The film adaptation of the popular musical Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has been a critics’ darling and has ruled the box office since its release in November. Apparently, it has also been a hot topic during family gatherings on Christmas.

In a viral clip shared on social media, one TikTok user captured a heated debate between two family members about the connection between Wicked and alien drones.

In the video, the user can be seen trying not to laugh while two voices argue in the background.

“Are you kidding me John? A green woman sings about defying gravity and a week later there’s alien drones all over the sky? And think that’s a coincidence “one family member can be heard saying.

The “alien drones” is likely a reference to recent “mysterious” drone sightings in New Jersey that turned out to be a coincidence of commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones appearing in the sky in a larger frequency.

 “It’s a metaphor, she’s defying the constraints of her society,” another responds.

“Soft disclosure, look it up,” the first person adds.

The argument not only entertained the poster but also other TikTok users, who compared the argument to the comedy Step Brothers, which stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

“Why does he kinda sound like Will Ferrell and give off Step Brothers vibes?,” one TikToker commented.

“they sound like those 2 guys in Stepbrothers,” another added.

“Is that John C Reilly? “Soft disclosure, look it up” is giving step brothers,” someone chimed in.

During the pandemic, when there were fewer comedy gigs, Nelson decided to turn to social media and started creating Twonks Comics. He quickly gained a huge following online, with internet users loving his sense of humor. Additionally, he started getting attention from elsewhere.

A woman named Manda recently attempted to recreate a balloon Santa Claus she saw on a postcard. While her attempt failed spectacularly, she at least managed to bring laughs to social media users.

Manda documented her project in a viral video shared on TikTok. She first showed the original balloon art that inspired her and then her own creation for comparison.

Her balloon Santa looked nothing like the reference photo, but it would be amazing in an art gallery as a piece of abstract art.

@mandawithanm

Manda obviously seemed like a good sport about her failed attempt, while TikTok users appreciated the video, which got 6.4 million views.

“that was SO much funnier than i anticipated,” one user wrote in the comments section.

A lot of users also seemed to have enjoyed not only the laughs but also the aesthetics of Manda’s creation. Someone even said that it reminds them of Pablo Picasso’s work.

“I like yours. He seems more enthusiastic,” one person commented.

“I prefer yours it’s giving Picasso vibes,” another added.

Manda later shared a follow up video to provide a better look at her balloon Santa with a funny animation of a dancing elf as a bonus.

Dogs bring us much joy and entertainment, sometimes even when they don’t intend to. TikTok user @zooquest88 recently shared a compilation on TikTok that shows what happens when pet owners bark at their dogs, and the results are hilarious.

When hearing the bark, some of the puppers took it as an invitation to play, others immediately went into a defensive mode, and some were downright confused and seemed like they are wondering what’s wrong with their humans. One dog simply decided to kiss their owner, probably thinking their human is acting weird and could use some affection.

The video received more than five million views since being shared in early December and delighted other TikTok users and animal lovers.

“If you do it properly it means “let’s play” that’s why they get excited,” @no0tn0ot commented.

“I feel like I’m watching a bunch of dogs try to say, “Whoaaaa, that’s our word,” @harry.hands.og quipped.

The video even inspired some dog owners to try out this stunt themselves. However, it turned out that not all dogs are willing to take the bait.

“my dog just looks at me like I’m some joke,” one person shared in the comments section.

“Is my dog the only one that just gives me a side eye,” another added.

Students can get quite creative when it comes to making excuses and asking for extensions on their deadlines. Literature professor Morgan Hunter has heard it all, or at least she thought so until receiving an email from one student who recorded a song to ask for additional time to complete his assignment.

In a viral video shared on TikTok, Hunter showed an email from an unnamed student who explained that they had statistics exam they were unprepared for and would not be able to put enough time to complete the task for her class. They also attached a file titled “EXTENSION.”

The file was actually a song in which student the student was asking for an extension while also using the usual excuses including that their computer crashed and that their dog ate the router so they don’t have the internet.

“I swear college kids these days will do ANYTHING except write their actual essay,” Hunter shared in the video, which has more than 19 million views.

The city of Bend, Oregon, has recently become the site of a mysterious art intervention. Someone has been placing googly eyes on the city’s public art, delighting the residents and angering the city officials.

Bend is home to Roundabout Art Route, a stretch of artworks situated on the roundabouts of the city’s main road. In recent weeks, several of those artworks were targeted for a humorous makeover with googly eyes by unnamed individuals.

The pieces that had googly eyes fitted on them included Joe Halko’s “Big Ears,” which shows a bronze-cast family of deer, Brandon Zebold’s “Orb I,” a six-foot-tall sphere made of metal, and Frank Boyden’s sculpture of a bird named “Phoenix Rising.”

While the public was overwhelmingly entertained by this unusual intervention, the city officials have been urging the Googly Eye Bandit, a nickname given to the mysterious culprit, to halt its project. According to them, the adhesive used to secure the googly eyes could damage the sculpture.

“We love our roundabout art in Bend, so let’s do our part to take care of it,” the city of Band wrote in a social media post. “While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art.​”

Have you ever looked at a person walking their dog and noticed how similar they looked to one another? It turns out a lot of animals share some similarities with humans—and one artist has brought this idea to life by imagining how animals might look as people in her artwork.

“I was captivated by the uncanny similarities between humans and their pets. It sparked an idea, and I started sketching a series inspired by these resemblances, having so much fun with it. Earlier this year that fascination lingered, so I decided to take it further and create human characters based on the personality and traits of animals,” Connie Kang said to Bored Panda.

But just how does she come up with the personification of so many animals? “I focus on highlighting the unique quirks and charm of both the animal and the human they’re inspired by. For example, a photo of an angry owl strutting might give me a strong mafia vibe. That led me to design a mafia boss character inspired by Al Pacino in The Godfather. I carefully emphasize traits that bring out humor and authenticity, creating a connection between the animal’s personality and the human interpretation,” Kang explained.

Kang takes the fur, scales, and feathers of animals and turns them into the clothing their human counterpart wears. After all, Kang says, humans have always been inspired by animals anyway.

“Fashion is a vital part of the storytelling in my work. The clothing reflects the character’s personality while staying true to the animal’s energy. For instance, if an animal exudes sleek elegance, the human counterpart might wear something retro and chic… Additionally, I draw heavily from the natural patterns and colors of animals themselves,” she told Bored Panda.

Check out Kang’s incredibly creative and humorous works—we guarantee you’ll love them all.

College professor Matthew Pittman from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, recently became a social media star because of his unusual method of waking up students who were asleep during his lectures. When he sees a student catching some snooze, Pittman walks up to them and wakes them up by loudly singing emo music.

 Pittman shared his unique method in a recent video posted on TikTok. The clip, which has received more than 57 million views so far, shows Pittman breaking out emo-era hits like Secondhand Serenade’s “Fall for You,” Green Day’s “Basket Case,” and Blink-182’s “I Miss You” to unassuming students while accompanying it with a proper stage appearance.

The students who woke up had a hard time realizing what was happening, while the rest of the class visibly enjoyed their professor’s antics.

TikTok users absolutely loved Pittman’s methods while sharing their thoughts in the comments section.

“Idk what’s better him pulling megaphone out of seemingly no where or the other kid reaching over to plug his nose to make the blink 182 song more authentic sounding,” one TikTok user wrote.

“This is the type of professor you randomly pick because you need the class and end up picking whenever you can for other classes,” another added.

If you like unusual comics that cover a range of subjects in unexpected and somewhat weird ways but always pack a great joke, then Loose Parts Comics are just the thing for you.

In these comics, you’ll find clever puns, aliens who mistakenly use inappropriate sign language to introduce themselves to humans, sharks who are trying to game dating apps, obsessive-compulsive leaf raking, and more.

