Have you ever been nervous about meeting your favorite celebrity because you thought it would be a total letdown? Sometimes they are in bad moods, or just want some privacy, so approaching them feels uncomfortable. Other times though, meeting your celebrity idols can be the best experience ever – especially if they’re the ones meeting you! These are the celebrities with the best sense of humor who decided to jump in on their fans’ photos with a hilarious little surprise of their own.
1. She Took A Danny DeVito Cut Out To Prom So He Brought Her To Paddy’s Pub
This girl might not have gotten asked to the prom, but she certainly had the best date out of everyone in her school. She took a cardboard cutout of Danny DeVito as her prom date, and we can’t think of anyone more suited to take. Don’t they look like such a lovely pairing? She even posted her pictures to Twitter, and someone special replied.
Danny Devito decided to repay her for taking him to prom by bringing a cardboard cutout of her to Paddy’s Pub from It’s Always Sunny In Philidelphia. It is hilarious that he went and had this cutout made of some random girl on the internet. She must have felt very special to be his date to the bar.
2. This Restaurant Offered Liam Neeson Free Food And He Showed Up
This restaurant posted their chalkboard sign to Twitter, saying, “Liam Neeson eats here for free,” and little did they know he would actually show up. Once he saw the post, he had to go to the restaurant to see if they would really give him a free meal.
While Liam Neeson can clearly afford to pay for his own meals, they did say he eats for free, so the restaurant has to fulfill that promise. If he did get free food, we hope he at least tipped the wait staff well. This restaurant should write other celebrity names and see who shows up.
3. Bill Gates Photobombed An Unsuspecting Fan
This guy is a huge fan of Bill Gates and wanted to take a picture next to the Microsoft sign. He didn’t realize that Bill Gates was in the building and standing right behind him, but we are sure he was about to get the biggest surprise of his life. Gates is so generous that he even donated his face for this man’s picture.
The tech giant is someone who you wouldn’t associate with trolling, but even billionaires can get in on the internet fun. We are guessing this man turned around and was completely starstruck once he realized Gates was standing there.
4. Arnold Schwarzenegger Scared Fans At The Wax Museum
At Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, there is a wax figure of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the terminator. One day he decided he was going to pull a prank on all his unsuspecting fans. He got dressed up in his costume and had to stand completely still until the perfect moment arrived to scare his fans.
They were not only frightened by his sudden movement, but they were also so excited that Arnold Schwarzenegger was standing within breathing distance. It must have been hard not to laugh as people ran away in fear once they saw the wax figure move. What a mix of emotions.
5. Barak Obama Posed With A Boy Who Fell Asleep At His Father’s Day Event
When you are in the presence of Barak Obama, it would probably be best to try and stay awake. This little boy failed, but luckily Barak Obama has a sense of humor, and he understands that little kids don’t always make it through a meal without having a nap in the middle.
Although he didn’t take offense to the child sleeping at his event, he wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity for a funny photo op. Not only did Barak get an amusing photo, but he also made everyone in the room laugh, and now we can all reminisce on his days in office.
6. Tom Hanks Takes Photos With Drunk Fans
Tom Hanks is always a good sport when it comes to interacting with his fans. When these folks spotted him at a restaurant, they wanted to make the most of their interaction, so they stole his glasses and pretended to be drunk. If there is any celebrity you would want to see in public, it is definitely Tom Hanks.
It would have been so much better if they both pretended to be wasted, but at least they got these awesome photos. If you are lucky enough to make Tom Hanks laugh, you have truly made it in life. This is officially their peak, and life is just downhill from here.
7. When Beyonce Says, “Whatever Face You Make, I’ll Make” You Have To Be Creative
If you are ever lucky enough to meet queen Bey, you need to get a selfie as this guy did. Beyonce said to him, “Whatever face you make, I’ll make.” That is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and if you ever get the chance, make the most of the situation by having Beyonce make a silly face.
If the guy had more time to think, he should have made a kissy-face towards her just to see if she would do one back. Jay Z probably wouldn’t be happy about that, but it would definitely be worth the shot for this guy. There are only so many special moments when you get to meet a superstar like Beyonce, so don’t waste them.
8. Elijah Wood Got A Piggy Back Ride From His Fan
In the most delightful way possible, Elijah Wood looks like a wooden doll in this photo. He just seems so light and innocent on this woman’s back, but she seems to be enjoying it. Wood is always nice when he meets fans, and he is willing to take the weirdest pictures possible.
This almost looks like Elijah Wood is her little brother, and their parents forced them to take a family photo for the Christmas card. It is so much more pleasant when you meet a celebrity that you look up to, and they are actually a decent human being.
