Data Comedy: 35+ Serious Stats And Silly Graphs

When hilarious memes are mentioned, we usually think of funny pictures and even funnier one-liners. Nobody envisions mathematical equations or complicated charts with labels, but you’d be surprised just how they can combine gospel truth with side-splitting comedy. Fun and charts may seem like they don’t belong together, but we’re here to prove you wrong.

Good content comes from many places, even those you least expect. An online group called ‘Funny Charts’ is a happening space where users post creative yet hilarious graphs and charts that add a pinch of meme knowledge and humor to data. It is a helpful method of memorizing something difficult or learning something that doesn’t interest you. Take a look for yourself, and thank us later!

Just got dark

Releasing butterflies at a wedding seems to be an excellent idea, but it is something that people have already done to death. Frankly, the novelty has worn off. We feel the same about releasing doves, but pigeons, not so much. It’s not that common.

Things take a serious turn after the mention of wasps and prisoners. Releasing wasps still looks possible, although it’s gonna cause a lot of chaos, but releasing prisoners is just out of the question! And, of course, releasing the Kraken is something that’s never been tried.

Easy-to-understand

Since time immemorial, it hasn’t been easy for the general population to understand the things written by doctors. Have you seen their handwritten prescriptions? Only pharmacists and nurses seem able to decipher them with ease. But stop worrying because we have something that’ll help you out. But don’t thank us yet.

By referring to this chart, you can easily comprehend everything a doctor writes, alphabet by alphabet. There’s no need for a medical expert to help decipher the code anymore. But then again, when you look closely, you’ll realize that every alphabet seems the same, and it’s all gibberish. Fortunately, most prescriptions are now computerized.

Facts

More valid words have never been spoken, and there has not been a chart that has thrown the gospel around like this one. The fact is that sleeping eight hours is essential, regardless of who you are or what you do, and sleeping at night is the healthier option.

But there are two kinds of people: those who sleep at night like most and those who sleep in the morning. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean they are lazy because many work the graveyard shift. One thing’s true: getting the labels mixed up is easy, and it’s challenging to differentiate hardworking folks from lazy ones.

Hilarious!

There’s some more gospel for you because this pie chart pretty much nails it by mentioning the exact words that come out of a person’s mouth every time they try on somebody’s prescription glasses. All the time, it is always the same thing!

Although people tend to exaggerate, we urge them to think before saying anything because most don’t make sense. If a person can see through the glasses, although they’re strong, how does it make anybody blind? We know you’re shaking your head, but we don’t get it either.

Do’s and don’ts

Well, this is something that should be seriously followed at all workplaces. We have no problem with people eating fish. After all, it’s healthy, but the only issue is the odor of the fish, which most cannot stand. It makes a room stink to the high heavens.

So, you can still eat fish, but it should resemble what’s in the guide above. Any other fish won’t do. This prevents others from complaining about unpleasant smells that ruin their appetites and helps keep the good spirits in the office. To avoid confusion, it’s better to eat zero fish at work.

Truth

Aside from being cute that all you want to do is pinch their cheeks; kids can be very funny, too. But we urge you to ask why they are funny. Is it because they crack jokes that make sense? This chart tries to explain why little ones make us laugh.

It also highlights a reality folks are ashamed to admit. The biggest reason why we all end up having a good laugh is because they’re stupid. No offense meant there because it has always been that way. Even when we were kids, we were stupid.

Reality check

There are so few words here, but they have an impact. We have got many intense reality checks on this list. Speaking on behalf of many people, this chart stresses the fact that irrespective of the position you sleep in, the sleep quality is poor.

And that problem troubles a huge chunk of our world’s workforce. The solutions are pretty straightforward, but people have difficulty following all those things. Baby steps always help, so try the no-gadget rule an hour before you hit the sack. We hope you get a good night’s sleep.

Tutorial

Turning off the ceiling fans operating on strings can be tricky and frustrating. Sometimes, it might also make you want to pull your hair out. There isn’t a better way of explaining our feelings whenever we attempt turning it off than the chart you see below.

It is simply a series of failed attempts followed by waiting for a while to go for another failed attempt until you all but lose your mind. But then, do you give up? No, you try again until you get the hang of it and successfully turn off the fan.

Keeping it simple

We keep it simple: we lie to people by saying that we floss regularly, but guess what? We only floss when we feel like it or remember to do it. There’s no better way to show our schedule than this chart. Yup, that’s us all right.

But, all jokes aside, it is very important to floss because forgetting to do so will take a toll on your dental health. Such problems must be avoided because they can be pretty expensive, especially if you don’t have insurance. The moral of the story is to floss regularly.

Explains it

Nobody would ever look at a pie this way, but this has to be the simplest and most accurate explanation of a pie chart. Also, you can see how authentic it is. It is a pie that explains how a pie chart works. Need we say more?

