This Guy Keeps Trolling The Government With His Driving Licence Photos, And The Results Are Hilarious

Comedian Jono Zalay and his family have developed the awesome tradition of lightly trolling the government over the years, by presenting themselves on official photo ID’s as ‘characters.’

It all started with his dad. “He would dress up for ID photos and eventually drivers licenses, Jono told Bored Panda. “His past characters included mafia hitman, lumberjack, and civil war general where he shaved his beard into burnsides. He ended up keeping that look for like six months.”

Jono recently took to Twitter to document his latest driver’s license incarnation. “Recently moved back to California and had to do a driver’s license renewal,” he wrote. “This is my story.” Having previously sported an impressive handlebar mustache, cornrows, and a mullet Billy Ray Cyrus would be proud of, he chose to raise the bar this time by going all-out anti-authority.

Doesn’t it give him to bother with the cops though? “It’s never really been anything more than an inconvenience with these driver’s license photos,” he explained. “I’ve been pulled over by cops or extra scrutinized by the TSA, but they mostly just do a double-take and let me go on my way. Because ultimately, it’s my face, and I don’t do anything to alter that. There are as many authorities who have given me a laugh or smile than having given me a stern eye-roll.”

We all know that going to any kind of government department, the DMV especially, pretty much sucks. The queues, the sticky plastic seats, getting passed from line to line as the clerk decides to close just as you finally arrive at the photo booth… the thirst for revenge is somewhat understandable. So why not have a little fun with them as Jono has?

Scroll down to check out Jono’s hilarious drivers licence troll, and click here to support his quest to make his licence plate FARTS69. It’s for a good cause!

    How is he trolling the government? If anyone, he's trolling himself for spending a ton of time and energy on idiotic photos that no one will really see.

    In most states. If your photo ID picture doesn't look like you, you could be held until your identity is confirmed.

    He's just having a bit of fun. People are so negative. Lighten up all you naysayers. What's your damage?

    Do you think he knows the government couldn't care less and he's just trolling himself because he has to show these idiotic pictures anytime he has to produce his ID?

    Okay, my initial reaction to seeing this post was "it's not cool to f*ck with your drivers license. It's there for a reason and you need to make sure you look like yourself." That being said, after looking at the images, you can clearly tell that it is the same guy.

    I was thinking that too. I work at a place that sells alcohol and I see a lot of IDs. A lot of people give me IDs with weird hair, or piercings they no longer have. Or the other way, nicely groomed photos when they now look wild. A persons face is the important part, not hair and jewelry in the ID vs. in person.

    For all of the people who are talking c**p about this guy, I will have you know I laughed so hard until I cried. Maybe I'm easily amused. If so, so what!? It's all done for a laugh. For goodness sakes, lighten up, people!

    In most European countries it is not allowed to have mouth open in the official ID cards so it is streange to see those IDs with mouth open.

    And you're not allowed to smile at all. That's why my resting b***h face ruins every photo ID I have.