9. Bill Murray Loves Mocking Crying Babies
We would just like to go on the record and say Bill Murray and Tom Hanks look eerily alike when Bill makes this face. This child was clearly not happy that he met Bill Murray instead of the voice behind Woody from Toy Story. The little boy got upset and started to cry, so Bill mocked him.
What is a child to do when they want to meet one celebrity, but it is not who they thought? The little boy didn’t know any better, and Murray seems amused by the tears of children. Luckily two out of the three people in this picture got had a good laugh.
10. This Man Is In Utter Shock From The Rock’s Photobomb
Few people genuinely enjoy interacting with their fans, but The Rock is a special kind of celebrity. Not only does he enjoy taking photos and signing autographs, but he also likes to play jokes with the people who approach him. He always has good intentions, though.
When this man started to take a selfie, The Rock found the perfect moment to jump into the background. Not only did The Rock get to meet one of his supporters, but this guy also got an awesome selfie with a living legend.
11. Chris Pratt Posted These To His Instagram When Fans Asked About Jennifer Lawrence
Chris Pratt loves to have the last laugh when it comes to social media. When his fans started tweeting and commenting asking for him to post selfies with Jennifer Lawrence, he happily obliged, but with a twist. The two co-starred in the movie Passenger, and the fans wanted photos of them on their press tour.
Instead of posting regular selfies with Lawrence, he decided to cut her out or cover her face in the nicest way possible. He just wanted to troll all of his fans who were requesting pictures of her. We bet no one was that upset about these pictures considering his handsome face took up most of the frame.
12. Johnny Depp Dressed Up As Jack Sparrow And The Police Got A Selfie with Him
Johnny Depp thought it would be a delightful idea to dress up as his famous character, Jack Sparrow, and walk around the town of South East Queensland. The cops were so happy to see him so they asked for a photo and he jumped right in. Despite what people say about him, Depp seems like a nice person.
It is somewhat risky for him to walk in a public place dressed as one of his most recognizable characters, but he probably wanted to trick his fans and then surprise them like other celebrities. Luckily he didn’t get mobbed by anybody.
13. When You Meet Fabio, This Is The Only Appropriate Picture To Ask For
Fabio is an Italian-American actor, model, and spokesperson. He is mostly known for his modeling work on romantic book covers that typically involve him with his muscles showing or holding a woman in his strong arms.
When this fan saw Fabio in a grocery store, they had to get a photo with him, but it wasn’t going to be ordinary. Fabio has a good sense of humor, so he agreed to hold this boy like the women on the book covers. Many middle-aged women were extremely jealous when they saw this on the internet.
14. Elijah Wood Used His Fans Chest As A Pillow
Elijah Wood strikes again! Previously, we saw him getting an innocent piggyback ride from one of his fans, and now he is nestling another fan’s chest. This woman seems happy to have Elijah so close, and he looks like he has walked into heaven.
We wonder if she only consented to this because she is a super fan of Wood. It would be so cute if they started dating after meeting and fell in love. Then she would be a beacon on hope for all the other fangirls who wish to date their celebrity crushes.
15. She Got A Perfectly Timed Photo With Bruce Springsteen
When you go to a concert for one of your favorite artists, you probably want to get a picture with them. It is only natural because you want to document the moment. Unless you have VIP passes, it is usually hard to get a photo with the performer, unless you have the perfect timing like this girl.
She was able to snap a selfie right as Bruce Springsteen walked up to the front of the stage. Lucky for her because he noticed her taking the picture and decided to pose mid-performance. That is an excellent souvenir to have from your favorite musician.
16. Michael Cera Always Wants To Be In The Picture
Michael Cera may seem innocent, but he is actually on a mission to photobomb as many pictures as possible. He wants to stay relevant, so he tries to sneak in the back of photos whenever it is possible.
This girl was taking a cute selfie when Cera walked through the background of her photo. She was probably trying to get a picture with a more famous celebrity, but Michael got in the way. All jokes aside, Michael Cera seems to have just been at the right place at the right time.
17. The Rock Likes To Make People Think He Is Writing On Their Heads
As we have seen, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson loves to mess with his fans in a kind-hearted way. When fans ask him to sing the back of their shirts, he will keep the cap on the marker and pretend to write on their heads or necks. It is just one funny way for him to make his fans laugh.
Although it confuses most of his fans, everyone involved is a good sport because they are getting the signature of a living legend. Johnson is such an amazing actor, and it so lovely to see someone who adores their fans.
18. Ken Jeong Doing What He Does Best
Ken Jeong is a famous actor who is best known for his roles in The Hangover (Parts 1-3) and Community. He usually plays the annoying villain who pretends to be friends with the main characters. In real life, he is an outstanding guy who likes to have a laugh with fans every once in a while.
These two sportscasters were so surprised when he jumped in the background of their photo at a football game. Based on the characters he plays, we can imagine he would randomly pop into pictures to surprise people.
