Internet challenges have seen people do a lot of dumb things over the years. We had teenagers risking their health by blindly eating Tide pods and ground cinnamon by the spoonful, to more inane things like the mannequin challenge, where people just stopped what they were doing and froze right in place.
But, we’ve also seen some good things come out of it, like the ice bucket challenge of 2014 that supported ALS.
Now we have a different Internet challenge that’s making people laugh, but this one only works if you’re a bearded man looking straight up at the ceiling. As these 75 funny photos will show, it turns out that the view from below the bushy chin actually looks quite hilarious!
This beard may seem a bit off when you first see it. But take a closer look, and it actually looks pretty ordinary. It’s just a regular guy sporting a fiery red Mohawk.
This kind of looks like a used Brillo pad that’s been scraping pots and pans. You may even spot some bits of caked-on food that got caught in the bristles!
The scruffy beard looks awfully like
Cousin Itt from
The Addams Family! All it’s missing is an old-fashioned bowler hat and spiffy black sunglasses.
4) The “Up In Toke” Beard
Cheech and Chong would be proud of this slacker’s beard. It’s bushy, it’s unruly, and it comes with its own rolled up joint.
Remember
Hagrid from Harry Potter? This is probably what he’d look like if one of those Slytherin kids cast a magic spell that made his face disappear!
6) The Edward Mordrake Beard
Did you get freaked out during the fourth season of
American Horror Story, when Edward Mordrake showed us the demon face on the back of his head? The guy behind this creepy neckface selfie is trying to duplicate those same eerie special effects by Photoshopping his face onto his neck!
All this needs is a frown and big bulging eyes to make this look like
Beaker from the Muppets. Mi mi mi mi mi!
8) The Inbred Beaker Beard
If Beaker had an inbred cousin with Ed Sheeran as the dad, this is probably what he’d look like. As for this guy’s totally flawless neck, check out what this Redditer had to say about how silky smooth it is.
@thepunishersQueen:
“He has great under the beard skin! No bumps or random straggler hairs. I’m impressed!”
9) The Has-Been Rock Star Beard
The receding hairline right up the center part looks sort of like a landing strip. But, it also kind of looks like this has-been rock star’s forehead is giving everyone the finger!
10) The Why Men Shouldn’t Shave Their Beard, Beard
Ironically enough, the clean-shaven look has a way of making this guy’s neck and chin seem very dirty! Now that you can’t unsee this naughty little POV, just pretend it’s an innocent little mudskipper.
Well it’s not an exact dupe for the
Lego Man, but it’s close enough. All it needs is a collection of interchangeable man wigs and construction hats to make it legit!
12) The Mark Zuckerberg Beard
Does this close-cropped ginger ‘do remind you of any famous social media the Internet with that hairline?
13) The Balancing Act Beard
This beard is quite the accomplished athlete! It looks like it’s balancing a pair of lacrosse sticks right on the tip of its pointy little head.
14) The Too Silly For Words Beard
Well, if you’re going to stare up at the ceiling and let the whole world see what’s hiding underneath your chin, you may as well do something funny and make everyone chuckle. Are you laughing yet, or is this beard business just too silly for your taste?
Remember
Screech from
Saved by the Bell? Yeah, the early 90’s was a long time ago, but that curly white boy ‘fro that Screech sported was probably one of the most memorable parts about the series.
16) The Failed “Big Hair Band” Beard
This overgrown mullet disaster is definitely in need of some serious manscaping! It’s almost like a compilation look of every single member of a failed 1980’s big hair band.
17) The Michael Jackson Beard
Michael Jackson was stylin’ shiny jheri curls exactly like this on the cover of his 1982 album
Thriller. Even the wispy tendrils of hair are hugging his forehead in just the right place!
@John Bennick:
“I have worn a beard for almost fifty years, but looking at these photos tempts me to shave it off.”
18) The “Prison Inmate Haircut” Beard
This is the kind of haircut that mom probably would have given you when you were 10 because she was too cheap to take you to the barber. It’s not so bad, as long as you don’t look at yourself from behind.
19) The Skimbleshanks “Cats” Beard
Do you see the two little ears on top of the head and the whiskers poking out of the sides? This could easily be
Skimbleshanks from Broadway’s
Cats!
This punk Mohawk kind of resembles the one that
Mr. T made famous on the TV show
The A-Team. I pity the fool who dares to duplicate this God-awful ‘do!
This is pretty much every guy at the gym when you’re looking at it from behind. It even has the thick, bulging neck and sad little ears that’s typical of steroid abusing gym rats!
Looks like this fuzzy face has a bad case of hypertrichosis, or Werewolf Syndrome. It’s a medical condition characterized by excessive hair growth all over their face and body.
