People Are Taking Hilariously Awkward Holiday Portraits at JCPenney
@giovanamaldo We laughed so much #fyp #awkward #photoshoot #jcpenneyphotoshoot #popular ♬ Just the Two of Us – Grover Washington, Jr.

There are many traditions surrounding the holidays. For those who celebrate Christmas, putting up a tree and decorating the house are two of the most festive events. This season is also a popular time for many families and couples to take holiday portraits. While some may treat this as a formal event, there is a hilarious trend on TikTok that is inspiring people to bond in a different way—by taking awkward portraits at JCPenney.

The #jcpenneyphotoshoot involves bringing your loved ones to the department store and reenacting some of the cliches involved with holiday portraits. Many TikTokers arrived in ugly Christmas sweaters, others changed into flannel pajamas at the location, and certain groups strut into the studio in matching denim outfits. Once they get in front of the camera though, the real fun begins. In the videos, we see siblings and partners posing in several odd positions, like getting in a line and holding the other person's waist from the back, or holding someone's leg.

Although the images are funny enough on their own, the best part about this trend is seeing how much fun the participants have in doing it. Most TikTokers include behind-the-scenes snippets of them preparing for each photo, many times capturing people in the midst of laughter. Siblings joke about what their mom's reaction will be to seeing these intentionally strange portraits, and several friend groups prove that the trend can be a great bonding experience as well.

Vocal Husky “Talks” to His Humans With an Italian Accent

Huskies are well known for their chattiness. Whether it's through howls or barks, it definitely seems like these intelligent canines are trying to communicate with their humans. Apparently, some of them even try to mimic their owners' accents when they “use their words.” A husky in Italy has gone viral on TikTok for his hilarious videos in which he “talks” back to his humans with a distinctly Italian accent.

The account, called @aaronthehusky_, features short clips of the blue-and-brown eyed pup copying the rhythm of his human's voice through doggy sounds. While the husky doesn't make any discernible words through his vocalizations, it definitely appears as though he is trying to emulate his masters' way of speaking—perhaps in hopes that he will be better understood.

According to a study conducted in the UK, dogs copying their humans' regional accents is a relatively common occurrence. People from across the country were asked to record their dogs' barks and growls and submit them to a panel, and researches found variations from area to area. Dog behaviorist Tracey Gudgeon proposes that canines mimic the tone and pitch of their owners' voices as a way of bonding. For instance, Scottish dogs were found to have a “rolling” bark, similar to the regional accent.

So if the Italian husky has picked up his humans' musical accent, it is very likely that your pup sounds like you too.

In-flight announcements are vital to keep everyone safe, but they’re also usually monotone. They can be even more boring for flight attendants, who may repeat them several times a day. As a way to keep spirits up, a Southwest crew member put his talents to use and gave the safety instructions a twist. A viral video shows flight attendant Zach Haumesser making an announcement imitating the voices of many Looney Tunes characters.

The clip, first taken in 2016, shows Haumesser sitting at the front of the plane and holding the intercom. Upon landing in Chicago, he addresses the passengers one last time. “Be vewy, vewy quiet, we have weached your destination,” Haumesser says in his best Elmer Fudd voice. Then, channeling his inner Bugs Bunny, he advises the travelers to carefully remove the luggage from the overhead bins. “You wouldn’t wanna get a bump on the noggin,” he says.

Haumesser also nails the voices of Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, the Tasmanian Devil, and Porky Pig, before sending everyone off with the Roadrunner's famous “Beep Beep” sound. Amazed by his abilities, both his crewmates and the passengers gave him a round of applause.

While many viewers have felt like Haumesser is too big of a talent to only get to shine inside a plane, being a flight attendant is only his day job. Not only is Haumesser a skilled voice actor, but he is also a puppeteer, most notably having taken the role of Audrey 2 in many productions of The Little Shop of Horrors. Even better, sometimes his two passions combine—like when he did an in-flight announcement with the help of a Kermit the Frog puppet. You can watch his famous Looney Tunes announcement video below.