19. Aaron Paul Photobombed This Couple’s Selfie At Coachella
Aaron Paul played Jesse Pinkman on the famous series, Breaking Bad. He is well-liked by so many people because of the show’s immense success. When this couple was taking a selfie at Coachella, he saw the camera and the perfect opportunity to photobomb them.
Since he is far away in the background, it took this couple a while to realize who was jumping into their photo. After looking through everything, they must have been shocked to see a celebrity trying to take part in their picture.
20. Cole Sprouse Made An Instagram Dedicated To Fans Taking Photos Of Him
Cole Sprouse and his twin Dylan have been gracing the TV’s of teens since they were little. Cole and Dylan are known for their starring roles on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and Cole now plays Jughead on Riverdale. These two were famous Disney twins, so they get recognized where ever they go.
Instead of getting upset with fans for taking pictures without his consent, Cole decided to create an Instagram. Every time he snaps a pic of someone sneaking a picture of him, he posts it to this profile. You can find all the ways people thought they were sly on the Camera Duels account.
21. Who Is More Stealth: Jake Gyllenhaal Or This Couple?
We aren’t sure if this couple meant to take a picture with Jake Gyllenhall in the background, or they were taking a regular selfie, and he photobombed them. Either way, it is so funny how his head fits perfectly between the gap in theirs. It is hard to tell if he is happy or not that he got spotted in the restaurant.
Imagine if you were trying to take a sneaky photo with a celebrity in the background and the flash went off; that would be a dead giveaway. Based on Gyllenhall’s face, we are going to say it was not a photobomb, but the couple was very stealth about their picture.
22. Michael Rooker Surprised Fans In Starbucks
Michael Rooker plays Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy (one and two). Spoiler alert: he dies in the second movie before the crew comes into contact with the Avengers for Infinity War. He went to his local Starbucks for coffee and met a few fans along the way while wearing an Infinity War hat.
The people were so excited to meet him, and when they saw his hat, they started speculating that he would make an appearance in the new movie. Unfortunately, Yondu won’t make a return, but the hat did throw some people off. Rooker posted these photos to his Instagram, and he seems like someone who enjoys fan interaction.
23. Adam Savage Wore A Disguise To Comic Con
Adam Savage is best known for his part on the hit Discovery Channel show, Mythbusters. When he attended Comic-Con, he wanted to enjoy the convention without being recognized, so he wore three disguises that really covered up his identity. You would never know it was him if you walked past.
Sometimes celebrities just want to enjoy conventions and not have to worry about taking pictures or signing autographs. Many of Savage’s fans met him without even knowing it that day. They probably treated him like any other fellow convention-goer and didn’t get the chance to snap his picture.
24. Someone Sent Fan Mail To Tom Hanks And This Was His Response
Tom Hanks has clearly shown that he is a celebrity who enjoys meeting and speaking with his fans. One person sent him a fan letter and did not expect him to respond. However, he sent a personalized message with a photo to top it off.
Hanks said that he would have included a headshot, but all of his are outdated. As one of the most well-known celebrities in Hollywood, we can assume he no longer needs those. He also signed the polaroid and made sure to include the fan in the photo. Tom Hanks is so awesome.
25. She Didn’t Know Matt Garza Was Right Behind Her
This girl is a huge fan of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, so when she got tickets to the game above the dugout, she was so excited. She had to snap some photos of her right next to the field, but she didn’t expect a special photobomb from one of the players.
Matt Garza is a pitcher for the Brewers, and he popped up out of the dugout just in time for the photo. This girl was probably so pumped to have one of the players in her picture. It would have been funny if she didn’t realize he was there the entire time and only found out when she looked at the image.
26. Mark Hamill Pulled Off This Epic Surprise For Star Wars Fans
Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies, and he did this special project to surprise fans. These people were told they were going to read some lines from the movie, and they would be put into a scene using the green screen. Little did they know that there was someone special waiting behind the scenes.
At the perfect moment, Hamill walked up behind them and surprised the unknowing super fans. Many people were in shock that Luke was there in person. From confusion to pure joy, all emotions were felt when he walked out from behind the green screen. Hamill really pulled one over on those fans.
27. Maisie Williams Gave This Boy The Best Selfie Of His Life
Maisie Williams is known for her role as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, and she has so many adoring fans. This guy happened to be in the right place at the right time when he took a selfie, beacause Maisie happened to be in the background.
Whether he did it on purpose or not, this boy can now show all his friends that he got a photo with Maisie Williams. That has got to earn him some bragging rights amongst his pals.
28. John Krasinski Wanted To Be In Their Selfie
When you spot John Krasinski out in public, you have to take a photo of him. He is one of the most hilarious men, and he might even make a signature “Jim Face” if he realizes you are taking the picture.
