Photos So Weird We Couldn’t Explain Them If We Tried
Most images we find while scrolling through social media are boring and predictable. The kind of pictures we see on a daily basis are nothing out of the ordinary, but occasionally you’ll stumble across something that’ll make you look twice. The internet is a never-ending source of content, and some of it is truly not of this world. If you know where to look you just might find a trove of some pretty bizarre stuff! These photos are totally inexplicable, but rest assured they are all totally real.
No need to search for these images yourself, we’ve gathered the weirdest for you to enjoy. Try and make sense of some of these crazy photos!
66. The First Horse-Human Hybrid
The photo on the left might not be the weirdest thing we’ve ever seen. Maybe this woman simply lives on a ranch and wanted to incorporate her favorite horse into her maternity photos. That would be an innocent enough idea, right? But the photo on the left has something a little bit different, which seems to imply something a lot creepier.
It looks like this woman and this horse have created the first human-horse hybrid! Now it’s walking around in our world, unsure of how it will fit in with the rest of society. Just look at the bewildered look on its tiny face! In all seriousness, this probably human baby was probably super disoriented after its parents stuck that mask over its head.
65. A Onesie Is The Comfiest Look
When fall is upon us and as the weather begins to turn cooler you may begin to swap out your summer threads for warmer clothing. It looks like that’s exactly what this adorable little gecko has done, he appears to be wearing a very snuggly white onesie that he doesn’t want to get out of any time soon!
Most reptiles want to discard their old skin as soon as it starts to come off, but not this little guy. He’s enjoying the warmth as well as the fashion statement that comes with sporting your own (second) skin! This fella is a trendsetter who knows what he’s doing, even if his look might creep a few people out.
64. Someone Let Him Out!
If you know anything about raccoons it’s that they love to get into human food. They’ll rifle through trash bags and garbage bins in the hopes of finding a tasty snack. However, this little guy might’ve taken things a bit too far when he crawled into a vending machine! He’s got to be a pretty ambitious animal to go that far for a Snicker’s bar.
Whoever works here needs to do a better job of keeping the door closed. Now someone’s going to have to open the door to let this raccoon out, he doesn’t seem able to go back the way he came in. Hopefully, he didn’t get into any of the candy bars!
63. A Chair for Someone You Hate
We wouldn’t want our worst enemy to have a seat on this chair! We have no idea why anyone would go to all the trouble to make a seat this terrifying. Was it meant as a practical joke or a very obscure and abstract art project? Should we expect to see this in the Museum of Modern Art anytime soon?
This chair looks like the kind of thing the villain from SAW would come up with. It must’ve taken many painstaking hours to put something like this together, and we’re guessing it’s far from a pleasant task. Whoever did it must have had a very good reason, we just can’t figure out what it was…
62. He Loves Her More Than Gauc
The engagement ring is a staple in any marriage proposal. People might want to move on from the old traditions, but it’s safe to say that this one is going to stick around for a while. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t add a fun twist when asking your loved one to marry you. One thing we know for sure, this couple is from California!
After she says yes he can scoop out the insides and spread it on some toast. Although he might want to make sure the ring was clean first. Hopefully, it doesn’t smell too much like avocado, though we suppose anyone who’d enjoy a proposal like this wouldn’t mind!
61. Oh My, Hang In There Guys!
Talk about accessories that are wild and out there! Lady, we don’t know if you’ve noticed but we think your pets are trying to run away from home. Or maybe they’re just hanging in there for a fun day out. Either way, this is a very bold look that could be potentially dangerous for your reptilian friends. We hope they managed to hold on tight until they got home!
It would be a real shame to lose one of this pair of earrings while you’re out and about, and an even bigger shame for the lizards! The experience looks uncomfortable but sometimes we have to suffer for style. We just hope these two are plastic and not real animals.
60. He Needs it to Breathe on Land
Some people yearn to be at the ocean’s shore, they simply can’t stand to be out of the water for a minute. Perhaps this man is part fish and needs this helmet in order to survive on land, think of it as a reverse Sandy Cheeks situation. Looks like he brought a couple of fishy friends along to keep him company.
This device could also be a cheap alternative to snorkeling. Don’t have the funds for a deep-sea diving trip? Just slap on this helmet for a (somewhat) realistic simulation! You won’t see anywhere near the same amount or variety of fish, but you’ll be saving a few hundred bucks.
59. When the Extra Large Popcorn Isn’t Big Enough
Who doesn’t like to get snacks at the concession stand before watching a movie? Everyone has their snack preferences, and luckily movie theaters provide a variety of options in many different sizes. But it would appear that this girl was not satisfied with the Big Gulp and extra-large bucket of popcorn, so she had to improvise in order to get the quantity she wanted.
