Instagram might have you believing that only the most beautiful, perfectly posed shots are worthy of sharing.
But, it turns out that spending hours on your hair and makeup, or doing the same yoga pose that a million other people have already done, isn’t what gets people talking.
This 75 perfectly timed photos prove that being in the right place at the right time is what it really takes to make people go “wow!”
1) “Timing is everything.”
This “enlightened dandelion” got woke AF just in time to become one with the universe! Ahhh, sweet moments of sunshine and bliss just can’t get any better than this.
@ElSwedishIntern:
“More like: Alignment is everything.”
@ToastyBagel:
“…also camera position, location, angle, f-stop and lens choice.”
This little guy was just an ordinary field mouse until he started trippin’ on that enlightened dandelion he ate. Now he can levitate and see things, like the hot lava bubbling up from underneath his feet!
@Llandryn:
“Mighty Mouse! He needs a little cape.”
@dtmc:
“Someone photoshop him into a speeder bike in the Endor forest please.”
Anyone here remember Falkor, the flying cotton candy luck dragon doggo from
The Neverending Story? Well, apparently the movie was inspired by real life events!
4) “They’ll never find me here”
Hey look, it’s a Snapchat filters for kitties! It makes them look so adorable and sweet, but that illusion will fade as soon as the can of tuna and catnip snacks run out.
@jesselaflair:
“Its just 2D tailed.”
@blaguet:
“How long you think it took to get that photo?”
@D0gskull:
“Not long. All he had to do was cut off his cat’s tail and glue it to the back of the frame.”
Yep, the movie is as bad as it sounds. Turns out that no one wanted to watch a film about a big, middle-aged lizard killing off desperate housewives with his stinky halitosis super power, so it went straight to DVD after only 2 weeks.
6) “The beauty of nature.”
I hereby declare myself king of these lands. Why? Well, because my thingy is way bigger than your thingy!
@MelissaWyatt:
“Spirit of the Forest from Princess Mononoke!”
Next up on Chef Wong’s
Mystical, Magical and Monstrous Street Food: it’s revenge of the baby dragon meat! Watch as the pissed of fire elemental curses the celebrity chef with 1-star Yelp reviews and tasteless Americanized stir fry’s before it crosses over to the afterlife.
@SergioRestrepo:
“The spicy spirit of the traditional Chinese food.”
8) “PsBattle: Squirrel trying to catch peanut.”
It may look like this squirrel has just lost his peanut, but you have to look at the deeper meaning here. He’s basically speaking to the anxiety and panic that we all feel right after we accidentally drop our cell phones!
@HaulinOats:
“Or is it performing magic??”
@Kgeezus:
“That’s telekinesis Kyle”
9) Google for real life tweeters
So uh, what does that fancy picture book say about me? TWO INCHES?!! Naw man, that’s a lie, she told me that my beak was at least three!
@Xenophilderdragon:
“Person: it says that you’ll die at 5.”
10) There’s a new god in town
Cross-eyed Bulgarian cave god says: the next one million new devotees who follow me on Instagram will win a first-class trip to take pictures of me in person!
But, for all you infidels and other non-believers: you’ll be put on the first express elevator going down six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six feet to you know where! And don’t bother bringing a jacket, it’s already nice and toasty.
@VeronikaPanova:
“I love Bulgaria!This is called The Eyes of God.”
Now that’s one stinky little face that no one wants to kiss and cuddle up with. But, you can’t exactly throw him in the wash or he’ll disappear into the lost sock vortex!
@Misleadinginformation:
“As a member of PETA I can confirm that this is the leading cause of our protests to date. Please stop socking your cats no matter how cute.”
@ColoradoCastleCo:
“The ears indicate that you will have cat socks for roughly 2 more seconds.”
12) Old school lunar lamp
Who needs electricity when you can just turn on your moon lamp. It’s fast, free, and always guaranteed to be available at erratic times throughout the month!
13) “The view from my apartment the day they moved the Eiffel Tower.”
Breaking news: a downturn in the economy has forced France into auctioning off one of its most iconic landmarks to the highest bidder! Word on the street is that Michael Jackson wants to buy it for a new bungee jumping theme park he’s building in the afterlife.
@ehy1993:
“This is how they get it back and forth between Las Vegas and Paris…right?”
@THE_BIGG_SITT:
“Holy sh!t… Read through all of the comments before I realized that it was just a funny picture, and they weren’t actually moving it. I was like, how have I not heard of this before?”
