Heroes Of Hilarity Who Tickled Everyone’s Funny Bone

Some people just seem effortlessly funny. It's surprisingly hard to do consistently, but for those with a natural talent for it, it's even harder not to make people laugh. While some are more capable of being serious than others, they all have a way of making our lives a little brighter.

Fortunately, enough of those people are around to make this collection of total crowd-pleasers possible. While it's true that humor is subjective and you can't please everyone, that doesn't stop certain folks from finding a way to get pretty close.

Saving him from himself

When it's time to get down to business, it always seems like that's the precise moment when all the distractions want to come out of the woodwork. By the end of the day, it's hard not to feel bad when you realize how much time they all ate up.

Well, that's not how this man's going to feel when it's quitting time. Even though dragging him into a series of meandering conversations sounds easy, it's clear that the boss has their eye on anyone trying to do that.

When people are stuck doing a boring job, it doesn't usually take long before they come up with fun little ways to mess around and make their days bearable. From the looks of things, that's no less true for the people who write science textbooks than it is for anyone else.

ADVERTISEMENT

It's so easy to recognize the mood the writer was in when they came up with this one, too. It often starts with a shake of the head and the writer saying, "This is so dumb," to themselves before their joke grows on them so much that they can't help but put it in.

Sometimes the best jokes aren't made on purpose

Believe it or not, this wasn't the work of some sophisticated prankster who wanted to make it clear that those going to McDonald's for healthy options are heading for the wrong place. As Reddit user Luvbeers explained, this was a genuine printing error by the company.

Still, considering that many McDonald's locations don't offer salads anymore and that the ones they did have were loaded with more sodium than a Big Mac, whoever messed this up was accidentally very honest. Not only that but they were accidentally hilarious about how they expressed it.

Awkward for them, hilarious for everyone else

This image leaves people with a lot to take in but the context is that this person is a YouTuber who green screens himself out of the video so it looks like only his puppet is talking. As for why he has that grimace on his face, it's because his roommate just walked in on him dressed like a bad guy from the Ninja Turtles.

ADVERTISEMENT

It's unclear whether that face is angry for disturbing his filming or filled with the realization of how weird this looks to everyone else, but the roommate was apparently too busy laughing to ask.

There's something oddly comforting about the knowledge that no matter how much the world changes, there will always be kids who vandalize signs to make them say funny things. It's hard to guess what it said before, but it's "lick N poo" now.

Depending on how old this ice cream shop is, it's not impossible that the culprit's parents made the exact same joke 40 years ago. Those with lactose intolerance can also attest that this isn't exactly inaccurate for them.

Of course, they had to add the little permanent marker eyebrows to complete the look. The Creature from the Black Lagoon may look sillier, but he isn't any less angry. Actually, he's probably angrier now that his victims won't take him seriously.

It's clear that the man Madeline Miller was writing about had an olive skin tone, and she wanted to express that creatively. However, her description of him sounded more like, "His skin was like the most radiant mucus after it was mellifluously sneezed into a tissue."

After all, the kind of compensation most dogs are looking for is a proper treat and some belly scratches. So many humans out there wouldn't need any lawyer to tell them to do that. Come to think of it, that's probably the lawyer's retainer, too.

At a recent marathon in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, one participant showed up in a familiar outfit. It really is a credit to Forrest Gump's costume department that even 30 years later, we can recognize the iconic nature of what would otherwise be a pretty normal outfit.

That said, the biggest clue would be that it's not exactly traditional running gear. It's also hard not to wonder if this guy kept running after the race was over. Of course, marathons are hard so it's hard to blame him if he didn't.

Hey, at least this student was mad at themselves in this one and not the professor. It may not compel them to add any grade points (nice try if this was all a setup) but won't make them take any away out of spite either. While they're at it, they can work on submitting their work on time as well.

This photo requires a little explanation. As Reddit user Sam_Jackson_Beer said, their parents have a cat who has recently experienced an injury that it makes it more difficult to walk. This led their dad to build the little guy some steps for his litter box.

ADVERTISEMENT

In an adorable move, the dad even put this little blue accessible sign next to the stairs. It's a cute and thoughtful touch and it's also probably the only time a set of steps should have this sign next to it.

Frankly, the absurdity of having to prove that something doesn't exist didn't deserve this creative, hilarious response. But if that picture of him eating a plate of nothing doesn't convince them he's telling the truth, nothing will. The acting is wonderful.

Presumably, "Seymour Butz" wouldn't fit on the plate. And it's even less clear how a similarly inclined woman could ever get Amanda Huggenkiss to fit in a comprehensible way either. It's clear that Mr. Jass has put a lot of thought into this one.

While it seems likely that some local pranksters thought it would be funny to put this welcome mat in front of a port-a-potty, it's also a little hard not to want this to be the result of a construction crew trying to make the site a little more homey.

Either way, it's both a funny little gesture and a sad commentary on how crazy it is for renters out there. Every Airbnb that doesn't look like the sample pictures might as well be this.

As for what he's saying into the microphone, they apparently made him sing Madonna's "Like A Virgin" for them. They also autographed the shirt and let him keep it, which is a wholesome way to end what sounded like a deeply charming series of events.

It looked like this group of chickens was the hardest, toughest, and most controversial rap act out there. Naturally, this meant they had to turn that photo into an album cover. Presumably, one can expect a lot of angry clucking over drill beats.

The matter of whether or not cursive writing has any utility in day-to-day life is subject to a pretty big generational divide. Although many older adult have expressed outrage when schools stop teaching it, younger people like this make a compelling counterpoint.

Aside from signing documents, most people aren't likely to find they'll need to use cursive writing for any particular reason. It was also a nice touch to not write this sign in cursive either. There's a man with conviction.

From the looks of it, some of the people living around this bar didn't think everything through before they moved in. Sure, it seems convenient to be close to a place like that until folks realize that it means dealing with its clientele.

That said, what do they want the bar to do about it, stop doing business entirely? Whatever it was, it probably didn't involve those patrons reminding them of their lack of foresight at the same volume that they were yelling about whatever else. It really costs nothing to mind one's own business.

Although dog-shaming posts where people hang a sign detailing a dog's hilarious misdeeds around its neck are fairly common, it's going to be pretty hard to top this one. Considering that it not only knew how to lock the car's door but knew to wait until there was a mother lode of food in there, this dog's basically an evil genius.

Honestly, look at the distinct lack of guilt on this dog's face. Most dogs are too sweet to be proud of their bad behavior but most dogs also don't think of brilliant schemes like this. And that's why they eat whatever their owners give them and not whatever they want.

Not only that but it's hard to even call this vandalism. It's as easy as putting the letters they switched around back and it doesn't even involve moving that many. It would be hard to bother even stopping this person if they caught them doing it.
