To brighten up your day and give you a big dose of vitamin L, Bored Panda has collected the funniest times that people had a very bad day during the quarantine. So scroll down, upvote your faves, and share your own quarantine fails in the comments below. Oh, and you can find our previous post about people having a worse quarantine than you right here. We might not be able to avoid bad luck, but we can take care of our health during the pandemic. Scroll down for Bored Panda's interview with Dr. Natalie Ashburner, Wellbeing Lead at The Doctors' Association UK, about how to maintain your physical and mental health during the pandemic.
Here's what the artist had to say toBored Panda about his background, the origin of the comics, among other things. "It's not a super interesting story, but I always doodled a lot as a kid, in notebooks and whatnot. Around 5 years ago, I had been reading a bunch of other comics online and thought it might be fun to try doing that myself. So I started writing down ideas I thought might be funny, and saved up money for a digital drawing tablet. We've all been to a hospital at least a couple of times in our lives, and those visits are never, never pleasant.
Not only you have to answer a bunch of very personal questions, get poked and prodded but also often endure a great deal of pain, which probably have brought you there in the first place. Nurses and doctors, knowing all this either try to ignore your whining entirely and just do their job, while others try to add some optimism to the situation by making you laugh with hospital puns, funny stories and various sorts of jokes. This list that you'll find below are real stories about the second category of hospital staff and their ingenious ways of keeping patients' spirit up. Emma Taggart is a Contributing Writer at My Modern Met. Originally from Northern Ireland, she is an artist now based in Berlin.
After graduating with a BA in Fashion and Textile Design in 2013, Emma decided to combine her love of art with her passion for writing. Emma has contributed to various art and culture publications, with an aim to promote and share the work of inspiring modern creatives. While she writes every day, she's also devoted to her own creative outlet—Emma hand-draws illustrations and is currently learning 2D animation. Articles like "Creative Dad Takes Crazy Photos of Daughters" went viral, racking up 5 million views. By 2012, Bored Panda was drawing an average of a million visits per month, and Banišauskas hired his first employee.
Around that time he decided to let the artists he was writing about tell their own stories. Submissions poured in, reaching 100 a day, and many of the artists Bored Panda featured later told Banišauskas his posts had changed their careers, winning them new jobs, TV appearances, or fame in their communities. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house.
He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn't make us go live with our biological dad. He started out as my mom's boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice. Jonas is a Bored Panda writer who previously worked as a world news journalist elsewhere. After getting his bachelor's degree in Politics and International Relations at the University of Manchester, he returned home and graduated from Vilnius University with a master's degree in Comparative Politics.
Jonas enjoys writing articles ranging from serious topics like politics and social issues to more lighthearted things like art, pop culture, and nature. In his spare time, Jonas writes books and short stories and likes to draw lighthearted illustrations. A huge fan of literature, films, philosophy, and tabletop games, he also has a special place in his heart for anything related to fantasy or science fiction. As difficult as changing your life is, people have started sharing before-and-after photos that prove nothing is impossible if you commit to your goals 100%. Usually titled "progress pic," these images are going viral on reddit, and they're so ridiculously impressive, even the most memorable fitness or haircut transformations ain't got nothing on them. Just like at the start of every June, the internet is buzzing with funny memes, posts, tweets, and comments made by the LGBTQ+ community.
We at Bored Panda love corny dad jokes as much as absurd stock photos, so we were thrilled when we discovered an online community that puts the two together.

According to Anna and Sarah from The Wedding Society, some people tend to focus more on the wedding than the marriage itself.
However, things are shifting toward a more authentic experience. Because memes are the unofficial language of the internet and if you haven't been off to the moon lately, you'll surely know how to speak a word or two. A friend of mine was having a get together with some people from her congregation and asked everyone to bring a plate. Now when someone asks that, it means to bring a plate of food to share like a salad, cupcakes etc. Well one person had only been living in Australia for a short amount of time so they didn't know that's what it meant. They ended up bringing an empty plate, thinking that my friend didn't have enough plates so if you wanted to eat you had to bring your own.
Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want. Ilona is a photo editor at Bored Panda with an MA in Communication Of Creative Society.
Before Bored Panda, she worked as a social media manager and freelance graphic designer. When she is not photoshopping or searching for the most interesting photos for stories, she is usually watching good movies and says that The Godfather is the best. What on Earth is your online catalog for unique and funny novelty gifts, the most hilarious T-shirts and other stuff that will make you say, "What on earth!?". We have merchandise featuring your favorite pop culture items like Bob Ross and Harry Potter, plus fun clothing, wall décor and garden items. Fubiz, much like the others, is also a storehouse of photos and video clips, with an emphasis on art and design.
This place mind-inspiring and eye-catching at the same time. What's more, there's a lot of new content to explore every day, hence the tagline "Daily Dose of Inspiration." It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation.
The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. At the time, Banišauskas was a freelance photographer for weddings and TV commercials. He was more interested in the visual arts than online business models, so he created blogs around art, advertising, and architecture. The visual content got a strong response; in one month his sites collectively garnered around a million visitors. That led him to strike out on his own, creating Bored Panda, a blog dedicated to fighting boredom with art and positive stories, from his Vilnius, Lithuania, flat in 2009.
With its simple, wholesome tales of ornery animals and feel-good photo projects, Bored Panda has flourished by sidestepping the outrage. NewsWhip attributes Bored Panda's success to its light-hearted focus, noting that visual-heavy stories about dog-paw tattoos and horse mustaches were among the most shared stories across Facebook in September. Dr. Ashburner stressed how important it is for your mental health to maintain contact with friends and family. "We recommend that some form of social contact is made every day, even if you don't particularly feel like it.
This is best in the form of telephone calls or video calls but texting, social media, and playing games online are all ways to feel socially connected," the doctor said. So you think you had a bad day during the coronavirus quarantine. Maybe your internet went down in the middle of your online work presentation. Maybe you tried making IKEA's Swedish meatballs at home and accidentally made one giant meatball. Especially when you take a peek at how some people are dealing with bad luck during the quarantine. If there's one thing that describes dad jokes, it's wordplay.
You know it goes, "Hey, do you know what time my dentist appointment is? Tooth-hurty." "Why do they always build fences around cemeteries? Because people are dying to get in." "Keep a gratitude diary near you and each day just spend a few minutes thinking about one thing you are grateful for, and write it down," Sarah suggested. "Then, whenever you are having a bad day, whip it out and read it. Instant mood enhancer." Be funny, be silly, join the group in a group shot ---- but do not add an offensive gesture. Consider joining a family picture, then saying something like, "Hey, did you get me in the shot?" So the picture can be taken again.
They end up with several staged shots and a bunch of, hopefully, funny pictures. Of course rude, demanding Karens get one photo. "Me and my buddy Bl43ch created the account together and wanted to post weird reviews we'd either find ourselves or have followers submit their own online reviews they found," moosh told Bored Panda.
"There are a lot of other Twitter accounts with a similar premise but different topics, so we wanted to make one exclusive to weird reviews found online." We all know that the comment section under any post on the Internet can easily turn into a dark place. From people going wild over someone's opinion they don't agree with, to completely pointless and highly unnecessary insults - it's easy to notice how rude we often treat each other online. However, let's not 'cancel' the comments section just yet, instead let's celebrate the commenters who manage to make any content on the Internet even better. As other viral publishers succumb to Facebook's algorithm changes, Bored Panda thrives with a mix of photos, animal stories, and funny lists.
Christina, despite what you seem to believe, people are in fact capable of experiencing humor. By the time you've read this comment, I'm sure you'll have seen my other comments explaining schadenfreude. However, she pointed out that during the pandemic, people need to endure the lack of social contact to protect their health. It's a real dilemma, but you can maintain social connections by phoning, messaging, or video chatting with the people you care about.