Maybe she’s having a whole crew of friends join her for the movie, and wanted to make sure she had enough for everyone. Or maybe she’s planning on a 12 hour day at the movies, where she rewatches the same film over and over again. We just hope she paces herself or she might throw up!
58. What Kind Of Angel Is This?
When we think of angels the images that come to mind are of those chubby cherubic babies or robed flying beings. But this version of an angelic being is certainly unexpected. Maybe this isn’t a heavenly being at all, maybe it’s just your standard flying bear. Or maybe it’s the black sheep of the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz?
As much as we’d like to believe in any or all of these magical options, it would seem that this bear is on the receiving end of a photobomb by a mischievous goose. Watch out though goose, if we were in your shoes we wouldn’t get so close to a bear, even if it is for a cool photo.
57. A Teddy Bear that Only Scares
It’s no secret that many toy manufacturers cut corners when it comes to mass-producing things for kids. Their hope is that small children won’t pay too much attention to the way the toy is built, they’ll be too busy playing with it and then eventually forget about it in a pile of their other toys. But it looks like there was one child curious enough to check under their teddy bear’s sweater, and this is what they ended up finding.
Something tells us that this kid is going to have to sleep in their parent’s bed for a few nights. Any kid would have nightmares after seeing this bear that is essentially just a head with two very long legs.
56. Oh Would You Like To Sit As Well?
Have you ever seen a bear rug In someone’s home? Well, this is the housecat version. It looks great draped over a couch, as we see in this picture here, or even placed in front of a roaring fireplace. And the best part is, you still have a real-life cat! Can you imagine if your pet was this big and fluffy?
We don’t know what that would be like but one thing’s for sure, that cat that way too big to live in an apartment. If you’re thinking of recreating this look for your home do make sure that your cat is the exact same shade as your rug, maybe bring him shopping with you to pick out just the right one.
55. Hey What’s That On Your Back?
Umm…what happened here? Llamas are known to be pack animals and also quite combative, but this is certainly a little much. Whichever way you look at this setup it seems like a bad idea and a very risky method of armed combat. But at least this llama will seem a lot tougher than the rest of his friends, he is now double trouble, armed, and spitting.
Maybe this is just an example of elaborate accessorization on the part of this llama. What do you think? Is this llama rocking a statement look or is he just being taken advantage of? Either way, we’d like to know where he’s going so we can stay out of his way!
54. Get the Outsider!
It looks like an outsider stumbled across a Muppet convention, and apparently he’s going to be dealt with! For some reason, all of them are dressed as Beaker, though one of them is a kind of goth girl version of the character. Whatever they’re doing must be top secret, just look at how fiercely that one in the back is pointing!
The photographer managed to get this shot before the head Beaker took him away. They can’t risk having anyone expose their secrets, like the location for where they get their cartoon heads. It’s going to be hard to watch any Muppets movie after coming across this photo. Suddenly that “meep meep!” sounds a lot more menacing.
53. He’s So Two-Faced
This guy truly wants to keep a little weirdness alive in the world. We can only imagine what his tattoo artist’s reaction was when he explained what he wanted to get done. Something like this is a real commitment to standing out, that or he’s just preparing for a brand new life in the jungle. Now predators won’t know which way he’s facing!
People who catch this guy on the street are in for a real shock. One look at the back of his head is enough to make anyone scream. We hope he doesn’t have any kids, they’d probably get freaked out on a regular basis. And it doesn’t help that this second “face” looks so agitated!
52. We Just Have to Know Why
Sometimes liquid soap for children has decorative objects like glitter or little plastic stars. We wonder if some parent out there wanted to recreate something similar, and that’s how this bizarre creation came into existence. Is there any other explanation for this barbie doll that’s been shoved inside a tube of dish soap? No really, we’re asking you because we have absolutely no idea.
We have to admit it’s impressive that someone was able to make the doll fit through that small opening. It’s almost like a ship in a glass bottle, but more unsettling than cool. The reason behind this horrific craft may never come to light, though the memory of this image will be permanently burned in all our minds.
51. Sorry, What are Your Services?
It seems entrepreneurship is more common these days, everyone’s trying to start up their own business. Some of these services are a little more out there than others, but we’re pretty sure this one takes the cake. We’ve heard of home remedies but this is just ridiculous! We’re positive this has to be some kind of prank, though we wonder who has the imagination for something like this.
Think too hard about it and your brain just might short circuit. We wonder what happens when you call that number. We’re not going to try it for ourselves! For all we know, dialing her number will place a curse on your entire house. Not worth the risk.
