Down the Rabbit Hole: A Compilation Of Bizarre Internet Pics

By Jhoana C

Feeling restless and unable to drift into dreamland, even after the futile act of counting sheep? Dive into the vast realm of social media, and you’ll encounter a myriad of videos and images that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Some posts will set your funny bone a-tingling, evoking hearty laughter, while others may repulse you and provoke existential contemplation. Indeed, the internet and social media serve as a treasure trove of information, as well as a repository of some of the most perplexingly irrelevant content that may lead you to ponder, “Why?”

We stumbled upon an Instagram page that boasts an intriguing compilation of peculiar, unsettling, and utterly nonsensical photographs, tailor-made for those moments when you’re preparing to embrace the sweet embrace of sleep or when you find yourself with an abundance of free time. Just when you believe you’ve witnessed it all, we extend an invitation for you to delve deeper into this collection. However, we must offer a fair warning: you may emerge from this bizarre journey with more questions than answers!

#1 Cross eyes and long arms

The initial reaction when we saw this image was, “Wowza! This dude must have a world record for the longest arms ever!” Or perhaps the buddy who doctored this pic has a hidden beef with the guy and decided that the ultimate revenge would be to stretch his arms to about a hundred meters long.

We’re wondering what on earth this poor chap did to deserve such a comical transformation. Did he swipe the other guy’s sweetheart? Or did he embark on a lifelong quest to outdo him at every turn? The mystery remains unsolved. All we can say is that this Photoshop attempt has gone hilariously awry!

#2 What are these two smoking?

The first thing we’d like to know is the series of events that led up to this catastrophe. Yup, there’s no other word to describe what’s in the photo. Nobody in their right mind would do such antics unless they desperately needed social media attention!

Ouch! Even just gazing at this makes us wince, and we’re left marveling at how that lady’s got a back of steel! After a performance like this acrobatic feat, we’d be speed-dialing our friendly neighborhood chiropractor for a bone realignment session!

#3 Crikey, it’s a Croc!

When we stumbled upon this gem, we couldn’t help but ask: why is Samwise Gamgee flaunting a Croc? Last time we checked, he was more into ring-bearing than rubber footwear. Middle Earth had its share of surprises, but we’re fairly certain that even Crocs didn’t get an invite to the magical realm!

Well, color us surprised! Upon taking a magnifying glass to the situation, we came to the astonishing revelation that it was none other than the late, great Steve Irwin. Crikey! We’re huge fans of his daring adventures, and we still find it a stingray-sized tragedy that his adventurous life was cut short. Going belly-up in your prime is never a barrel of laughs.

#4 When did Spider-Man start pooping tissues?

We can’t help but wonder what was in this person’s superhero-sized pipe when they concocted this tissue box design. We’ve been avid followers of Stan Lee’s comic creations, and not once do we recall an issue where Spider-Man went into the tissue-excreting business. Seriously, where do these creative minds hatch their wacky ideas?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Alright, we confess, a chuckle or two escaped us when we first laid eyes on this gem because it’s just plain funny. But let’s face it, this could put a dent in the superhero’s pristine image. We’re left pondering if the guy behind this is still on the payroll!?

#25 Thanos on Sax

Many words can be used to describe the Mad Titan, Thanos. The incredibly burly guy with the purplish skin and square jaw has made it his mission to reduce half of the world’s population with the snap of his fingers, and he succeeded in the Avengers: Infinity War.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

This must have been Thanos before he got a hold of the gauntlet. He pursued a music career, but it didn’t take off for lack of talent or other reasons. He was a failed artist who committed genocide by making everyone who ignored his musical skills pay for their lives—same old story.

#6 Wow! We get Shaq stickers, too!

Wow! Shaq has diversified since leaving professional basketball. After his fruitful stint in the NBA, he got a Master’s degree, invested in a donut franchise, sold affordable shoes at Walmart, and is now enticing us with pregnancy tests that come with free stickers!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

While many other hoop stars hit the financial rocks post-retirement, he’s sipping the good life, relishing retirement, and assisting folks to discover if they’re about to embark on the wild adventure of parenthood. It’s a leap from slam dunks to sonograms, but hey, if it ain’t broke, why not keep the baby-themed gravy train rolling?

