTA
This looks like a “Back to the Future” time travel arrival gone wrong. Just because where the driver has landed, it doesn’t seem like he even needs roads. So how did he get there?
The speeding car hit a solid road barrier and propelled into the upper level of a nearby office. Like something straight out of a GTA video game. Luckily the driver was okay, but his car, not so much.
Dad Joke
Are you ready for your Corona ‘jab’? Well, this one may have some different side effects, such as excitement, difficulty making decisions, and just being drunk. They say that this “jab” even works better than the others.
If you haven't noticed already, the Corona bottle is in a caulk gun, the typical “dad joke” way of dealing with the world. Perhaps in Russia, they will offer the Vodka option and in Sambuca in Italy?
Cow Island
Doesn’t this look familiar? This is the same way the raptors were fed in Jurassic Park. Well, this cow does look more uncomfortable than the one from Jurassic Park, but still seems pretty calm.
But luckily this cow is not food for dinosaurs or people. This is just how they use cranes to get cows onto boats and ship them to a nearby farm on an island. We hope the poor thing wasn’t too scared.
Poodle
So at first, it looks like the cop is stealing the poor poodle and the poodle is somewhat fighting back. But the story is a bit different and the cop is really a good guy here.
In the background, there is a car crash. The driver was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance and the poor poodle was left in the back seat. The cop is actually rescuing the dog and making sure it’ll reunite with the owner.
Selfie
This must be one of the most dangerous selfies ever taken. Think about the cabin pressure or how strong the wind would be blowing in his face while he’s going 530 miles per hour.
Now keeping that in mind, do you think this photo is real? Well, it isn’t. This pilot got a lot of backlash about how dangerous this selfie was and eventually came clean that they were actually photoshopped. Not really, but they look very cool anyways.
Elephant Crash
Ever had an elephant crash into your house? Neither did we and that is not what really happened here either. This elephant is really a hero if you ask us.
This picture was taken after a storm caused a palm tree to crash the roof of a house in a Thai village. With no heavy-duty equipment to clear the mess, a trained elephant from the village helped clear the trunk out of the house. And this is him just posing afterward!
