40+ Pics Without Context That Get Funnier and Funnier the Longer You Look at Them

A son and a father often share many, many traits. It could be physical traits, like hair color or eyes, or it could be behavioral traits. But it turns out it’s not just parents and kids that behave similarly; pets can also pick up some traits from their human parents.

This dog and this man are good examples of this phenomenon. They seem to share the same habit and expression-making genes.

This photo is an example of what a love child between a fan of Coldplay and Pink Floyd might look like. There are enough rainbows to make it peppy and uplifting like Coldplay, while the bowl cut gives it an edgy rock-band vibe.

The ankle bracelet only adds to the photo. You know this is one canary you do not want to mess with!

Disney fans show their love for the characters in a lot of different ways. Some love to visit Disneyland and hang out with the characters, while some hold marathons at home bingeing the entire Toy Story series.

But this fan took their love just one step further! Now nobody can say that Ariel can only swim in the ocean; she can even climb the branches of a braid now.

There’s nothing as jarring as getting a close-up look at yourself in the makeup mirror. Every pimple, every stray hair, every blackhead, is laid bare for you in all its glory.

This cat didn’t wake up that day thinking that today would be the day he’d get up and close to his face. But we can’t decide what surprises await us in a day, and this cat didn’t either.

We all know that love can cross all geographical and emotional boundaries. Even the traffic rules and regulations don’t hold a candle to the need to show affection!

This person was so desperate for face-time with this pup that he put all his energy into leaning toward the other car. And he wasn’t alone! The receiver was as enthusiastic as the giver, in this case.

There are many places people can walk on. Roads, bridges, and high lines are just some examples. But according to the person placing this particular sign, some can even walk on water.

That can only be the only explanation of why the sign is where it is. The bigger question is how the person placing the stand managed to walk on water.

A brand’s logo is its identity and is essential to its success. Many brands use animals, just like the sports brand Puma. Puma’s brand logo is – you guessed it right – a puma!

This cat’s timing and placement worked wonders in imitating the brand’s famous jumping logo. We’re glad the brand isn’t crocs, and the animal isn’t a green, carnivorous giant.

There’s a popular theme regarding dating apps and profile pictures. People opt for showing off things like their physique, cute pets, and sweet gadgets. This cat must be a hit in his cat community dating circle because this photo is fire!

Only some people can take a photo with some excellent wheels and not come off looking like they’re showing off.

The person who coined the term ‘to take to something like a duck to water’ has never met this little fellow. He doesn’t seem to be taken to water like a normal duck. But isn’t standing out all the rage now?

Hopefully, the duck taxi was well-compensated for his services across the lake. A back massage is in order!

We all know the term ‘hidden in plain sight.’ It’d help if you always had your eyes wide open, so your senses could be constantly working to be aware of all the happenings around you. But sometimes, when we take a long look, we realize the danger was in front of us all along.

If you still think this photo is just a plain old bowl of fruits, we recommend you look again because the biggest surprises slither in when we’re not looking.

Cats have been one of the shadier, and shall we say cattier, of all the pets humans have adopted over the years. It’s why they’re associated with grace, slyness, and being incredibly sneaky.

We wouldn’t be surprised if, one day, cats have a secret society to connect and plot their uprising. It’d certainly explain this dude’s interest in his human’s computer.

Everybody who’s ever seen Bob the Builder is probably fascinated by the art of masonry. Watching Daisy slowly churn out the materials while the other machines are doing their thing, with Bob ending up building a wall, is a nostalgic memory.

But the lesser known fact is that the art doesn’t just lay in making a straight-bricked wall. To make a wall even a little lopsided requires some true skills like this mason seems to possess.

Where there’s a will, there’s always a way. No matter how much patience and determination it takes to achieve a goal, people who want to do it will do it.

There can be no other explanation for how this ball of cheese puffs came to be. Only a strong desire to do it could’ve gotten a person here. Art is, indeed, present all around.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. This person’s friendship with his pet duck seems to be one for the ages, as he carries it around the city in his backpack. The duo is a delight on the road as pedestrians stop them to ask if they can take a photo.

Some internet users have even come up with cool new names for the bag – like a ‘quack pack’ or ‘duck sack!’

Meet hamster – the latest model to hit the mouse market recently. It has many pros! It’s cuddly, cute, and will provide you with affection. The con? It might not work best paired with your computer.

If you’re ever feeling down, push away all your mice and bring out the hamster! We dare you not to smile and laugh at the adorableness of it all.

It’s common knowledge that Nokia is probably the strongest, longest-lasting phone to ever have been made with a battery that’ll last a lifetime (Apple, please learn something).

Even though this model has been walled in with bricks by mistake, we wouldn’t be surprised if it starts ringing even after all this time. There’s rarely anything that can end the life of a Nokia phone.

