Usually, we stare at pictures because they contain something we like, something that calls to us in a meaningful way. This isn’t a set of those images; instead, we’ve gathered a lot of examples of images that make you do a double take. Is what you saw really what’s going on?
Well, it is and it isn’t, and we’ll have to go on a case-by-case basis. There are cases where what you see is literally what is going on, and it’s just hard to process how ridiculous it looks. The other cases are a trick, where the situation isn’t what you saw at first, although that doesn’t necessarily make it better.

Tear Cap
Depending on the angle, this cap can make you look like a sort of cheap mime. However, if you get that tear sunburned into your cheek, you can get the look semi-permanently.

Smoke Break
Who’s behind the mask animating parties for children? It isn’t always a pretty lady, and let’s leave it at that.
r/hmmm
Batcat
House cats judging you from behind the TV screen is nothing new, but them aligning perfectly with the characters is always eye-catching. The Joker is in for a surprise.
r/hmmm
Outdoor Toilette
Just because you have to do a number 2 in the wild outdoors, doesn’t mean you have to do it like an animal. Not sure what flushing means in this context, though.
r/hmmm
Darth Vaderina
We have to assume this picture was staged, if nothing else, due to how impossible it might be to read through that helmet. If not, it seems this cosplayer decided to catch up on her recipe reading at a strange time.
r/hmmm
Grim Jumpscare
Due to the colors of the steps blending with the ceiling, this picture looks far grim than what it actually is. Look closely and you’ll notice it’s just some odd framing.
r/hmmm
Fake Buff
Don’t let the poor quality of the picture fool you, this is just a man with a shirt, not a topless muscular man. It requires a certain kind of bravery to wear that kind of shirt.
r/hmmm
Bolted Ear
Assuming the screw was properly sanitized, this is still an incredibly bad idea. Still, people have put strange things on their ears before, and this one is at least properly bolted.
r/hmmm
Perspective
Yes, this is the same picture simply turned upside-down. Back in the day, this was the only way to get the double-take effect, before pictures and the internet were made more widespread.
r/hmmm
Unorthodox Instrument
There is a lot to unpack in this picture. We don’t know how best to do it, in any case. The uniform, the repurposed container, the face. Sometimes, it’s best not to ask questions and move on.
r/hmmm
Danger on the Road
How perilous is this, really? At first glance, it looks like the truck should just roll to the road immediately, but it somehow doesn’t. This is because the vehicle is secured by a cable underneath, something easy to miss.
r/hmmm
Milky Snails
Snails need to keep their moisture however they can, and it seems like milk is one way to do it. Of course, one wonders if this is a simple infestation, or if this home owner has some very peculiar pets.
r/hmmm
Lizard Menace
This may look like a nightmare scenario, but in some parts of the world (many of them not that distant), this is your average afternoon. Some lizards just like the company.
r/hmmm
Hard to Choose
We’ve all been where this horse has been. You have some spare change, you go to the vending machine, and just can’t decide what to get. So let’s leave this poor horse to his thinking, shall we?
r/hmmm
Posing Manequines
Manequines need to be in different poses, otherwise we won’t get a good look at the clothes being advertised. These are certainly interesting choices, though, and not poses you’d make in your everyday life.