#7 Menacing Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg’s got quite the extensive résumé, but we must admit, we missed the memo about his vampire or nightmarish ghoul side gig. Look at him, flaunting those pointy fangs and an unsettling glint in his eyes. Maybe the Meta-verse has a spookier side than we thought!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Need a surefire way to give your little ones some pre-slumber jitters? Just flash them this snapshot, and brace yourself for a marathon of bedtime boos and eeks. In all fairness, we’ve got to hand it to the not-so-great Photoshop team; they didn’t exactly break a sweat on this one.

#8 A house that knows how to spell


The funniest thing about this picture is that most folks didn’t catch what was cookin’ until someone came along with a neon sign that read “POOP” above their heads. So, here’s the question: did you spot it instantly, or were you in the dark until we dropped the scoop?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

The architect behind this place clearly didn’t take a peep from the street view before bringing it to life. It’s safe to assume that whoever resides here must be the punchline to a lot of neighborhood jokes. Are the kids making wisecracks? Most likely.

#9 Look away now!

Prepare to kiss those peaceful dreams goodbye because once you’ve seen this, there’s no going back! We clearly missed the memo about Steve Harvey moonlighting as a Shrek merchandise model. In hindsight, maybe it’s for the best if he hadn’t taken that gig!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

They say the best things in life are free, but it’s safe to say that creating this photo wasn’t one of those. Now, whoever masterminded this mashup is about to single-handedly stimulate the therapy industry. Shrek Harvey and his pint-sized doppelgänger are now etched into our minds and poised to haunt our dreams for years!

#10 We don’t want that anywhere near our plates

When hunger strikes, we’re usually open to culinary adventures, but this? Well, it’s a hard pass. Nut guts? If that’s the part we’re envisioning, we’d sooner stage a full-blown hunger strike than let that atrocity near our plates. Yikes!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

If the restaurant’s grand plan was to give their customers a one-way ticket out of there, they’ve nailed it! After glimpsing the daily menu, we doubt anyone with their marbles intact would ever dare to dine there again. But then again, more places should follow suit and be honest about what they’re selling.

#11 There’s no running away from each other

Here’s a brilliant plan for lovebirds who can’t stand to be apart, not even for a bathroom break. If you believe you’ve found your heart’s duet partner and want to take the “locking it down” notion quite literally (pun totally intended), you might just propose this experiment to your significant other.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

It could only go both ways. They can say they’re 1005 in and would even go to the hardware store to get the padlock you two will be wearing, or they could run for their lives and pretend that they never knew you.

#12 This guy’s not happy you’re pooping in his potty

This kind of move is a real relationship litmus test! They could either declare themselves “1005 in” and sprint to the hardware store for that padlock, or they might pull a “Houdini” act and vanish from your life, erasing all memory of ever crossing paths with you.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

We’re dying to uncover the secret source of this nifty contraption because we’ve got a list of folks who could use it to simplify their lives! But, in all seriousness, even if we don’t have any pressing issues, this thing would be a killer addition to our home.

#13 Pepto Bismol in spreadable form

We must have been hibernating for so long because a lot of things on this list are new to us, including this Pepto Bismol spread! When was this dropped, and how come only a handful of people are aware? Most importantly, does this taste good?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

The last thing we want is a ticket to the Salmonella rollercoaster. The reviews from those who’ve hopped on that ride make it clear that it’s not exactly a jolly journey—think fever, nausea, diarrhea, and chills taking over your weekend agenda. Hard pass!

#14 That’s a finger!

Whoever tackled this photo editing gig must have had a blast, with laughter levels soaring through the roof! We can only imagine the guy’s request—it probably came out a bit like a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Or, maybe the folks on the internet decided it was prime time for a massive trolling session.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Why, you ask? Well, because how else do you find yourself with a finger the size of an arm? If you’re looking to give your dreadful ex-boss the grand old “FU,” this is the ultimate way to deliver it. This guy’s got the unique ability to tell people to “talk to the hand”!