23) The Five-O’Clock Shadow Conehead Beard
This looks like one of the
Coneheads that
Saturday Night Live alumn Dan Aykryod and Jane Curtin brought to the big screen back in the early 90’s. Except, this one has grown a fuzzy five-o’clock shadow!
24) The Prophylactic Beard
Well, at least this beard is well “protected.” It’s not like all the other irresponsible beards out there that have been going bareback.
Who here has the sudden urge to grab a pair of scissors and cut this man bun off? Man buns are already a blot on our society. We can’t just let them start growing out of control on our men’s beards, too!
Ed Sheeran most likely didn’t have this funky beard in mind when he sang “I’m in love with the shape of you.” But, if wild tumbleweed of a beard belonged to Ed Sheeran’s, we could certainly grow to like it.
27) The Black Beaker Beard
If Beaker from
Sesame Street had a big black brother from another mother, this would definitely be him! This is one beard you don’t want to mess with.
28) The Balding Guy From Accounting Beard
This messed up beard looks like that balding guy from accounting who’s always trying to pull off a combover. Looks like it worked this time around, because there’s no hair left on the back of his head!
29) The Dominar Rygel XVI Beard
Anyone here a fan of the campy Australian-American sci-fi series
Farscape? This beard looks exactly like the head of
Dominar Rygel!
30) The Senior Citizen “Magic Mike” Beard
Remember the dancers from
Magic Mike who were wearing neckties? This is almost like them, except it looks like a more seasoned salt-and-pepper version of the hot male strippers.
31) The Everyday Subway Commuter Beard
Just about every commuter who travels to work on the subway, train, or bus is sporting a look like this. It’s all about earbuds, iTunes, and rock’n’roll!
32) The 12-Year-Old Boy Beard
What does this look like to you? It kind of resembles a 12-year-old boy who hasn’t hit is growth spurt yet. But, just wait a few more weeks and his neck will finally sprout.
The shape is certainly there for snow globe and he even seems to have the coloring there as if all the little snowflakes were filling it up when shaken.
Does this wild and unruly ‘do remind you of Don King? He’s just as famous for his outrageous, stand up straight hair as he is for his days as an American boxing promoter.
This guy was taking pics of his beard while he looked up at the ceiling back in ’98! That makes him an early adopter of this crazy fad, and also explains why this beard looks so weird.
36) The Cartoon Bump On The Head Beard
Remember those cartoons where someone gets smacked on the head and a big old bump starts growing right before your very eyes? That’s exactly what it looks like is happening here!
37) The American Pie Beard
Hey look, it’s
Jim from
American Pie! You know, the guy who famously tried to get sweet with America’s most iconic dessert. Don’t see the resemblance? Just look at the long nose.
Dan here has been serving up excellence since 2000. Looks like part of that involves letting kids take a bite of his crunchy head of head.
39) The Dr. Dre Beats Beard
This bearded wonder is doing what we all want to do – spend the day listing to our favorite tunes with a cool pair of Beats headphones. If only this guy spent as much money grooming his fugly hair as he did on his music accessories.
40) The Albert Einstein Beard
Albert Einstein is known for his crazy hair, and this guy’s beard seems to mimic it pretty well.
41) The Defensive Lineman Beard
Does this guy remind you of an NFL defensive lineman? That thick neck and broad shoulders are well suited to tackle even the speediest of running backs! And it looks like he’s taken a bump to his head quite a few times!
42) The Pimple On The Back Of The Neck Beard
Don’t you just hate it when you get a huge zit that shows up overnight out of nowhere? It’s even worse when you find one growing on the back of your neck. Ewww!
43) The College Basketball Player Beard
This pitiful beard looks like every
college basketball player ever before they go pro. Once they make it to the NBA, they can finally rock full-on hipster beards like James Harden.
44) The “Sherminator” Beard
Remember the ginger-haired geek from
American Pie who nicknamed himself “
Sherminator” in the movie? Yep, this is him rocking that finger-in-the-electrical-socket look!
45) The “Sloth” (From The Goonies) Beard
When Sloth and Chunk from
The Goonies bonded over a Baby Ruth candy bar, it was the start of a wonderful new friendship. This Sloth beard look, on the other hand, is the start of something that’s far from being sweet.
46) The Barely There Beard
This wiry-haired beard is barely there, but apparently it has a lot to say. And what it’s saying is “help me, I’m doomed to be a stupid caricature of myself!”
47) The Shy Boy Next Door Beard
This disheveled looking beard looks kind of like the shy boy next door. Don’t you just want to run your fingers through his hair and make him blush all the way down his v-neck?
48) The Shabby Chic Beard
The nerdy Clark Kent glasses are a must for a bearded look like this But, it’s the polished pink manicure that really makes this scream shabby chic!
