50 Times Google Street View Caught Pure Comedy Gold In Real Life
One marvel of the 21st century is that anyone with an internet connection and device newer than the year 2000 can at any point pull up satellite imagery of the entire world. Even more, if the area is mapped, you can even see the “street level” view of much of the world. However, that comes with the reality that humans are sometimes just doing very strange things.
We’ve gathered some of the most random, chaotic and hilarious moments inadvertently captured by Google Street View cars. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts, experiences and observations in the comments below.

At Least They Had The Decency To Censor The Legs

I love everything about this scene, from the flowery tablecloth, to the Pink flamingos to the banana that a horse faced guy or a guy wearing a horse mask can't eat, it's a great photo.

Another fantastic posed group shot, how do people know the Google Street view vehicle is coming around so they can organize to all have these masks and be ready at the same time? This is great? People are so funny.

Penguin And Penny Farthing
Among our favourites and definitely one of the strangest Google Street Views we’ve seen is this Penguin riding on the back of a Penny Farthing bike. The passenger penguin has long moved on, but you can see the site of its escapades below.

Google caught this little fellow in the village of Olszowice in Poland in 2013. More than a decade later, the bunny is still there.

I would be disappointed if that were my cat and he was blurred out. I want to see a cat!

As a Dutch man I can confirm this is how we park over here in the Netherlands. Gravity is outlawed since 1874

Someone in California saw the Google camera go by, draped themselves in seaweed and pulled a photo up? Hilarious!!!!

Fairy Tale In Uxbridge
In what looks like a scene straight from Disney, a carriage ride is adding a bit of magic to the day – except for those stuck behind in traffic, that is. You can see the street below, but the carriage has vanished, presumably by the wave of a wand.

When You Realize That You're Going To Be On Google Street View But You Have Nothing Funny Planned
Traveling Lady Railfan 1 year ago
That would be me, now that I've seen what other people have done, I feel like I should always be traveling with a face mask or funny prop just in case I see the Google mobile.

Humans Out Of Water
Traveling Lady Railfan 1 year ago
There's either an awful lot of dedication to have costumes and props at the ready, able to at a moment's notice grab a friend or a few folk and change and pose for a photo, or else people are just doing crazy things all the time in the world....

Want to know if they got the car out of the ditch? We’ll have to wait for the Google car’s next trip. As far as Street View is concerned, it’s still there.

Young Man “Attacks” His Friend With Hammer
Over the summer, I went to the very North of the Isle of Lewis on a field trip to map the geology there with a close friend of mine. The google street view car went past. We had a geological hammer. The following masterpiece, now on google street view, was the result

Good thing they were smiling in the second photo, you don't want any policeman knocking on your door wondering what the heck's going on?

Speed Demon
Most people don’t record their own traffic infractions, but this is no ordinary vehicle. The Street Car’s speed is captured while driving into what looks suspiciously like a 30mph zone. Tsk tsk, Google.

That's kinda tame for a Japanese building- look out for the big crabs on various restaurants, Godzilla in Shinjuku and giant frog in Kobe.

If you dread going to the dentist, how about a check-up while you’re on the move? This dentist chair is being transported through the streets by bike in Dhaka.

Bow And Arrow
You’ve probably seen this trick on a talent show before, but it usually comes with a ‘don’t try this at home’ warning! Hopefully the man with the apple on his head came out of it unscathed.

What do you think ?
Will Cable 1 year ago
I may have missed it somewhere but is there a site that says where and when the Google Street View vehicles will be in the vicinity?
Traveling Lady Railfan 1 year ago
That's what I was wondering also, some of the shots like the guy who stuck a construction cone on his head, they must have seen it coming and posed because they only had a few seconds to do something silly, but other ones? With costumes and props and multiple people? That takes a lot of dedication to be prepared for, I would like to think they had some kind of advanced warning, and they're not actually just running around like this everyday hoping that a Google vehicle will be driving by LOL
