“Unusual Images”: 30 Of The Most Comically Bizarre Pics Shared By This Facebook Page
It’s that part of the internet again.
You know, the weird part, the side of the internet full of stuff that makes you question the rabbit holes you took to get there, along with life on this planet and human existence as a whole.
Yep, this time this weird side of the internet is seeping into Bored Panda from Facebook. The Unusual Pics page shares pics of exactly that, unusual things that make folks raise more questions than they can manage to get answers to.

Load More Replies...There ain’t much that we can dig out about Unusual Pics, other than it’s your run-of-the-mill meme page with an ambiguous past and an even more ambiguous future as it hasn’t been active in over a year at this point.
What we can know is its content: pictures that range from mildly unusual to outright bizarre. On the one end, we have pics of folks projecting a movie onto a cow because of course a tree isn’t gonna cut it and this lad trolling a trio of ladies who think they’re all taking a selfie, but he’s just tapping the 5 key to simulate a button press.
But then there’s cursed images like the hard soap dispenser, meat and banana in ketchup dinner, Pikachu on the train, and this questionable idea. Yep, the page does not discriminate and all of it ends up here for your entertainment.
The bigger question here is why does weird stuff gain so much traction online? Well, DigiChefs, a digital marketing agency, discussed the topic and nailed down a number of key elements that make weird stuff online attractive to the general public.
It all ultimately boils down to the agency’s self-proposed Theory of Human Connect—the idea that every successful narrative has an element of surprise, a backstory, and an emotional connection. Things that surface on the internet as viral content essentially have all these. And there’s quite a bit of nuance involved in it too, but this does not deter from the virality. If anything, it probably reinforces it.
Let’s say something is going viral, but the key premise is annoyance. Like the legendary Rebecca Black’s Friday. It had a huge cringe and annoyance factor that people not only had a collective reason to bash and debate, but also the video could have been used to annoy people. And it only made the video even more viral. All because humans were being humans with cringe content.
The Italian Job, I'm sure I can see Noel COWard.
Load More Replies...He looks like Curly!! Can you play the drums? SOITENLY!! Look at the dude's face to the right.
LOL the percussionist on the right looks terrified... like hes the only one to realize this is NOT part of the show and percussionist on the left is actually losing his s**t.
Would you mind explaining why you fly a Russian flag? Or will you move on ignoring the hurt you cause to others by proudly showing the flag of their oppressors?
Load More Replies...Did you see the one in "Restaurant nightmares" that showed a bathroom whose exterior wall was a clear window to the outside?
Load More Replies...Likely a U.A facility. Some places have to watch you go to make sure it's the person's actual urine and they didn't switch it or compromise the sample
This is a trusting UA facility. Years ago (US) when i was on probation the person was in the room close behind you. Not long before my probation was over the UA cups had built in thermometers to make sure your urine was close to body temp.. Too many people making false bladders holding somebody else's clean urine were caught.
Well would ya look at that! A room with a view! Or, should say, a view of a loo!
But the nuance doesn’t stop there. Besides cringe and annoying content irking us something fierce, there is also virality by proxy—if there is an internet trend, there will surely be content that’s trying to jump on the bandwagon and piggyback the OG content to success.
Sometimes it does truly one-up the original content, but it doesn’t have to in order to be viral. Cue all the TikTok dancing and bizarre challenges. It’s that fear of missing out that keeps people reinforcing the vicious circle of content that wouldn’t otherwise be viral if not for X video or X tweet or whatever.
Lastly, it’s word of mouth that helps viral content spread. Hey, have you seen the video of that one dude doing something surprisingly stupid as a challenge? No? Here. Bam. Instant views.
It looks even more amazing inside, you open the door and the porch is like the inside of a carriage, with seats both sides. The restaurant on one side of the pub is a Spanish galleon, the bar on the other side has farm machinery for tables, and little nooks and crannies everywhere. I always recommend people visit it (The Highwayman, Sourton),if they go to Dartmoor.
Well, when ya can't have an abortion and ya can't get any help to take care of them, drastic measures are called for.
I saw a kid wearing one of these today. First time I'd ever seen such a garment. And now I see one on the internet. Life is wild.
It's a pool float for babies/toddlers not a garment. The kid is wearing the seat part of it on his head.
Load More Replies...Just go aHEAD and LEGO of those bad thoughts.
Load More Replies...I think they are just trying to push their free ear piercing
And you can have an ear piercing after your mineral water, the tattoo shop is around the corner.
" Excuse me sir? I will take a case of your mineral water? " *Embarrassed Cough* " ok here is your ahem- MINERAL WATER"
I like the soaps with the pumps that put out foam. Contrary to some things I've seen on BP, a jar seems to last a good while. I emptied one, and got another out and the pump wouldn't unlock. Assembled wrong, I guess. Took me a lot of brain cells to quit fooling with the bad pump, quit thinking about taking the bad one back, quit thinking about pouring the soap from the bad into the empty one, TO JUST SWAP THE PUMP FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW.
You are not alone. My wife just laughed after watching me fight with bottle 2, reading the instructions, unscrewing both caps and about to pour before it finally dawned on me. "Why did you let me do all of that?" "I really wanted to see how far you would go, and it was funny."
