Believe it or not, but, Tumblr is still around and it's making a strange comeback with the Gen Z crowd. Tumblr may not be the way that millennials may remember it, but deeper in, there are still some posts that would bring up nostalgia. Some new and old posts have emerged and these just remind us just how weird Tumblr was, and can still be. From movie scenes that spark feeling to pictures that just give the internet a field day to work with. It is all here to make you have a feel-good or cringe a little deep down.
Beauty and The Beast
Beauty and The Beast was a great movie to show how important kindness was and how not to judge a book by its cover. Gaston who looked like a handsome prince in the beginning turned out to be the nasty one in the end and The Beast had to learn to be kind again in order to turn back into a prince. Belle was the one to help him do so.
This meme represented that perfectly. Where Gaston said women should not read or else they get ideas and The Beast was happy for Belle to keep on reading to him.
BBC Series
This meme got a whole lot of people commenting “I don’t know. And I really don’t like not knowing” on it. You would lose count if you tried to see how many did comment on this on Tumblr. The lines come from two different movies. The first image is from the Sherlock series and the second is from the Doctor Who series. Both are BBC series and people quickly picked this up.
The funny thing is that Steven Moffat either wrote, produced, or was the showrunner for both of these series. He either forgot he used that line, or it was done purposely.
Hedgehog Dinosaurs
Tumblr does have a scientific side to it, but we would recommend you do not always believe what you see there. Just like this hedgehog chewing on a toy dinosaur and someone claiming that this is how dinosaurs became extinct. And because of how cute this looks, most people on Tumblr would have preferred the extinction of dinosaurs to be because of cute giant hedgehogs and not a massive meteor.
Tumblr has always found a way to make weird images humorous just by the comments left on the posts by people who are quick thinkers. Nothing is as simple as it seems on Tumblr.
Pets
People and their pets never cease to amaze us with their weird posts. Feeling loved by one paw holding onto you seems okay, but when you post another image captioned that you are feeling twice as loved now because you have 2 paws on you, is just pushing it a little too far. And of course, the Tumblr comments just throw it right off the edge, just like this “bae” comment.
Pets just can’t do anything cute without it being put on the internet. And once it is there, it gives people the chance to exploit their cuteness with weird comments.
Fantastic Comebacks
One thing not only Tumblr but the whole internet is good for is picking up on the sexiest lines in movies and the fantastic comebacks that come afterward. This post was made up of a scene from Parks and Recreation, and the cringe comes in when the male comments on women being frail and breakable. But Leslie Knopes comes in and saves the day with a hilarious comeback, standing up for women.
One Tumblr girl commented that she would reblog this every day and we are sure that she is not the only one who feels this way. Many women whole agree too.
Teddy
There are so many questions we have around this picture, but our biggest one would be how did they even get that bear in there like that. We weren’t the only ones who wondered that but of course, the people of Tumblr saw a different issue. When one person asked about the safety of this, another responded about the plastic around the bear's nose, never mind the safety of the person driving the car.
Pets just can’t do anything cute without it being put on the internet. And once it is there, it gives people the chance to exploit their cuteness with weird comments.
Bear
Another strange sight made it to Tumblr and everyone is loving it. This bear does look rather chuffed with itself, as it has a slight grin on its face, but we don't think he really knows that bears do not usually do that. But our trusty Tumblr people ignored the weirdness of this and just went for the cute side of the situation. With his cute grin and proud stance.
This bear does truly look like the happiest bear and we truly think he must feel like he is a bird on its perch. It does kind of make your heart melt a little.
Fireflies
Tumblr is filled with weird and wonderful pictures, it can also sometimes teach someone a thing or two. The person named “mimibon” on Tumblr did not know that there were bugs in the world that could light up and thankfully to Tumblr, he now knows that there are. For people who see these every day, this is nothing strange to them, but there are parts of the world where this would come as a surprise.
The response from “mimibon” learning about the fireflies was so brilliantly written that you can almost imagine how his face lit up when ready about this.
Math Teacher
It is quite an amazing thing to share your story on Tumblr and to have someone be able to relate to it because they were part of it. This first image was taken sometime in the late 70s, and early 80s of a math teacher who obviously had a different way of teaching maths. When “bowiebarbie” replied, it must have been amazing that someone remembered him as their maths teacher.
This guy made an impact as a great teacher because even 40 years later, he was still willing to reenact the same pose for a picture from almost 40 years ago.
Parks and Recreation
If you have seen Parks and Recreation, you will understand how the description in this comment fits in so well with these lines. And if you haven't seen the series, we suggest you do so. April, the girl on the left, had the exact personality of a cat who just wants to fight all the time and show very little emotion. And Andy, on the right, was like an overly excited dog all the time.
For those who can not relate to this, this post and comment would seem weird, but if you get it, it is really the best and funniest explanation for these two characters.
Snow
Even simple things like snow and benches can get the internet going wild, but for this one, we can understand why. One person commented that the bench turned into a “snow sofa” and very quickly someone else, IN ALL CAPS, screamed out that they had missed the opportunity to call it a “snowfa”, and we can’t help but agree. The guy who commented was so close to a brilliant name for this snow-covered bench.
People can take such simple pictures and make such a scene over them, usually with their brilliant comments or really really bad ones. This one was a bit of both.
Coca-Cola
You can find some very interesting things on Tumblr, and by interesting, we mean interesting in a good way. This row of Coca-Cola bottles over the years is quite cool, but just like the one person who commented, we too would love to know what happened in 1915? Did Coca-Cola try to match the bottle to normal body shapes? And they also only decided to start filling the bottle in the pictures from 1986.
We are sure you can find interesting pictures like this elsewhere, but you would not find them with the funny comments that go along with it as you do on Tumblr.
Same Same but Different
This is the perfect representation of one of those “Why did you post the same picture twice?” kinds of memes. A tree, a raccoon, and a princess in the Pocahontas movie and an almost similar depiction in the newer Avengers: Infinity War movie too. Although there are no complete similarities, people love to mention they do not see differences to be humorous for the slight similarities that both these movies have.
People seem to pick up on things like this quite quickly and we can often find the funny side of it once we see it too. You need a sense of humor for Tumblr.
Buttons
We would also be confused at the sight of these elevator buttons and this might also be the weirdest thing we have seen yet. Obviously, someone messed with these elevator buttons and made the one go at an angle looking like an isosceles triangle, and the other one going left. But one brilliant person on Tumblr had the best response to this by asking “who let Willy Wonka design another elevator?”
Not taking the situation too seriously, it would make the most sense that this could be something out of the Chocolate Factory. We would like to know where it would go if you pressed it?
Washed Away
To anyone, this would just seem like a tree that is soon to be washed away the next time there is a rain storm. But to Tumblr, this tree has a human-like personality and is just being stubborn but not going anywhere. When you read the comment, you see it. It is hanging on for dear life and not about to let some dirt being washed away let it land up on the ground below.
We truly hope this tree is still stubborn and holding on strongly by its side roots. We would hate to have to know what it would look like if the stubbornness broke.
Mishaps
Printing mishaps happen all the time, especially when you change settings by accident or do work with something you do not really know how to work with. But this student made the most of her printing mishap and handed her accidentally tiny printed assignment in as a joke. Luckily her professor had a sense of humor and she saw the joke in it so much so that it made her laugh until she cried.
The best is that the professor is going to show all her teacher friends and who knows, we may see this pop up on someone else Tumblr again one day.
Science Experiment
Here is another science experiment from Tumblr, and although the science part of it may make sense, the wording used for it is not very scientific. The idea here is that because the air is at the top, bottom, front, and back, the paper plane would stay still. But in the comments, it was explained a bit differently with a lot of uses of the word “woosh”. Not very scientific.
Luckily, not everyone understands the hectic scientific words and this explanation worked quite well for them to understand the concept. Now we bet there are tons of people trying to “woosh” paper planes.
