Tumblr is notorious for showcasing some of the trendiest
pictures on the Internet. From black and white photos of a girl blowing smoke
at the camera to the bright colors of various flowers, Tumblr is easily one of
the most sophisticated, mysterious, and often intimidating social media sites
out there. There are however, some of the funniest posts I have ever come
across floating around Tumblr. Thus, I present 7 Tumblr posts that make me
laugh out loud every time I read them and send them to my friends.
1. Sideview of a giraffe
This post cracks me up every time I look at for two reasons: 1) "prancing through nature" and 2) the actual picture of the giraffe prancing through nature. It's just so funny to me because the word prancing makes me imagine a gazelle hopping through the woods, but then seeing and imagining the giraffe prancing around without arms and bopping everywhere just makes me laugh so hard.
2. Pizza Guys
When I first read this post, I just imagined that scene on Spongebob where he's holding the pizza and singing the Krusty Krab pizza song and Squidward is just staring at him like "wtf are you doing", you know:
And well, I died.3. Staples
This post was especially funny because I just imagined this kid looking his teacher dead straight in the face and not even flinching when he staples his hand. You think school is bad and boring and you'd rather be anywhere else, but you know this kid meant it.4. Drawing
I don't know what it is about this post that is so hysterical to me; maybe it's how the artist took "draw party hats/wings and a drumstick" literally, or the random "Derp" escaping from the finished product's mouth or the comment at the bottom that says, "I think it's beautiful." I imagine the artist drawing the picture going along thinking, "Dang, I'm so good." Then they look at the final picture and say, "Shoot, I think I did it wrong." So they show it to their friend and the friend responds by lightly touching the picture and whispering, "I think it's beautiful," and the image of that just makes me laugh so hard.
5. #beachfail
Okay, so technically this isn't from Tumblr, but it's still funny because we've all been there--we all have that small fear of standing among the waves and experiencing that horrifying feeling of something rubbing up against our legs. Except in this case, it's not a string of seaweed or even a fish, it's a kid that has just been punted across the beach because of this guy's reflex.
6. Bumper stickers
Alright so there's a lot of mean words in this post, but still I think it speaks for itself.
7. Lizard
Those of you who know me know that I have a paralyzing fear of lizards, so it's a little weird that I would choose this, but IT'S SO FUNNY. When I first saw this post, I laughed so hard I actually ruined my makeup. See evidence below:
Can you just imagine for a second? This little girl is in 5th grade and she introduces herself to another girl in her class. The girl responds, "Oh Liz, that's a pretty name, is it short for Elizabeth?" and Liz responds, "No. It's short for Lizard, yeah I've asked and apparently my parents don't hate me." I just--God it's just so funny. "Hi my name is FREAKING LIZARD."
Okay, so yes, social media can be a place to show off how trendy you are at a music festival or how much fun you and your friends had at some party, but it can also serve to make you laugh so hard you develop a 6 pack. Even re-reading these posts has me in tears.
