Artist Fred Barnard was right on the money when he said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Some of the most attention-grabbing photos are the ones that lack context, just like the ones you’re about to see.
These posts are from a Facebook page simply labeled Oh. All one million followers share a liking for ambiguously humorous images. Describing them in writing is quite challenging, so you’ll have to see for yourself.
Without further ado, here are some of the best pics that may provide today’s free chuckles.

Pasta-tively brilliant marketing!!!! Hope it didn't cost a pretty penne.....

Thats Lake Austin. Divers know the timings of the attacks on screen and randomly pull people under to time the film
I've been to drive-ins before, but never a swim-in.
The biggest, shark size NOPE from me. I was around 9 yrs old when I saw the film and it pretty much ended my love of swimming. I was so scared a shark would be in the swimming pool and also come up the bathtub drain (I switched from baths to showers). It seriously messed me up.
Wimp! I was an older and wiser 11 years old when I first saw JAWS. Horrifying! Scarifying! So much so I just had to see it again. And again. And again (at least a dozen times on the big screen). And then I started playing out the opening scene as Chrissie in the local pools. Still can't swim in water where I can't see what's beneath me, but otherwise I'm still a big fan!

If these images convey an underlying message, photos have immense power. Their ability to evoke emotion without words should not be underestimated.
But what makes a successful photograph? Authenticity is one element, according to celebrity photographer Mark DeLong. It should make the viewer feel like they are in the same space as the still image.
Kinda reminds me of Madness' "One Step Beyond". Cue the Ska Saxophones!
I just want to give her a BIG hug. Come here sweetie...
Load More Replies...I think she wanted to be in the princess dress like the girl behind her
Most of these images are random occurrences from daily life, snapped from a person’s smartphone. They exude a sense of originality, which DeLong says is another trait of a successful photo.
“One of the most effective ways to create a meaningful photographic image is to take a picture of a subject in a way that no one has ever seen before,” he wrote in an article for his website.

What if other dude's drawing is like a stick figure!
Load More Replies...If they're all drawing the person across from them, I'm scared to see who the guy on the left is drawing.
I'm more interested in the MS paint drawing of satan on the left
Nahh that's not satan just one of his henchmen. From what I've learned (from tv and movies so obviously not much lol) satan would be more of a goat head or much scarier than that guy.
Load More Replies...As proof of Barnard’s statement mentioned in the intro, the Washington Post’s director of photography, MaryAnne Golon, once presented a photo story in China without saying a word. As she told Time Magazine, the audience took it all in and “fell quiet in all the right places.”
“After the last frame, we all just beamed at each other. It was so thrilling,” Golon recalled.
It ain't stupid if it works and quite simply I spent tons of money on stuff that didn't work

My little granddaughter would be in 7th heaven if she met this person. Pink is her absolute favourite colour
It’s attacking and will likely kill and eat the fish
Load More Replies...Explanation: Both of these animals are in quite a pickle. Male frogs grip the female in order to fertilise eggs, this is an involuntary reflex called amplexus. Sometimes, this reflex triggers on things that are not female frogs, like rocks and other animals. This frog has had amplexus trigger on this fish; the fish will have trouble swimming due to the extra weight, however, because it is involuntary, this frog is completely unable to let go. It's a bit of a difficult situation to resolve, as nothing can be done until the amplexus resolves and the frog can actually let go.
At the end of the day, a photograph is an immortalized moment—a captured minute that preserves a memory forever. National Geographic’s director of photography, Sarah Leen, said it perfectly: “It can defeat time.”
“Images can keep the memory of a loved one alive, hold a moment in history for future generations, be a witness to tragedy or joy.”
You know her grandchild is just out of the shot and asked her to please take care of it for him.
I mean, it's made of plastic, which is a petroleum product, so... it's literally made of dinosaurs.
Here me out… I think that isa bracchiosaurus. She could be waiting to get brachytherapy (radiation therapy). I swear I wanted to bring a dinosaur when I went, it’s the first thing I thought of when I heard it.
Now, we’d like to hear from you. Which of these photos is the funniest for you? Are there any that stood out for reasons other than humor? Let us know in the comments!
My bits and pieces are already internal, but they just tried to crawl in further
No worries...just take a few steps back. Some will make it, some won't but it's worth the try!
Jeez no. If I was make n walked in and seen them I think I’d urinate all down my trousers lol

Load More Replies...First, there is no blood or any indication of any harm or injury in the image. This is more like an, "I love you... please stay" hold. Second, doggo is super proud the artist captured his likeness so beautifully.
I think that a blender that requires 2 persons to work it may not be all that practical.
My suspicion is this is a staged photograph. It could be the car ran into a post or bollard, and the front of the vehicle crumpled (as it is supposed to do). Someone noticed the dent and realised the wheel of a bicycle could fit in there rather nicely. But this is just what's going on in my head. I have no proof.
I want to know the make/model of the car so as to avoid driving it.
Load More Replies...I had a bike that destroyed the front of a car too - but the bike didn't survive much better. Who made that bike - they should be putting this on their advertising!
It doesn't look like they're in a tent or outside, so no need for a bug tent. Looks like a family bed, and the mom is sleeping under something to keep her from rolling onto her children.