We have yet to find anyone who would like to argue about this picture. We are sure anyone will find arguing with this pie chart difficult. Don’t you? To the person who came up with this concept, well played. You’re a genius!

Easy

For those who only know a few genres of music and forget or get confused about all the others, study this chart once. Pay attention to what’s on it because it can change your life. It will make you grasp things about music.

This is a very basic yet funny and accurate explanation of songs in specific genres of music. We love how they broke everything down to the nitty-gritty and find it hilarious how jazz is the only genre that has a 36-minute-long song.

Pain

Once you start using MS Word frequently, you’ll get the hang of it but even then, you’re still bound to mess up occasionally. You’re not alone, we’ve all been there. It gets even more complicated If you’re new, and moving pictures will drive you crazy.

It’s very tricky, but just be patient. When you think about it though, it is really funny that this has been an issue for the past 30 years and there are no attempts at a resolution by the supposed experts. It looks like even they can’t solve this problem.

Well…

The last thing we want is Zeus’ wrath upon us, but this pie chart sums up the causes of problems in Greek myths excellently. After all, he has a habit of bedding women he fancies without thinking of the repercussions. Yes, he likes sowing his wild oats.

The other reasons pail in comparison to Zeus’ constant womanizing. Now, we understand why his wife Hera is always in a bad mood, but she should take out her anger on her husband, not the poor helpless women he has deceived.

Simple flow

That is basically how life works. When you are wide awake in the middle of the night like an owl, even when you have to go to the office the following day, you won’t feel tired or sleepy. But guess what? You should be asleep.

Similarly, the next day, when you are at the office, working on an important thing for the past 4 hours sitting at the same desk, that’s probably when you’d be very sleepy, to the point that you’d pass out any time. But guess what? You shouldn’t be sleeping at that moment.

Humor

If you have been studying math or working on graphs for a long time, you are the best person to relate to a hilarious mathematical meme like this. It’s perfect for taking your mind off things for a while, and it will put a smile on your face.

If you sit in the center of the distribution, then you’d probably be a part of the spookiest percentile! Also, paranormal sightings like this are probably full of ‘sheet,’ right? This cannot be a Gaussian distribution because it is a Ghostian distribution. Was our attempt at a joke halfway decent?

Cat’s call

This single flowchart is enough for you to understand how cats think fully. We know that’s a nearly impossible task, but at least this is a decent try. If you get something for them, and more importantly, when they understand that this thing is meant for them, they will lose all interest in it.

Similarly, when you get something new in the house that is strictly not for the cat, and they realize this, that’s when they’re gonna put all their energy into laying their paws on it. Understand that when this happens, all hell breaks loose.

A new perspective

We know the camera’s purpose, and most folks have used them at least once. They help us memorialize the most important events of our lives. In a nutshell, they are magical and miraculous items. Those who would disagree with this graph would say that we have to change our definition of a miracle.

To be honest, it’s not even up for competition because a camera can capture anything while an app like PhotoShop can alter the images. PhotoShop can be a lifesaver sometimes, but if you wanna capture an absolute miracle, you need a camera!

Question

This will be very useful for people who are bad at geography and those who can’t determine the places that make up the British Isles. Yes, we know it’s very confusing, but this chart attempts to make things more straightforward and comprehensible.

Looking at this, we have a better picture of the UK. The last thing we want to admit is that we don’t know Wales from Scotland, but knowing that we are not alone in this predicament gives us the courage to admit it and be honest with ourselves.

Merry Christmas

This time of the year is supposed to be the most wonderful regardless of age, but it can also be the most stressful due to family reunions. As much as we like seeing family again, there are certain people we would rather forget forever.

Kidding aside, there are many things to look forward to, such as delicious food and stories. However, the average adult may find it challenging to navigate the excitement and the realization that the days of childhood are over. At least there are drinks to look forward to!

Meeting flow

You can accept or deny it, but this is how presenting works in a meeting. Nobody is paying attention because everyone is just waiting for the meeting to be over as soon as possible. They’re all looking at their watches and wondering what’s taking so long.

While everybody else is feigning interest, the presenter is going through a series of emotions, including panic, hyperventilation, and worry that they’ll botch things. Things then start getting less intense, which is followed by confidence in most cases.

Work problems

The first thing you’ll notice in the chart is the consistency of the energy levels during work, as well as the steep incline right before work commences and right after the shift. The energy levels are a solid 0.5 throughout the entire shift.

The desire to work tanks so severely that the graph cannot record the decline sufficiently. Even the clarity of eyesight becomes an issue, too. Snacks are the only thing steadily inclining during work, which is not good either, but the truth is people are always hungry at work.

Emails

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this because a clear subject line is one of the most important aspects of writing an email, especially when you are in sales. Without a good subject line, it’s highly likely that people will send the email straight to junk, and what a wasted opportunity that is!

