Sculpture art has been a staple of the tourism industry. People love visiting museums and taking pictures of the antique sculptures and getting awed by the beauty. However, it’s not necessary to be deadly serious with art. You’ll discover how inventive individuals can be, by looking at this collection of photographs people took with sculptures. Below are some hilarious images people have created that’ll make your day!

Bear’s Very Own Gwen Stacy

The black bear is holding the girl like Spider-Man held his beloved Gwen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Doesn’t it look like the perfect recreation of the actual scene?

Maybe this girl is a die-hard Marvel fan who saw a perfect opportunity to recreate the series scene. The bear’s holding her the same way as Spider-Man did, and even the bear’s facial expression looks the same. The girl has posed perfectly to mimic the scene. Where’s her Oscar for such an idea?

Doubling Over in Giggles

Everyone has used the acronym LOL for “laughing out loud” in text messages with friends and others, but have you ever seen a LOL image? If so, have you ever seen it in enormous statues?

These two girls have discovered the ideal location and companion to pose with to conjure up an amusing visual. Oh, quit stating that laughing too much makes your stomach hurt! Hats off to these two girls for sharing the creative photo and making the internet laugh.

Baby Tug of War

Have you ever participated in a high school tug of war competition? In order to pull the entire rope to their side, the team on each side makes every effort to drag the other team across the line.

Yes, this particular image will bring to mind a tug-of-war game. The man standing on the edge of the pillar might be trying to say, “Give me the girl,” while the statue is holding her infant in the air, “No way, she’s mine!” Yet, how is the man maintaining his balance while perched on the edge? Wow.

A Big Bite

This unique statue is accompanied by a unique pose from these youngsters. It seems like this huge sculpture has captured these young fellas and is ready to bite them. They need someone to save them! It’s a perfect picture.

Bite Me

The sculpture is so detailed and looks like an old woman who’s ready for her meal. The saliva-filled mouth is big enough to fill all three people inside and enjoy the bite!

Fight the Dinosaurs

Have you ever considered going up against a dinosaur? Or perhaps you’re yearning for brief contact with powerful dinosaurs after viewing the new Jurassic World series? If not, can you even call yourself a Jurassic World fan?

Fight the Dinosaurs

Nobody truly dares to take on a dinosaur, but these two sculptures of dinosaurs can grant your wish in life and you won’t have to worry about them biting or attacking you. No one on Instagram can tell that your poses and photos are fake, and because you faced the dinosaurs, you gain points for bravery.

Please Get Out of the Park

This picture shows that the statue didn’t enjoy the boy entering his domain and wandering around aimlessly, since nobody loves when their space is violated without justification.

Please Get Out of the Park

Or perhaps the baseball bat in his hand indicates that the statue was a young baseball player? He’s currently on the field and is swinging his bat with all his might, hitting the youngster in the head as if he were a hardball. But isn’t this penalty, beating a little guy, excessive? Justice is needed for the little guy!

A Flying High Five

Want to give a Greek goddess a high five? It appears like the man is jumping as high as possible to get himself the high five of his life.

A Flying High Five, Maybe?

Or was it that he had been looking forward to meeting a stunning Greek Goddess his entire life? So when he first saw her, he leaped for joy. If only you could jump higher, your wish to high-five a goddess might also come true. Because, you know, dreams do come true.

Mortal Kombat on the Streets

Has Mortal Kombat now reached the public? Or is this what people who love the Mortal Kombat characters do in public? This person has come up with the ideal stance for all the Liu Kang fans who love to take pictures, share them on Instagram, and wow their followers.

Mortal Kombat on the Streets

Would it be wise to practice karate? But why is he attacking these businessmen while they’re going about their daily affairs? Hmm, let’s presume that they did something wrong.

Don’t Touch the Fruits

Are you one of those people who doesn’t like it when others touch your belongings? Well, it appears that the statue woman has similar thoughts. The human woman sure does seem to be taking a beating!

How Dare You Touch My Fruits?

People should act properly because whoever touches your things will be punished like this girl was. Nice try, girl!

