A photograph captures freezes a single frame in every 5,184,000 frames we experience every day. However, some of the most hilarious or most exhilarating moments pass by quicker than a blink of an eye, and without a picture, nobody will believe you. So, when someone does manage to capture an image of the perfect moment, you\u2019ll be glad that person was there with a camera on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The flying cork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the funniest things in the world is seeing someone you love and care about get doinked in the head. It\u2019s a million times more hilarious when it\u2019s a cork going a million miles an hour right at your best bud\u2019s forehead. The lady in yellow seems to be totally unaware of the situation, but we can only assume that she must\u2019ve laughed her butt off at her lover\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Forceful sharing is somewhat caring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Seagulls are the most inconsiderate animals on the planet. You\u2019re lucky if they only grab a fry or two, but if they take a lick out of an ice cream cone? Well, now you\u2019ve passed the line, buddy. Sadly, seagulls can fly away, but not before you snatch a picture munching on your ice cream. We\u2019re reporting you to the beach cops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Worse than dropping the ball<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Having a fun uncle is one of the best things in the world. They\u2019ll play tag with you, bring you gifts, and sneak you a couple of extra treats, just because. You might even be lucky enough to ride on the shoulders of your uncle from time to time. And being the fun guy that he is, he might even carry you and your siblings at the same time. At least, it was <\/em>fun until you come tumbling down from his shoulders. Then it\u2019s hi-larious<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Squishy-face seal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all run into glass at least once in our lifetime, so we totally understand the embarrassment that this seal is going through. However, it must be infinitely worse for this poor little fella since all eyes (and at least one camera lens) was on him. Who knew that seals were so squishy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Butter-claws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here, we see nature in all of its glory. Three happy baby owls sitting atop a tree branch, just enjoying life and basking in the setting sun. That is, until one of the trio decided to go tumbling downward. It looks like the little tyke managed to grab hold of the branch before plunging head-first into the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Nice faux-hawk, buddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d love to sport an outrageous haircut, but we care too much about what people think. But unlike us, this gentleman said, \u201cScrew that!\u201d and got a mohawk. We envy you, traveler. You are a king among\u2026 Wait, is that a mountain in the background? Is that just a pillar popping out from the center of his head? Never mind, then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Someone\u2019s gonna be mad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Going to a concert is all fun and games until someone decides to climb on someone else\u2019s shoulders. Then it\u2019s horrible for the people behind this impromptu totem pole who can\u2019t see a thing. However, someone decided to take matters into their own hands and toss a container of liquid right at the young lady\u2019s head. For her sake, we pray that that\u2019s just water and not\u2026 something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Goofy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can tell that the photographer didn\u2019t mean to catch an image of the derpiest pupper in the world. Just look at the dog\u2019s face and tell us that isn\u2019t the goofiest expression you\u2019ve ever seen. How in the heck did that dog end up in that weird position? That\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t run on mud, doggo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Spilling the beans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you get invited to a party, you\u2019re probably asked to bring at least one dish from home. In this case, one guy decided to whip up a batch of his famous bean dip. For some reason, he and the photographer decided to immortalize this bean-dip-filled moment by snapping a shot of the chef and his creation. Sadly, only the floor got a taste of the man\u2019s famous party dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. That horse ain\u2019t havin\u2019 none of it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing about horsies. They don\u2019t particularly care for their rider, especially if it\u2019s multiple people sitting on its back without stirrups. Perhaps this horse was having a bad day and decided to take matters into its own hooves. Thankfully, the kids weren\u2019t hurt too bad, and the man in the white cap got the perfect image for his Facebook profile pic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Too much to take in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being a bride\u2019s maid can be even more stressful than being the bride. First, you have to make sure everything runs smoothly when you can bet that 99% of the wedding plans will fall through. Apparently, the stress got to this poor maid (the bride\u2019s sister), and she decided to do a faceplant right in the middle of the ceremony. We hope the bride didn\u2019t think her sister was trying to steal the show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. What you pointing at, lady?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wild ducks are not <\/em>peaceful creatures. Sure, they look playful, and they won\u2019t mind if you toss them a slice of bread or two. However, if you point at them, well, that\u2019s just asking for trouble. At the moment this picture was taken, she didn\u2019t know she was in the vicinity of a pissed-off duck. Hopefully, she learned her lesson about rudely pointing at others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Big oof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing about fire and hair. They shouldn\u2019t be within a foot of each other. Singed hair can be pretty bad, and it releases a foul odor that will clear out a room. This woman was celebrating her birthday at the office, and while blowing her candles out, her hair got a bit too close to the candle\u2019s flame. This was taken a split second before everyone when scrambling for the fire extinguisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Bird eclipse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Snapping the perfect shot takes skill, god-like reflexes, and an awesome camera. Or, you can just point the lens at the sun and hope for the best. Apparently, that\u2019s what this photographer did, and they received one of the best pictures in the world. You\u2019ve heard of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses, but what about bird eclipses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

