Weekly #497 - Make us laugh! Competition

This is a fantastic set of fun images. Thank you all so much for your submission. You made my evening! I will follow through with the promise, and pick a winner based primarly on the amount of laughter it got out of me, though I must say, you all made me giggle.


My dirty mind chooses : Don't stare Edith, by Davidtrout. Over to you David.
2nd place - "Happy" – really? by Mudge – stupidity always amuses, even while deep inside it makes you sad;
3rd place - Told you he was to heavy, by Ken390 – so does 'morbid fun'

Every single other image reserves an honorary mention. Thank you again!

1. "Happy" - really? by Mudge
Wow...how can the irony of this escape, whomever came up with and authorize that sign! I would not want to see their version of a 'non happy' one!

2. Sharing a joke, by Perspicador
What a lovely thought. You made me realize that I have absolutely no idea if the concept of 'sens of humours' is something we can assume animals posses to some extend? Except, cats; but they are not animals; they are gods. Good one!

3. 3 men on a bike, by Pipinmels - three men, a ladder, another ladder, a bucket full of stuff, a bag, another bag hanging so close to the wheel it probably acts as a brake It's funny to us, and I'm somehow very sure, they were more then happy that they did not have to walk or pay a bus fare. If you zoom in on their faces, they seem in equal part embarassed and amused at themselves.

4. Let Them Eat Brains, by i-Berg – the pretty zombie seems to love the sun haha. I'm afraid, humanity has a limited supply of brains that can be eaten Well taken.

5. Not taking it seriously, by AndrewA - does that count as a photo bomb? Love it, truly made me giggle!

6. Don't stare Edith, Davidtrout - great street capture...and fast. What can I say David...I am Edith You win!

7. The Jogger, Nigelk - ran straight into 'trouble' . Awesome. Not sure I want to know what the photographer was doing there?

8. An invitation to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, by JAK – that is quite a trio! The policeman seems pleased, the other gentleman quite weary, which judging by the somewhat evil grin on the lady's face, is not without a good reason!

9. What?? You never seen a bird on a cat? By Carol8345 – hahaha...the kitty looks surprisingly subdued and the dove, well...it's one innocent looking dove! Great!

10. Sheila attempts a headlock on Duggie, by MikeinDevon - if it wasn't for the title I would actually be inclined to think he is in proper pain, that's until you notice the amused lad in the back

11. Mickey Mouse fan shares his drink by David13 – that's adorable. Not sure mommy will agree though! Well spotted!

12. I need to take a pee! By go4it – you managed to influence my perception of the scene with the title extremely well haha...and I have a wild imagination. I'll refrain from commenting any further Super capture.

13. What the Foot? By Crossed-up – I can only hope he wasn't actually driving at the time! Nicely shot.

14. Little and Large – brilliant idea and super shot. Very Laurel and Hardy or as we call them in Poland, Flip and Flap.

15. Watering the Flowers by GlynM – don't you just love children – making sure the job gets done 'properly'. Lovely!

16. Peeping Tom? By Simonmac – great street photo and a suiting title; poor fella. Hopefully he'll never see this

17. I told you he was too heavy, by ken2390 – fantastic title and capture; if you don't die from injuries during the drive, you can rest assured you'll be brought to the docs on time He seems to have lost one light, too hahaha.

18. No hitch hiking thank you. By Noelcmn - strong message Not surprised Charlie got a lot of stares.

Cheers. Looking forward to Yours, David.

That was fun this week, well done to everyone!

Thank you Mag, and congrats to David, Mudge and Ken.

Thanks Magdalena for giving us a fun packed competition and for judging it. Thanks for my win (or is it the poison chalice?) and well done to my fellow podium occupants Mudge and Ken.
This competition proves what I've always believed about street photography - the title is as important as the photograph.
David

Thanks for a great competition, that was fun.
Cheers!

A great selection of photos this week. Well done all.

I'm sure I have seen that winning image before, and as then, so now, cracks me up! What a great moment captured. Congratulations David, worthy winner. And extended to the other podium places. Wonderful challenge, I certainly needed some laughs. Thanks a ton Mag07, for the challenge and the judging exercise- as always appreciated.

Thank you!

An interesting exercise in what is humorous!

Well done for picking a winner and places as I would have struggled!

Thank you for my placing. Great shots all round., and well done all.Glad to see humour is appreciated by many. It lost the blue light going under a low bridge on two wheels.

Not a poison chalice David And you are right about the title being as important as the image. I never really gave it much thought until now. We learn something every day.



Thank you one more time everyone.

Thanks for 2nd place Mag !
And congratulations to everyone else who entered this fun topic, particularly the other podium winners

Many thanks Magdalena for an excellent competition with a great element of fun.

Congratulations to David for the well deserved win, the runners up and everyone else for another fantastic set of images.