Notice how nobody edits what they write? We know this could be somewhat of an exaggeration, but if you haven’t spent time editing, now is the best time to do so. It is good to give things another read. Refinement will help you avoid embarrassment.

Traffic scenarios

Before we even get to the vehicles, we have to say that traffic sucks and is annoying. What’s even worse is that it is increasing daily, and there seems to be no solution. Like tax, it’s something we have to live with. Anyways, various vehicles complicate things on the road even more.

You must be careful around bikes, cars, and motorcycles because this chart isn’t lying. They will run you over without second thoughts. Do you see how bikes and motorcycles smoothly venture into the ‘traffic rules don’t apply’ area? Nothing more needs to be said.

Packaging issues

You know how it works. You have to choose two out of the three options that you see below. For instance, if what you ordered has not broken, and if it has been stolen, you never received it so that you can get a new one.

It would’ve been so nice if you could get all three things. But, in most cases, that’s not the scenario. On the other hand, getting two out of the three things in this chart is more than enough to give you a temporary feeling of satisfaction.

Anxiety

People tend to get anxious when no one picks up their call because they must leave a message for the person they tried calling. The tricky part is leaving a message. This is when our brains stop functioning, and we no longer know what we’re doing.

What do most folks end up doing when they leave a message? Many filler words, random background noises, forgetting the actual message and even the names, apologizing for leaving a long message, and giving a big non-answer. We won’t deny it; we’ve done this more than once.

Monopoly sessions

When you play this game, you try your best to purchase as many properties as possible so you can rent them out to other players and make more money. And it all goes well for the first few rounds, and you slowly start losing money and properties.

Although you’re aware it’s only a game, interpersonal conflict inevitably happens between all the players for no serious reason. Also, the wish to never play the game again steadily increases as you progress, especially if you aren’t winning. Don’t lie; you feel the same, too.

Sleep patterns

A few things are very helpful in making you fall asleep. However, some people do things without knowing if they will benefit them or not in the pursuit of falling asleep faster. This chart accurately represents that. You know this is right. Don’t even argue.

Out of all the things people do when they lie down, closing their eyes only helps them fall asleep! All the overthinking, worrying, TV, and gadget usage will only make sleep elude you more. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Dictionary

This is the dictionary that kids use to insult other kids. Nothing has changed because we used the same kinds of insults when we were younger, as did the generation before us and even our parents, but it’s still quite hilarious.

It’s almost as if nothing has changed, and only one edition of said dictionary exists. Is it being secretly passed down and spread worldwide? That is a good reason for very little evolution in this space. Something new has to happen. Someone needs to shake things up.

WiFi

These are straight-up facts. Times have changed, and although many things have changed, most have remained the same. WIFI, however, is a different story. Nowadays, it’s indispensable and has become a basic need for most folks, whether for work or TikTok. We see you rolling your eyes!

We see nothing wrong with this because people must adjust to the changing times. However. we’d much rather see people, especially youngsters, using it for research or work instead of posting dance steps on social media profiles, which makes them look like they forgot to take their meds.

Breathe

Even those who don’t do yoga regularly can relate to this because, at some point, it does become so exhausting. Regular practitioners might not have such a difficult time and might have other thoughts, but overall, it is exhausting.

The trainers tend to count very slowly, especially when you’re doing an impossible pose, and that is the worst part. They’re testing your flexibility when you want things to be over quickly. If you’ll get better at it, you have to grin and bear it.

Accurate representation

Since COVID, Zoom calls and virtual meetings have significantly increased to the point that you don’t need to go to the office anymore. You’re still attending meetings throughout the day, but at least a screen separates you from everyone else.

Things remain the same, and most people still don’t talk much during Zoom meetings. Most of the time, senior officials and decision-makers do all the talking. What do most folks do? They zone out or stare at their faces on the screen.

Complex

We took a good look at this graph, and it seems that this is a rather complex one compared to the rest, but we can still vouch for it when we say it is still accurate. Processing might take a little more time, but patience is a virtue.

The green line in the graph is the simplest to understand, and it’s probably the only thing people focused on. No matter how much house cleaning must be done, many folks only want to drink and perhaps relax. That’s why the yellow line sits at the bottom.

Actual usage

Paperclips have a genuine purpose, and everyone knows what that is—however, only a few people use them for their actual purpose. The majority play with it and throw it away once they’re no longer entertained, while a select few use it to secure bread bags.

This chart explains what we’re trying to tell you. Only approximately 10% of the population tries to secure documents with a paperclip. It is pretty easy to turn them into an ‘S,’ and it is also a very satisfying thing to do.

Simple definition

Context is required, so don’t worry; we’re here to help you. As you can see, this is the map of Australia, but the labeling on this is according to British people. For those unaware, convicts and undesirables were sent to the southern hemisphere long ago.