Uncle Ben Hitting Peter Parker

Benjamin Franklin Parker, sometimes known as Uncle Ben, is a fictional character that frequently appears alongside the superhero Spider-Man in the comic books published by Marvel Comics. He’s May Parker’s husband, Peter Parker’s paternal uncle, and a father figure.

But in this case, it appears that Uncle Ben doesn’t approve of the person Peter Parker has become. Or maybe he disagrees with Peter’s mission to save the world, as Spider-Man. Maybe Uncle Ben wants Spider-Man to complete his education first?

Shady Trades

Ever struck a secret bargain with someone in your life? An agreement you don’t want others to be aware of? This replication of the idea of how these shady agreements are formed is among the funniest we’ve seen.

This is meant to be amusing, but look at how carefully this individual has curated the concept. He appears to be slipping some cash into the statue’s palm as payment for a dubious business agreement. This guy undoubtedly made the internet laugh aloud with this image!

He Executed This Pose Flawlessly

Just in case you run out of ideas, this man has expertly demonstrated how to capture a cute and humorous image with a sculpture. Simply strike the statue’s stance, and there you have it! The ideal Instagram shot is ready to be posted on your feed.

This is a respectable but amusing-looking photo to surprise your friends and family with your pictures. Or perhaps this image could work some magic to make them wonder who’s the better poser? You or the statue?

We Know What You Did There

That sly face is the epitome of, “Oh, I know what you did there, but don’t worry, I’m not going to tell anybody.” “What happens in Rome, stays in Rome, eh?” would be the ideal caption for this picture to be shared on social media.

I Know What You Did There

After posting this on her Instagram, we can bet that the girl’s friends and followers had a good laugh. But doesn’t the statue guy seem a little concerned? Someone should make sure that his secret is safe.

Taking a Gamble With Life

Playing cards while chatting with friends sounds like a lot of fun, right? You may get the impression from looking at this that this man is enjoying himself while playing cards and conversing with his skeleton pals.

Although many people might be terrified of sitting with skeletons, the man’s appearance gives us the impression that he’s perhaps hanging out with some of his best friends. This picture will undoubtedly make you chuckle and brighten your day.

Not So Happy Meal

The McDonald’s clown is a familiar figure to us all from our youth. When we were kids, we always wanted to pose for a picture next to McDonald’s. Even though the Ronald statues at each McDonald’s are posed differently, we can safely conclude that this one is the funniest of them all.

Not So Happy Meal

His arm is raised as if he were about to give someone a really strong whack. Because people are so inventive and constantly think of fresh and exciting strategies to uplift others online, this might end in a humorous way.

Hey, Release His Neck!

This monkey statue seemed to be cuddling the man a little too tightly. What a funny pose! Want to cuddle with a gorilla? If so, go to this sculpture and climb into the gorilla’s arms.

Hey, Release My Neck
Hey, Release His Neck!

Be careful, though, because if he cuddles you too tightly, you might not be able to breathe. This guy struck the perfect pose with this gorilla sculpture. After all, animals are naturally more affectionate than humans.

Beauty and Her Real-Life Beast

We’ve all heard the tales of the princess who fell in love with a prince who was cursed to turn into a beast. Even Disney produced a film called Beauty and the Beast based on the tale.

Beauty and Her Real Life Beast

It appears that this woman has found her true love in the form of this sculpture. Isn’t she charming in the way she’s looking at him? As amusing as it seems, the lady perfectly created real-life beauty and the beast.

Oh, He’s Done it Again

Oh dear bear, it appears he has somehow wronged the girl in his arms. But hold on, the bear resembles a statue. Yes, that’s a statue, but notice his sad expression.

Oh, I’ve Done it Again
Oh, He’s Done it Again

The young cyclist seemed to be swaying in the bear’s arms uncontrollably. Moreover, this makes us think of a scene from the movie King Kong where King Kong is seen holding his pal in a similar manner. What a striking likeness this woman has produced to the movie!