50. Barbie’s Branching Out
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first; no this isn’t an officially licensed Mattel toy. However, with everything Barbie’s branched out into, is it hard to believe this was authentic? She’s been a pilot, chef, clothing designer, why not communicate with the dead? If anyone could add a fabulous flair to Ouija boards, it’s Barbie!
We wonder who she’d try to contact with one of these. Are there any deceased characters in the Barbie lore? Does she have grandparents or parents who’ve passed away? Come to think of it, we’re not sure Barbie has any relatives. Maybe if Ken gets in a tragic accent she can use this device to speak to him from beyond the grave.
49. So THAT’S Why it Smells
This takes embracing your insecurities to a whole new level. It’s embarrassing when you start to smell something funky, only to realize you are the culprit. But it makes it a little less humiliating when you just embrace it. Look at her smile! You can’t argue with that. She is fearless, and she is working that onion on her armpit.
You can try to bring her down and tell her how awful it is but she doesn’t care. All that matters is that she is happy with the result, the rest of the world can carry on living with their boring underarms. Most of the time people don’t go around holding their arms up like this for the world to sniff, so this treasure will probably go unnoticed.
48. As If Public Bathrooms Weren’t Weird Enough
Using public bathrooms is never pleasant. No matter how clean they’re kept, there will always be a weird smell and a lack of toilet paper. But this is one challenge we never thought we’d have to encounter. If you find using the urinal awkward, well, it just got a whole lot worse. But don’t worry, we’re pretty sure these were exclusively installed for giants.
That or very tiny elves who need the wall rocks to climb up. Maybe this is a way of easing the tension in a public toilet. We appreciate the sentiment, but we’d prefer to do our business and get out of there. Best put your art installations someplace else.
47. The Biggest Shrek Fan
It’s no secret that the Shrek franchise became a cultural phenomenon. It spawned four movies, dozens of toys and merchandise, plus a live musical. There are many ways fans have shown their love and appreciation for the films, but this one is a little creepy for our tastes. People like to dress up as their favorite characters, though they typically don’t go wandering about at night.
Whoever took this photo must have nerves of steel. We would’ve dropped the camera as soon as we laid eyes upon this creepy sight. Maybe this guy is trying to become the real life Shrek. He’s fully in character and wants you to get out of his swap!
46. Someone Had Time to Spare
Back in the day, people used to bring books or magazines into the bathroom. Nowadays we have our smartphones, and they provide an endless amount of entertainment when we’re trying to pass the time. Some people are a little more old-fashioned…and apparently prefer doing something a little craft while sitting on the john. We’re not sure if the next person to use the toilet was creeped out or impressed.
What would possess someone to do this? They’ve rendered this entire roll of toilet paper totally useless. Maybe they hoped someone would photograph their artwork and spread it all over the internet? If that’s the case, then they definitely succeeded.
45. Winnie Gets Dentures
What happened to Winnie the Pooh? He’s never looked more frightening. This must be what life looks like for a famous retired bear. Hopefully, his retirement fund covered those pearly whites, and he didn’t have to steal them from Christopher. Apparently, in his older age, Winnie’s hungry for more than just honey. Now he can chow down on whatever he likes.
And what happened to his nose? After years of sniffing out honey, his nose must’ve fallen off. Lucky for him, doctors these days can do wonders. Maybe they should consider more than just a nose job. Winnie needs a whole new rejuvenating look. Who knows, he might return to the limelight.
44. Not Very Appetizing Halloween Fare
Meatloaf is a pretty tasty, dependable meal. It’s the kind of thing you can whip up in a jiffy for not a lot of money. However, it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing food on the planet. We’re not sure that molding it into feet is going to help much. There must be better ways to give your food a Halloween theme, right?
Whatever happened to gummy worms eyeball cupcakes? Those are fun and appetizing ways to add a little spookiness to your meal. This is just plain unappealing regardless of how good it might taste. It’s the onion toenails that really seal the deal for us, there’s no way we could even try to eat this.
43. Creepy Crocheted Doll
There’s a whole lot more variety in dolls these days. You don’t have to choose between a porcelain display doll and a raggedy ann anymore. There are hyper realistic dolls, fashion dolls, and…whatever this creepy monstrosity is. Seriously, just because you CAN knit something doesn’t mean you SHOULD. The texture is all wrong for a baby’s face.
We’re not sure any child would be thrilled to get this gift. It looks incredibly uncomfortable to cuddle with, which is one of the more important functions of a doll, right? Texture aside, there’s something very unsettling about the look in its eyes. We think this one might be possessed, better leave it at the store!
