Invisible Cats

Everyone knows the lolcats. They are supposed to be cute and make you smile. Usually they consist of a cat with a cute face and a line written with wrong grammer. From this thread from the internet a better one originated.
Invisible Cats is a internet picture thread of cats doing many different activities. Variants may include other animals but the same idea is present. This typically consists of strange possitions that will make it look like they are doing something else. An example would be a cat jumping and a line which says "invisible pogo stick". But there are a bunch of them.
I thought that invisible cats are very funny, they not only show the cat in a weird moment but they really make you realise that that is how you look when you do the same activities.
Bellow are some examples of invisible cats:







These were some examples just for you to understand what invisible cats are. They are very popular and show up often in stumble upon. I find them particularly funny because I picture myself doing the same thing, and often enough I would look just like them.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU

Although the name may seem very wierd, this is a very popular comic trend. It tends to be made up of 4 boxes put sometimes has more. The whole point of this comic strip is to depict things that happen in our day-to-day life but we think its just with us. News is, most of these problems happen to all of us, and this comic type is great at showing that. It is very poorly drawn and can be made even in paint, and the last square consists of the picture of an angry guy yelling the F word, only that it is censured to show just the f and the u. This comic may show almost anything you can imagine, but they tend to stick to real life examples of crapy things that happen throught your day. Here are a few examples:








Here we see many situations that happen to us often, or at lest sometimes. This includes examples of how we forget what we went out to do and only remember when we come back, how we rip the corner of the paper when we try to pull it out, and even how we fail to turn our blankets during the night. Stumble upon categorizes this as comedy and it trully becomes something funny, expecially when you notice that we have the same problems. Some more good ones:





Spoiled Photos Continued

Spoiled Photos (Front)

This is another type of photo that comes up pretty frequently in stumble upon. Its kind of the same idea but instead of the photo bieng spoiled by a maniac in the back its by a maniac in the front of the picture. I've stumble through many of these pictures in my days and i really started to try to make some of my own spoiled photos; turns out, its harder than it looks. You have to get the timing exactly right so that the people in the picture are still smilling and making a pretty face, yet you are jumping right among them. This also tends to ruin part of the people in the picture out, but still very funny. Here is a little samble of what a spoiled photo (front) looks like:




Of course, if your an animal then it was just bieng at the wrong place at the wrong time (or right place at the right time) but it does take a lot of courage to spoil someones picture, expecially if its a compleate stragers picture. Or if you jump in a feminine fashion in front of the schools football team. And finally, I present to you the winners of all spoiled photos:





What is Stumble Upon - Spoiled Photos

Well, as some of you know, stumble upon is a plugin to your web browser. You enter the site and make an account, and detail what are your preferences when stumbling, for example, comedy, or sports or even medicine. Then you download the toolbar and everytime you hit the stumble button you will randomly enter any website in the world that has been rated as one of your categories. You can even thumbs up or thumbs down a web page to narrow your preferences down to just what you like. Well, my stumble upon is comedy, and this is what ill be talking about in this blog, funny pictures, videos, blogs and so one.
So without further adue, this is entry 1.

Photo Spoilers (behind)

A spoiled photo (behind) is a type of photo that seems normal at first look, but will reveal another person doing something funny, obscene or even frightning in the background. These are one of the things that frequently comes up in my stumble upon and always a good brake from extended essay; expecially when the pictures are put into demotivational posters. I tried to compile some good examples of these pictures below but many websites dont let me take their photos. Enough said; enjoy some great examples of spoiled photos:
