If you've ever found yourself in an embarrassing situation, the best thing to do is to laugh about it! Being self-aware and laughing at yourself is the best way to go about life. These folks did exactly that and found the humor in these embarrassing situations...

Now We See Why...

"Maybe I am not as good as I thought I was!"

Joe Power tried his best to become the next popular TV psychic medium. Unfortunately, the show was canceled. Apparently, he didn't see it coming... This is ironic, since, well, he's a psychic medium. Maybe work on your skills first, Joe!

Does This Mean I'm Less Special?

"So, does that make me two in a million?"

Fortune cookies can bring in some good affirmations! Getting a fortune that says, "you are one in a million" probably feels pretty good! The impact of the message lessens when you accidentally get two of these messages... Meaning that it was probably meant for another person, making this way less special.  

It Happens

"Welp. We did our best."

As their car steered off the road, it also took down a very ironic sign... It says, "Thank you for driving carefully." Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they were driving very carefully to begin with! 

Finding the Humor

"My uncle sent me this picture of his prosthesis doctor."

Did anyone know that he even had that? It must be nice to have a prosthesis doctor who also has a prosthesis! Maybe he knows where all of the good gag-legs are.

British Humor

"Lost a bunch of pounds this week!"

This is a self-dig in two ways: one, he's broke. Two: he thinks that he needs to lose weight. This is self-awareness at its funniest!

Zootopia Fans

"So my friend went to the DMV on Halloween..."

The DMV can be a pretty rough place to work in. You have to make it fun somehow! This guy decided to dress up as the DMV sloth in Zootopia to make his customers and coworkers laugh. He did a pretty good job!

When The Attention Meter Runs Low

"When no one compliments me for a few days, I begin to think I look exactly like my reflection in the makeup mirror."

If you're the type of person who values their appearance and puts effort into looking good, then you can probably relate. If you go too long without a compliment, you might end up feeling like that distorted face in the makeup mirror.

Baby's First Oscar

"Leo DiCaprio to engraver: "Do you engrave Oscars every year? How would I know?"

The fact that Leonardo DiCaprio went decades without an Oscar was so insane that it became a meme. Once he finally got one for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama thanks to his role as Hugh Glass in The Revenant. Apparently, he knew about the meme, too, and was cracking jokes about his long-awaited victory the whole night. 

It's Workplace Safety Awareness Week

"Safety, shmafety."

These guys take Workplace Safety Awareness Week very seriously. As the Employee of the Month once said: "Safety, shmafety." He was probably fine putting up that banner...

It's Self-Explainatory

"No caption needed."

She wanted to remember her roots through a meaningful tattoo... Meaning, she wanted to get a funny tattoo that said "Made in China," the classic inscription on billions of goods around the world. Think her parents like it?

Total Control Scale

"I weigh exactly as much as I want to."

This type of scale is way better than your average, run-of-the-mill scale. You can punch in whatever number you're feeling that day! It's all about self-confidence here.

Not Very Approachable

"This is why no one talks to me at school."

She was always wondering why more people didn't talk to her... Well, this is why. Her friend snapped a photo of her just hanging out in class. No, she's not mad. It's just her face! At least she's self-aware.

Getting Thrifty

"When your girl dumps you and you play it off real smooth..."

If your partner's name is Lauren, then you might as well get a tattoo of their name. Once you break up, you can get a bougie Ralph Lauren tattoo and pretend that the relationship never, ever happened. This is way better than a cover-up.

When You Go Into a Coma

"Guess who woke up."

She's awake! Obviously, she was in a pretty intense state of injury but can still make somewhat of a joke out of it. If she can text the whole WhatsApp group chat about it, she's fine!

Always Time for a Photoshoot

"I get an email every time I get a package delivered to my apartment's mailroom. It's supposed to be a photo of the label, but there this one guy..."

Sometimes, mail delivery can feel a bit mundane and boring. In order to spice things up, this guy has taken the time to have small photoshoots with the packages that he's delivering. Honestly, this is way better than just getting a photo of your lonely package sitting on the floor!

Am I, Though?

"I know... I know!"

This is the type of gift that could make a teacher quit. If you didn't catch it, the engraving is supposed to read, "You're the best teacher ever." It's one of the most simple grammatical things to know, and this student messed it up! That's gotta hurt just a bit.

Hospital Stays Are Embarrassing

"May I interest you ladies in a gulp of oxygen or a glass of fluid?"

Admit it: it's kind of embarrassing to stay in a hospital sometimes. This user didn't specify why he was admitted, but he said it was for a reason that he "didn't want to say" to try and "keep his man-points"... whatever that means! He took this time to roam around his room and take funny photos for his friends.

They Know That They're Slow!

"Saw this on the road today."