@CROWS_IN_MY_BALLSACK:
“It’s nice to know there are people in the world who are just as retarded as I am.”
Diagon Alley in Orlando welcomes dragons of all colors, races, and magical abilities! Feel free to breathe out all those chemtrails you inhaled on your travels, take a fiery dump on the Muggle tourists standing below, and scare the bejeezus out anyone who tries to cast a spell on you.
@DizzyDezi:
“I hate when it comes out of both ends.”
15) Snapshot of an ordinary day in Commuterville
The incredible shrinking bowler hat was just trying to distance itself from that man’s fashion disaster of a sweater. Can you really blame it?
@trippinfingers:
“The guy next to him is judging you.”
@sexfart:
“The woman on the left is on her period.”
16) Professor Trelawney glasses
These special edition Professor Trelawney eyeglasses can be yours for the low low price of: 1 blind bat + a pack of bubble gum + a single hair from your chinny chin chin! Just huff and puff and blow yourself a pair of spiffy bubble specs that will make all the Harry Potter nerds in the neighborhood jelly.
17) “That moment when you just give up and don’t care anymore.”
Now here’s a guy who gives zero ducks! Howard the Mallard was in a fowl mood that day, but his plot to end it all was foiled when his wings accidentally started flapping on the way down.
@Trial-by-combat:
“There’s some free bread over that waterfall, you should totally get some” – Malicious Advice Mallard”
@When_Ducks_Attack:
“This is the duck version of a water park ride.”
18) “This man has been making pizzas since 1965 in Brooklyn, NY.”
If you ever suspected there was something magical about New York style pizza, here’s the proof. This guy was already a golden oldie 1965, so how is it that he’s still alive now? NY pizza is anti-aging, that’s how! That’s also why Pizza Rat will never die.
19) “This car is a robot in disguise.”
Whoever said that life isn’t like the movies has never driven a Hyundai Genesis. It’s looks like a regular coupe, but as soon as you turn your back and walk away it transforms into “Simba Deceptive Con.”
20) Falkor as a circus pup
A young Falkor from
The Neverending Story had start from the bottom and work his way up, just like everyone else. Here he can be seen jumping through hoops and practicing for the big day when he could soar through the clouds for real.
@dirtyseaotter:
“Having just knocked his companion, Atreyu, off his back by flying through several narrow rings.”
@starboy_2005:
“Dog gets home, hangs up his coat and flops down on the chair. ‘Honey, you would not believe the hoops they’ve got me jumpin through at work now!'”
21) “The shirts are watching…”
Are you seriously creeped out yet? Just when you thought you were safe from the prying eyes of Illuminati, they had to go and do this.
22) “My laundry has a mascot”
Forget the cute matching mascot – did you notice that industrial-sized
Dexter washing machine its perched on? No wonder he came here to clean his shirts, he got a “cheep” 20% discount after going on a killing spree!
@wampum:
“50% off your next dry cleaning if the mascot sh!ts in your hamper.”
23) “After 128 years the torch finally went out.”
Ha ha, very funny. Which joker blew out Lady Liberty’s candles on her birthday?
@MakingUpAUsernameIsTerrifying:
“I guess Gondor doesn’t need aid anymore.”
@pooplols:
“French are like, “[bleep] that [bleep]. Manufacturers guarantee expired at 100 years.”
24) “Walked into the kitchen to see my cousin in her true form.”
Geez, women are taking their obsession with beauty too far. Some of them want big boobs, others want a big Kim Kardashian butt, but apparently that’s not enough. Now they want four long centaur legs that just won’t stop!
25) “Today I saw a reflection of a vehicle that completes the one next to it.”
Nothing to see here folks, it’s not even real. It’s just another example of a glitch in the Matrix.
@anonymous:
“I’d start running now lest you get caught by Agent Smith.”
@dataeast1:
“Just further proof that all cars look alike nowadays.”
26) Another philosophical question
So, which came first? The sun-eating flower, or the flower-eating sun? That’s just one of many philosophical questions you can ask yourself when you’re trippin’ hard!
27) Down in Alice’s creepy rabbit hole…
Oh my god it finally happened! The cat lady down the street finally became…a cat lady.
28) Crossbreeding gone wrong
Well, the good news is that this little guy can play the part of Rudolph in the Christmas play. The bad news is that he can also play the part of the tree, too.
29) “My friend took a picture of a “levitating” rock pile.”
The next time someone says that you’re as dumb as a rock, thank them. It means you’re evolving!