Created by illustrator and writer Dave Blazek, Loose Parts Comics has been entertaining millions of people for more than two decades. They have been published in more than 120 media outlets in the USA and Canada and continue to be featured in newspapers like The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Toronto Sun.

Blazek describes his Loose Parts comics as “oddly intelligent, weirdly entertaining and impulsively funny” while adding that people in them are “dumber than each other” while animals are “smarter than anyone else”.

“It roams living rooms, medieval castles and science labs; it peeks into suburban kitchens and operating rooms and treks to outer space and beyond, all in the search of funny. It views the world from a different angle so you don’t hurt your neck trying to do it for yourself,” Blazek shares.

Even if you are not an avid newspaper reader, you can still check out episodes of Loose Parts Comics thanks to social media. Scroll down to see some of our favorites.

A new challenge has recently taken over TikTok. Called “First to Call Back,” the challenge sees friends giving their partners a ring and then waiting to see who will get the first call back.

TikTok user @izzyy726 recently decided to try out the challenge with her friends and capture the results in a now-viral video.

The clip sees @izzyy726 and three of her friends calling their boyfriends, letting the phone ring for just a second and then abandoning the call. They then put their phones on the table and wait to see what will happen.

“Who’s man will call back first???,” @izzyy726 asked in the video while displaying the length of each relationship on the phones so the viewers can take a guess whose boyfriend will make the first call.

The woman who has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for five years was the first one to receive a call back. A woman who was in a relationship for two and a half years received a text shortly after, as did the woman in a six-and-a-half-year relationship. The video didn’t reveal how much it took for a boyfriend in the longest relationship of seven years to call back.

The video ended up quickly capturing the attention of TikTok users, who loved the playful nature of the challenge. It has been viewed 47 million times since it was posted a couple of weeks ago, and it has received 10K comments.

As it turns out, a lot of TikTokers were expecting the seven-year boyfriend to be the last one to call.

“i knew it that the 7 years relationship would be last,” one user commented.

Others made light-hearted jokes about it.

“7 years ain’t calling back until 3 business days,” one person wrote.

“Relationship expired in 6 years … got it,” another added.

The city of Bend, Oregon, has recently become the site of a mysterious art intervention. Someone has been placing googly eyes on the city’s public art, delighting the residents and angering the city officials.

Bend is home to Roundabout Art Route, a stretch of artworks situated on the roundabouts of the city’s main road. In recent weeks, several of those artworks were targeted for a humorous makeover with googly eyes by unnamed individuals.

The pieces that had googly eyes fitted on them included Joe Halko’s “Big Ears,” which shows a bronze-cast family of deer, Brandon Zebold’s “Orb I,” a six-foot-tall sphere made of metal, and Frank Boyden’s sculpture of a bird named “Phoenix Rising.”

While the public was overwhelmingly entertained by this unusual intervention, the city officials have been urging the Googly Eye Bandit, a nickname given to the mysterious culprit, to halt its project. According to them, the adhesive used to secure the googly eyes could damage the sculpture.

“We love our roundabout art in Bend, so let’s do our part to take care of it,” the city of Band wrote in a social media post. “While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art.​”

Have you ever looked at a person walking their dog and noticed how similar they looked to one another? It turns out a lot of animals share some similarities with humans—and one artist has brought this idea to life by imagining how animals might look as people in her artwork.

“I was captivated by the uncanny similarities between humans and their pets. It sparked an idea, and I started sketching a series inspired by these resemblances, having so much fun with it. Earlier this year that fascination lingered, so I decided to take it further and create human characters based on the personality and traits of animals,” Connie Kang said to Bored Panda.

But just how does she come up with the personification of so many animals? “I focus on highlighting the unique quirks and charm of both the animal and the human they’re inspired by. For example, a photo of an angry owl strutting might give me a strong mafia vibe. That led me to design a mafia boss character inspired by Al Pacino in The Godfather. I carefully emphasize traits that bring out humor and authenticity, creating a connection between the animal’s personality and the human interpretation,” Kang explained.

