trolling

James Fridman has made himself the de facto authority on misinterpreting people's photoshop demands, and that's a good thing. People think they want to see strangers removed from photos, small touch ups and corrections, but that's never what they get. They get what they deserve, some sweet James Fridman photoshop trolls.

Yikes. This entitled musician had the audacity to ask a talented drummer to fly out from Germany on their own dime, and also play the commercial gig for free. When confronted on the absurdity of the "offer", the choosing beggar tries to play the lame "do it for the love of music" card. Yeah, the love is great and all, but people gotta eat, my dude. Clearly, there was no wiggle room in this guy's entitled little bubble. 

Man, these incompetent scammers just keep on coming right out of the woodwork. In this case, it sounds like the scammer was in way over their head from the start. On top of that, they'd clearly overplayed their scam to such a point that it was just going to be too easy to rightfully shut them down. Hence, the payment request and what we'd imagine was a very surprised and displeased scammer. 

People have been around for long enough that prankery, shenanigans and cons have enjoyed a great heyday. Pranks and trickery are nothing new, and it's a breath of fresh air to learn that governments, generals, and famous historical figures totally messed with people. For some extra history, here are some history memes that are technically educational. For extra shenanigans, here are some mad lads who played by their own rules.

You did a beautiful thing, my dude. Keep up the good work. Nothing melts our hearts like seeing a scammer get their comeuppance. 

Just in case you weren't already well aware at this point, James Fridman is the master of the photoshop trolling game. The dude brings the heat every time someone reaches out with a photoshop request. It honestly seems like it takes more skill and creativity to do what he's doing, versus actually delivery on the requests that he receives. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book. 

If there was a better way to troll entitled folks and their frustrating demands, well we'd have to see it. As for artists who deliberately make bad art to mess with people who want free stuff, we're all for it.

Some signs are just impossible to ignore. Intentional or not, nothing catches your attention better than clever (or shocking) words that get the message across. That's what makes funny Tumblr posts go viral, and it's also why we love funny signs and advertisements so much. We rounded up the most entertaining signs we came across this week. Hopefully they'll get a smirk out of you, too.

There's nothing that melts our hearts quite like a scammer getting their time wasted, after trying to waste someone else's time (and money). This particular scammer got taken on the kind of journey that we could only hope taught him a necessary lesson. And that lesson is to NOT be a scammer. They are the bane of everyone's existence. 

Rob Lowe's kids do a phenomenal job at calling out their dad's various (awesome) Instagram posts with Grade A wit and spice. What's more is all this banter in the comments section highlights the fact that Rob Lowe is clearly one of those lovely human beings who doesn't bother with the act of taking himself too seriously.

Sometimes the purest expression of friendship is to give your buddy a hard time. Take this guy for instance, who lent his friend a pair of snazzy kicks for his wedding. His buddy could've sent him a ton of warm, bubbly, wholesome pictures of people celebrating at the wedding. Instead, he decided to document the shoes' journey. That last shot is gold. Those shoes look so happy. 

Everyone loves a bad joke. Especially when it's about movies being ridiculous, sometimes. There's just something about bad jokes that help us not take everything so seriously. And when you start taking it less seriously, all of a sudden laughter arises. And if you can't get enough, these Bad Jokes  are going to surprise you with its hilarious absurdity.