42. How Many Cats Do You See?
This photo really is quite confusing, we can’t seem to pin down exactly what’s going on here. Is this an optical illusion or is it two cats? Take your best guess. Some might say this is a real Schrodinger’s cat situation. Or maybe this cat is doing his best impression of Peter Pan with his shadow. You’re going to have to decide which option is the most likely, it could be any of the above!
If this is two cats then we’re guessing they love to team up to create weird photos like these. They are exactly the same size and color to pull off the effect, could that be the reason their owner adopted them in the first place?
41. Art Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
Public art is not usually made to be thought-provoking, most of the time it just tries to get a smile out of anyone who passes it by. But the artist behind this very unique sculpture must have had something else in mind, either he wanted to make people think or else give them nightmares for the rest of the week!
Was this the city’s longtime mascot, or did it spring from the crazed mind of the artist’s imagination? How many more duck-banana statues are hidden around this strange town, and how long have they been a fixture there? It would be interesting to see what other types of bizarre statues are hidden in this very weird place.
40. Is There Something Comical About the Size of My Automobile?
Some people are on a tight budget and can only afford a second-hand car, but it looks like this guy might’ve bought a ride off of a toddler! There’s no way that tiny thing is big enough for his body unless he’s a lot shorter than he looks. But maybe there’s some kind of benefit to driving a car this small that we’re overlooking.
If there’s one thing we can say for sure it’s that this car probably gets great mileage. Not to mention, you’ll have a whole lot more options for parking in the city! Honestly, the only downside is probably that your legs will ache after sitting in it for too long. You’ll just have to weigh your pros and cons.
39. An Uncommon Warrior
The samurai were known as powerful and highly respected warriors in Japan. Hello Kitty is a cartoon character created in 1974, also in Japan. Despite having the same country of origin, we don’t think these two things really belong together! However, this person clearly disagrees with that viewpoint and decided to make himself intricate Hello Kitty themed samurai armor.
We’re not sure anyone would take him very seriously if he wore this on a battlefield. And we haven’t even pointed out the fact he’s wearing rubber flip-flops! You can’t go to war wearing those, dude. Though we respect his dedication to stay on theme, we still find this whole costume very unusual.
38. The Horse Was Not Consulted Here
There’s nothing unusual about dressing up with your pet for Halloween, but we have to seriously question if this concept was the best pick. This might’ve worked for a dog or even a cat, but a horse? We’re surprised she even managed to find a Luigi outfit that would fit him! It has to be homemade, there’s no way anyone’s finding a horse-sized Halloween costume on Amazon.
The horse doesn’t look particularly happy to be in this awkward-looking getup. We wonder if he’s aware of how silly he looks. His rider might be beaming ear to ear but he still has a long face! We hope they won’t scare too many children when they go trick-or-treating
37. We Call This the “Yin-Yang” Haircut
Maybe this guy couldn’t decide whether he wanted to be bald with a beard or clean-shaven with hair. Either way, we hope he decided on one or the other and didn’t end up actually going outside with that look! Mullets have been out of style for decades, so we’re not sure a look even crazier than that is going to fly.
This hair-beard style is giving us very Yin Yang vibes, maybe he just wanted to give his appearance a sense of balance. There’s really no salvaging this hairstyle unless he decides to shave everything off, or spend the next month indoors growing all the hair back! We hope he had a good reason for wanting to try out this ‘do.
36. Breaking Out the Backup Guitar
This dude’s mohawk and tattoo-covered arm seem to imply he’s into hard rock or heavy metal. Most of us would expect him to have an electric guitar, or at the very least a drum set. But for some reason, he appears to be performing with a children’s toy. Who knows why he got onstage with that plastic thing.
Maybe this was his backup when his real guitar broke before the show. We hope their fans were able to get into the concert despite the presence of this tiny instrument. Who knows, maybe this will become a gimmick in their future performances, it’s definitely not the kind of thing you see every day!
35. A Toy That Will Steal Your Kid’s Soul
At first glance there appears to be nothing wrong with this photo, it’s just a little girl who’s playing with a toy princess piano. It’s only when you have a look at the built-in mirror that you notice something has gone terribly wrong. This was probably an error on the end of the design team, but the end result is a truly terrifying image of a possessed toy.
There’s nothing more unsettling than a mirror that doesn’t reflect reality. This particular picture makes it look like the mirror has stolen this girl’s soul or something to that effect. Though this toy could be a great item for a horror movie, we wouldn’t buy it for any children!
34. Right Out of a Horror Movie
These two little girls have no idea what kind of evil is lurking behind them. One of them is still smiling for the camera, blissfully unaware she’s about to have her soul eaten by the nightmarish monster right next to her. The younger child’s expression almost makes her look like she’s in on the plan, and is waiting for the creature to do her bidding.