These two men were at a Red Socks game when they realized who was sitting two rows behind them. Obviously, as big fans of The Office, they had to get a photo op with one of the most popular characters. Luckily John didn’t care, and he looked in the right direction for the pic.
29. Yes, The Queen Of England Can Photobomb Just Like Everyone Else
This has to be a once in a lifetime photobomb for Queen Elizabeth II. It is probably rare that the queen plays pranks and jokes around, so when these two women were taking a selfie, the queen decided to smile for the photo as she was standing in the background.
We can’t imagine the queen being much of a jokester, and it is rare to see her smiling, so this was a double whammy. She seems to be in good spirits here because this was taken before all the Meghan and Harry drama sent her into a tizzy.
30. Prince Harry Made This Photo Of Winnie Harlow Ten Times Better
Unlike his grandmother, Prince Harry is known for being a jokester and loves acting silly for the cameras, when it is appropriate of course. When Winnie Harlow and her agent were out to dinner, they noticed Harry sitting behind them and tried to sneak a picture.
Luckily, Prince Harry noticed them taking a photo, so he got in on the fun. It wouldn’t have been as good of a picture if he didn’t know it was being shot. Also, for someone who is friends with high profile celebrities, it is funny to see how starstruck Winnie Harlow and her agent are by the sight of Prince Harry.
31. Dave Chapelle Crashed This Engagement Photoshoot
Dave Chapelle is a stand-up comedian who has many Netflix specials. He loves to laugh and joke with his fans, so he saw this engagement shoot as the perfect opportunity to troll a pair of unsuspecting lovebirds.
This couple was taking their engagement photos at a beer garden, and Chapelle decided to sneak into the background of some of the pictures. These are probably the only engagement photos that people will care about and want to see.
32. Major Slash Fan Didn’t Know That He Was Walking Behind Her
Imagine you are walking along the street minding your own business, and your idol happens to be standing right behind you. Well, this is precisely what happened to this unsuspecting fan. She was wearing the perfect outfit to meet him, so we hope she turned around.
She was probably starstruck when she realized who was walking closely behind her. It was a good day to rock that Slash shirt, and we hope they got a real picture together.
33. Steven Tyler Always Wants To Shoot From His Best Angle
Is it just us, or does Steven Tyler look like an angry woman about to bother the management staff with returns? As the frontman of Aerosmith, Tyler gained attention for his quirky look and unique personality. This is a relatively mundane picture of him compared to some of the other outfits he has worn on stage.
We are not sure why this woman was taking a photo in front of a parking lot, but she captured it at the right moment because Tyler decided to photobomb. However, he doesn’t look too happy knowing that someone is taking his photo.
34. Nicolas Cage Photobombed This New Mom When She Wanted A Photo With The Wine
When you are pregnant, and for a little while after you give birth, you are not allowed to drink alcohol. This woman waited nine long months plus a few extra, and she was excited to have a glass of wine again. To document the moment, she decided to pose with her baby in front of the wine.
Nicolas Cage happened to be walking by when he saw this woman taking a photo, and he saw it as the perfect moment to jump in the background. Depending upon how you feel about Cage, she could have been very happy or disappointed that he got in the picture.
35. Arnold Schwarzenegger Casually Stopping Right In Front Of This Group Photo
Why would anyone want a perfectly normal group photo in front of the Eiffel Tower when you could have Arnold Schwarzenegger photobomb it? Arnold is notorious for standing in front of people’s pictures, whether it is his famous friends or random unsuspecting people.
The people in the background look utterly confused by this random man standing in the middle of their photograph. They appear to be on a large family vacation, and they don’t realize who this person is. Imagine if they asked him to move instead of joining them in the photo.
36. George Clooney Knows How To Prank His Fellow Celebs
Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica were at an event when they ran into Steven Spielberg and wanted to get a group photo. While they were taking some pictures, George Clooney noticed and jumped in the background to make their image even more star-studded.
Even famous people like to photobomb their famous friends like they are teenagers. The only difference between this and the fan photos is that these people have a lot more money and they are well-known.
37. Wiz Khalifa Is On The Left And He Looks Quite Confused By This Setting
Wiz Khalifa is a famous rapper, and he is sitting at a table with his friends on the left side of this picture. He looks confused as to why someone is taking his picture, considering most of the people here probably have no idea who he is or what songs he has created.
These people are just enjoying their family vacation and have no idea that a famous rapper is sitting a few feet away from them. Wiz probably didn’t even mean to photobomb, but happened to be looking over at the perfect moment.
38. Prince Harry Is A World Class Photobomber
Prince Harry has proven that he is a silly guy who likes to have fun when it comes to photobombing pictures. It seems like it is one of his favorite hobbies. It doesn’t matter if you are a member of the royal family; you can still be overjoyed by the thought of making a silly face for the camera.
