Have you ever taken the perfect photo with an even better story behind it? A picture is worth a thousand words, sure, but some great photos with hilarious backstories seem to be worth double that. So, we’ve gathered some of the best pictures that have even greater explanations behind them. From obscure moments to improbable situations, keep reading to see awesome images and real first-hand accounts that are unlike anything you’ve seen before.

When Dad Pinned Down Chuck Norris

Dads often have all kinds of extraordinary stories, but not often will they tell you about a time that they were able to wrestle with a celebrity. Chuck is known to be a black belt in jiu-jitsu and judo, so we’re guessing that he was taking easy on this dad based on the smiling faces. It’s all fun and games until Chuck Norris flips this father around by simply lifting a finger.

The unbelievable part about this picture isn’t necessarily the fact that this person’s dad was with Chuck Norris; it’s mostly because their dad was actually able to apparently pin him down.

A Very Unique Visit From a Butterfly

Imagine sitting down for a quick rest while minding your own business, when suddenly you get a visit from a surprise little natural wonder. what’s even more special is that it decided to stay long enough for this guy to snap this marvelous photo to show his friends, as well as the rest of the internet. This must be an sign of good luck – we’ve never seen anything like it.

It’s well known that this specific species of butterfly commonly has a beautifully unique pattern that resembles the number ’89’, which is a fact that makes this one even more special.

A Tree Climbing, Pizza Eating Squirrel

The person who posted this image had a friend that texted them a very unusual message. The friend said that she was watching a squirrel eat an entire slice of pizza while sitting in a tree. They basically wouldn’t believe it unless the friend sent them pictures, and it’s not too hard to understand why. We do hope the squirrel enjoyed its meal, even though someone tragically lost a pizza slice that day.

Squirrels are constantly desperate for food, so it’s no surprise that this one managed to steal an entire slice of pizza before climbing up a tree to munch on it in private.

An Adorable Owl Flew Into This Car

Owls are nocturnal creatures that leave their nests in the nighttime, but they don’t always choose to fly into a car. A person was driving in Las Vegas when one flew directly into their vehicle. They were simply driving on the street with the windows open when it happened. Surely, they’re going to keep all the windows closed next time they decide to hit the road in the middle of the night.

It took this driver about three whole hours to figure out how to get this creature out of their car. We can see why because even though it’s adorable, this would be a tricky situation.

Someone Confused the Return Policy

We’re not sure what’s funnier; the fact that a retail worker accepted this shirt from the year 2000 as a return or that another one made this sign and hung it up on the wall above it. For a good reason, management clearly wasn’t too happy with the situation and needed to make their point both loud and clear. The shirt was in pretty good condition for being almost seventeen years old, though.

The world of retail can often be a confusing one, especially when you’ve just started the job. Mistakes do tend to happen, and although hysterical, this was definitely a big one.

Johnny Depp Was in a Wedding Band

Johnny Depp was in person’s in-law’s wedding band back in 1982, and they didn’t realize it until seeing this picture. This was definitely back before Johnny Depp rose to fame, which makes it even cooler. Also, you probably didn’t even know that Johnny played in a band when he was younger until now. If so, no worries, because we didn’t either. One thing we do know is that Johnny hasn’t aged a bit.

Watching a great band play at a wedding is super common, but not many of us will ever find out that Johnny Depp played at our own in-law’s wedding reception.

A Throw That Was Technically on Target

The person who took this picture went to an ax-throwing booth which was at a regional highland game. As usual, the goal was to throw the ax at the target, and they ended up doing this, but in the coolest way ever. The ax that they threw drove straight into another ax that was read on target. Technically, they got the job done even though the end result wasn’t exactly as expected.

Ax throwing booths can be a really fun activity to try when you’re out with friends, but normally, nobody is able to make a shot as awesome as this one.

This Isn’t Even Technically Possible

Somewhere, somehow, another strange situation was found, captured on camera, and then went viral on the internet. This is the exact situation that we’re talking about. There’s no way to know if this picture is actually accurate or if someone simply edited the photo to make the car look like it was on a balcony. If so, these are some really excellent editing skills because we simply can’t tell the difference, and you wouldn’t be able to either.

We’re pretty sure that the only person who could possibly park a car in this manner would be Batman. Other than that, there’s no way to comprehend how or if the car really got up there.

Some Kind of Tow Truck Mystery

A person saw this strange situation happening outside their window, and it forever left them confused. It would be fair to simply question exactly what was going on in this picture, and unfortunately, the story behind it will forever be unknown. This does seem like it would become some kind of hazard if it got on the road, so we’re guessing it remained stationary for an undisclosed reason. There was basically a tow truck inception going on here.

Tow trucks are usually supposed to do exactly what you think- tow a car. This one just happened to be towing a truck that was towing a truck that was finally towing the vehicle. Wild.

Muhammad Ali and a Boxing Demo

This adult went to a special event as a kid, and Muhammad Ali was there doing some sort of a boxing demonstration. Of course, this kid had no idea who he was and saw nothing other than a big guy that was beating people up. He didn’t really want to have much of a part in whatever was going on, but as they were hanging around, he was able to get a picture with the very famous boxer.

His mom told him that he was crying, which is why mom threw him into Muhammad Ali’s arms before taking this picture. They surely framed this because it’s simply a keeper.