Satan Did It First
Here is another science experiment from Tumblr, and although the science part of it may make sense, the wording used for it is not very scientific. The idea here is that because the air is at the top, bottom, front, and back, the paper plane would stay still. But in the comments, it was explained a bit differently with a lot of uses of the word “woosh”. Not very scientific.
This church may believe they’re getting their message across, but we wonder if they know that a lot of people saw it as a pro-satan message. More people want equal rights than those who don’t.
Van Gogh
The person who posted this picture had just quickly painted Van Gogh’s Starry Night on their mom's cast. Is that normal for artists to just quickly paint famous paintings on random things? Although this is not a bad piece of work, it is quite weird that someone would choose to paint this on a cast for something different for a dinner party. People are either geniuses or they are weird.
This person made it seem like it was no biggie to do this, and perhaps for people who are skilled in certain things it is not that weird to them.
Cute
Capturing a moment like this one is really something special. When this woman's dog and husband realized she was next to them, we couldn’t tell who was more surprised and happy about it. Of course, someone on Tumblr had to go ahead and make it funny, because being cute was not enough. They had said the husband and dog looked so happy but who was the guy in the glasses?
We all should know that if you want to make something funny if you can, insult the husband first because they are usually an easy target and people find it funny.
Rainbow
This stunning picture of a rainbow reflection on the water is not so much something weird on Tumblr, but it is extremely unusual. This is not something you would see every day and it must have taken the right lighting and still water to make this amazing phenomenon happen. It was so amazing that no one could come up with something funny about it, its beauty had people speechless.
Although there are tons of weird things and pictures we can find on Tumblr, this one takes the cake on being the most unique one. Nothing weird to see here folks.
Grandmas
For those who have grandmas, you will know that one thing they live for is spoiling their grandkids as much as they can. This person shared his post on how his grandma bought him some stuff and gave him his money back for it too, which lead to others commenting on what their grandma would do. The person who posted the picture made this post even funnier by shutting people down.
All he wanted to do was share how sweet his grandma was and everyone carried on like it was a race to see whose grandma was better than the other.
Snowboarding
Now, this post is a weird one. Finland's snowboarding coach was seen knitting something at the top of the slopestyle track during the men's competition at the Sochi Olympics. It seems so bizarre. Throughout the feed's comments, someone went on to give an explanation, which was obviously not true, but hilarious where he had pretended that the snowboarder had said he was cold so the coach knitted him a scarf.
Perhaps there is a deeper meaning to this situation we do not understand, but we battle to think of any way that this is not as weird as it looks.
Hyena
When a picture and a caption do not really go hand in hand but seem to imply something else, then you get this situation. Just as the “blackhulkling” said, it seems like if you just look at the post without his comment, you may think that this hyena took down this plane, which we know quite well could not happen. Unless the hyena was on the plane, we could think otherwise.
People love making situations seem more hectic than they really are because that is what obviously gets people intrigued. Just like we are sure many were with this hyena and plane.
Not a Squirrels
People always blame the squirrels when it comes to bird feeders losing too much food, but we bet these people did not expect to see this. In this weird occurrence, a bear was climbing up to the bird feeder to eat the seeds. We are not sure what it is with these bears thinking they are birds but they need to maybe look inwards and make sure they know what bears are meant to do.
The fact that this bear managed to hold himself up on that rope like this to get to the bird seeds, makes us think the bear deserves to have it.
Crayons
This post on a crayon being able to burn for 30 minutes would be considered as some useful advice for those nights the power goes out and you don’t have any candles. However, the internet is at it again and they have other concerns about the situation. Like how long would the crayon burn when it is not urgent, or what would be defined by the crayon as an emergency?
People love to take some helpful information and question it with some humor, making it less helpful than it was before. We would still use this advice though and then comments still made us laugh.
