A photoshop battle is when a picture that has been posted in a forum gets altered in a specific way that gives the said picture another, usually more amusing, meaning. From politics to celebrities, no one is safe in a true photoshop battle, but it is usually animals that give us some of the best entries. Figuring out what the story is behind the original pictures can be rather ungratifying sometimes. Let us have a look at some of the funniest photoshop battle participants and perhaps we will get to know the characters within the altered photos just a little bit better.
1. "I have built my organization upon fear"
In 2020 Al Catpone was the kingpin of the world's most notorious catnip smugglers. There was not a single cat across the country that was willing to get in his way.
It turns out he was his own worst enemy. He was a cat of excess and just could not keep his paws off of the merchandise. In the end, the smokes got him. He was going through three packs of smoked salmon a day.
2. Im'possum'ble!
Paulie found himself in a very impossumble situation when he woke up on the beach and was five hundred feet tall.
He really did not mean to scare these villagers away. He was just hoping to find someone to help him and maybe get him something to eat. An apple the size of a car would be great.
3. "No, look harder"
After helping Simba retake Pride Rock from Scar, Rafiki was tired of living life in constant peril. It was time for him to move on. It was time for him to follow his passions and find his true calling in life.
Rafiki packed up and moved to a land called England where he assumed the persona of a French model. This led to a very lucrative modeling career. He was last heard to have boarded an unsinkable ship to America in efforts to further his career.
4. Barking Up The Wrong Tree
He played professional basketball for the better part of two decades and left fans in awe of his raw power and emotion. In 1997, the world was gifted with his inspiring performance in 'Steel'. Now, after many long years, Shaquille O'Neal is gracing the big screen with his talents once more.
Coming soon to theatres everywhere is a film that is not only for those in need of holiday cheer but also for sports fans everywhere. In this epic tale, Shaq is turned into a Christmas tree in order to rediscover his roots and find the true meaning of the holiday. (This film is rated PG so there will be no kissing under that mistletoe.)
5. Perfect 10!
Coming from a very slow-moving family, Sally Sloth never quite felt like she fit in. Once she discovered how fast she could move on skates everything changed for Sally.
Just look at that poise. That grace. Sally finally found her calling once she met her skating partner. Three Olympics later, the rest is history.
6. Retrieving Christmas Spirit
T'was the night before Christmas and what did he see, but smiling and hopeful faces decorating a Shaq Christmas tree. His barks and his growls were all to no avail, as all those around could see his wagging grinch tail.
Three sizes larger his heart grew that day, the day that the Whos of Whoville brought him to the park to play.
7. Jazz Hands
Perhaps the real reason why Donald does not get along with Hillary very well is because of a deep rooted jealousy of her husband's next level saxophone skills.
It is amazing how he still finds the time to practice, but it seems that someone forgot to tell Donald that the bars are still closed.
8. Macrondalf The French
In the depths of the English Channel Macrondalf, The French have fought for three long years to protect the people of Francia.
From the dense grassy fields of the Loire Valley to the snow covered peaks of Mont Blanc, Macrondalf The French has done what he has deemed to be for the betterment of each journey that has come along so unexpectedly.
9. Mind Over Matter
This Korean weightlifter's face is evidence of the difficulties of the sport. Perhaps Travolta should have more respect for the competitors.
This monk has truly mastered the art of mind over matter. Not even Vinny Barbarino himself could throw him off his game.
10. "That Acorn Was Mine!"
Yellow Ears was not like every other squirrel. He had aspirations to be great at any cost. He refused to let anyone pick on him and when this man stole some of his food he did something he may learn to regret.
Similar to the unwritten rules that people have about interacting with animals in the wild, squirrels have similar rules for not interfering with the lives of people. I sure hope that his people understand that he was just doing what he needed to do.
11. Helping Hand
After promising that he wouldn't spoil his appetite, Jason said he was just going over to a friend's place for a tea party and would only eat a few little cakes.
I knew that Alice was bad news. Jason has been jabbering on about being late for an important date of some kind ever since he got back. He sure does come in handy at dinner parties when we can't find the bottle opener though.
12. Forcing Friendship
What many people don't know is that long before the clone wars had begun Qui Gon and Darth Maul actually used to work together at Obi Wan's art gallery.
It was actually their contrasting artistic opinions that caused the rift that tore them apart.
13. Rex, is that you?
When Oscar was told that his people would be taking him over to the neighbor's place for a bbq he was not quite ready for what was being served.