30) Better put on your gas mask!
Well, there you have it folks – the fart that was felt around the world! And it was probably a little bit stinky, too.
Hey look, it’s a coffee filter doing a flyby of the rainbow. Are the heavens above trying to say that there’s a pot of java waiting for us at the end of the rainbow?
32) Fun, sun, and a little bit of wee
Ahhhh, don’t you love it when you can just dig your toes in the sand and let loose with your friends? It’s enough to make you burst with happiness!
33) “Saw this little guy on my way back from class today”
Is he a flying squirrel in training or a Super Mario Bros fan? Either way, he’s going to quickly discover that blasting off without a helmet is a terrible idea.
34) Poking fun at Julia Louis Dreyfus
Some things never change! Boys will always find a way to find the naughty in everything. And apparently, it’s been going on since at least the Victorian times.
@Treliske:
“This is known as “furtling.” It was a Victorian parlor game to take postcards with a hole in them and then use fingers to make them saucy.”
35) “My friend is a Viking.”
Well, this certainly puts things into perspective. Gimli from
The Lord of the Rings probably wasn’t even a real dwarf! He was just dressing up in Cosplay as a fjork.
36) He does, but Hedwig doesn’t
If you’re going to have a
Harry Potter themed wedding, keep an eye on Hedwig the owl. Who knows what sort of snowy little gifts has planned for the big day!
37) “Already tall (7ft or more) friend accidentally takes optical illusion photo”
Well, this leprechaun definitely oozes rainbows and Lucky Charm marshmallows. But, aren’t they supposed to be a wee bit smaller than that?
@lolindz:
“That seriously confused my brain for a minute.”
@wb14245:
“I figured out he was a wizard right away.”
38) “Hundreds of people dropping Mentos in Diet Coke all at once”
Well, this is quite a confusing little mess! If it weren’t for the title, it’d be easy to think that this was a re-enactment of a bunch of condoms breaking.
@SunfishHero:
“Looks like a crazy mushroom garden. I need to stop taking these mushrooms.”
@haveahappy:
“Enough Aspartame in this picture to give all of imgur cancer.”
39) Highway to pop stardom
Back before Taylor Swift made it big, she was just another country girl trying to make a name for herself. Now that she’s rich and famous, she can afford to have two trucks do all the advertising for her!
I’m going to be an astronaut when I grow up. See look, my pretty little head can even fit into this bubble helmet!
@JasperLloyd:
“Reminds me of times when children do things that makes parents wonder how the hell they managed to do that.”
41) Perfect timing as always
OMG seriously? Don’t you hate it when you show up to a party and there’s always that one tree that
has to be the center of attention?
@glaser209:
“I can tell this is actually Canada because the train is not completely covered in graffiti.”
42) I’ll take just a pinch of that
Optical illusions are always fun to play around with. But, waiting around for the tram full of tiny grains of people to arrive must have been a pretty boring way to spend the afternoon!
43) The mystery has been solved
So that’s where all the dinosaurs disappeared to! They were just going out for a swim and must have gotten lost at sea.
@MarkDavid:
“The ghosts of the dead animals crossing the light…”
44) “Had to do a double-take.”
It’s just daddy “hanging” out with his newborn baby. The cheeky look on his face says he knows that you’ve taken the bait!
@ThCB:
“This photo toes the line with being NSFW.”
@manburpigg:
“I thought it was NSFW because he was breastfeeding.”
45) Don’t give into the puppy smooches!
Ewww! This kid has the right idea in avoiding that icky tongue! We all know that dogs aren’t shy about licking their own butts, among other things.
46) “For the past 10 minutes I’ve been trying to explain to my sister-in-law that it looks like her legs are over her husbands shoulders…she doesn’t see it.”
Well, that’s a novel ideal. Her wedding dress is giving birth to a bunch of feathers she can make into a pillow for their honeymoon.
@TheRoyalMi:
“Clearly you are right, and she is also farting out smoke. IS YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW A SPACE SHIP?!”
Well, women get fake boobs all the time. At least this woman now has an idea of what hers might look like if she chooses to go under the knife.
@Cookie:
“That is just so wrong! LOL!!!”
This may look like a boring picture of a book about beards. But, take a closer look at the redhead in the background, and then look at the book again.
49) A “kind of makes your heart stop” moment
This is a totally stunning shot, but it’s also kind of scary. The last time planes came that close to a building, it ended in tragedy.