This is the t-shirt that one needs to wear on a day when they just can’t. This is the perfect antidote for people who aren’t in the mood to do anything and need something to get their message across.

This t-shirt would also be a hit with the procrastinators who can’t find it in themselves to get their work done. Standing at the DMV? Need to take out the trash? You know what you need to wear!

This photo is a warning to anyone who thinks putting a scratch-it sticker on their car is a good idea. There’s no excuse, absolutely none, that can be good enough to tell people to scratch it – “it” being the car!

We’re pretty sure there’s a valid reason why a person had this sticker on the car, but we don’t think it’s there anymore.

Never let anybody know what your next move is! That’s a trend currently taking over TikTok, but this slide has already won this trend, through and through.

For everybody who’s getting on this ride for smooth sailing, beware! Hold on tight, because this is going to be a very bumpy ride! Only get on if you can take the heat.

If you’re fond of romance, you’ve come across big love moments. One of the most significant, and most adorable, love moments to ever be captured on screen is the meatball scene in Lady and the Tramp.

This person has found these look-alikes for the animated dogs, and all that’s left is a little meatball-pushing video wherein the two fall in love.

If you’ve ever wanted to take a photo at a portal, this holey place is perfect. This place is where the entrance of the next comic-con should lie. Step in here and into your fantasy land!

If we stick around long enough here, we might see Doctor Strange perform one of his tricks. Or Aslan might jump out to share a new nugget of wisdom.

Tom and Jerry is a classic cartoon show that brings back unlimited memories for everybody, from millennials and older. But it turns out that even more than the kids (and sometimes the adults), it’s the cat community that loves the show.

Maybe they’re also waiting for the day Tom triumphs over Jerry and one of his many traps finally works out. Until then, they’re also glued to the screen, watching the famous cat and mouse go round and round.

No, that’s not an elephant head, but two cute tushies belonging to two very mischievous cats. This duo sports the deer-in-the-headlights look.

Pet parents are always a little scared of leaving their pets at home because they’re unsure what havoc they’ll return to. We’re sure that, now, the owners of these two little beasts aren’t going to leave them home alone anytime soon. No milk for the night!

This is a great Halloween costume for a group of doctors! A group of Beakers is clever and it’s on-point for their profession!

Even better than all the muppets walking around is the goth version of the long-suffering assistant. It’s a muppet party night, and the soundtrack of the night is “meep, meep, meep!”

We all know that one frog that got kissed by a princess and turned into a prince himself. There can be other frogs who can earn a place in the Frog Hall of Fame, as well.

These frogs are ready to swear their allegiance to their rock star, who not only bagged a princess but even became a prince himself. Excuse us while we look through the guidebook to see how to become royalty.

This dog has undoubtedly got his best friend’s back, or at least his friend’s metal look-alike. Something is endearing about this little munchkin’s rescue mission and his entry into the pulling train.

He couldn’t bear to be left out of the tug-of-war played by these statues! The only thing left is to wait and watch how long this line can extend. Next stop – the dog’s owner coming to pull the dog away.

This is an excellent example of your eyes playing a game on you, or taking the perfect picture at the ideal time. Looking at the lady, you might be tempted to smile, but know she won’t be smiling back.

The only thing that can improve this is if the actress on the pages turns out to be the one reading the magazine. It’s far-fetched, but we must keep hoping.

Beware one and all! The Wicked Witch of the West is amongst us! What we have here is her loyal and trusted broom. But wait, what’s that?

It turns out that even witches need some comfort when they travel! It can’t always be easy balancing yourself on a tiny broom handle! The new upgrade of brooms includes a seat to sit your rear for a comfortable journey and a cushioned landing.

We all know that Sonic runs hard, and he runs fast! So if you’re looking to do something clever with your wheels, do what this person did.

Now, the car’s wheels are in supersonic motion! All that’s left is to watch this piece of art in action and see how fast Sonic the Hedgehog – or, um, the car – can run.

If you’ve ever come to that point in your chess game where you think that all you can do is sweep the pieces across in anger; just wait, pause, and breathe. We might know something else you can do. Introducing: the ultimate checkmate move! It can move diagonally, forward, and backward.

Everywhere you want to go, anything you want to do, this ultimate piece will help you on your way. Fair warning, though, you may be disqualified. But who cares? You’ve got this bad boy to hide behind!

It’s a party for hedgehogs, and they’re all ready to make a train and dance on the stage! That’s not true, but this is some sort of gathering. The question is, for what?

Maybe the hedgehogs are all waiting for the most famous one among them, Sonic. Or perhaps the hedgehog owners decided to band together due to their shared experience of owning such a rare pet.

Wait a minute, there is a slight issue with the last towel. We just asked for a roll, not a roll with a hot dog in it!