According to Brits, the country is divided into six cell blocks instead of states. So, if you are reading and you are an Australian, which block are you from? We’d love to know what your answer is. Are you from the Northern Territory or Cell Block B?

In your face

This is for sports fanatics, especially football. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans, we are looking at you. The United States of America is the clear winner here. Nobody can compete with them when it comes to the number of Super Bowl football championships they have won. Nobody is even arguing.

Come to think of it, the game would be much more exciting and experience a steep increase in its viewership if the rest of the world starts competing here. Then again, the rest of the world enjoys watching what Americans call ‘soccer.’

Universal Truth

Except for a select few, this chart represents the reality of how all men shower worldwide. Men would deeply scrub and clean the areas in red, and they’d just let the water take care of all the remaining areas of their bodies. That’s how they can shower in less than five minutes.

The palms and the feet are almost white, which means they are the least of men’s priorities. They don’t even care if those areas get cleaned by water or not because the presumption is those areas are clean by default. This shows how simple the world is from a man’s perspective.

Believe always

There is always a tiny belief that you can fly, and there is nothing odd about it because the idea has been instilled into the brains of people since childhood, thanks to Hollywood superhero movies like Superman and R. Kelly singing the chorus repeatedly.

This might be a little challenging for people who don’t live in the United States, where there is a margarine brand called ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Folks say it’s a very good margarine, but it’s not butter, and you better believe it. Now, we’d like to try it.

Easy peasy

Everybody knows the alphabet, but not everyone knows the syllables in each letter. If you are from a country where English is the first language, you’d have an idea; otherwise, it might be a little complicated, but the chart below will help you.

This is a simple way to understand how the letters and their syllables work. Every letter in the alphabet only has one syllable apart from the letter ‘W.’ It is the only letter with more than one syllable in all alphabets. 3, to be precise. Did you double-check the letters silently, too?

Extremely helpful

These are all extremely common excuses, but even if you have never used them before, this list will be your best friend. It can help you get out of many difficult situations, so keep a copy handy. You can never be sure when you might need it.

Just pick one from every column, sum it up, and there you go; you have an excellent excuse to skip an emergency meeting and enjoy those few hours of freedom with your friends and loved ones. Be confident when you state these excuses, which is a very important factor.

Lose Yourself

You can argue with us, but Eminem is a legendary rapper, and Lose Yourself is probably one of his best tracks ever. It is a song that instantly fuels you with rage and motivation. Listening to it one time could charge you up for a 6-hour work session.

But, of course, it is a rap song, so not everybody will be well-versed with the lyrics. You’ll surely know some lines from the chorus, but otherwise, it’s going to sound like a bunch of gibberish. However, real rap fans know exactly what Eminem is saying.

Zzz…

Some days, you feel so tired that you fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow or a part of your body hits the bed. The thoughts that crowd your mind seem to fade away during those times because you are exhausted, and the body needs rest.

But what about those days when you do not feel so sleepy? It’s just another day of work; you’re going to bed, you are only a little tired, and you cannot fall asleep quickly. Well, that’s when these cycles of thoughts kick in. It does get frustrating.

I want all of it

Canadians would have a good laugh on this one, but if you do not know what happened in 2012, let us tell you. Before that year, you should know that there have been 0 maple syrup-related crimes from 2002 to 2011.

Over many months from 2011 to 2012, around 9,571 barrels of maple syrup were stolen. The incident is called the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. It was suspected to be an insider job, and the value of the goods was a whopping C$18.7 million.

Step-by-step

There are two types of people in this world – the ones who can control their anger and those who cannot keep their anger in control. One question is very commonly asked in the second category: how can they calm down and stop themselves from panicking?

From a humorous perspective, this chart has the answer. More than that, it depicts how people usually calm down. To summarize, it includes a few breathing exercises, some overthinking, self-dates, an endless supply of wine, and then just repeating the entire process.

Expectations and realities

Science class was boring for most of us except those who were the teachers’ favorites. You indeed wanted to learn about things that would be useful in life after school, like how to keep a houseplant alive or how to manage your finances.

But, it looks like life had different plans for all of us, so we learned about the mitochondria, cells, bunsen burners, and the fact that our crushes don’t like us back. Everything would have been fine if only the latter weren’t true. Yup, Christina is the one who got away.

The real problem

Apps crashing is highly frustrating. You are intensely engrossed in it, maybe scrolling, playing a game, or watching a funny video, and suddenly it closes. When you try opening it again, it won’t budge. You feel like smashing the phone or throwing it in the thrash.

You remember you must control yourself. Sometimes, there are genuine problems within the code and software or network, but most of the time, it is just because of all the ads. Those pesky ads are the bane of all app users.