It’s almost like a scene right out of a classic horror movie. We guess the dark figure behind them must be a friend playing a prank on them. Once they turn around they’re sure to start screaming, and hopefully whoever is behind the camera was wise enough to capture their surprised expressions.
33. I Found My New Dancing Shoes
Are you looking for something to refresh your boring old wardrobe? These shoes are the hottest thing hitting the runway this season and we think they should be a staple in everyone’s closet! We’re kidding, of course. If anyone untrained tried to walk in these impossible things they would probably end up with a major injury. Beauty is a pain but it shouldn’t cause you to break your leg.
Perhaps someone was curious what a shoe would look like if the heel was on the other side, and decided to make his vision a reality. This model looks like she’s straining herself to stay upright, hopefully, someone is standing by to catch her if she falls!
32. The Chickens are Revolting
The chickens have started a revolution and have now taken over this police car. They’ve kicked out the patrol officers and made the car into their own personal coop. What’s next? Perhaps they will go to the post office and use it as their personal egg-laying space. One thing’s for sure, these chickens are no longer taking orders from humans anymore!
If there was something we humans never wanted to happen it was an uprising of farm animals, and it looks like the chickens are the first to lead the revolution. But seriously, this was a pretty interesting way to renovate an old car (at least we hope it was just an old car!), truly a marvel of carpentry.
31. A New Beauty Trend?
It might take you a minute to figure on what’s going on here, but once you do you’ll either be thoroughly impressed or creeped out. It probably took a significant amount of time applying this makeup to make the photo look just right, our only question is; why? Why would anyone want their face to blend in with their laptop?
Could this be some kind of new makeup trend or challenge that’s spread all over the internet? Or maybe this woman is just trying to get it to catch on in the first place. Will “Computer Face” be all the rage with Beauty Gurus? We think not, but it still makes for a pretty trippy photo.
30. A Thrilling Morning Commute
Some people try to bring a little more excitement into their daily lives. Commuting to and from work is a total drag, that’s probably why this person decided to turn their car into a road warrior. Now they can feel like a samurai while driving around in their car. Though we seriously doubt actual Japanese warriors held their swords like this.
But if you’ve got a car you might as well customize it however you want. However, you might get a lot of funny looks from other drivers when pulling up to a red light. And that’s not even getting into the fact that they needed to ruin a good sword to make this. We take it back, this is bad.
29. Very Shady Club
We can only assume these guys get together for some kind of secret lampshade wearers club. Though we can’t seem to figure out why they’re holding their meetings in the middle of a forest. Maybe they’re afraid someone from the outside will catch them in the act. You don’t want someone you know to find you in a compromised position like this!
We have to wonder how long this club has been active, and how many members they might have. We see four of them in the photo but perhaps there are lots more outside of the shot. We’re not sure we want to know what they’re discussing, it might be too weird for us to digest.
28. Don’t Mind Me and My Pet Duck
We’ve seen a lot of weird pets in our time but this one really takes the cake. Animal companionship can come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s been known that people will turn up anywhere with exotic service animals ranging from pygmy horses to peacocks. This example is maybe less exotic and more agricultural, perhaps she’s just come from the farm to buy a new bottle of nail polish.
Studies show that people who have pets live longer and it looks like this lady is proving that hypothesis correct! So quacky or not, we think she has the right Idea. Plus, now you know that you don’t need to choose between being a cat or a dog person. The possibilities are endless!
27. The Most Terrifying Guitarist
This guy didn’t think the logistics of this animal suit through after deciding to bring his guitar along with him. Maybe he should have left the instrument behind, nothing he’s going to play on that is worth the nightmare fuel he’s giving everyone around him. It literally looks like a cute, cuddly cartoon bear has swallowed the man whole.
And he hasn’t even finished chewing him up because his arm is sticking out, and he’s still able to play the guitar! Though it appears he didn’t need both hands to play, his right hand is doing just fine while still in the bear suit. Next time either the suit or the guitar should stay at home!
26. Pikachu, What Happened to You?
This carnival really cheaped out with their character costumes. Forget the bargain bin, this Pikachu costume looks like someone picked it out of a dumpster. The guy wearing it doesn’t seem particularly committed to the role, he’s taken off the gloves (if there were any, to begin with) and rolled the sleeves up just to get as comfy as possible.
We’re not sure why that kid is all smiles, if we were within 10 feet of that thing we’d be running in the other direction! Just the eyes alone are enough to make you shudder with fear. That’s got to be one super brave kid, that or he just hasn’t turned around to see what exactly he’s posing with.
25. Everyone Has a Hobby
Every person on Earth has their passion. Some people have enough money to invest in their particular hobby, no matter how unusual it might be. Boating is an activity a lot of people try once in their lives, though they don’t typically ride one like this! Someone must be a really big fan of hot dogs, we wonder what his car looks like!