49) The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Beard
Doesn’t this beard look sort of like
Ferris Bueller? While the economics teacher humorously repeated “Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?” during attendance roll call, this cool cat was playing sick at home.
Short or long, or anything in between, the mullet has no business existing in any decade. Even the 80’s hated it!
51) The Pervert Next Door Beard
Want to know what the pervert next door looks like? Take a good hard look at this beard, the giraffe, the blow-up palm tree (eww, what’s he doing with that?) and you have your answer. Avoid close encounters with this beard at all cost!
52) The “I Tried To Cut My Own Hair” Beard
Okay, so you got a hair clipper for Christmas and you’re just dying to try it out. Don’t. Just don’t. Or you’ll end up looking as effed up as this poor bastard.
53) The Tough Italian Granny Beard
This tough Italian granny may not have a lot of hair left on her head, but that doesn’t mean she has to look like Uncle Joe right after he got out of prison. A pair of hoop earrings and a pearl necklace ought to make her look like a dainty little lady!
Male pattern baldness is such a tragedy. This must be the “before” picture for Rogaine hair-growing shampoo.
Hey look, the hair growing shampoo worked! Only, it worked a little bit to well and spread all over the poor bloke’s face. No wonder he wants to hide behind a pair of glasses.
56) The Divorced Dad Beard
This poor middle-aged dad beard is sitting home all alone on a Friday night. But the night, unlike him, is still young . If he keeps flicking through Tinder for Seniors, maybe he’ll find someone who loves the salt-and-pepper look.
57) The Hitchhiking Drifter Beard
If you ever see a bushy beard like this sticking out his thumb on the side of the highway, don’t stop! There’s probably a serial killer underneath all that hairy havoc.
Awww, how cute! This looks like a toddler trying to be a big boy by putting on his own shirt.
59) The Bert From Sesame Street Beard
This kooky beard looks an awful lot like
Bert from Sesame Street. The only thing that’s missing is the unibrow and a big, wide smile.
60) The Mr. Snuffleupagus Beard
Check it out – it’s
Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street! Do you see the big elephant trunk and the 2 eyeballs with very fluffy lashes?
61) The “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” Beard
Bonnie Tyler, eat your “total eclipse of the heart” out! This beard has gone 1980’s MTV retro.
62) The “Mr. Clean Tries To Grow His Hair Back” Beard
Have you ever wondered if Mr. Clean could actually grow any hair on that shiny bald head of his? Maybe he prefers to keep a clean-shaven look because this silly tuft of white hair is all he has left.
63) The Court Jester Beard
This beard looks exactly like the
court jester cap from medieval times. You know what I’m talking about here – it had little jingly bells dangling off the ends of the “horns.”
What are we even looking at here? I think it might be Jabba the Hutt wearing one of those lame propeller beanie hats.
65) The Sylvester Stallone Beard
66) The Strangely Well-Manicured Beard
This beard is strangely well-manicured from the bottom. I wonder if his girlfriend thinks she’s cheating on him with another guy when she looks up at his chin from this point of view?
Pauly D from
Jersey Shore sported a tapered blowout ‘do that looked like the
Devils Tower had eroded down to a little stub. This beard is probably what his hair looked like fresh out of the shower, right before he applied the massive amounts of gel that turned it to stone.
68) The Dumb And Dumber Beard
Remember Jim Carrey’s bowl haircut in
Dumber and Dumber? Well, this beard is even dumber-er than that.
69) The NFL Quarterback Beard
This pretty much sums up what every NFL athlete looks like from the rear. The rear of his head, I mean. Those tiny little ears though are something else! Don’t you just want to pull on it and see if he squeaks?
70) The “I Just Ate A Mouse” Beard
You know how boa constrictors have that grotesque bulging look right after they eat a mouse? That’s what’s happening right here.
71) The “Alien” Egg Beard
Stay away from this beard if you don’t want to end up like John Hurt from
Alien! Any minute now a facehugger is going to pop out and impregnate your mouth.
72) The Steve Martin Beard
Actor
Steve Martin has maintained a pretty full head of hair for most of his life, even when it turned completely white. But, now that he’s 74 years old, his hairs are getting a little bit thinner and look something like this.
73) The 12-Year-Old Girl Beard
This girly girl braid is perfect for dudes that are looking to take away their manhood without actually castrating themselves. I guess you could say this a form of eunuch-by-proxy?
74) The Old Man Mr. T Beard
Oh dear, Mr. T has definitely seen better days! But now it looks like he’s got wrinkled old skin and random hairs are sprouting everywhere.
No wonder Big Foot prefers to stay hidden! But, if you like your men carpeted in hair, this is about as good as it gets.
