Two Greyhounds Looking At Bubble Jokingly Called Sick Horses Evaluating An Orb

This is a screenshot of a social media reblog thread. The top section displays an original photograph of two dark grey Italian Greyhounds standing on a brick paved path, with a grassy field dotted with small yellow flowers in the background. A clear, floating soap bubble is positioned directly between the two dogs, both of whom are staring intently at the bubble. The first reblog from user 'sexhaver' adds the intentionally absurd caption: 'two sick horses evaluating an orb', misidentifying the dogs as unwell horses and the common soap bubble as a fantasy magical orb. The second reblog from user '6qubed' adds deadpan fictional dialogue for the two animals: first line "'it floats'", second line "'don't like that'". The humor comes from the deliberate, absurd misframing of an ordinary cute pet photo into a surreal fantasy scenario with dry, understated dialogue.

Overview

This is a screenshot of a social media reblog thread. The top section displays an original photograph of two dark grey Italian Greyhounds standing on a brick paved path, with a grassy field dotted with small yellow flowers in the background. A clear, floating soap bubble is positioned directly between the two dogs, both of whom are staring intently at the bubble. The first reblog from user 'sexhaver' adds the intentionally absurd caption: 'two sick horses evaluating an orb', misidentifying the dogs as unwell horses and the common soap bubble as a fantasy magical orb. The second reblog from user '6qubed' adds deadpan fictional dialogue for the two animals: first line "'it floats'", second line "'don't like that'". The humor comes from the deliberate, absurd misframing of an ordinary cute pet photo into a surreal fantasy scenario with dry, understated dialogue.

Origin notes

The original photograph of the two dogs and the soap bubble was first posted to Tumblr by the dog photography blog 'alessandromancodogphotograp-blog'. Tumblr users added the comedic mislabeling and dialogue captions via public reblogs on the platform. This completed screenshot of the full Tumblr reblog thread was later reposted to X (formerly Twitter) by the account @WholesomeMeme, and distributed via their public RSS feed. This absurdist wholesome meme circulated widely across both Tumblr and X from the late 2010s onward.

A screenshot of two tweets from X.com. The first tweet, posted by WeRateDogs (@dog_rates) on 4/6/20, features a photo of a brown bulldog named Nellie walking on grass with a large, transparent bubble surrounding her head, humorously framed as an 'astronaut' on a 'spacewalk.' The caption reads: 'This is Nellie. She's an astronaut. Please don't interrupt her spacewalk. 13/10' (a signature WeRateDogs over-10 rating). Below this, a reply tweet from NASA (@NASA) on the same date references Neil Armstrong's famous moon landing quote, adapting it to: 'That's one small boop for the pup; one giant boop for pupkind.' accompanied by a paw print and rocket emoji. The tweets have engagement metrics: 682 comments, 32K retweets, and 261K likes for WeRateDogs' post, and 148 comments, 4.4K retweets, and 65K likes for NASA's reply.

The image is a screenshot from X.com (formerly Twitter) featuring a wholesome photo of four kittens interacting with straw brooms. At the top, the original post by user 'llovinghome' shows three kittens: two (one black-and-white, one orange) sitting on one broom, appearing to nuzzle, a gray kitten clinging to another broom, and a fourth gray kitten walking on the ground nearby. Below the photo are three user comments: 'vampirbf' asks, 'what if we kissed on the broom (and we're both cats)'; 'madgastronomer' jokes, 'They were broom-mates?'; and 'bethanythemartian' responds, 'Oh my god, they were broom-mates'—a pun on 'roommates' using 'broom' to reference the kittens' location.

This is a 4-panel 2x2 comparison meme. The top left panel displays the text 'Horses IRL' next to a photo of a normal, healthy brown horse standing still on a grassy outdoor field, representing the typical behavior and appearance of horses in real life. The bottom left panel shows the text 'Horses In Chess' paired with a photo of a horse captured mid-jump, with all four of its legs lifted entirely off the ground so it appears to be floating or flying through the air. The humorous core of the meme references the knight chess piece, which is designed to look like a horse head and has a special movement rule that lets it jump over any other chess pieces on the board, unlike real horses that cannot pass through physical obstacles directly.

This is a two-part wholesome meme, starting with two photos of a bronze dog mascot statue in an outdoor public plaza. The first photo shows the full statue, revealing that someone placed a real bright yellow tennis ball perfectly into the statue's open mouth. The second photo is a close-up that shows how well the tennis ball fits, making the statue look like it's holding a ball to play. Below the photos is a screenshot of a Tumblr comment thread: the original poster says "Somebody gave our mascot statue a tennis ball.", and another user replies "good he deserves it".