Ryan Reynolds Teams Up With Travis Kelce for Funny Photoshop of Blake Lively and Taylor Swift

Beyoncé's Renaissance film premiere brought together many luminaries. Among the A-listers in attendance were Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, who have been friends for many years. The pair decided to mark the event with a striking photograph that caught the attention of fans, the media, and even a couple of pranksters. One of the latter decided to give this image a funny twist, photoshopping the faces of the women’s respective partners—Travis Kelce and Ryan Reynolds—over theirs. Reynolds, no stranger to trolling his wife, saw an opportunity to poke some fun at her by sharing the altered version.

The original image was posted by Swift to Instagram among other shots taken by photographers Mason Poole and Kevin Mazur. In the picture, two friends embrace each other while sitting on a blue velvet couch, with Lively daringly placing her hand on Swift's thigh. The alluring photograph was then edited by a creator known as karthiknjartist. A long-time fan of Reynolds and the superhero franchises he has starred in, this is far from the first cheeky edit he has posted.

More so, karthiknjartist created other funny versions of Lively and Swift's image, including one starring Deadpool and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and another one with Jason Momoa in Lively's place, who doesn't look entirely out of place given his long, luscious hair.  Yet the version that caught Reynolds' eye was the one starring him and his friend's football beau. He then posted it to his Instagram story with the caption: “I feel like I should remember this.”

Reynolds and Lively are longtime friends of Swift, with Lively even directing a music video for the singer. There is also speculation about Swift joining Reynolds on Deadpool 3 as the character Dazzler. And while Kelce is relatively new to the friend group, he is known for displaying his sense of humor on New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother Jason. With a little luck, we may soon see a funny image of this caliber starring the two men, no Photoshop needed.

National Park Service’s Tweets Are So Funny That You’ll Learn About Nature Without Noticing

Social media allows anyone to share their personality, but some accounts are unexpectedly hilarious. Thanks to savvy social media managers, there are some brands that have shown themselves to be quite entertaining and at times sassy. The latest to join the ranks of clever social media accounts is the National Park Service (NPS). Not only does the person behind this account keep people updated in real time, but they are also building engagement in a heartfelt manner. The wonderfully witty content is at times silly but can also be highly informative.

Earlier this year, the NPS gained anttention after telling people to “never push a slower friend in a bear attack…even if you feel the friendship has run its course.” This clever way to make people aware of the precautions they needed to have during the bear season is just a sliver of their endless humor, envisioned by social media specialist Matt Turner.

Thousands of different species call the National Parks home, which means that anyone can get their chance in the spotlight. For example, the NPS has shared how the dread of Monday weighs across the animal world, whether you're a bear or a mink. Of course, there are also seasonal stars, like an intimidating Thanksgiving turkey. However, these animal spotlights are also sprinkled with useful information for park visitors, like this message calling for patience when encountering a bison.

Whether you're a frequent park visitor or simply wish to make your days better with some nature puns and funny pictures, the NPS Twitter account is an absolute treasure. If Instagram is more of your thing, the pictures they post there can give the Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards a run for its money.

The National Park Service (NPS) Twitter account is not only highly informative, but also tremendously fun.

Their clever warnings are just a taste of their endless humor, envisioned by social media specialist Matt Turner.

Vintage Questions the Public Once Asked New York Public Library’s Librarians

What do you do when you have a question? These days most people turn to the Google search bar. But back in the 20th century, knowledgeable people were the search bars and libraries full of books were the internet. If you had a question in 1966, you could call your local librarian and ask them to point you in the direction of the best resource. The New York Public Library hotline was established in 1967, but even before that curious citizens called with queries. Many of these questions were recorded by the librarians, and they include some amusing and random insights into people's quests for information.

The questions are recorded on small cards like those that used to fill card catalogs. Typed on a typewriter or scrawled in loopy handwriting, the questions are sometimes notated alongside their answers. People asked a variety of things. In 1963, someone whose identity has been lost to history asked, “Any statistics on the life span of the abandoned woman?” One can only imagine the story behind the question. Other questions clearly were inspired by recent events. On May 27, 1947, a caller asked, “What does it mean when you dream you’re being chased by an elephant?” No answer is given on that card.

