From the very first emails ever sent, folks have been sending funny pictures to their coworkers, friends, and family members. It doesn’t matter if they are used to express an opinion, vent a frustration, or just make someone laugh. The simplest drawing can become viral in just a few short hours. The way jokes and fads spread so quickly across the world can seem impossibly surreal, but anyone really can do it.

An all time favorite subject for humorous photography has always been house cats. These animals have distinct personalities that show up well in photographs, as they interact with babies and other pets and clumsily fall off beds and countertops. Just about anyone can enjoy jokes at the expense of a silly, clueless feline.

It is not unusual for humorous photos to take the form of screen captures from movies and cartoons of the past. Good movies and bad movies alike are a source of humor for many users. Teenagers are most likely to spread these types of photos, therefore, they will usually be from television shows that were popular between the late 80′s and mid 90′s.

One of the more recent trends in humorous pics to spread on the web are crudely drawn stick figure drawings. These are usually stylized and easily distinguished between artists. Usually taking the form of multiple panel comic strips, these often reference the frustrations and normalities of daily life, such as the inconvenience of public transportation or the joys of finding a dollar bill in one’s pocket.

A slogan or phrase that is used over and over in many photos and drawings is commonly known as a “meme”. Meme is pronounced to rhyme with “team”. It might have many variations on a theme. One of the most common memes is the one that involves cats who like cheeseburgers.

While some memes and fads are usually confined to one website, most of them will spread from website to website. Most bloggers have social networking accounts and will make identical posts for each account. Some programs allow a user to make the same post on multiple websites simultaneously. With this tool, pictures can spread faster than ever as they go from friend to family member.

Just about everyone has a cell phone these days. Almost every cell phone has a camera inside of it, with most also compatible with video recording technology. Anyone can take the next big silly photograph to spread all over the internet. In recent times, celebrities have been finding fame by posting photos and videos on the internet.