This is a screenshot of a social media thread featuring two depictions of a baby hippopotamus: a simple, cute cartoon drawing on the left, and a real photograph of a baby hippo partially submerged in water on the right. Original poster rosarrie labels the post "baby hippo". User maplebungus replies with the silly, endearing misspelling/renaming "bippo.......", and the original poster responds agreeing with "ur so right". The humor comes from the soft, cutesy mispronunciation that turns "baby hippo" into the affectionate nickname "bippo", which matches the adorable vibe of the baby hippo images.

A wholesome meme that humorously highlights the subtle, funny changes in a dog's eye shape. The top text reads 'i just think its funny when dog's eyes just go like', setting up the joke. Below the text, there is a white box containing two simple line drawings of a dog's head in profile: the left drawing has a small, round eye, while the right drawing has a slightly larger, more oval eye, illustrating a subtle shift. Underneath the drawings, two real photos of a black dog (likely a dachshund) in profile mirror the line art—left photo with a small, calm eye and right photo with a slightly larger, more expressive eye. The combination of line art and real photos makes the observation relatable and endearing, emphasizing the charm of dogs' subtle facial expressions.

This meme features a photograph of three real rabbits: two bunnies (one light brown, one dark gray) are comfortably resting on top of a third gray bunny that is lying flat on a dirt surface, creating the visual impression that they are using the third bunny as a couch. Below the photo is a social media screenshot overlay with a comment from user 'hystericarosie' that reads: 'here are two bunnies using another bunny as a couch', paired with hashtags #bunny and #bunny as a couch. The post shows it has 765,424 comments (labeled 'Anmerkungen', German for comments, indicating multilingual platform support). The humor comes from the anthropomorphic comparison of the bunny to a piece of furniture, framing the natural animal behavior of piling up as a silly, relatable human-like action, making the content feel wholesome and lighthearted.

This image is a screenshot of a Tumblr thread featuring a two-photo collage of a chubby, grey teddy bear plush. The first photo shows the bear from the front, sitting upright with a soft, neutral expression, highlighting its rounded body. The second photo displays the bear's back, emphasizing its extremely round, almost perfectly spherical shape, which is the core visual gag. The original poster, @bestthriftblog, captioned the post 'positively Rotund' to describe the bear's plump form. User @aghostintheforest tagged the account @bears-official, who responded with the enthusiastic comment 'ORBULAR & friend shaped!!!'. The humor and charm come from the playful, exaggerated vocabulary used to describe the bear's roundness, paired with the wholesome internet slang 'friend shaped'—a term used to describe something that looks warm, comforting, and inviting to be around. The background of the photos suggests the bear was found in a thrift store or retail space, aligning with the poster's 'thrift blog' theme.

This is a two-panel humorous meme. At the top, text reads 'Artist: Yes, of course I've seen a horse'. The left panel displays an old, likely medieval or early modern European painting of a male historical/religious figure in period clothing, riding a white horse that is anatomically incorrect. The right panel is a close-up crop of the horse's face, which has uncanny, almost human-like features: disproportionately large wide eyes, a strangely shaped snout, and overall proportions that do not match a real horse, highlighting how poorly the horse was rendered despite the artist's claim of knowing what a horse looks like. The joke pokes fun at the historical artist's lack of familiarity with horses and bad art technique, as well as people who lie about having experience with things they do not actually understand.

A screenshot of an X.com post by user Jack Butcher (@jackbutcher_08) featuring two side-by-side photographs of a brown dog on green grass. The left photo captures the dog mid-sneeze with its mouth wide open, teeth visible, and tongue protruding, creating a comical expression. The right photo shows the dog immediately after sneezing, appearing slightly dazed with a relaxed posture. Above the images, the post text humorously asserts, 'If these pictures of my dog sneezing isn’t the funniest thing you’ve seen today I don’t know what is,' emphasizing the lighthearted and amusing nature of the dog's sneezing moment.

This meme pairs a real photograph of an arctic fox curled tightly into a fluffy, round ball (resting on rocks, dry leaves, and grass) with a two-part X.com comment thread. The first user jokes, *"what is this cotton ball doing outside"*, comparing the fox's soft, white appearance to a cotton ball. The second user delivers a whimsical punchline: *"this is where the moon goes when it sets"*, leaning into the fox's round, pale, moon-like shape. The meme is lighthearted and wholesome, using silly, creative comparisons to highlight the animal's cute, unusual form.

This image is a screenshot of a social media post featuring a photo of a Fata Morgana mirage, where a large cargo ship on the horizon appears to be floating in the sky above the ocean rather than sitting on the water. The post's opening text asks if the ship is actually floating or if the poster is hallucinating, confused by the unusual visual effect. The top comment under the post sarcastically responds that of course it is floating, as it is a boat, leaning into the obvious fact that boats float on water while deliberately ignoring the illusion that makes the ship appear elevated above the sea surface. The foreground of the photo shows a rocky coastline leading out to a calm blue ocean under a clear sky.