His best friend Meyer was still not back from his afternoon walk and needless to say when presented with his first hot dog, he was little bit concerned.
14. Watch For The Rocket
'Hello and welcome to Wario's Stadium for the World Tournament Edition of kart racing. It has been a long time coming but for one night only we have the most fiercely competitive group of racers to ever grace these tracks.'
'Yoshi and Peach are leading the pack coming into the final lap but hold on, here comes Luigi followed closely behind by Wario and Waluigi. Don't look now but Kim is taking the outside shoulder and is making his move. All the other racers can only hope that his rocket doesn't reach them in time.'
15. The Bear Necessaties
'The Vladimir' leads a very stressful life. He is constantly having to speak with people whom he does not want to speak with and do things that he does not want to do. That's why it's so nice when he's able to get away and partake in one of his favorite past times.
Learning to ride bears in his mid 30s was just one of the things that Vladimir had done in order to keep himself grounded. Putin has been taking Yogi out for wilderness rides and salmon fishing for as long us he could remember.
16. Pre Malone
Before he was Post Malone he was Austin Richard Post from Syracuse, New York. At nine years old he and the family moved to Texas where the family pet became his main source of inspiration.
Without Snoopy the Dogg in his life pre Malone, there is no way of knowing if he still would have ended up feeling just like a rockstar.
17. Not So 7th Heaven
When Frank and Molly first got married they were overjoyed with the prospect of starting a family together. There were no limits to what they were able to achieve together. When Molly got pregnant it seemed as though all of their dreams were coming true.
Day 1: "Oh, it's going to be so wonderful having seven beautiful babies in our lives... Day 123: "Wow, they're starting to crawl, they sure do grow up fast." Day 366: "Letting the kids play 'Lord of the Flies' was a bad idea."
18. "I've Come To Bargain"
When Doctor Strange showed up with the desire to strike a deal with Catmammu he had to think long and hard as to what he could offer this finicky feline.
The good doctor promised that, if set free, he would return one day to help catch the elusive red dot that keeps showing up on the wall.
19. Retiring In 'Pine' Valley
After crawling around on the forest floors for the better part of two decades and seeing all of her little pocupettes grow up and raise families of their own, it was time for Patty Porcupine to move out west.
Making sure that her fanny pack was full of enough twigs and leaves for the journey, Patty got herself a flashy new walker and relocated herself to Pine Valley.
20. "This Spot's Taken"
For years we have been asking ourselves why Rose did not just move over and make room for Jack on that raft. After all there was plenty of room for one more. Finally, the truth...
Rose had actually rescued the ship's cat from the devestation of the shipwreck. Good luck trying to get that cat anywhere near the water again.
21. "Are You Talkin' To Me"
The 'Bloods' have the 'Crips' and the 'Jets' had the 'Sharks'. Every yin has its yang. Even the 'The Good Feathers' had a rival gang. The Black Crows were some of the toughest fowl around. Very few had the 'gull' to get in their way.
Parks are meant to be a place where all species can co-exist and go about their daily business. When an unsuspecting dog came sniffing around Carl's stash the other day, lines were drawn. Let's just say he wasn't very nuts about the experience.
22. "Call Me Reggie"
At the peak of his travels, Reggie's adventurous demeanor is what set him aside from the rest of the four-legged furry sailors. There was no challenge too great for him and there was nothing that could stop him from leaving his mark on this world.
He would try all possible things and achieve what he could. It was not until returning from his final journey out to sea that he would realize what he had been missing for all these years.
23. Out For A Stroll
One thing that comes with being a celebrity is losing out on the simple things, like the privacy to be able to do the normal things that one does on a daily basis.
Not many activities could give more privacy than taking the family pet out for a walk across the lake.
24. Game of (pine) Cones
Yellow Ears just could not keep what he had done to himself. He was caught bragging to his brother about what he had done to the acorn thief whom he had met earlier. Being nobility, Sammy could not bend the rules, even for family.
At the end of the day rules are rules and "in the game of cones, you either win or you die". Yellow ears will always be remembered for who he was not for what he did.
25. 'He is the lizard king. He can do anything.'
Fifteen minutes is all they said it would take. Just fifteen minutes and he would have been able to save fifteen percent or more on his car insurance but he just could not find the time.
To earn a few extra bucks, he now finds himself headlining Tuesday night open mic nights at the Lizard Lounge where his parents are the only other patrons.