These three men were attending a sporting event and wanted to document the memory by taking a picture together. When Harry noticed the camera, he had to put two thumbs up for the perfect moment to photobomb. It doesn’t matter where he is; Prince Harry will always find his ways into people’s pictures.
39. Benedict Cumberbatch Just Wanted A Picture With His Favorite Band, U2
Clearly acting isn’t the only talent Benedict Cumberbatch has. He is also a world-class photobomber of the stars. The Dr. Strange and Sherlock Holmes star might be an award-winning talent, but that never stops him from bringing out his inner child on the red carpet.
When Cumberbatch saw the members of U2 and their spouses taking a photo, he had to jump in the background, literally. No one seems to notice that he is standing behind them, and they probably will have a good laugh when they notice him.
40. Justin Timberlake Likes To Steal His Wife’s Spotlight
It is not just celebrities trolling their fans, but they also like to joke around with their spouses. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been married for years, so when they walk the red carpet, they each get pictures together and separate. Justin wanted to mess with his wife’s photos and make the paparazzi laugh.
Timberlake decided to fool around and photobomb his wife’s pictures because he is silly and likes to mess around with her. He was probably jealous that all the photographers were calling her name and not his.
The Most Epic And Hilarious Sports Bloopers Of All Time
John Travis
This article was originally published on WackoJaco
We love sports because it helps us get an escape from the world around us and look at something that provides a sense of belonging and a connection to a wider world. Most sports can be super intense, as athletes give it their all to be the best of the best. Even though these men and women might seem like titans among us, they’re only human, and they make mistakes. Hilarious mistakes. In fact, for us, these mistakes in sports are often the best part of the game – and after some digging, we found the most hysterically funny sports bloopers in all of sports history. You don’t want to miss this!
Is This A New Bird Species?
A team of over a hundred experts sat down to determine whether this woman is a fancy-looking professional bowler or a gymnast. You can give your opinion on this one, but we doubt that it will settle the debate.
We don’t have to put too much pressure on ourselves for this, so let’s agree on one thing: that this picture is quite painful to look at. We should only acknowledge that the woman did nail a perfect landing with a ball on her face.
Keep Raising Me Up
If you don’t know what is happening here, then let us clear things out for you. This is synchronized swimming and it is truly an art form. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that these ladies just swim around in a pool. They do gymnastics and elaborate dances in water under intense pressure.
And yes, it is quite hard to do. They do look like cute mermaids, but aren’t always as graceful. But we don’t really mind it because they are strong women.
That’s A Slam – Oh Wait Wrong Sport
First of all, this is not some sort of wrestling form. This is professional ice skating, which is a lot different than what we do when we go ice skating. After all, we do less skating and more of making weird faces as we try to balance ourselves to avoid an inevitable fall.
These professional skaters know how to twist and turn effortlessly in front of a large audience and judges. But sometimes they can make mistakes as well. We can hope that it was just a minor injury.
Up In The Air… And Then Down
This is one of those moments when you regret your decision to make a wrong move while diving.
This guy’s face looks like he has jumped from a plane without a parachute. We don’t know if he was able to dive correctly or not.
Sucking In All The Air
Legend has it that people found it difficult to breathe in the stadium in which this sprinter was running because he had sucked in most of the air.
Jokes apart, track runners don’t look like humans. It is because they have strong lungs and the capacity to run long distances. It reminds us of Usain Bolt and how effortlessly he used to beat his competitors.
Getting Closer Than Everyone Expected
We have to admit that figure skaters are so graceful and beautiful that they can easily leave viewers speechless with their athleticism.
But a time comes when they fail to perform well. It can be really cringe-worthy moment to see one of the pros of the game fall or trip. Here we are looking at a photo where these two skating partners are getting a bit too close.
A Professional Table Tennis Player or A T-Rex?
You can make fun of the facial expressions of professional table tennis players, but one thing you need to keep in mind is that they are extremely competitive.
So, they usually make some weird faces – but that should never make anyone judge their capability to play the sport. And just so you know, the sport is called ping pong by recreational players and table tennis by professional players.
Almost Stuck The Landing
This impressive woman is a former Russian pole-vaulter, Yelena Isinbayeva, who also happens to be a three-time World Champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and also the current world record holder in the event.
World Athletics (formerly known as International Amateur Athletic Federation and International Association of Athletics Federations) named her Female Athlete of the Year in 2004, 2005, 2008. She is, without any doubt, considered one of the greatest female pole-vaulters of all time. We really love this shot because it perfectly shows that even the greats and mighty fall sometimes.
Taking A Closer Look
There’s no denying that wresting is one of those sports in which you really have to get up close to your competitors to take them down. In this picture, the wrestlers are trying their best to win the game, but the referee has something really important to check.