#15 How did this even happen?

Just when you believe you’ve seen it all, the world goes, “Surprise!” Behold, a heartwarming illustration of a mother tending to her child. But here’s the kicker—it’s no ordinary baby; it’s a fully grown bee. So, if you heard some buzzing, don’t worry, it’s likely just this hive-level parenting in action!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Who cares if your son is a bee? We do, especially if both parents are human, because how else can one not be? We have so many questions about this photo, but the most important is what is going on in the illustrator’s head.

#16 Who would want to buy that?

Well, we’re pretty sure our eyes have officially thrown in the towel after gazing upon this peculiar masterpiece. Now, the big question is, how does this whole thing work? Will the girl come to life at night and suffocate us with our favorite pillow while we sleep and dream of unicorns and a tax-free life?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Does this work through a screen, or do we have to see the real painting? But what’s the worst that could happen if you’re already dead inside from being overworked and under-compensated? You’d most likely be laughing at this weird child.

#17 Look away if you have a foot fetish

These are the weirdest Oompa Loompas we have seen, and mind you, we have seen plenty because we’re fans of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you feel that your toes are ugly, look at this, and you’ll instantly feel better.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

We can get behind characters with dwarfism employed in a chocolate factory to sing and dance on cue and work the machinery, but these toes are unsettling, and regardless of how we try to be inclusive, we have to admit it’s bothering us!

#18 Someone lost their boat

Folks on the Internet say this is something that can only happen in Ohio. We would have loved to know the backstory to this because it isn’t every day that you see a speedboat on the road but since there isn’t any context, feel free to make up your own story.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

We are certain of one thing, someone out there is crying after having lost a speed boat. How do you even lose something as massive? We don’t have the answers for you. Either someone was careless or they’ve been trying to get rid of that thing for so long.

#19 Can we interest you in some eggs?

Now we know where the Teletubbies came from, but we wanted to make sure if this is a duck egg or a chicken egg. If we’re going to discuss where things come from, we might as well be certain of the nitty gritty. So, which is it?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

You have to hand it to folks who sit around all day with nothing to do that they think editing photos of eggs and putting children’s faces on them is the best use of their energy. Oh, to not worry about taxes, bills, and expenses!

#20 Handy men for hire

Corey and Craig must be in dire need of money that they’re advertising their services and putting up posters on poles and stores throughout the city. Reading this, we are still confused as to what they can do for their customers.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Yes, they have strong bodies and they have an incredible bond, but what can they offer beside that? Can do cook, pet our dog, mow the lawn, bake a chocolate cake, and do headstands in that order? And why did Corey use a topless photo for this ad?

#21 Bungeesus

We respect all world religions and make sure we don’t say or do anything to offend anyone, but we are also quick to share hilarious images like this. We hope we don’t burn in hell for what we’re about to say but this bungeesus is taking a leap of faith.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

He must be feeling a little adventurous that he decided to have a little fun and give people a heart attack in the process. It’s good to see him getting out of his comfort zone because sometimes all you need is a break.

#22 Does anyone know this guy?

We’d like to know if anyone has called the authorities to point this guy out since this flyer made it to the neighborhood. Most importantly, before putting this flyer up, did they check the guy for a pulse or offered him any snack?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

He must be in need of sugar to revive him. We all know what low sugar can do and when it’s not treated, it can be very dangerous. You can faint or pass out, but why does this guy like hot tubs very much?  

#23 This would appeal to Gen Z folks

There are many things from our childhood and one of them is Blockbuster. Going to the video store and renting movies for the weekend to watch with family and friends was one of the highlights of our younger years. Yes, we’re that old.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

It’s sad that the young generation today will never experience such a thing. Thankfully, they can remedy the sad situation by purchasing this scented candle. If only we can preserve the scent of our other favorite memories.

#24 Fancy a purse like this?