Load More Replies...My mother-in-law would stare at that for 20 minutes before she would finally come out of my guest bathroom and ask me how to work it.
More or less the same factors apply with things like weird stock photos. Only the surprise part here is the weird part because it stands out.
“Weird sells, weirdly” is well put by Shutterstock Content Strategist Sarah Lysecki. “[Clients] told us that uniqueness in a photo can be more important than its technical quality. People who are buying photos have highly specific needs and will often opt for something that stands out from the crowd over one that is high quality, but otherwise standard.”
In other words, folks online have seen it all. Now they want to see what they haven’t yet. There is always the question forced by critical thinking—where would you ever use weird stock footage?—but remember, this is the internet, nothing goes to waste. Especially if there’s prime stock real estate to be reposted for your entertainment.
The chairs were probably left in the sun and became too hot to sit on so they threw them in the pool to cool them down, would do the same
Ha ha yes - the video for "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" 😃
Load More Replies...When I was growing up in Florida, we'd throw the outdoor furniture into the pool to sink in there, so it wouldn't be grabbed and blown around, if a hurricane was coming.
Dammit we shouldn't have got drunk and threw all the furniture in the pool...now we are too hungover to retrieve it and must bake on the ground.
I also make underground rooms in my house. They usually cave in when the creeper pays a visit :(
Load More Replies...Quick reverse image search. These were abandoned manholes in Milan that were decorated by an artist. Search: Milan abandoned manholes
Yeah ... What the actual f**k is up with those?!
Load More Replies...My 8yo says "That's where he keeps his bananas!" and I don't think she's wrong.
Custom Ghanian maker? https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2013/feb/07/ghana-coffins-in-pictures
Cute truck model, really well done. And those ships are also nice. XD
Laugh all you want but entering through the gate takes you to another dimension.
Very important. The gate is there for a reason, I just cannot remember which.
Totally adds like 10hp, bro AND distracts from the bad paint for a second or two.
I should get shoes like lol { "Oligodactyly " Mine is 3 toes on both feet, which kinda look like the big toe but are normal otherwise, this was a birth defect and you really can't tell I have only 3/6 toes when I wear shoes or socks}
"Acute electrical sense" is the translation online, but translators can be a bit wonky.
If so, it could be a warning not to bring strong electric fields near fish. Many fish do have an electrical sense.
Load More Replies...No, no, no! For the last time, it's Snap! Krackle! Pop! From the top, everybody.
Load More Replies...I dunno what this "敏銳電感" meant even though I'm a native speaker of Mandarin 🤔
I googled, they're traditional characters. "敏銳電感" becomes “敏锐电感” and at least from my very limited mandarin it seems to be saying stinging electricity.
Load More Replies...Hedgehog, what's the real translation? I think "敏銳電感" translates to something like stinging electricity??? I'm probably wrong though since they look like traditional characters.
Instead of the electric shock that turns you into a pile of ashes
In Chinese it mimics the sound of someone crying (Wū x3) if you change the accent slightly
Load More Replies...This is a picture of me and I don't like it
Load More Replies...Perfect for if you're already tan but you need to get your pastey white legs to match!
Makes absolute sense if you fancy a warm, cosy sleep, but burn easily.
As someone who for their school's crazy sock day actually did this... I can tell you that they are very sweaty.
Load More Replies...Several possibilities. Can't wear shoes because they hurt too much. Recovering after foot surgery. Victim of a shoe thief.
Shoes required... Doesn't say what the shoes gotta be made out of...
What if there was like, soggy food or something . . . ?
Load More Replies...I've seen these in real life. No f-ing way! I think designers just like to make fun of rich people by tricking them into wearing stupid stuff - kind of like the Emperor's New Clothes. Always reminds me of the I Love Lucy where the husbands bought the wives actual sack-cloths.
Load More Replies...Ok, this "encasing objects in resin" thing has gone too far. Someones gotta say it,
Is it all glass, all water, or glass filled with water? Must know, confuse
Someone on the news today was arrested and jailed for taking pictures of people unaware. This is NOT a thing to do in a polite society.
Load More Replies...Child is standing on top of the changing table in the stall.
Load More Replies...A comfort poop for all the readers on the job! Please keep your phone/book away from this contraption due to unknown splash back people. Hence the seat is always down on flushing!
Load More Replies...They should put these in movie theaters so you don't have to get up and go in the middle of the movie...
Might be good for old people who have trouble standing up from a seat? Like those recliners that basically go vertical to get them out of the chair.
Just how high or pregnant was that person who created this ungodly (and also seemingly unseasoned) monstrosity?
I’m not sure if I drank enough alcohol to understand this
Load More Replies...Steaming pizza is a great way to reheat day-old pizza. This could be good. It all depends on how deep that water is.
Yeah that's Wilson alright. I wonder what they've been up to.
Load More Replies...I read this in the mortal Kombat voice for some reason
Load More Replies...I don't get it. Why do so many people object to eating mayonnaise? I'd eat mayonnaise rather than vanilla pudding any day. Even Garfield loves to eat mayonnaise, he says that a good salad is "one lettuce leaf and a quart of mayonnaise".
Load More Replies...Okkk that's enough internet for one day folks!! I'll be heading down to the mud in my pond if you need anything.
nice stuff. found something really interesting.\ https://www.globalbusinssworld.com/