Say Cheese

At the Griffith Library in Los Angeles, this sculpture is prepared for a selfie with his pals – the tourists. Or perhaps he’s too eager to look at the cellphone in his palm and wonder, “Oh, you push this button, and it takes a picture, really?”

Say Cheese

Obviously, considering how far technology has advanced in the modern era, this young guy is enjoying the moment while posing for a selfie. The smile on his face is remarkable, and the curious look of the sculpture is another funny thing.

Lady, What Do You Want?

This is an ideal picture of asking someone for directions or other information. However, the sculpture appears to find this woman bothersome. Maybe she’s asking him how to leave the gallery, but because he’s never actually left the building, he can’t possibly know.

Lady, What Do You Want?
Lady, What Do You Want?

The statue appears to be saying, “Ma’am, I truly don’t understand what you’re saying; please stop bothering me and leave my area.” The woman is striking the ideal pose for real-world situations. How wonderful! This is literally what happens when you ask someone for directions – they make the same expression as this sculpture.

Sorry, Honey

Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam, or at work, and returned home to find your better half upset and refusing to speak to you? Quite a few people have experienced that, right?

Sorry, Honey

The sculpture seems to be saying, “Don’t talk to me, I’m angry,” while the man pleads with her to at least look at him. He also seems to be promising that this won’t happen again. It seems like a story about a real-life couple!

The Epic Ice Age Battle

It must be pointed out that whoever put this snowman in front of a triceratops has a terrific sense of humor. Maybe a snowman and the powerful triceratops engaged in combat during the Ice Age?

The Epic Ice Age Battle

Were there any snowmen back when dinosaurs, more notably Triceratops, roamed the Earth? We assume there weren’t. However, this is still funny! A small snowman must have considerable courage to face the massive triceratops; he deserves a medal for his bravery! But how can one use a sword to slay a dinosaur? Maybe the courageous snowman has powers that can’t be seen?

Go Back to School, Kid

Everyone has a childhood memory of refusing to go to school, right? Look at how precise this depiction is! It appears as though a parent is pressuring his child to return to school, and the child is refusing.

Go Back to School Kid

However, the child’s attempts to skip school are futile. When you view this image as an adult, you can’t help but wonder if this is what you used to do. It looks hilarious! This guy posed with the statue perfectly.

A Tasty Bread Crumb

One might look at this picture and say to themselves, “find yourself a man who looks at you the way this pigeon is staring at the bread crumb.” This pigeon’s joy at finding food for the day has the appearance of a love story. But why does that man seem so terrified?

A Tasty Bread Crumb

His facial expression suggests that the enormous pigeon was poised to swallow him whole. Maybe the man has ornithophobia, which is a persistent fear of birds, and he’s afraid of pigeons.

Got a Million Followers

Everyone’s familiar with the joy of reaching millions of views on YouTube or Instagram. This man is a good depiction of someone reaching a goal and telling everyone about it. “Hey, I’ve reached a million followers!”

See, I Got a Million Followers
Got a Million Followers

This might be the most wonderful and joyful time of his life! Additionally, notice how intently the statue is examining the man’s phone as if he were one of this influencer’s subscribers. Perhaps they’re great friends and share the same happiness for one another? That appears to be the case.

Failed Ring Around the Rosie

There’s always that one person that trips, followed by everyone else. This guy did a similar thing with children who were possibly playing and singing “Ring Around the Rosie.”

You can assume this man is merely having fun while striking a silly pose in front of the statue. He’s captured the ideal timing and pose to take a photo that’ll make people laugh out loud! What a fantastic concept for providing internet users with some funny stuff!

Chiropractor or Blacksmith?

Did this Greek chiropractor have prior experience as a blacksmith? It appears that he did. He’s holding this man as if he’s some sort of iron instrument and is preparing to strike him with his hammer.

Chiropractor or Blacksmith?

Hats off to this man for giving everyone a laugh and coming up with something so unique. Since the Greek statue’s position is so precise, you can assume that this is exactly how a blacksmith forges swords.

Officer, We Didn’t Do It

Does this image resemble a recreation of the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? When Miami police catch you, the identical scenes play out in the game. But, oh, playing that game is fun!

