50 Of The Most Amusing And Ridiculous Moments Ever Captured By Google Street View Cameras
Prank videos and hidden camera shows have long revealed the crazy things people do when they think no one is looking. Few types of content have more viral potential than seeing someone get caught in a hilariously compromising position or doing something utterly weird. Authenticity is key here.
If you’ve ever wondered what life is like on the other side of the world or how people act when they don’t know they’re being watched, then Google Street View is your best bet. It’s a treasure trove of hilarious moments captured by Google’s camera cars as they drive through cities worldwide.
Google Street View started in 2007 as the absurd idea to create a 360-degree map of the world using cars equipped with cameras. The tech giant has since captured a significant portion of the Earth’s surface. It’s an incredible tool for visually exploring the world, but it works even better as a gold mine of random moments — and yeah, we’re saying that because we love laughing at other people’s silliness!
While on the clock, Street View drivers have recorded countless people doing the funniest things in public. From random glitches to bizarre stunts, Street View has given us plenty of fodder for a good laugh. Here are some of our favorite funny Google Street View pics, including people who got creative with their wardrobe choices and candid footage of people getting caught off guard.

This Hare Caught On Google Street
MockingbirdTheWolf 2 years ago (edited)
The hare was actually hit by the google maps car, and it died instantly. I know this due to this being shown on a different article years back.

It's actually an art installation, and has been there for over 30 years. Watch Tom Scott's Video on it for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCDIhq9nMBE

I saw an article about this a few months ago. It’s been there for quite a long time and now some jobsworth is going on about lack of planning permission. I’d make them go and discuss it with the other sharks. Killjoy.

It was deliberately installed to annoy the city planners who, bizarrely, had no rules prohibiting the installation of sharks in roofs. Now the city council protect it as a tourist attraction.

The Headington Shark (proper name Untitled 1986) is a rooftop sculpture located at 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford, England, depicting a large shark embedded head-first in the roof of a house. It was protest art, put up without permission, to be symbolic of bombs crashing into buildings. --Wikipedia

Bears know that sockeye salmon spawning season is the best time to go fishing! Lots of salmon in the river, they've turned red and are now easy to see, and they are swimming upstream so are remarkably easy to snatch out of the water!

Wacky Toilet Paper Prank In Wisconsin
Chris Osborn 2 years ago
Very likely "Homecoming" weekend for high school and the annual ritual of toilet papering. Has been going on for years and years. Used to "egg" houses and cars too but that could / would cause quite a bit of damage if not properly and quickly cleaned. I'm not sure if it's just a Wisconsin thing, but I can attest to the fact that it happens here, although I was never personally involved in the act of it. 😇

My wife and I were looking at her parent's former house in Florida and made out a faint image of her dad coming out of the house inside the attached garage. He passed away in 2013, but it warms our heart every time we see it. The folks enjoyed a long, warm, happy retirement. (612 Balboa St, Sebastian FL)

Are you sure you want to leave the address there? I know you say the MIL doesn’t live there anymore, but I reckon it would take me less than 30 mins to find out all your details based on that using open source information.