26. Freepawling
Buster used to be one of the more docile pooches in the neighborhood. He would keep to himself when in the yard and would not even bark at the mailman. He even got a little bit of 'stage fright' in public'.
That was until he had a run-in with an unruly bird at the park last week. He has now thrown caution to the wind and is living every moment as it could be his last.
27. Greased Lightening
John Travolta sang and danced his way into the hearts of the world with his performances in the 1970's. He was treated like a star almost everywhere that he went.
Mr. Travolta may have over stepped his fame with this one. Probably not a good idea to sneak up on someone from behind who rides bears for fun in his spare time.
28. Getting The Job Done
No distance is too far and no job is too hard for FedEx Fred. He has always gone above and beyond to ensure that the job gets done.
Even Sith lords need their deliveries on time and there is no one in the galaxy whom they trust more than FedEx Fred.
29. "Stay Here. Stay As Long As You Can"
Fourth grade could be a very tough and transitionary period for a young student. It's no wonder at all that Mr. Madison found it necessary to pick on the new kid.
Billy was clearly intimidated by the fact that there was a student in the class who possibly knew more than he did.
30. Tough Guy, Huh?
After what happened between his pal Buster and one of the Black Crows a few weeks ago, Meyer has been spending a bit more time at the park than usual. He likes to make sure that the other dogs get the respect they deserve.
Understandably, Meyer has been a bit on edge lately. He hasn't seen his pal Oscar for over a month, he's late for the neighborhood bbq and it has taken this waiter way too long to refill his water bowl.
31. 'Back Off Get Your Own Sandwich'
Lionel has been spending a lot more time with a couple of his new friends lately. He did not expect to be home so late but he lost track of time while hanging out with Pre Malone and his Dogg.
Like any good leopard, Lionel was just trying to sneak in quietly and make a little midnight snack. Perhaps his mind was a little foggy from the evening because he did not mean to wake anyone up and he most definitely did not mean to break into the neighbor's house and raid their fridge.
32. Cat Crusader
"They thought they were ready to live in a world without heroes. They thought they could handle the terrors that lurk behind every closed door and in every empty box but right meow, I am the hero they need."
Chasing down every ball of yarn she sees and haunting the dreams of every dog that passes her way, the Cat Crusader will not give in without a fight.
33. Getting Into Trumple
Whether he is leading the nation or out for a casual joyride on his bear, Vladimir Putin always finds the time to reflect over what and who is important to him.
Come on Travolta, we all know it was not your embrace that has been on his mind. After a wonderful four years together it is a different smooth talking American from the 70s that has been on his mind.
34. Flee Bath
Chasing cars and his own tail around all day can get to be a very exhausting way for Zeus to occupy his time. Even he needs to relax sometimes.
Nothing beats a good head massage while unwinding and thinking of how much of a tough time he gave the vet last year.
35. Straight Outta Hawkton
When Henry flew down to California for the summer his parents were worried that he may end up flying with the wrong crowd.
It turns out that they were right to be concerned but what they didn't expect was that he would become the leader of the flock.
36. "Safety Never Takes A Holiday"
Taking a stand and doing what is right is all in a day's work for 'Congress Cop' Blart. He is always on duty and always ready to spring into action.
Never too far from his trusty segway, Paul Blart 'Congress Cop' is always ready to do what needs to be done for the safety of the people.
37. "Anyone Need Saving"
This adorable little guy is very protective of his home on Rottnest Island. He does not take too kindly to strangers who show up with a car of any kind and pollute his homeland.
Better not to mess with this quokka. He and his crew are 'Negan' and will do whatever they need to do in order to survive.
38. That's No Rubber Chew Toy
Getting an annual physical is something that all cats and dogs should be doing in order to ensure long and healthy lives.
In Zeus' case, the vet seems to be harboring some resentment for something that he had done last year.
39. Growing Pains
Spencer Adams was just like every other boy. First grade had just finished and he was getting ready to spend the next few months playing with his friends every day but his parents had their own plans for the school holidays.
He told them that he didn't want to go on a train vacation. He told them that he didn't want to leave his friends for the summer. But they just wouldn't listen would they.
40. Preparing For A New Republic
A long time ago and in a galaxy that seems far far away a young child was rescued from the brink of alienation. He tried time and time again to set the new standard for the old republic.
It was not until centuries later that he would begin anew. In his quest to bring balance to the force Bernie would help to train those who would become the future of the New Republic.
