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.

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.

There must have been bloodshed under the roof, sharks can smell it miles away
If aliens look at google maps for historical accuracy of our species (I know there's a lot of holes in this) we should just accept that we're not going to be remembered correctly.
I think they may have just missed the sharknado that led up to this event. Lol
This was featured on CBC radio several years ago. Neighbours were very upset.
Sharknado WAS based on a true story...what next Pirhannacondas are real?
I thought that was a documentary. Just like Lavalantula.

I remember reading about this, isn't it an art installation or something?
Sharknado a rather rare weather phenomenon can happen anywhere if conditions are right
the people walking don't look disturbed, this must be a normal occurrence
Headington, Oxfordshire. Been there for years, ever since I was a kid. I'm over 40 now.
The whale aimed at the ground and missed. Therefore, the whale is flying.
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
unless you happen to live in that neighborhood, then you do see it every day
Look at the people walking by..."Oh, a shark in the roof...must be Monday."

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!

Very funny but some seem to weird to not be staged...then I Googled where's the Google Streetview Car and PAY DIRT! The actually do list on Google what area and time frame the car will be driving around.
I was wondering how some of these people knew when to pose their stunts! Thanks for the research.

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.
