Sometimes, life’s most hilarious moments happen unintentionally. It could be two coincidental signs posted side-by-side that perfectly complement each other, or an off-the-cuff joke that drew out more than a bunch of laughs.
Check out these photos to see what we mean. These are from the Accidental Comedy subreddit, a growing online group of 182,000 members with a common theme: anything that is unintentionally funny. And so far, they’ve been able to draw out at least a few chuckles online.
We’ve compiled this list of images from the page to hopefully bring you some good vibes today. Enjoy!

Ever wondered how some people can be inherently funny while others don’t seem to have a sense of humor at all? Improv comedy and sketch writing coach Anthony Ellison mentioned one factor that likely isn’t mentioned when humor is the subject matter: caring about the things around you.
“The number one quality of funny people is that they have the confidence to care wholeheartedly about most things around them,” Allison wrote on LinkedIn. “A LOT...and out loud.”

Allison further explained that some of the best comedians, such as Larry David, can have a unique and comical perspective on things because they remember the details of their surroundings. All because they care about the environment around them.
There is nothing funnier than someone who gets hung up on the lady who interrupts people at church,” he wrote, adding that caring about what’s happening around you allows you to view your environment “for its potential stakes and add fuel to the fire.” This also allows you to view things from a more interesting and funnier perspective.

If you feel like you’re lacking in terms of sense of humor, don’t fret. There are ways to improve it, and the steps involved are not complicated at all.

Among other tips that Philips shared are being playful, laughing at yourself, noticing the ridiculousness in every situation of daily life, and avoiding negative news. She also advised asking yourself, “Is this something I’ll look back on and laugh about in the months or years to come?”
“If the answer is yes, then why wait months or years? Start laughing straight away,” she urged.

Another important piece of advice that Philips shared was to add a “humor item” to your daily to-do list. It could be reading a few paragraphs from a funny book or article, watching a video, or even learning a joke.
As she noted, this activity only takes a few minutes of your time each day. She also added an insightful piece of information: humor isn’t a one-off event.