RVs tend to be the biggest road-hogs ever... Even more so than 18-wheelers! This RV family was self-aware enough to find a wheel cover for their Jeep to let everyone know. It says, "Please be patient... I'm pushing as fast as I can!"

Just Jokes

"Finally whipping... Lol jokes, I'm still on the bus."

Photo angles are everything... This guy is always on the bus and decided to trip his friends out into thinking that he got a car. Wrong! Still (and forever) on the bus. 

Are You Sure About That?

"I guess I'll be drinking some irony this morning."

Because it kind of seems like that mug totally failed. This could be a sign that... For instance, even though the handle of the mug broke, you can still drink it, you just need to hold it like a cup. No failure here! 

That's Definitely What Happened

"My teacher is named Teresa?"

Does your teacher really have a twin sister named Teresa or did the Yearbook club totally mess up on their portraits? Honestly, this is a hilarious mix-up even though Miss Teresa did not get her photo in the yearbook. Maybe next year! 

The Perfect Match

"A local police department posted this photo on their website for National Doughnut Day."

There's been a long-running stereotype that cops love donuts which was only heightened by The Simpsons character Chief Wiggum. To poke some fun at themselves, they posted this photo for National Doughnut day.

Mullets Forever

"This is how my dad throws a party."

This is what happens when your dad can't forget about his mullet days. This is also the perfect way to let everyone know where the party is... Business in the front, party in the back!

Innovative? Sure!

"Why spend all that money on a fancy computer stand?"

It seems like he knows what he's doing, honestly. He either just broke the stand and is waiting on his new one or he really did decide to spend the money on an expensive computer screen and use his engineering abilities to build a not-so-stable stand. It's fine as long as it doesn't fall!

Seeing Double

"When you look more like Harry Potter than Harry Potter." 

This kid was lucky enough to meet Daniel Radcliffe who played Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series. Funny enough, they had very similar features! The fact that the kid had those classic round glasses on made it even better... All he needed was the lightning bolt scar on his forehead! 

When You Don't Get Any Compliments

"My yearbook quote is the only thing I am proud of."

Ghufran was used to getting compliments and questions about her headwrap. She wears it for her own personal reasons, but that doesn't mean she can't make a joke about it! She decided to put in her yearbook, "I got a haircut and no one noticed." That is top-tier self-aware humor! 

This Works!

"This was in my dentist's waiting room."

Do you want to look like Gollum on the left or Gollum on the right? Probably Gollum on the right, right? That's what a dentist can do for you! 

Works Perfectly!

"Celebrate with me as I hit my goal weight finally!"

Don't you love when the scale tells what you want to hear? You don't even need to take it out of the box. How nice is that?

Not Entertained

"My coworker asked why I always look so suspicious. Apparently, I have had this look from the go!"

You can't convince this baby of anything. If you're a victim of RBF, just find a baby picture... That will prove that it's "just your face."

Relationship Things

"Just me and my girl having a disagreement." 

The funny part? The girlfriend took the picture! Who's more self-aware? The boyfriend knowing he won't get anywhere with the girlfriend, or the girlfriend who is encouraging this photo because he's probably right?

Too On Point

"A perfect match."

Someone noticed that this kid looked exactly like her phone case! The hair, the white shirt... Who knows if his face looks the same, but that part doesn't matter.

Hair Loss? No Problem!

"My bald head has meaning now." 

This is a great example of a perfectly placed tattoo. Most people deal with hair loss later in life, why not have a good sense of humor about it? It's way better than being sad about it! 

Snapchat is Rude

"Hahaha I look so nerdy and dumb with this filter... Thank god I don't actually look like that." 

Snapchat can be really rude sometimes with its filters... This girl saw the new filter and knew exactly what to do with it! At least she looks better without the filter, right?

Starting Tomorrow

"Someone caught me!"

The irony of this photo is too good! He must be gearing up for his fast... He's obviously not already deep in it! 

Photography Fail

"I don't know why my arms look so long that I could tie my shoes without bending over."

The dancing photo is easily explainable: the photographer had a wide angle and her arms become the victim. The second photo is not so easy to explain... Her arms really do look incredibly long. At least she's got a good attitude about it! 

Prosthetic Fail

"Went to open the fridge. Definitely thought my hand was connected properly."

Getting used to a new prosthetic must be difficult, especially when you need to use it! This guy had a bit of a malfunction when he went to grab a snack from the fridge. At least it makes a hilarious photo! 

We Just Met

"Just two guys with nothing to say."

They just met, okay? Things are bound to be a little awkward those first few months until they get to know each other. Until then, it'll be awkward silences and diaper changes.

The Perfect Ugly Sweater

"My boss and I had an ugly sweater competition." 

How do you win an ugly sweater competition? Tape a mirror to your sweater and tell everyone to take a look! They'll have a moment of self-reflection for sure.

Was This a Shortcut?

"I learned a very important lesson today!"