So, it seems, like the referee got super close to the players – maybe a bit too close. Perhaps he wanted to tell them something or who knows, maybe he’s checking if the player is still breathing.
Beautiful Fabio
This is not a movie scene. We repeat that this is not a movie scene. After all, you see a scene like this in movies, but normally there is a gorgeous woman doing it. However, this hockey player won the internet with his impromptu hair modeling moment that will surely go down as one of the greatest moments in the history of this sport.
The way he is heating up the ice rink, we are sure that a few people had to take their shirts off because it got too hot in there.
She’s Probably Still Trying To Find The Photographer That Took This One
Given that there are a lot of things happening in this photo, it is best that we break it down for you. One person’s leg is acting as a chair for this highly professional synchronized swimmer, while the ladies are holding her feet down with smiles on their faces.
But the best thing in this photo is none other than the woman’s face – that is just priceless. We are surprised that the face didn’t become a famous meme.
This Is Not Wrestling
We see in WWE how wrestlers make this move to defeat their opponents, but this is not wrestling at all.
These professional ice skaters often make the sport look easy, but then there are times when one wrong move can cause an injury. After all, no matter how much you practice, there’s always a chance for a slip-up.
Playing Volleyball With Legs
This game is Sepak Takraw (Kick Volleyball), a sport native to Southeast Asia. For the game, you have to defy gravity – and that’s what makes the sport so interesting. The professional athletes who play this game know very well that strengthening the muscles is important, but so is stretching them.
In this photo, we can see the benefits of all that stretching, which has contorted these two men into quite a strange position. Looking at them reminds us of an octopus’ tentacles and how freely they’re able to move their legs around.
You’re Supposed To Swing At It!
This batter is trying his best to avoid hit by pitch (HBP), which happens when a ball thrown from the pitcher hits a batter, his clothing, or equipment (basically anything other than his bat).
One thing we all know is that baseball is a fun and crazy sport. After all, hitting a ball thrown at you at high speed from a pitcher with a narrow bat is not an easy feat. And there is always a possibility that the ball won’t go where the pitcher aimed…just like in this case.
Focus…Focus…Got It!
This is the face you make when you want to eat something so bad and you can’t resist the temptation. This guy is a table tennis player who is focusing all his energies on hitting a tiny ball. If you have watched this game, you’ll know how players make weird faces and even make loud noises before serving.
By the way, the game requires a lot of focus, but these professional players are hitting the ball again and again like it’s a piece of cake.
“I’m Gonna Eat You”
We got to admit that at first we thought this person was trying to let one rip without a single worry of anyone noticing it, but it seems quite clear that he’s a professional powerlifter.
He looks more focused than that one friend who is trying to devour pizza so that they could have the last piece. We can come up with all sorts of explanations as to why he made this face.
“Hey Judge, Can You Do This?”
When it comes to synchronized swimming, athletes have to be super flexible and strong all over.
In duet or team competition, the swimmers have to make sure everything is perfect because one wrong move can ruin their practice and their months of hard work. Moreover, they get judged on everything from their smile to their routine.
A Pose You Won’t Forget
The athletes in synchronized swimming are quite similar to gymnasts because they also need to keep a smile on their faces at all times. And there is a lot of importance to the pose. That’s why they train for months to perfect their routine and everything else.
We are not taking away this swimmer’s hard work and effort, but it just seems like she was at the depths of the ocean and she crawled her way out of it. It goes without saying that this image can terrorize some people.
A Bad Decision
We are pretty sure that this high diver didn’t intend to make this face. It is because no one can intentionally make such a face that doesn’t look human at all. Maybe he’s regretting his decision or trying his best not to do anything that may embarrass himself in front of so many people.
This is certainly a crazy sport because these guys throw themselves off such high places and then walk out of the water with a smile on their faces.
A Throw In Slow Motion
Do you love slo-mo videos? If haven’t seen them, then just go to YouTube and watch them. Trust us on this one, you will absolutely fall in love with them.
This guy may look a little different while throwing the ball, but slow-motion showed how he is looking not so pretty. Slow-motion can make everything look awesome, but it doesn’t guarantee that everything will look pretty.
Just Look At The Weight
As compared to other sports, powerlifting is all about strength and technique. But mostly, it is just power. That’s why you see such bulky people lifting heavy weights.
Although people who are not fans of powerlifting laugh at the strange facial expressions of powerlifters, it is best to look at the weight they’re lifting rather than their faces. After all, you might find it difficult to lift 100’s of pounds of weight without injuring yourself.
Cringe-Worthy Face
We feel that this lady is super beautiful and she’s just doesn’t know that her face looks so cringy. Before laughing at the face she made, try making a video of your face when sneezing.