@CiaranReilly:
“It was an amazing day, airliners came in over Dublin Bay and barely clipped past the buildings along the Liffey quays.”
50) The good, the bad, and the nutty
It’s a showdown at the picnic table! Can’t you just hear the theme song from every Hollywood western playing in your head right now?
@CyndyGreen:
“Where the Hell is Bullwinkle when I really need him? Give it up Rocky …live to munch another day.”
When Moby Dick died, he wasn’t really dead. He got himself fossilized into stone so he could come back to get his revenge another day.
52) Perverts are everywhere
Geez, sniffing other people’s bums as they walk by is so rude! This giraffe is acting like a wild animal or something.
53) What’s this show called?
Before Netflix, MTV, and even the big three broadcasting networks, people didn’t really have a choice when it came to flipping through the channels. It was either on, or off, and you were lucky if you got to see a pretty beach scene.
It’s a sign! The giant Spongebob Squarepants in the sky has an important message for all of humankind: “Remember, licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets.”
Like my Halloween outfit? This year I’m dressing up as a Minotaur.
I don’t even know what this is supposed to be, and I don’t think it knows either. But it’ll look pretty freaking cool when it grows up and figures that out!
The moon came out just in time for a spectacular air show! It’s making it look like there’s a large dome over the top of the plane.
58) High School yearbook photo
Remember how different you looked in your old high school yearbook photo? Sometimes it even feels like you went through a major transformation!
What a beautiful way to start off the day! It almost looks like a sunny egg yolk in the middle of an egg.
Perfect 10? How about a perfect 8! This guy has a halo framing some other guy’s face.
You can’t really say that doing dishes is no fun when you have an emoji smiling at you from the drain when you’re finished cleaning up. It’s kind of hard to resist that cute little face!
62) What are you lookin’ at?
As if any of us had any doubts that pigeons were a nuisance. This snarky little bully just proves that point!
Apparently those visually expressive bams, pows and zaps from comic books are actually real! But, this one’s a little bit different because it’s screaming “Oh crap, I don’t know how to pronounce ‘quinoa’ out loud.”
64) Kids and kittens are always perfect!
Awww, how adorable. This little guy and his kitten are almost curled up in a Yin and Yang shape.
Well, this situation is totally uncalled for! Picking up your garden gnome by the hair is so not cool.
66) Eenie, meenie, miney, moe
Wow, the internet dating scene sure has changed. Now they’re taking “catfishing” to a whole new level!
67) This is some seriously deep stuff.
What would Sigmund Freud have to say about their shadow selves? Are they so hungry for their mama’s love that they’re eating themselves alive?
68) Don’t call the fire department!
Mother nature is just playing us with a trick of the light. The sun’s rays are hitting the tips of the branches at just the right angle, making it look like they’re on fire. Gorgeous!
69) This disguise isn’t working
It’s totally normal to want to wear a disguise and hide your true self. But, if this silly doggo were to rob a bank, he should probably pick out a mask that doesn’t look exactly like him!
70) “Friend told me my Tree from the Gods picture will be appreciated…”
God says hi. He also says that the burning bush has something to say to you.
@kangar:
“This would be a great cover for one of those Jehovah’s Witness pamphlets.”
71) “Bumblebee carrying the sun”
Being a worker bee is hard work! Not only do they have to collect the honey, but they have to lift up the sun from the horizon every morning so they can see what they’re doing.
72) “Was taking random pictures of my mother and this came out…pretty terrifying.”
How are any of us supposed to sleep tonight? There’s no one any sane person will be able to curl up with sheet after seeing this, and not break out into a sweat.
@zoidbert:
“It’s the new Summer Line for the Dementor/Wraith set, and it looks fabulous.”
@bmacmachine:
“That’s why I always machine dry on low heat with wrinkle release and expecto patronum.”
73) “This guy’s earbuds made a treble clef.”
While everyone else’s earbuds look like tangled up wet noodles, this guy’s buds make him look like an accidental musical savant. Bravo!
It doesn’t matter who was playing who, ’cause this dad was obviously the best catcher of the day! Good thing too, because his kid wasn’t even aware of what was coming his way.
You know what the sunlight shining straight into the toilet means, right? It means there’s a quest down there! Are you brave enough to dive right in and go for the gold?
@anonymous:
“Is your bathroom technically just one giant shower!? That’s amazing.”
@RamsesThePigeon:
“Sure, you could just use the shower to rinse off afterward…”