Other questions have a bit of a creepy undertone. On November 30, 1948, someone asked, “Where can I get all available statistics on volume of business, money involved, etc. in the sale of cadavers?” If the librarian asked follow up questions it was not recorded. In 1976, an art lover asked, “Why do 18th century English paintings have so many squirrels in them, and how did they tame them so that they wouldn't bite the painter?” One can only hope the librarian cautioned the caller about domesticating squirrels. Other questions are much more practical, like: “Off-hand, do you happen to know a really good book about having twins?”

Is the squirrel query a stupid question? “There are no stupid questions,” NYPL Librarian Rosa Caballero-Li says. “Everything is a teachable moment. We don't embarrass people; we try to answer any questions they have with honesty and we try to refer them to appropriate resources that they might find useful.” The NYPL still offers their ask-a-librarian call in service, which despite the existence of Google gets 30,000 questions a year. “We don't know everything,” Caballero-Li told NPR, “But we can always point you in the right direction.” To get those burning questions answered, about squirrels or anything else, call 917-275-6975 between 9 am and 6 pm EST on business days.

Before there was Google, people had to rely on their local library to have their questions answered.

Australian Firefighters Calendar

A new year means a new calendar. While there are many creative options out there, one of the most iconic is the Australian Firefighters Calendar. Since 1993, it has produced wildly popular photos of handsome men to help raise money for Australian charities. For 2024, it presents six editions for fans to choose from, including several in which the dashing heroes pose alongside adorable animal co-stars.

The calendar features over 25 Australian firefighters from aviation, military, and urban fire services. The Classic calendar is the edition that many are acquainted with, in which each of the men poses shirtless for the camera. In the Hero edition, which is new this year, the firefighters are captured in action—including unrolling hoses, climbing ladders, and even standing in the middle of fire. Of course, some of the most anticipated and lovable editions feature these brave men with cuddly animals, like the Cat edition, Dog edition, Horses edition, and Mixed Animals edition (which includes koalas, meerkats, and more). “From cuddly koalas to playful kittens, these visuals capture the compassion that these firefighters stand for both in and out of uniform,” its official statement explains.

The Australian Firefighters Calendar has helped raise over $3.4 million to charities since its launch 30 years ago. They continue to pledge donations with the sales from this year's calendar. “The calendar’s proud history of supporting animal refuges and Australian Wildlife in the past, will continue into the future. Australia’s Rural Firefighters and children suffering from cancer will also once again benefit from donations,” they add. Among the charities that the calendar assists are The Queensland Koala Society, Kids with Cancer Foundation, Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital, and Safe Haven Animal Rescue.

You can purchase the Australian Firefighters Calendar 2024 through their online store.

Cosplayer Creates Hilarious Costumes of Pop Culture on a Budget All Year Round

Low Cost Halloween Costumes

Whether you're putting a costume together for Halloween, a party, or convention, assembling the clothes and accessories can get pretty expensive. However, there's a way to dress up on a budget. Instagram cosplayer Anucha Saengchart, aka Lonelyman, proves this in his hilarious transformations. Using basic items, food, and pets, as well as some camera tricks, he is able to turn into a variety of characters and icons from pop culture on a budget.

Saengchart demonstrates the process of each of his cosplays in a series of four photos. The top two images usually focus on him getting ready, whereas the bottom left shows the finished product and the bottom right reveals the original inspiration. For one of his most recent costume creations, Saengchart imitates the Internet Explorer logo. All that's needed is a blue and white long-sleeve t-shirt, and a carefully placed hula hoop covered in yellow fabric.

Many of his most-liked cosplays recreate characters from anime and films. Saengchart even turned into Barbie in her vintage beach costume from the movie by stacking butter cookies on his forehead (to mimic her curly bangs) and tossing on a blonde ponytail and pair of white sunglasses. He used even fewer props to become Batman. There, he wore a black turtleneck and placed a black cat on his head. The glare of the green-eyed feline is a near-perfect match with the caped hero of Gotham City.