Women like to carry purses around for their makeup, wallet, keys, and phones. If you don’t know what to gift your girlfriend and would like something she will appreciate and use, you can never go wrong with purses, unless you gift her there.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

What’s the point of carrying such an ugly thing that resembles footwear when the contents are going to spill out when you make the slightest move? Don’t ask us because we also don’t know what’s the logic behind this. Surely, no one wants this.

#25 No amount of screen rotation will correct this

Before you get all contortionist on your screen, let us drop a truth bomb: that wonky image is intentionally distorted. Yes, intentionally! It’s not some digital mishap. Whoever this dynamic duo hired to jazz up their wedding pics might need a refund, pronto!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

On the other hand, if you want people to talk about your wedding photos for the wrong reasons, you should have this picture blown up, framed, and displayed right, front, and center in the room where you receive guests. It will give them something to talk about…

#26 Thor’s new hammer?

We’ve watched most of the MCU movies, but we’ve never seen this version of Thor’s Hammer. It makes sense, though, since Nokia is also from Scandinavia. This is the most vital thing in the universe, and we hope it doesn’t break the handle.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

If Thor used it when he was defending Asgard from Hela, he would have succeeded, and it would have been Hela who burst. We wonder why they never gave the God of Thunder the upgrade he needed to defeat his enemies.

#27 So, this is where he went after he lost his job

Our dear Chuck E. Cheese mouse faced a tough gig market. The only taker was a sketchy pizza joint, far from city lights, with a customer count even daylight couldn’t find. It’s the squeakiest career move we’ve ever seen, but hey, he’s a survivor!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Our buddy’s been through the wringer, shedding pounds like a champion dieter. If you need proof of life’s trials, here’s our post-apocalyptic mascot, a stark reminder. So, take a cue, folks, and savor your smiles while they’re still plump and plenty!

#28 Just when you thought they were beans

Prepare for the reveal: those aren’t beans on your plate; it’s a tic-tac and wiener masterpiece! We must be brave enough to sample it, but we’d bet our last dollar it’s not the next culinary sensation. It’s a taste adventure we’re happy to skip!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Tasting them would be memorable, but not in a good way. This is a crime against food, and whoever thought of this should be thrown in jail and never let out for as long as they are alive because who knows what other atrocities they might commit.

#29 This could be served in a state fair

Picture this: you, in the fridge-foraging frenzy, cobbling together a meal that might as well be a Duolingo drumstick. If you’ve crossed paths with that language-learning owl, you get it. It’s a culinary adventure or a linguistic mishap; either way, you’re in for a ride!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Whoever prepared this probably got fed up with the bird reminding him that it was time to resume his Spanish lessons because he’d been missing a month. All those notifications and reminders can get irritating. We should know we’ve been receiving them.

#30 Hipster restaurants be like

Hipster eateries: where culinary wizardry and eccentric serving styles collide. From tacos in tiny wheelbarrows to soup in teacups, they’re cooking up a storm of quirky. It’s all part of the plan to pull you in because, you know, hipster hype relies on chatter and good food, too!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

If this doesn’t drive people through the door because of curiosity, at the very least, we don’t know what will—serving eggs on a clothesline? That’s as original and wild as things can get and will undoubtedly put your restaurant in the limelight.

#31 We only hope this Furby talks

At the risk of sounding ancient, we’ll happily tell anyone that Furby was one of our favorite toys growing up. The robotic creation by Tiger Electronics was released in 1989, can be bought in different colors, and quickly became a must-have for kids everywhere.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

What you see above is the alien and uncool version of Furby. This pillow better talk, or else you will have wasted your money buying it. Fun fact: In 1999, the National Security Agency banned the toy from its headquarters because it might unintentionally record classified information.

#32 Forky’s buff cousin

It’s safe to say that this plank is either on steroids or has been working out religiously to achieve such a buff but unsettling physique. We can’t help but chuckle at someone on the ‘net who pointed out that this looks like one ripped French fry.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Enter the internet’s nonsensical hall of fame! It’s pure wackiness, but somehow, it’s brilliance. Let’s roll with the goofiness and brainstorm all the kooky associations this cheerful yellow character triggers. Who knew the world of random could be this hilariously entertaining?