We can only imagine how much this hot dog boat sticks out among all the others. It would be impossible for him to lose it, maybe that’s the idea. But how long did it take to create something like this, and how much does it cost? We suppose no time or money is too much when it comes to one’s passion.
24. Not Your Typical Family Photo
There’s something very unusual going on in this old family photo. Everyone is sitting on the couch, fully dressed for the occasion, but the daughter of this family decided to go a different route. Instead of joining everyone else, she decided to sport a green bikini and pose by the door. We’re amazed she managed to do this before the camera’s timer went off.
Everyone seems to be more than a little confused. Grandma is totally transfixed by her granddaughter’s sudden decision, while her dad and brother are purposely looking away. The combination of the old-fashioned room and the bold outfit choice is too hard not to ogle at. We’re positive this photo will be a standout in the photo album!
23. Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile
People don’t always throw on their best outfits when they leave the house to go grocery shopping. That’s perfectly understandable, but maybe it would be a good idea to do a quick check in the mirror to make sure your dress isn’t see-through! And wouldn’t you know it, the day she chose to wear this dress she also decided to put on her cartoon face underwear.
That’s a pretty embarrassing thing to own on its own, whether people see you in it or not. The face peeking out from behind the yellow fabric just seems like too much of a coincidence, could it be that she planned her look this way? If so, that may be considered indecent exposure!
22. My Favorite Animal? Why Do You Ask?
Lots of people love to customize cars, and after all, everybody needs a hobby. But we don’t know where this interesting looking hot rod could have come from. Is this the product of an old episode of “Pimp My Ride” or is this the owner’s labor of love? Either way, this car will always stand out in a parking lot.
If there’s one thing we know for sure it’s that the resale value of this car is either very high or very low. You just need to find the right niche market of hippo enthusiasts. Though there’s always a chance you won’t be able to sell this vehicle it’s a small price to pay for something you’re so passionate about.
21. Let Him In, He Looks So Nice
It’s always a good idea to be nice and friendly with your neighbors. But is that still true if your neighbor is a bear? Let’s not judge too fast, maybe he just wants to borrow a cup of sugar to bake cookies. Or maybe you’ve fallen into a real-life version of Goldilocks and the three bears. And if that’s the case, maybe it’s you who should get out of the bear’s house!
If you do encounter a bear in real life though, would you know what to do? Don’t fight with him, just give him the cup of sugar he’s come for and wish him a good day. Just kidding, that method might have you at the wrong end of a bear attack!
20. I’ll Have A Meat, Oops…Seat For Seven Please
Continuing in the vein (yes pun intended) of baffling objects, we wonder if the sculptor was hungry when he created this dining table set. It would be interesting to know what kind of person ended up purchasing it. We think the only person who would go for a design like this would be a very big fan of grilling and barbequing.
But for the regular consumer, this dining set would look a lot more appealing if the marble was just a few shades in a different direction. Most people might feel a little icky sitting on what feels like a raw slab of meat, even if that’s not really what it is. Let’s just hope no vegetarians catch sight of this.
19. Owl Boy
This picture is just disturbing. Either his neck has creepy, magical rotating powers or he’s been possessed. His hands in his jacket pouch pocket makes the whole thing look ten times worse. Obviously, the only reasonable explanation is that this boy is wearing his hoodie backwards and putting his hands in his pockets behind his back.
It’s such an unusual way to wear clothes. And what ten year old looking boy stands with his hands behind his back? Seems like he’s trying to sell the illusion and creep everyone else out. It definitely worked in our case!
18. Underwater Mask
This floating mask is actually just a shark swimming underwater. If you change your perspective you’ll notice the shark teeth and the snout. But the weird shadows are hard to explain. They clearly look like eyes and a nose. It’s hard to believe that it’s just a trick of the light. There are so many undiscovered things in the ocean. Why couldn’t there be a floating head?
It’s true that the majority of the oceans have yet to be fully explored. There’s also the fact that once you get to a certain depth, man-made instruments have trouble functioning. There will probably always be parts of the ocean that are unavailable to the human eye. Perhaps this photo is a preview of what’s yet to be discovered.
17. Iceman Creeping In The Window
This picture looks like it must have been planned. As if there was someone who helped chisel this ice sculpture. It has such a human-like shape, you almost think it’s a person who was caught in a blizzard. But most likely, this phenomenon was a random feat of nature. Some flow of water froze in the right place at the right time.
The fact the humanoid ice sculpture is right in front of a window makes it creepier. Can you imagine waking up to that? It was probably terrifying to see something that looks like it’s watching you. It almost makes you think you’re seeing some kind of ice ghost.
