32 Hilariously Clever Photographs From Award Winning Photographer Arthur Mebius
Arthur Mebius captures moments through a comedic lens. The best photography award winner creates one frame stories where he seeks to show the "past, present and future" in a single funny photo.
Mebius has worked in photography for over 15 years and has created signature hilarious image plots for advertising agencies large and small. The artist even produces film projects and says he can shoot 25 frames per second when briefed accordingly, "The stories that I like to shoot can be funny, curious, compelling, filled with plot twists or all at once."
When you look at the eclectic portfolio of Mebius, it isn't hard to see why he has been recognized by the likes of D&AD, ADC, Cannes, Epica and the PANL Sony Award. And though his works include quite a lot of photo editing, he still manages to portray the scenarios in a highly believable way. In addition to his commercial advertising gigs, the photographer stays busy with numerous personal projects.

It's from an advert for a pregnancy test. No-one seemed to get that is was supposed to be a joke (when you really really REALLY want to be sure), so was a massive advertising fail.
"This wasn't what I was thinking when they said I could get rock-hard abs."
I laugh so hard on these comments. It is Find your dream bathroom or something like that. My german is not that strong. But here the original ad: http://www.public-heroes.de/de/immowelt/

That's obviously photoshopped - it'd be impossible to get a unicorn into a claw-foot bath.
Getting a unicorn into the tub would be easy. Getting them out of the tub is the difficult part.

Cute, but if horses get water in their ears, they get fungus.:( probably same for unicorns
I'm surprised the creature is still standing on slippery porcelain.

Thank goodness for photoshop so no horse had to endure being hoisted into that tub
"hi, Im Jessika, and welcome to my house, today Im going to show you how to bath the unicorn"
When are people going to learn the unicorns are not horses, but goats?
Unicorns ain't real! Being Absolutely clean isn't real either, you can't sterilize yourself, you need some bacterial fauna on and in your body for its protection against sun rays and other microbes.
I don't know why you were voted down, as this seems the most reasonable interpretation!

"Our other horse is a unicorn. Stacey, come out of the bathroom and bring Majesty with you!"
I was taught in the art school if the audience can't understand the message in the art - it's a fail for the artist. What's the point spreading a message which noone understands. I see this as a desparate and failed attempt to be original or funny.
Whoever wrote the headline needs to learn the difference between vaguely amusing and hilarious. Even vaguely amusing is a stretch.
Glad to know I'm not alone in the land of the lost. Kind of a Norman Rockwell feel but without getting to a point.
Great shots~ Was there a theme to this, tho? As a whole, I mean. I understand each photo is a different message, but was there a general intention? Just wondering.
Meh. Very well executed but cold. I have the impression that the photographer thinks he's incredibly witty when often he's just a bit of an a*s.
#25 has me really stumped. I think I get a lot of them, but some are just up for personal interpretation, I guess. I'm American, so maybe I just think I "get it", cause Americans can't admit they don't get the joke (except for 1 big ugly orange one).