#33 Fancy this for breakfast?

Coco Pops is the breakfast classic that’s loved by kids and adults alike. It’s been a morning delight for generations. Remember when you couldn’t wait to dig into a bowl of chocolaty goodness? Good times! Now, would you try them with mayo? A taste adventure awaits!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

So, once upon a time, they were called Coco Krispies across the pond, but then they decided to hop on the US cereal train. We’re all for trying new flavors, but Coco Pops with mayo? Nope, those impostors look more like bunny droppings than breakfast!

#34 Michael Jackson reincarnation

If the King of Pop were to be reincarnated as a Simpson character, this is what he would look like. One look and you’ll know it’s him; there’s no mistaking the nose, cheekbones, and chin. Would he still be able to do the moonwalk?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

We’d like to know because his character would significantly contribute to the show. He could teach the family a few of his dance tricks. Would Bart be interested? Probably not, but that’s a whole episode in itself we’d like to watch.

#35 Thanos as a pickup truck

If Thanos were to become a pickup truck after wiping out half of the world’s population, this is what he would look like. Yup, there’s no mistaking the Mad Titan’s colossal chin. It’s a giveaway challenging to deny or conceal.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

What’s the deal with this ride? Did the owner want to turn every speed bump into a wild roller coaster ride? And why, oh why, is it so darn ugly? We have a recipe for road rage and significant traffic jams right here!

#36 The ultimate summer shoes

You know those amphibious vehicles, right? The ones that can swim like a fish in water and cruise like a champ on roads. If you’re chillin’ in the bayous of Louisiana, having one of those babies is like having a golden ticket. You’ll be the envy of the swamp!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

This, on the other hand, is the ultimate summer shoe; it works in the mountains and the pool, much like the vehicles we were discussing. With all the absurd inventions people have developed within the past few years, it won’t surprise us if someone starts making these.

#37 The ultimate back to school item

Have you been wondering what to buy your child who’s going back to school soon? We have the perfect gift idea! Yup, you’re looking at the show and bag crossover. You can wear it and use it to store your pencils too. Handy, right?

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

However, we do see a problem with it. It’s not large enough to fit school books. That means if you’re not Big Foot, you’ll still have to bring your school bag. What a shame! Okay, people, back to your tasks; nothing to see here.

#38 This gets a no from us

Certain food combos are so bonkers they’ll make you question if they’re even from this planet. Take pregnant women, for instance. Blame it on the wild hormones, but they whip up the craziest cravings that’d leave anyone else in a culinary quagmire.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Would you fancy having pie with mustard? This gets a NO from us. Mustard belongs in our hotdogs and nowhere else. Others might want to argue with us on that, and they’re welcome to do so, but they won’t change our minds.

#39 Are those baked beans?

In the good old days, Game Boys were the Holy Grail of birthday and holiday wishes. Who could resist the charm of the GBA (Game Boy Advance), a sixth-generation game console that rocked our gaming world? It was like holding a pocket-sized treasure chest full of adventures!

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

Gift someone this version of the device, and they will unfriend and ignore you for life. When they see you, they’ll cross the street to avoid you. Heck, they will pretend you don’t exist for having the audacity to put baked beans in such an unusual package.

#40 This guy’s wrist must hurt

If you’re looking for something thick, we have just the thing, but we need to warn you that this will give you unbearable wrist pain. Look at the size of it and feel your hands and wrists wince in pain.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

It’s the perfect gift for that friend who likes wearing grills and chains. This should complete their outfit. Why settle for subtle and small watch faces when you can wear something that doubles as a weapon when someone robs you?

#41 Such a cute top….not

If you didn’t look closely, you would be among a handful of people who thought this was a cute top. What’s wrong with this picture? Is it the overall buckles? Are bikini tops supposed to have them that big? No.

Image courtesy of s***ghosts/Instagram

A more in-depth inspection reveals that whoever sports this outfit is like a walking candy wonderland. Be ready for a potential ant picnic or a sweet-toothed sour belt monster attack. In any case, good luck to the candy connoisseur in this delightful attire!
