But, sometimes, perfect timing or just plain old shenanigans can make us jump out of our seats with a resounding "HA!" We appreciate the quirky, quippy t-shirts that are displayed proudly as the camera does a quick pan by the sports crowd. Our eyebrows raise at freeze frames which reveal small, lesser-known details about our favorite shows.
Surreal subtitles are always good for a laugh and those working the title boards at news stations or creating the descriptive blurbs for movies-on-demand amuse us with their clever semantics. Or, perhaps, by falling asleep on the job and using their snoring face to create an incoherent string of letters where a popular television personality's name should go. Thankfully, someone has captured tons of these moments in hilarious screenshots.

Some of these are just plain awful photoshops. They don't even take the time to make it look real, especially the King of the Hill one and the Mike Litoris one.

I have to agree with you, some of these are just kinda cheesy. But just to let you know... King of the Hill ISNT real, it really is just a cartoon. It took me a few episodes to figure that out too, so don't worry it happens to the best of us ;)

The King of the Hill photo was not photoshopped, the frame appears in the episode where Hank's son Bobby takes sex ed.

Since the image of the woman choosing an elephant as larger than the moon is a fake, as the very link provided here explains, it would not seem to belong in what purports to be a collection of actual on-screen gaffes.

Nope the elephant picture is real. It was on Who wants to be a millionaire. I actually saw this one. It was awful.I think Meredith Veira just wanted her to drop thru the floor. This, by the way, was the very first (and last too) question.

Jean, I fear your memory has played you false. Unless someone has deceived Snopes with a reverse-doctored Photoshop gag – by doctoring a photo in such a way as to make it LESS comical – the facts can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/gameshows/millionaire.asp  It seems the actual stumper involved the trachea, a question I would have gotten right, since that is both my area of study and a target of opportunity in my sport. But then, I wouldn't have gotten that question: I'd have gotten one on, say, basketball, a sport about which I know and care nothing. And I'm sure I'd have looked just as foolish as this woman was THOUGHT to have been to anyone who DID know the sport. BTW, the woman in that picture actually won $35,000, so I'm sure she is able to be a good sport about the doctored photo.

Am I missing something with the picture just below the Lindsey Lohan movie description? I've stared at this picture for a few minutes and can't seem to find what is supposed to be funny...

i agree matt, i don't understand/see what's so funny about the picture below the lindsay lohan one either, with the mom holding the baby making waffles... also, what's so funny about the lady in black & white with the black & white kitchen, she's just holding a drink and licking her lips, so what...???

Maybe you have already found out what was supposed to be funny but in case you haven't; it says Lindsay becomes disoriented and delusional in the hospital of the movie, but she is also disoriented and delusional in real life. Since she is delusional in the movie, the movie in this case simulated real life.

Matt, maybe you're missing just how close that baby is to becoming a waffle?

It would be nice if all of these were real; otherwise it's just a waste of time.

The comcast ones seem real to me, actually. I don't have Comcast, but I do have on demand, and FearNet On Demand has a habit of writing quirky, funny, sarcastic synopses of their on demand films, mostly because their movies are B-grade horror.

The comcast ones are real. I remember reading at least 2 of them myself on my on demand screens. I LOL a lot when I read those things.

Believe it or not,the Comcast ones are real lol. A lot of the OnDemand movies and some of the ones on TV have smart assed snarky descriptions. Some will even tell you if the movie is bad and will straight up call the movie a "snooze fest" or "lacking". I remember the remade version of The Hitcher was on a while back and the description said something like "thumbs down on this awful remake...."

The screen shot after the weather man with the floating head was on Intervention. I remember seeing that a while back and it was sad because she really needed help stopping inhalant abuse, but OMFG her voice was soooooo funny and on top of that she had those bugged out eyes too! I'm sorry but if you see it you will see what I mean.
The rapist's sketch behind the reporter is crazy lol.