It’s hard to understand how far owners will go to take a funny photo of their pets, but one thing is clear: This puppy was unimpressed by this situation and wanted to return to safer grounds – immediately.

Who said that dressing up in the middle of the day, for no reason, is bad? After all, it provides many benefits.

This duo looks ready to wreak havoc in the city and become the villains to be feared in the next DC movie. Maybe the one wearing the mask is named Multi-Faced, due to the many faces she seems to be sporting.

Who said that chopsticks could only be used for Asian food? Move over noodles, rice, and kimchi! If you’re good enough, you can eat everything with chopsticks – even burgers!

If this man successfully finished this burger with chopsticks, he deserves a gold medal for his attempt! This is an impressive skill that you can’t help but want to have yourself. It’s mess-free and crazy amazing!

Can’t get enough chocolate? We have just the thing for you to munch on! Presenting, the giant Toblerone! It’s delicious to look at and even more delicious to eat.

It could be a roadblock because it’s hard to ignore an item in the middle of the road. But either way, it’s bound to make someone’s day. Good luck attempting to eat this!

If you’ve seen a movie with clones, you’ll know how scary this photo is. The moment they start to multiply is when you know it’s time to run, hide, and get ready to fight.

After all, it’s what saved Juni and Carmen in Spy Kids. Unless it’s just a busful of ladies going for an audition for the next Legally Blonde movie. In this case, ride away girls! We can’t wait to see what Elle is up to!

Slow and steady wins the race. We all know this, we all try to practice this, but sometimes we only remember this after we’ve failed on an epic level.

This person probably started cursing loudly when they opened this package and found their mouse and the wire in two different pieces. Next time, they should try doing things step by step and cutting from the corners.

Trying to be an engineer is no joke, even when your efforts are happening in your mom’s garage, and you’re 14 years old. This person aimed to make a shadow light that’d cast a shadow on Batman, but alas, all their hard work went to waste.

It’s almost as if you can feel the person’s emotions with this series of photos, going from extreme elation and hope to absolute disappointment.

These aren’t just two cars. They’re a symbol, a symbol of soulmates. They’re two halves of a whole. Once together, they’re complete and become an entire being that wows every passerby.

Or they’re the cars of a couple who decided to do something quirky and exchange parts of their car instead of rings. It’s the highest commitment form, not to mention a unique idea.

In our hearts, and of course, our brains, we know that this is just a photo taken so that it looks like the dog is stretched out all the way. It’s not one dog, but two dogs.

However, it’s always better to believe that the family from The Incredibles had an elastic pet – this dog. He’s ready to assist in all their missions, with his super stretchy ability!

There seems to be a glitch in the matrix, as this cat is taking too long to load! This pixelated kitty looks like it’s just as shocked as we are to see how long it’s taking to develop clearly. Perhaps the cat is just standing in a spot with a particularly slow connection?

We bet that if it moves just a bit, in either direction, it’ll clear right up. Or, it can stay in the downloading phase where annoying humans can’t bother it.

We can practically hear this dog screaming, “Look, mom! I’m doing it!” Clearly, this pup is trying to go viral, as so many adorable pets have done before. There’s Grumpy Cat, Kabosu (known as the famous “Dog” meme), and now we have Dancing Pup.

This cute canine knows that posing with a cool statue is a surefire way to internet fame. Hopefully, he’ll still remember his loving owners, who took this photo, after he becomes a meme.

Holidays aren’t exactly a one-size-fits-all thing. Some people love the bright lights, the merriment, the songs, and the overall cheer in the air. Others, however, may prefer a little less color, a lot less noise, and a bit of existential crisis to go with their holidays.

Santa seems to be a pretty understanding guy who just wants everyone to have a wonderful Christmas. So, he’s doing Christmas on this girl’s terms, and it’s going to be a joyously morbid occasion!

Whoever is driving this car clearly has their priorities straight! We’re sure the woman in the backseat is lovely and all, but no one can compete with an adorable hamster. Moreover, the situation is out of the driver’s control if the hamster called shotgun.

We all know that whoever yells “shotgun” first, gets to sit in the passenger’s seat. Hamster or human, these are the rules of the car. Don’t hate the player – hate the game.

Malicious compliance is when you do exactly what you’re told, purposely misinterpreting the intent of the speaker. For example, if a sign says “parking for green vehicles, only,” and you park your green-colored but gas-guzzling car in that spot.

Another example is when you’re asked to create a horse with puzzle pieces, and you come up with this masterpiece. To be fair, no one can complain as this person did exactly what was requested of them.

This poor dog is just hungry, and he seems a bit unsure as to who his mother is. To be fair, we can understand his confusion, given that this is a human in a cow costume. We, too, are confused as to why anyone would do that.