15. Stay away from the splash zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick tip. If you\u2019re tired of speaking with someone, you can make your exit by jumping into a pool. Sure, people will question your sanity, but they\u2019ll do it behind your back, so you don\u2019t have to interact with them any longer. What makes this picture so great is that nobody has reacted to the unnatural angle at which the woman is standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16. One treat to rule them all<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are only so many things in life that can grab our full, undivided attention. For this good boi, it\u2019s an airborne treat. Best of all, despite the dog\u2019s full concentration on the snack, it still ended up doinking its forehead. We would pay to see the dog\u2019s confused reaction right after being smacked in the face by the treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

17. Moments before snack time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know what this bird is, it\u2019s a double-crested cormorant. You can tell by its dual crests or something. We\u2019re not exactly bird experts, but what we do know is that this particular bird species eats fish. Sorry, little fish buddy, but you\u2019re about to a snack. If it\u2019s any consolation, you probably didn\u2019t taste that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

18. And that\u2019s when he realized he messed up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re no Tony Hawk, but we think<\/em> you score points by staying on top of your skateboard. Or maybe you get style points for waving to the audience right before wiping out. It\u2019s not exactly a good idea to go skating without at least a helmet. This guy probably learned that the hard, concussive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

19. Striking gold lightning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that to capture the perfect image of lightning, your camera needs to capture at least 7,000 FPS? Judging by the quality of this picture, this might not be the most technologically advanced camera on the planet, which is what makes this picture so impressive. Imagine that you\u2019re snapping an image of the forest across the stream only to get a picture of lightning striking the earth. That\u2019s luck times infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

20. Nature is pretty awesome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For this fish, things probably didn\u2019t turn out as planned. But we gotta admit that this fish\u2019s sacrifice helped make this picture even more awesome. Just look at the color contrasts between this bird and the surrounding water. Even the droplets of the splash are breathtaking! Nature can be cruel sometimes, but at least it\u2019s awesome-looking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

21. I\u2019ll take that!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The story behind this photograph is that this girl was trying to toss a couple of fish into a seal\u2019s pen. However, one dubious bird wasn\u2019t going to let the seal be happy, so it decided to grab some lunch right out of the innocent girl\u2019s hand. Sorry, seal, but it\u2019s a bird-eat-fish world, and sometimes you need to be more proactive to get what you want. Next time, try chasing the girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

22. Who has the more luscious mane?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t know why animals fight each other, but we\u2019re absolutely certain that these horses are duking it out to see who has the more luscious mane. On the left-hand side, we have a tan horse sporting a wild, mud-filled mane, while on our right is a dark-brown horse sporting a similarly disheveled mane. Who won this fight? You decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

23. A total plane eclipse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You saw the bird eclipse earlier, but have you ever seen a plane eclipse? Maybe the photographer realized that the plane was headed straight past the sun. But the slight rainbow ring around the plane makes this photograph absolutely stunning. Maybe the plane was full of leprechauns looking for their pot of gold. If it was, they should ask this photographer because they struck gold with this awesome shot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

24. Whatcha got there? A camera?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dogs are called man\u2019s best friend for a very good reason. They\u2019re our best friends! Anything we do can amaze your dog to no end, even snapping a picture of a lake. This pupper wanted to see what all the hubbub was about and decided to accidentally photobomb the shot. Or maybe it was seeking attention from the owner who was transfixed on something in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

25. Moments before disaster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They say that kids falling down is funny only if you\u2019re not a parent. That\u2019s why we think this picture is absolutely hilarious! What, is she trying to do no-leg pushups or something? Or maybe she\u2019s a professional breakdancer who decided to bust out some wicked moves on the Astroturf. We know none of these things is true, but without any context, our guess is as good as yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

26. He\u2019s a goner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, you might not know why this dog seems all worked up. Upon closer inspection, you\u2019ll see a bee or a fly just inches away from its jaws. Maybe this particular bug was flying a little too close to the dog\u2019s ears, or maybe it left an itchy bump on the dog\u2019s butt. Whatever the case, we can guarantee you that the bug is no more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