It's a crutch, but it's the best alternative at this time. That's why Bored Panda has collected the most wholesome W's (a.k.a. wins) shared by men from the account. We love to see another brother succeed and we hope you do too, but check out wins for the ladies here too. Vote for your favorites to spread the good vibes.
I was gonna write his profile picture is perfect for this quote, because of the simultaneously smart and goofy face he's making. But then I thought people would think I meant because he's black. "Most jokes rely on some semantic ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity. The things people call dad jokes are the ones where the ambiguity is crushingly obvious," he explained. Back then, Jonas compared these "obvious" remarks to dad jokes and I gotta say, I probably agree.
Dad jokes are simultaneously beloved and maligned, deeply ingrained in the intimacies of family life, and yet universal and public enough to have a cult following. But this time, we are giving malicious compliance a foodie treatment, and we are gonna look at what happens when the subject of request is your food order. Take hangry people, witty chefs, and hilarious miscommunication and mix it all together, and here you go, you just encountered delicious compliance. You've probably heard of malicious compliance, an occurrence when people take the rules given in the most direct manner, and they end up fulfilling the request way too literally. We previously made a curious list about such entertaining instances that you can check out right here. Anna and Sarah noted that honeymoons can be incredibly important for the longevity and quality of married life.
So it's important not to rush back to your usual routine immediately after tying the knot. I had the absolute pleasure of having been invited to one of my closest friends' wedding this weekend (it was utterly spectacular!), so it's only natural that I'd want to share a whole bunch of memes about married life with you, dear Pandas. I'm fully in favour of people creating whatever art they want.
Having said that, I didn't find these comics to be funny. When the time came and Nevsky arrived at the airport, an armed soldier with an assault rifle welcomed him. In that sense, understanding a meme is a way to bond with people and feel a strong sense of community.
We as humans are wired to do so, so memes are the perfect gateway to that. Think of memes as bits of humor that capture shared cultural meanings and speak to some of the largest audience on our planet. " are some of the most shareable pieces of content on social media and therefore they deserve scrutiny and better understanding as to how they may influence us," Ortiz explained. We should never underestimate the power that social media and the content that's surfing there has on our beliefs, identities, and culture. "The most shareable content on social media will reach the most people and potentially have the greatest effect," she said.
We do bring a plate for many occasions including Christmas, it takes the stress out of it if everyone brings a dish or two instead of one person organising all the food. We have a designated person with a list of who is bringing what so we don't double up and have some variety. I even did it for my sons naming, on the invite I wrote in lieu of gifts please bring a plate to share. He was fascinated with visual arts and arts in general for as long as he can remember. He was obsessed with playing and making music in his teens. After finishing high school, he took a gap year to work odd jobs and try to figure out what he wanted to do next.
Finally, around 2016, he started learning how to use Photoshop and hasn't stopped since. He started working as a visual advertisement producer in 2017 and worked there for almost two years. In his spare time, he creates graphic collages and even had his first artwork exhibition at "Devilstone". It's no secret that Twitter is the unofficial home of many online comedians who share those little bursts of life, whether it's a joke or pun, an observation or opinionated post.
Part of Twitter's appeal has to do with how user-friendly the platform really is since every tweet there only takes a few sentences. Rokas is a writer at Bored Panda with a BA in Communication. After working for a sculptor, he fell in love with visual storytelling and enjoys covering everything from TV shows (any Sopranos fans out there?) to photography.
Throughout his years in Bored Panda, over 235 million people have read the posts he's written, which is probably more than he could count to. There's a subreddit called Accidental Comedy and it's the place for anything that is unintentionally funny. Like a poorly designed sign that looks like it's laughing at people who are drowning. Or Domino's delivery scooters falling to the ground like, well, dominos.
There is a subreddit called r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt where IT specialists come to rage about stupid things that they have to deal withevery day. These memes can definitely amuse people having all sorts of professions. By using our services you agree to our use of cookies to improve your visit.