16. Creepy Look, Creepy Thumb
This ad for needlepoint needs some help. The girl’s smile looks practically devilish and something’s wrong with her hands. If you stare closely enough, you realize the overly large thumb is from her left hand and not her right. But the initial shock is enough to make any advertisement fall flat. You would think they would have at least used some photoshop to fix it.
This promotion probably did more harm to the company than good. Even if it went viral, it probably did so in the wrong places. Plus, no one’s paying attention to the brand name when looking at this photo. The focus just moves from the deformed thumb to the staring eyes and back to the thumb again.
15. Some Dry Legs
There’s no telling how a pair of pink underwear made its way into the branches of this tree. It would be impossible to put those on over the branches like humans do over their legs. Nothing would be able to stretch that far. So the first question that you’re confronted with is “How?” They must have been sewn on after the fact. Unless those underpants have been growing with the tree for many, many years.
The second question is “Why?” Giving a tree a crotch is a very weird humanization that makes everyone uncomfortable. Suddenly the tree feels naked and exposed. It makes you wonder if there are any other clothes trapped in the branches of this forest.
14. The Floating Girl
When you first look at this picture, you spend several minutes trying to locate these girl’s legs. You keep searching for the faint outline of white pants. But when you finally realize that there are no shoes or feet at the bottom, your brain starts to gather that maybe there are no legs to find. It’s not a trick of the light, she’s just sitting on the ledge.
It’s the length of the jacket and all the other people standing around that make the whole thing seem wrong. Instead of the obvious conclusion that she’s sitting, your brain wants to complete the picture and add legs in. It’s like an optical illusion.
13. Bread Helmet
This whole photo is several very odd choices rolled into one. And frankly, there doesn’t seem to be a reasonable explanation for any of it. No matter how much you speculate and wonder, no obvious answer arises. There are some weird things that happen in performance art, but this doesn’t seem like it would be one of them.
However, you can guess what probably happened minutes after the taking of this photo. This man is likely a couple seconds away from being attacked by hungry pigeons. There’s no telling why he might want a bunch of angry birds pecking at his head, but that’s the only logical explanation that comes to mind. People truly are weird sometimes.
12. Beats By Dre – Nature Edition
This cute little frog is sporting some limited edition snail headphones. Either that, or he’s dressing up as Princess Leah from Star Wars. The smirk on the creature’s face really makes the photo. Sometimes nature is adorable. But then again, it’s really not clear what the relationship between the three animals is.
There are several symbiotic relationships in nature. In these partnerships, both animals benefit. For example, sharks and pilot fish. The fish eat scraps of food left in the shark’s teeth and rid them of parasites while the shark’s presence protects them from predators. But here, it could be that the snails are paralyzed to the frog’s poisonous skin and actually its dinner. It’s anyone’s guess.
11. Bunny Patrol
This adorable little rabbit looks like the movie Zootopia came to life. But once you get past the initial cuteness of the soft, fluffy animal, you can’t help but wonder why. It’s incredibly unlikely that a rabbit would be helpful to the police force. They could potentially be a good distraction or decoy, but hardened criminals aren’t going to be sidetracked by a cute pet.
And it’s doubtful they can be trained to sniff out any kind of drug. The most likely explanation is Halloween. The owners probably bought a costume fit for a small dog and then adjusted it to their bunny. That’s a lot of commitment for a holiday.
10. Everyone Catches A Cold Sometimes
No matter how healthy you are, sometimes we all get a bit under the weather. It’s nobody’s fault but Mother Nature’s (and yours if you don’t wash your hands). When a cold tries to knock us out we fight back. We’re not letting a little sniffle stop us from doing what we love! This is both our internal monologue as well as this gargoyle. They were just chilling on a tower, minding their business, doing their job, then BAM!
Winter struck! While most statues are fine in cold conditions, this one looks a bit worried. We get it. We’d also be scared if a giant icicle prevented us from closing our mouths. At least spicy food doesn’t stand a chance with this guy frozen’s tongue!
9. That’s A Potent Puff of Air!
Quick science lesson: methane is a gas that’s produced in high quantities of cow farts. That may sound weird and unimportant, but it’s pretty big. 40% of all the methane produced on Earth is from gassy bovines! While that sounds like a fourth-grade joke gone wrong, it’s frighteningly true. The atmosphere doesn’t enjoy it and it’s also pretty flammable.
Maybe someone thought it would be cute to light a match near Bessie here. All right, we’re totally kidding, this cow is fine. At least we’re assuming so. Regardless, that fire isn’t from their rear. What’s the purpose of it though? Sometimes pictures aren’t worth a thousand words. They sure do create a thousand questions, though!