27. Ooh, a penny!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have another of skateboarders living life to the fullest. The road seems pretty smooth, which is we\u2019re surprised the guy on the right decided to do a faceplant on the asphalt. By the looks of things, he doesn\u2019t appear to be wearing any headgear. He\u2019ll probably need to wear something after this harsh fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

28. You done messed up big time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can only push a person so far before their patience runs thin. After that, you\u2019re probably in for a world of pain. That\u2019s what this seagull learned by pestering this woman. The seagull was just following its instincts (stealing food instead of paying for it like a normal member of society), and this woman wasn\u2019t going to take it. This just goes to show that if you do the crime, you\u2019ll end up throttled by a middle-aged woman in sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

29. Surface tension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get one thing clear. This picture is probably the best one of nature that we\u2019ve ever seen, period. If you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, a particularly fuzzy orca is resurfacing but hasn\u2019t entirely broken the water\u2019s surface tension. This picture also looks impossibly symmetrical, which isn\u2019t what you\u2019d typically find in nature photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

30. The hotdog that got away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once again, we have a seagull that just doesn\u2019t know how to stop breaking the law. The worst thing about seagulls is that they don\u2019t discriminate. Whether you\u2019re a child or a grownup, if you have food, the seagull is going to try to nab it from you. And that\u2019s exactly what happened in this picture. You can see the final couple of bites of a hotdog hanging from the seagull\u2019s beak. Jerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

31. The patriotic bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the purposes of airshows, you ask? It\u2019s mainly to showcase awesome developments in aviation technology, but airshows are also great for bringing communities together and shouting \u201cU.S.A.!\u201d at the top of your lungs. This bird was probably feeling particularly patriotic that day and decided to fly alongside fancy jets. In reality, this is just a well-timed photograph, but hey, who says birds aren\u2019t allowed to show their patriotic side on occasion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

32. Don\u2019t move a muscle!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting yelled at by your drill sergeant can be demoralizing, or so we heard. We\u2019ve never been in the army. But we do know that if your sergeant tells you to sit down, shut up, and don\u2019t move a muscle, you better do all of those things without complaint. Here, we see a batch of new recruits taking a sprinkler right in the kisser. Best of all, the drill sergeant looks like he didn\u2019t miss a beat while delivering his harsh-worded speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

33. Kaboom!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Accidents can happen at any time, even if you train for weeks on end. This just goes to show that even if you plan everything out, things might not go your way. In this picture, we can see a racecar spontaneously combusting on the track. It looks like the car went kaboom right as the light turned green. It\u2019s pretty sad that the race ended before it started but better sooner than later (we think?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

34. You can hear the clunk from here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here, we see two girls attempting to fuse into one. Actually, it\u2019s a picture of two girls jumping over a hole without coordinating their plans with the other. What ended up happening is that they collided in midair and probably landed inside of the hole a few seconds afterward. Do you think they learned a lesson here? Maybe, maybe. We probably wouldn\u2019t at that age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

35. Yet another blurry image of Birdfoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You know who Bigfoot is, right? That mythical creature that loves to frolic in open, out-of-focus fields (thanks, Futurama!). Well, you probably haven\u2019t heard of his pet bird, Birdfoot, who also enjoys taking pictures, provided that the images come out as blurry as possible. In truth, this birdwatcher pressed the camera button a millisecond too late, and the bird managed to escape from the frame. Better luck next time, dear birdwatcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

36. Bye-bye, cap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Countless people have taken pictures atop the Golden Gate Bridge. It\u2019s a pretty romantic scene if you\u2019re there with your SO but only if they\u2019re focused on the lovely moment. In this picture, we see a man focused on more pressing matters. A gust of wind has apparently snatched the crap right off of his noggin and sent it to the cold abyss down below. Judging by the black-and-orange theme, he appears to be an SF Giants fan. Go Giants! They\u2019re an NBA team, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

37. He probably needs those to find his way down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is an incredibly unfortunate yet extremely hilarious picture. We\u2019re not talking about the rock climber\u2014you need skills and core strength to scale steep cliffs\u2014but rather the fact that his spectacles are making a beeline toward the safety of the ground. He probably didn\u2019t his reading glasses to climb up the cliff, but if there were crude caveman writings on the wall, he wouldn\u2019t be able to see them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