Kang takes the fur, scales, and feathers of animals and turns them into the clothing their human counterpart wears. After all, Kang says, humans have always been inspired by animals anyway.

“Fashion is a vital part of the storytelling in my work. The clothing reflects the character’s personality while staying true to the animal’s energy. For instance, if an animal exudes sleek elegance, the human counterpart might wear something retro and chic… Additionally, I draw heavily from the natural patterns and colors of animals themselves,” she told Bored Panda.

Check out Kang’s incredibly creative and humorous works—we guarantee you’ll love them all.

College professor Matthew Pittman from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, recently became a social media star because of his unusual method of waking up students who were asleep during his lectures. When he sees a student catching some snooze, Pittman walks up to them and wakes them up by loudly singing emo music.

 Pittman shared his unique method in a recent video posted on TikTok. The clip, which has received more than 57 million views so far, shows Pittman breaking out emo-era hits like Secondhand Serenade’s “Fall for You,” Green Day’s “Basket Case,” and Blink-182’s “I Miss You” to unassuming students while accompanying it with a proper stage appearance.

The students who woke up had a hard time realizing what was happening, while the rest of the class visibly enjoyed their professor’s antics.

TikTok users absolutely loved Pittman’s methods while sharing their thoughts in the comments section.

“Idk what’s better him pulling megaphone out of seemingly no where or the other kid reaching over to plug his nose to make the blink 182 song more authentic sounding,” one TikTok user wrote.

“This is the type of professor you randomly pick because you need the class and end up picking whenever you can for other classes,” another added.

If you like unusual comics that cover a range of subjects in unexpected and somewhat weird ways but always pack a great joke, then Loose Parts Comics are just the thing for you.

In these comics, you’ll find clever puns, aliens who mistakenly use inappropriate sign language to introduce themselves to humans, sharks who are trying to game dating apps, obsessive-compulsive leaf raking, and more.

Created by illustrator and writer Dave Blazek, Loose Parts Comics has been entertaining millions of people for more than two decades. They have been published in more than 120 media outlets in the USA and Canada and continue to be featured in newspapers like The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Toronto Sun.

Blazek describes his Loose Parts comics as “oddly intelligent, weirdly entertaining and impulsively funny” while adding that people in them are “dumber than each other” while animals are “smarter than anyone else”.

“It roams living rooms, medieval castles and science labs; it peeks into suburban kitchens and operating rooms and treks to outer space and beyond, all in the search of funny. It views the world from a different angle so you don’t hurt your neck trying to do it for yourself,” Blazek shares.

Even if you are not an avid newspaper reader, you can still check out episodes of Loose Parts Comics thanks to social media. Scroll down to see some of our favorites.

A new challenge has recently taken over TikTok. Called “First to Call Back,” the challenge sees friends giving their partners a ring and then waiting to see who will get the first call back.

TikTok user @izzyy726 recently decided to try out the challenge with her friends and capture the results in a now-viral video.

The clip sees @izzyy726 and three of her friends calling their boyfriends, letting the phone ring for just a second and then abandoning the call. They then put their phones on the table and wait to see what will happen.

“Who’s man will call back first???,” @izzyy726 asked in the video while displaying the length of each relationship on the phones so the viewers can take a guess whose boyfriend will make the first call.

The woman who has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for five years was the first one to receive a call back. A woman who was in a relationship for two and a half years received a text shortly after, as did the woman in a six-and-a-half-year relationship. The video didn’t reveal how much it took for a boyfriend in the longest relationship of seven years to call back.

The video ended up quickly capturing the attention of TikTok users, who loved the playful nature of the challenge. It has been viewed 47 million times since it was posted a couple of weeks ago, and it has received 10K comments.

As it turns out, a lot of TikTokers were expecting the seven-year boyfriend to be the last one to call.

“i knew it that the 7 years relationship would be last,” one user commented.

Others made light-hearted jokes about it.

“7 years ain’t calling back until 3 business days,” one person wrote.

“Relationship expired in 6 years … got it,” another added.
