The discussion revolves around the challenge of trying not to smile while viewing a series of humorous images. Participants share their experiences, with many admitting that they found it difficult to resist smiling, often cracking up at specific pictures. Some express skepticism about the humor, particularly regarding images of animals that appear distressed, while others find joy in the absurdity of the images. The conversation highlights the varying reactions to the pictures, with some participants managing to complete the challenge without smiling, while others fail almost immediately. The thread also touches on personal feelings and moods, suggesting that one's emotional state can influence their ability to suppress smiles. Overall, the challenge serves as a lighthearted exploration of humor and individual responses to visual stimuli.

I didn't get past picture #1
 
picture #2 got me :smile:
 
I came into this thread grumpy and determined not to smile out of sheer ill will towards everything. I cracked up at picture #1. Well done!
 
I'm sacred of dogs so I didnt smile at #1 but #2 got me!
 
#3 made me do it :cry: :smile:

Ivan Seeking,
Would you mind if I copy this to send as an e-mail/share it in other message boards?
 
I must be an old sour puss, I got through the whole bunch without cracking a smile.
 
number 2 got me. I'll tell you the one that cracks me up every time. That squirrel with the hanging nuts in the caption thread.
 
I failed right from the start, I'm hopeless!

I got through them all, but I was eating while I viewed them.
 
  • #11
That wasn't hard at all...

Not at all. :biggrin:
 
  • #15
I'm pretty hopeless at these kinds of tests. I start smiling before I've even seen the pictures - just because I know I'm not supposed to smile.
 
  • #16
Is is just me or are the ears on number four supersized?
 
  • #17
I lost it while scrolling between 2 and 3. I think trying so hard to not smile is what got me! :smile:
 
  • #18
Before even looking at anything, I almost smiled by trying to not smile... but then I looked at every picture without smiling...

What's so funny about some poor baby primate obviously being scared to death?
 
  • #21
I almost smiled upon seeing picture two but then I decided to think about something else while looking at the rest of the pictures. No smile.:biggrin:
 
  • #22
I made it all the way through, but the 4th one almost got me.

Yeah, jeez you guys what's your problem. I scrolled down rather uninterested. I got the point though... there is one right?

That's actually what I thought. That poor ape is being frightened.

So did I, but that's what made me smile.

I don't get the objections. He looks like a typical student from the professors point of view.