By the way, she’s a top athlete who knows how to display her immense talent on the ice.
Hold Up! Don’t Move A Muscle
Hey, it looks like we can hear the screams of this high diver from the look on his face. Maybe he’s showing you what to do when the police catch you robbing a donut shop.
From his face, it looks like he has decided not to high dive again. We are pretty sure that the photographer must be jumping with excitement because they got lucky with this one.
What Do You See Karen?
When it comes to Figure Skating, it takes a lot of practice and a lot of falls to be good at it. Another thing to notice is that figure skating partners have to be close because they have to tangle and get close to each other during practice and performances. But why do we feel that this is a new level of closeness?
Given how the lady is in such a compromising situation, one wonders she must know her figure skating partner quite well.
Must Be A Winning Shot
People who follow tennis can go as far as calling it the best sport in the world, even better than soccer or cricket (it has over 2.5 billion fans). Those who don’t know much about the sport can only see the ball going from one side to the other and hear a lot of grunts made by the players.
Here, it seems like this player is on the verge of winning the match. From the looks of it, we’re sure it must be her power shot.
A Bubbly Swimmer
We don’t want to look rude here but it seems like this professional swimmer’s real name is not Diana. We have a strong feeling that her spirit animal is the Loch Ness Monster and that’s why her real name is Nessie.
Instead of judging us, be honest and answer: did you think the same? Given how she made such a funny face and the photo seems perfect in every way, we feel that she really deserves a medal. Amazing shot!
Female Crabs?
An athletic event can become memorable due to the high energy in it and that is exactly what happened here. This effort from the team made people stand on their feet and applaud such a remarkable performance.
However, we do feel that they look like some crabs trying to defend their home against an enemy.
Oh My God!
Have you ever tried holding your breath underwater? Most people can’t hold their breath underwater for more than a minute and it is totally understandable. This is the face you make when you’ve been underwater for some time because your lungs start to beg for air and you have to burst out of the water.
Did you know that German freediver Tom Sietas holds the record for holding his breath underwater for 22 minutes and 22 seconds?
Use Your Head Lady
For an athlete to succeed, it is imperative that they work hard and be totally focused. That’s why you can see so many successful athletes always telling others to remain dedicated and stay focused no matter what happens.
But athletes are human and they can make mistakes as well. This volleyball player got distracted during the game and that single lapse in concentration caused her to fall. Looks like she took the expression “get your head in the game” to the next level.
The Perfect Soccer Face
We saw how professionals made faces during lifting heaving weights and jumping into the water, but we have to admit that this one tops them all for now. Soccer is an intense sport, and it also happens to be the most popular sport in the world as well.
Fans can get super emotional for the soccer team they support and you can imagine how the fans of Manchester United felt when their favorite player got sucker-punched in the face with a football. But it must have been funny for the other team!
Now That’s A Grab
This is the face you make when you grab the ball from your brother but your mom quickly steps in by shouting from the sidelines, “Boys, play fair!”
Although this doesn’t happen during professional basketball matches, we’re quite sure that these players are looking at the referee for validation.
Not A Traditional Dance
At first, we thought it might be some traditional dance or something, but that is not the case. Whatever these beautiful ladies are doing, we absolutely love it.
One of the coolest things about professional synchronized swimming is that every teammate must be aware of their moves and their team’s moves all while being flawless in executing anything.
“I’m A Butterfly”
One thing that all professional players need to know is that everything they do on the field is being recorded and also shown live on TV.
Take a look at this soccer player who is so much into the game that he doesn’t even know he’s unintentionally showing a somewhat hidden glimpse of his – you know what – to so many people. We’re quite sure that this must be super uncomfortable for everyone.
Not A Slam Dunk
If someone tells you that you can’t feel pain through images, show them this picture. It is because people who play and watch basketball know well how much it hurts to have a basketball slammed on your face.
If you think there is any other dangerous sport in the world, show it to us. Till then we will keep on believing that basketball is the world’s most dangerous game ever.
Chaos Among Cheerleaders
We all have to acknowledge the fact that cheerleaders play an important role in keeping the energy levels up. They make the crowd cheer which helps teams perform better. But sometimes, cheerleaders need some cheering and support because they can make mistakes as well…they are not robots after all!
These young ladies were all set to energize the crowd, but one mistake led to this chaos. We are sure they stood up, organized themselves, and learned from their mistake.
Double Tap
Soccer players know very well the danger of their sport. You can find a lot of videos and photos of players getting hit in sensitive areas. Just like it is the case in most of these on-field accidents, one player was looking at the big ball while the other player was looking at something else (you know what we mean).
No matter how many expensive coaches you get for a team, they can never teach players the defensive tactic against such an attack. If a player gets a blow on their leg or arm, it can be treated at the spot with sprays and medicine, but what about the sensitive part? It is a cruel game.