People dressing up as an animal is a dangerous game, as misunderstandings like this one can happen. Best case scenario? You just end up looking utterly ridiculous.

We have to admit that whoever did this to their car is an absolute genius! If you live somewhere that has severely cold winters, then you understand what a useful life hack this is.

The last thing you need is for your hands to feel like they’re grabbing icicles every time you need to use the stick shift. Well, this person has found the perfect solution, and it’s equal parts practical and adorable!

A lot of old-school fashion is making a comeback right now. Scrunchies, fanny packs, and loose-fitting pants, are all styles that were popular in the ‘80s and ‘90s but are now being worn by Gen Z (and some Millennials that are trying too hard to hold onto their youth).

Well, this guy wants to bring old-school phones back into style, and we actually think it’s a good idea! At least with old-fashioned phones, we knew if people were talking to us or were just on a call.

It seems that the hunter has finally become the hunted. It looks to us like this bird baited the cat into the cage, luring the kitty into thinking that he’d finally be able to catch his nemesis. Once the cage was opened, the bird escaped and got the cat to go in.

That’s one intelligent animal! The only question that’s left is, how long will the bird keep this poor cat captive? Can he at least get out early for good behavior? Or opt for community service?

We all know that we’re not supposed to waste food. Well, this person didn’t want to break that rule, but they also didn’t want to eat their noodles. So, they found a perfect solution. A new scarf certainly isn’t a waste, after all!

We know we’re not meant to play with our food, either. But is it really considered “playing” if you’re creating a work of art? We think that this diner found the perfect loophole!

We’ve all seen those malls that have chairs and sometimes video games, set up for husbands who are waiting for their wives to finish shopping. Well, what about those people who have to wait for ages for their companion to finish using the restroom?

Or women who have to wait in endless lines for their turn to use the restroom? This public bathroom seems to have found the perfect solution: a game of chess!

At some point, whoever decided to name a pizza place Dominos must’ve known that something like this would happen. In fact, it seems as if all the moves that led up to this moment were done intentionally, just for the sake of this perfect photo.

Sometimes, things really do work out just the way they’re meant to. Even the biggest skeptic can enjoy the miracle that is this picture of Dominos falling over like dominoes.

This man knows his rights, and he has the right to bear condiments! There’s absolutely no way that this person is going to let anyone take his tabasco away from him! What if he has to defend himself against the prospect of eating bland food?

Sure, his kids could get hurt if they get some tabasco in their eyes. But don’t worry, this guy keeps his tabasco safe and out of reach! Let’s just hope that he’s got the safety cap on.

It seems that Harry Potter has been expelled from the wizarding world and has rejoined muggle society. Not wanting to part from his beloved broomstick, he’s found a new way to use his trusted ride. After all, electric scooters are all the rage in the muggle community.

We non-wizard folk have taken a children’s toy and turned it into a socially acceptable way to get to work. So why shouldn’t The Boy Who Lived repurpose his broomstick in the same way?

Day 100: they still haven’t noticed. This cat seems to have found her family, as she’s convinced that the world of stuffed animals is where she fits in. To be fair, she’s really not wrong!

All four creatures in this image are cute, soft, cuddly, and worthy of being petted. The only difference is that this kitty may scratch you if you get too close. If any of the real stuffed animals scratch you, it may be time to call an exorcist.

We’ve all heard the saying that walls have ears, but it turns out that’s not all! The walls of this building even seem to have eyes!

It’s a clever design; every time the window moves, it looks like the ‘eyes’ of the building are following along. This would be a great place to decorate as a haunted house for Halloween night.

There’s a solution to all of life’s problems, whether big or small, emotional or physical. If you think hard enough, you might find a way to tackle any issue.

After all, this person managed to engineer an entire side mirror to watch the road. It’s always better to get your car fixed rather than resort to such tactics, but we have to give him some props for this improvisation.

Before GPS and Google Maps guided you around town, paper maps were the hope for all lost and forgetful souls.

You might find paper maps boring, but this photo puts that thought to rest. After all, it’s not just a map but a map that, like it, has leaped right off an episode on Cartoon Network.

There’s a famous shot in every movie featuring a bike and a dude or a lady. The quintessential first shot to introduce the character, or to establish the rock attitude, is an easy one to spot.

It starts with a shot of the leg of the rider getting down the bike. This photo is the perfect example of that shot. Instead, it’s not a woman getting off the bike, but a chick. It’s the same, but different.

No movie has created a terror so wide with just its opening intro as the movie Jaws. When the film was first released, a lot fewer people ventured into the ocean that year.

But these days, people are very adventurous and ready to look down on fear at its root. This is evidenced by the fact that these people think the best place to see Jaws is in the ocean.