Mannequin
Our initial thought on this picture was that they should have put the female's outfit on this mannequin on the floor because it looks kind of weird wearing a suit and lying like that. But Tumblr had a better idea. It looked like the mannequin had fallen and all the other mannequins just can’t deal with this mannequins nonsense anymore. Once again, adding human-like ideas to an inanimate object just makes it look way funnier.
We are not sure if this mannequin is supposed to be lying like that on purpose or if it literally did fall down and happened to land like this. Whichever way, it’s still quite funny.
Stuart Little
We all know what mice look like, but this one looks more like the cartoon version than the actual version of a mouse. And Tumblr agreed. This mouse should be cast in the remake of Stuart Little as he looks like a model-type mouse. His ears are what make it though, those giant movie-style mouse ears. It seems like Tumblr also found this one difficult to make funny, as it was cuteness all around.
Tumblr was mainly filled with humorous posts, but every now and then you could come across a post like this one that softens your heart and makes you feel all fuzzy inside.
Brilliant Idea
This glass shell was a brilliant idea by an artist. He made it so that he could see what hermit crabs do inside their shells, which we would think would be quite interesting. Until one person commented one word on this Tumblr post, “pervert”, and all interest fell away. We are sure others too are too afraid to keep looking at this crab because we might just be invading its personal space.
We are not sure if this idea belongs to the science side on Tumblr or not, but after one person ruined it with their comment, we doubt anything can be learned from this situation anymore.
Tree Chair
This image may look slightly weird, but the story about it is really cool. Peter Cook spent 8 years growing this tree with shaping methods to get it to be a chair shape, which we would imagine takes time and patience. After this story was shared on Tumblr, one person completely disregarded the tree part of it when they saw he was wearing crocs in the photo, and we know people hate crocs.
Luckily, someone stood up for him by saying he could wear what he wanted if he grew a chair tree. But we can’t help but laugh at the one person who brought up the crocs.
Shark Hat
This cat got put into a shark hat because she would not stop biting her owner. She got given the opportunity to truly be an animal who bites for fun with the way she carried on. One person on Tumblr went on to take the cat's side and said the owner only made her stronger, but by the looks on the cat's face, it doesn’t look like the cat is feeling very strong.
People can be so weird sometimes, like taking the time to find a shark hat for their cat, when they know quite well, that won't help the situation they’re in.
Perfect Ratio
A lot of people seem to be retaking photos that were taken in their childhood now that they are adults and this one was really cute. The ratio of their growth seemed to have gone hand in hand over the years and this dog and guy still look the same way they did when he was younger. After so many years, the dog was still a well enough size to still be able to hug.
Also, in both pictures, you can still see that the dog, just as he did as a puppy, does not know what is happening to him the moment he is being held.
Not a Painting
Surprisingly, this picture is not a painting, this is nature at its best but taken on a time-lapse. It is almost as unique as the rainbow on the water. Strange things like this can always be found on Tumblr because people love sharing the best and worse things they can find, and this of course is one of the best. It is phenomenal how the sky looks with sunset changes and moving clouds.
Although we bet some people would agree that pictures of their best are the best photos in existence, we must agree that this photo may be one of the best photos ever seen.
Rock
Quick thinkers are the best people to be around because they come back with amazing responses and most of the time they will have you in stitches. Besides this woman finding a guitar pick-shaped rock and saying it is for rock music, which is impressive, the comment below that was even better. If this woman comes up with sayings so good, we agree, that this guy should marry her faster.
People loved this post on Tumblr and most of them either said she rocked. One pun can create a ripple effect for a few more puns, and we love it.
Wedding Photos
This story of these wedding photos had us thinking the same way the guy did in the last comment, why was it illegal to have a dog as a flower girl? And we are sure we were not the only ones who thought that. Of course, that is not what this couple was implying, instead, those same-sex marriages were once illegal in Australia, and dogs could always be flower girls.
With the way the world is changing, we sometimes forget that in many places same-sex marriages are not allowed. If we hadn’t forgotten that then this post would not have been as funny.