What Kind of Dance Is This?
We have seen so far how athletes found themselves in some pretty compromising positions and this one is no different.
At first glance, it may seem like they are in some sort of ritual, but that is not the case. These two players are trying to get hold of one thing.
That’s One Big Jump
Just when you thought you had seen everything crazy happening in the world of sports, this track and field jumper was like “hold my beer.”
It is truly spectacular how a thin guy like him managed to squeeze his body into something like a pancake and take a flight. This is seriously mind-blowing. Highly impressive!
This Game Sucks
You have already seen that wrestling is impossible without players getting close to each other. So, when wrestlers do try to defeat their opponent, they have to do everything necessary.
There are some moves that can take a wrestler’s mouth pretty close to the opponent’s armpit. In this case, the wrestler’s face is under something else. One can expect that he must be thinking, “This game sucks.”
Not My Face…Not My Face…Ahhh
The game of cricket is followed by billions of people and it is a really interesting sport. It is similar to baseball. It can also get a bit physical as seen by this photo here.
The batsman was trying to take a run when he fell and his face was at a place where it shouldn’t be. We believe that it was the defining moment of the match.
Hey, What is Happening Here?
This is what photography can bring to you. How often you get to see this happening on a soccer field, right?
We feel a little bad for the photographer because that person went to the field thinking they would take good photos of the game, but they had to take photos of another ongoing game. What more can we say about it?
A Kiss On The Eye
In some sports in which players can get close to opponent players, things like these tend to happen and there’s nothing new in it. When it comes to sports like soccer, ice skating, or basketball, winning depends a lot on teamwork.
So, we don’t feel bad for the guy with a ball because we feel that he took one for the team. Above all, it wasn’t a kiss of death so there’s nothing to worry about.
A True Champ
If you have ever turned on the TV and watched pole vaulting, then you must know that this sport is super crazy. If you don’t know about it then let us help you. So the idea behind the sport is to get your body over the bar. Your body can’t touch the bar while you jump over it. Seems easy right?
Well, the player holds a giant stick and runs down a track at a top speed only to launch them 20 feet in the air with the help of the stick. It may sound crazy, but the sport is pretty fun to watch.
Right Before Submission
Any UFC fans here? Well, The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is American mixed martial arts. It is quite popular all over the world. It is a super crazy sport in which you get to see some of the best fighters compete with each other.
Like wrestling, one player is trying to defeat the other player. In this photo, the player knows that he’s about to lose the game. Although he’s looking right into the camera, a submission is pretty much on the way. If you watch UFC, who do you support?
Watch Me Dance
It seems like this player recently took ballet classes and now wants to show his talent to the world. Maybe he recently discovered his passion and is trying to let the world know that basketball is no longer the sport he wants to play.
We do feel that he can be a good ballet dancer. What do you think about it? By the way, ballet reminds us of 2010 Natalie Portman’s movie Black Swan. We highly recommend you watch it.
Must Be A Scathing Skater
This image is just gold and we don’t have many words to describe it. Most people may think it looks like this person just saw his girlfriend kissing someone else, or there is a possibility that he just doesn’t like people at all.
Regardless of the reason, we just hope the photographer who took this picture gets a pay raise because it’s a pretty good shot as it has everything from high energy, the drama, and brilliant facial expression. What more do you want from a photo?
Double Punch
Every face in this photo tells a different story and that’s what we love so much about this photo. The goalkeeper has his eyes closed and though he is trying to push the soccer ball away from the opponent player, and in doing so he has accidentally punched him.
The goalkeeper’s teammate is not looking at what’s happening, but he seems super excited about it. The referee in the back is looking at the entire accident with a look shock. No wonder why this game is so popular.
Taking One For The Team
This photo is super hilarious on so many levels. You know it is gold because of the reaction of two players in it. Although both players are from the same team, it seems like one had to make his face work as a launching pad for his teammate.
We are certain that this is not what the player underneath thought. At the extreme left of the photo, you can find the referee looking at it with absolutely no emotions on his face.
Don’t You Dare Look At Me
We feel that it would have been more convenient if this guy was standing like this in front of another human and not a helpless animal.
It seems like standing in front of an angry bull and making a weird face is not a wise decision, but they are experts at doing it. What do you think happened next? Did the bull play with this guy like a dog plays a balloon?
A Helping Hand
Although most of you thought of something else, we like to look at the other side of the picture. All we’re looking at is a man helping another man, what’s wrong with it? This guy was brought up in a way that he is always trying to help others in need, and we find it inspirational.
If you think something else is going on here, you need to get yourself checked. You all need to learn from us. Okay, we can’t do this anymore. This photo is hilarious and we all know why.