Officer, I Didn’t Do It
Officer, We Didn’t Do It

“Please listen to me; I don’t know these men; they were trying to rob me; I simply hit them.” The man seems to be pleading with the officer and trying to make him understand. The cop doesn’t appear to believe the man, though. He may even transport him to the police department. This is a great group photo!

Humpty Dumpty Wants Revenge

Everyone learned the song, “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,” as children. Do you think you can still picture the character Humpty Dumpty from the poem?

Humpty Dumpty Wants a Revenge
Humpty Dumpty Wants Revenge

Yes, it’s identical to this sculpture. Although, in this instance, Humpty Dumpty appears a little hostile and poised to eat the woman’s leg. Perhaps he’s upset because all the king’s horses and all the king’s men failed to fix him?

Just a Few More Miles

Just a few more miles to go, my dear fellow, and you’ll reach your destination. Don’t give up! This person jumping on the sculpture’s large rucksack and telling people not to tell the statue, brings back memories of when we were children and wanted to go to the store with our moms.

Just a Few More Miles
Just a Few More Miles

If mom said ‘no,’ we’d cling to her leg. It’s interesting to think about that, now that we’re adults. However, those were the glory days. This image is an interesting representation of that memory.

Alexa, Play Single Ladies by Beyoncé

These two ladies created the perfect example of “girls just wanna have fun.” These ladies are getting on the floor, dancing, and having a moment. Such a happy and funny-looking picture puts a smile on people’s faces!

Also, the statue seems to be enjoying these two ladies, too. All of them have the same stance! The girls make it look like more of a dance party rather than a museum. That being said, striking a pose for fun never hurt anyone, right? So, Alexa, please keep playing “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé.

He Needs All the Water

This picture contains The Merlion in Singapore and some guy having his water. This photo was taken with perfect timing! This photo looks a bit funny, though, because how could a lion be spitting a fountain of water from his mouth that goes directly into the man’s mouth?

I Need All the Water
He Needs All the Water

Does this guy even know if the water is clean or not? Let’s hope he posed like this just for fun and he’s not actually drinking it. Hats off to the person who took this picture at the right moment! After all, it’s all about timing and the man’s perfect facial expressions. However, you can see the guy’s water bottle in his pocket.

Yay! It’s Finally Over!

This image of the smiling soldier sculpture who’s just returned from combat, along with the man giving him a high five and cheering in relief that the war is finished, is currently trending online.

Yay! It’s Finally Over
Yay! It’s Finally Over!

The soldier seemed delighted to be returning home and bringing the good news everyone had been waiting for. This is the perfect cheerful image! However, we’re curious how the man in the picture managed to jump that high. Is he some sort of gymnast or something?

Race With the Long Horns

This has to be the craziest pose of all! Has anyone been to Dallas, Texas, and seen the cattle drive sculptures? These bulls appear to be sprinting for their lives. And for some reason, these women are sprinting beside them. It’s a unique idea for a picture!

Race With the Long Horns
Race With the Long Horns

This brings to mind the moment from The Lion King where Mufasa is hurt, and the animals all start to flee in different directions. The hilarious expression on these women’s faces makes the picture even more amusing.

Look Out!

This is so typical of modern crooks – they rob you blind as soon as you turn your back. Speaking of criminals, this man is not your usual offender, in that he’s simply committed this crime for amusement.

Look Out
Look Out!

The statue’s bags appear to be taken as soon as he turned around to hug the love of his life. This man’s facial expressions are definitely amusing and perfectly resemble that of a thief!

Got a Drinking Buddy

If you’ve had the experience of going out and drinking alone, you’ll like this one. Observing others enjoying themselves while partying and drinking with their partners, can be sad if you’re all alone.

Got Myself a Drinking Buddy
Got a Drinking Buddy

Well, don’t worry! This guy has the answer to your problem. He’s found the right drinking buddy for him, so he never has to be alone again. Stop drinking alone and grab two glasses of your beverage of choice, one for you and one for your close friend, and enjoy each other’s company while you drink.