My stepdad makes awesome cookies. He’s a little self conscious so I buy him cool “manly” cookie cutters when I find them - many of which come from the Halloween section. My birthday is in June and he made me a batch of cookies that was gingerbread men with their limbs cut off by gingerbread sharks in creative ways, and he added some creative icing decorating to go with it. He’s like a 6’3 250lb dude and he’’s so good at decorating badass cookies 🥹 it means so much to me!

No one has the heart to tell him he's not really getting his picture taken.
Whatever works. I have red tuck tape holding my broken tail light on my truck .
That bike's so tall you didn't even notice the three other illogically tall bikes.
You're right, I didn't even see it until I read your comment..
Load More Replies...Comming down will always happen one way or the other, but how do you start?
Looks like AI, particularly towards the background - and the other oddly tall bikes. And the man in the red shirt, in front of the one with an A on his back. (Similarly: the man with "writing" on his back.)
That was my first thought too, but I think it's actually the bike known as "Stoopid Tall." There's a video of it, including how he's gets up there and the view from it. Apparently tall bikes are a thing now?
Load More Replies...This gives a whole new fear of falling off the bike and getting back on.

Brings back memories of college, in the (19) 60's. In the dorm, housekeeping was allowed to check for, and confiscate hotplates, used for "illegal" cooking. One could make "iron sandwiches" with 2 slices of bread, some cheese, aluminum foil wrap and an iron.
Not in a badevanne, but in a coffin... you can have light, ventilation, warm plate, phone, TV, -very comfy,
It says no parking it doesn't say no driving through and parking in front of it so in theory it is completely accurate
I knew a place that had doors like this. The glass goes opaque when they're locked!
Even the psychiatric hospital's drŭg rehab ward where I worked didn't have donors like that. And they were doing regular urine drŭg tests there. Someone just went to the bathroom with you on that occasion. And even the surveillance room (for acutely suicidal patients) that has a glas window directly into the nurses station had a normal bathroom door

Load More Replies...This is really old. She was able to save them all by opening the door a little and getting a hand in there.
Been over this before. 1) Get a laundry basket. 2) Line it with a couple of big fluffy bath towels. 3) Hold it up close under the cabinet with one hand. 4) Open the door with the other hand.
Hope they have a lot of friends or really good neighbors because they're definitely going to need help with that one.

This reminds me of a guy (I am sure it was a guy) who somehow landed his car in a tree after plowing through the middle of a roundabout. The police had trouble getting it down unhurt, but maybe they didn't try all that hard.

Obviously not in the USA as OSHA would slap his employeer a huge fine.
It's that old fairy tale about a stack of mattresses - "The Princess and the Pea-brain".
He must have forgotten to slap the stack of mattresses and say, "Welp, that's not going anywhere." If we don't obey the ancient rituals, chaos ensues.

I had a colleague who took his car to a car wash, and after it had finished, opened the sun-roof...just before the driers came back for a final time and swooshed all the water off the roof and into the car. True story.

Load More Replies...Interestingly, porcelain is non-porous and rejects most bacteria. A quick wipe-down will clean most of it, some Lysol spray will fix the rest. The toilet paper, on the other hand, has been sitting there soaking up the stuff flying out of the bowl for hours or days. Much like the "seat protectors" that usually live above the toilet...
I know people that will line the seat with tp if there are no covers but this is nuts. I have an aunt that will not sit on a public toilet, she just doesn't sit all the way down. Don't know how at 83.
Y'all do this and then leave most of it for some hard working minimum wage woman to clean it. Stay home or wear adult diapers if you can't handle public bathrooms. Shameful and wasteful.

This would be wonderful for my son. He loves his shower. When the water is gone get out.
as a man who used to take long showers when i was younger living with my parents i can say he 100% isnt in that shower the whole time its running. he either gets in half way through or gets out halfway.

Are we supposed to think that's her reflection and she photoshopped herself? Because it looks to me the reflection is for the person behind her. If that's the case, what's wrong here?
It's just supposed to be a funny juxtaposition, don't over think it.