It seems that this truck may have tried to take a shortcut... Honestly, they just proved the point of the truck. For this trucker, the road to success is now nowhere in sight because he is stuck under an overpass. 

Accidents Happen! 

Seeing at this tram is on a rail, the car is definitely at fault. The driver of the car should have taken the message a little more to heart because now look what they've done! 

Getting a Tan

"Going back to work next week. Trying to convince my colleagues I had a beach holiday."

When you've got a prosthetic, there's no tanning to be done. So, he decided to put a little stain and varnish on his "thigh" to make it seem like he went to the beach. It'll be so believable! 

They Loved It!

"These guys sit at this table every morning. The restaurant owners made this sign to claim the table for them."

The friend group must have loved the sign since they kept it on the table! After all, how else are you going to claim a public restaurant table? It's perfect, especially for them.

Is This a Prank?

"Don't show this to my boss..."

Who is in charge of putting the boot on the parking inspection van? Was this a coworker? How did they not know the van was in violation? How did they mess this up? Who do they pay to get it off? Themselves?

Time for a Makeover

"My advice is: Never become a blonde!"

Never become a blonde with thick, black-rimmed glasses and a shaggy wolf cut. At least she can easily dye it another color... No one wants to look like Garth. 

Hilarious Mistake

"Is it, though?"

Do you think anyone at the factory who makes these saw this and was like, "I'll keep it, this is funny." The message of this fortune cookie feels a little less special since, ironically, the job was not well done. Would this even count?

This Isn't About You!

"My friend after he welcomed his first child."

It seems like Dad couldn't handle the birth of his child. At least he passed out in the best place he could: a hospital room filled with nurses and doctors. They deal with this kind of stuff all the time.

All Grown Up

"Recreating memories!"

This father and son duo decided to recreate one of their oldest photos together... His little boy is obviously all grown up because it looks like he's crushing his dad under his adult weight! At least he followed in his footsteps of getting tattooed.

Best Costume Award

"Looks like a perfect fit!"

Why get sad about your beer gut? Use it to your advantage! Avocado costumes are so easy to make because of it. Let it all hang out as this guy did!

Matching with the Bros

"We decided to underline our individuality. At the same time. With similar T-shirts. We are geniuses, aren't we?"

Let's promote individuality and diverse thinking with our matching t-shirts! Maybe it'll get the point across, or maybe it'll become a meme. Who knows?

Best of the Best

"This duck has achieved more than I have my entire life!'

Did the duck put those there? Does he even realize that he's the best juvenile waterfowl out there? Let's hope he knows because that's quite the achievement! 

The Job Search is Real

"Out here looking for a job like!"

These shelves are as empty as the job market. It's becoming more and more difficult to get a job due to the demand. This poor girl couldn't find a job and couldn't find her favorite cereal!

Totally Genius

"Humor can get you through the toughest of times."

This guy is obviously down on his luck, but that doesn't mean he can't crack a few jokes! Whether or not the poster is true, it's still a hilarious reason to ask for money. He didn't need his wife, anyway!

Perfect Makeup

"When you have to wash your hair but your makeup is fly."

She might look like a weirdo showing with goggles, but did it work? Yes. Does she have to wait for the goggle lines to get off her face before she goes out? Also yes, but at least she doesn't have to redo her makeup!

Shopping with Mom

"Is there a right time to break a tradition? Asking for a friend."

Listen, she always road in the cart when she went grocery shopping with her mom. What's so different about it now? She still fits!

He's Kind Of a Big Deal

"My high school government teacher put himself on a cover of Forbes and read it on a plane while he sat in first class for the first time in his life."

Go big or go home! If you want to feel important on your first first-class trip, just photoshop yourself onto the cover of Forbes magazine. No one will know the better!

Mom and Dad... Kind Of

"We just wanted to make sure our friend had graduation pictures with his mom and dad."

If your parents can't fly out to your graduation, no problem! These guys will gladly become your parents to take your photos with you. No questions asked! 

Dad's Not Pleased

"Kids have made my frustrated face their screensavers!"

The funniest one is the one whose phone screen is completely shattered. That was probably his reaction when they told him that they broke the screen! Now, they can all carry their father's frustration with them. 

Getting a Workout

"New workout plan."

If your New Years' resolution is to work out more, then this is a perfect idea! If it was to stop drinking, then this probably isn't a perfect idea. Maybe the weight cancels out the calories from the beer?

The Perfect Cast

"Turned my son's broken arm into infinite power."

Instead of having a lame cast, this kid has the coolest superpower ever! His dad grew the infinity gauntlet from the Avengers superhero universe. This is way cooler than a regular cast!

Happy Divorce!

"Who says divorce has to be a bad thing?"

They're not wrong! You threw a party for your marriage, why not throw a party for the divorce? It's a full circle!