8. Always Wear Protection While Snacking
No matter the sport or profession, if you need a helmet to enjoy something safely then wear one. It’s not too obtrusive and sometimes they can be really cute. There are even some head protectors that let your ears stick out from the top! Okay, that probably only works if you’re a horse. At least they’re being represented by big companies!
Plus, it helps if you have similar hair to your horse and take a picture at just the right time. Yeah, we get it. This is forced perspective tricking our eyes. However, you can’t deny that this is well done. We’re still not convinced this isn’t some sort of centaur mix enjoying a donut.
7. That’s Where Ninja Turtles Live
Some colors are harder to come across in the real world than others. While radioactive ooze may glow green in the shows, it doesn’t actually look-oh…it does? It’s THAT green? Wow. Okay. Now we have a lot of questions. Instead of wondering who edited this photo, we need to ask who spilled this toxic waste. Is someone trying to mutate the wildlife?
That’s not how you create a pizza-guzzling crime-fighting force. If anything, it’s a biological disaster waiting to happen. Maybe this is how supervillains are created! Regardless, that shade of green doesn’t look natural or happy to be there. What else lives under our roadways?
6.Don’t Hate Him Because He’s Beautiful
If you’re not familiar with the cultural phenomenon that is Spongebob Squarepants please check it out before continuing. Already binged every episode from the past twenty-three years? Great, let’s go. We’ve all seen the meme of Patrick in his black boots. It’s pretty great, wonderfully animated, and an inspiration to high-heel wearers everywhere. That starfish was prancing, dipping, and all-around slaying while wearing those shoes!
It was only a matter of time before the real world caught up. We just didn’t expect him to jump out of the TV and into our neighborhood! Look at how tall that anthropomorphic starfish is standing! Why are they there? No clue. At least they look happy and fabulous.
5. Cat-Pope Requires Special Protection
If you’ve ever seen the Pope taking an afternoon stroll then you’ve probably checked out his ride. The Popemobile is a super special piece of automotive tech. This bulletproof and reinforced fish tank was designed so everyone could see him when he was out for a drive. It’s a pretty sweet ride, too. Surely, leaders of animal groups have something similar. How else would they protect those who lead the pack?
Cat-Pope is the same way. But perhaps their budget is a bit smaller than the human version. That explains the plastic wrap around their ride. As long as they’re safe and happy then who are we to judge? It’s not like we have a giant hat or something.
4. We Don’t Remember This Title
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a pretty famous series. While it may not be for everyone, it still made a splash in the pop culture world. From spin-off music to memes, this title has seen it all. As it turns out, it even exists in a parallel universe where dragons replaced humans! All right, so this is more of a detailed fantasy fanfic that managed to get published, but look at the attention to detail!
Someone knew what audience they were writing for. Our only questions are: why and how did they find a cover artist who knew just what to make? You know what they say: There’s an audience for everything!
3. I Said Stop Working NOW!
When you get into the groove of things sometimes you lose track of time, right? We’ve all been there. That, or, we have a big deadline we just have to meet! Just because we’re into working doesn’t mean our pets are fans of the same mentality. Sometimes, they’re the ones to help us realize that work isn’t the most important thing ever.
While the occasional walk or break is good, sometimes even more drastic measures need to be taken. Thankfully, this feathered friend knows exactly what to do to ensure their human partner gives them the attention they deserve. Maybe they can bond over putting the keys back in the right places later!
2. Maybe It’s Time for a Tune-Up
Getting a license and your first car is a pretty big deal. What people don’t tell you about those things is that you have to maintain whatever you get. That means taking your new ride in for regular maintenance, oil checks, and de-weeding. What? You’ve never driven an eco-friendly planter car? That explains why your carbon footprint is so big. Obviously, this car isn’t going on the road anytime soon.
However, it’s been repurposed into something a bit more natural and less fossil fuel chugging. Our only question is: why is it upside-down? Couldn’t you plant more flowers if it were firmly on the ground? We’re not automobile-gardeners though, so don’t ask us.
1. Is That A Cat Under Your Slip?
Get your minds out of the gutter. There’s no way this is someone riding the subway on their way to work in a cat cafe. Y’all are sick. This is probably someone riding the subway on their way home from WORKING in a cat cafe. The world of cosplay, fantasy character actors, and dressing up for fun can seem pretty odd to those not in the know.
However, once you begin to explore how complicated and elaborate this world (and those costumes) can get, you can’t help but be impressed. That still doesn’t prepare for cat-people to start crawling up the bus walls or hissing at dogs in carriers. Maybe those people are just REALLY into keeping character.
