Not intentionally intending to bitch buut...it strikes me as strange as when posting a strange picture on this site, should you wish it to go down well it should fit into anyone/most of several categories which include status quo, star wars, shopped up-made up animals etc.
which was really highlighted to me when i posted this:
b3ta.com/board/4753566
a few hours ago and got one reasonably harsh comment about it being of noone anyone knows. I dont see how the image could have been better should it have been of terry wogan... hmmm.
like I said, I'm not intentionally bitching at anyone, just sharing an observation.

I concur.I think the gratuitous use of the word "uni", which first appeared in the popular Australian sit-com "neighbours", and found widespread use throughout the mid '90s among the chav community, is grounds for dismissal alone!

that's not necessarily trueif an image is funny it will go down well.
That image is probably funnier to you than the rest of us, as it is a friend of yours. The rest of us have never met him, and probably never will, so any joke is a bit lost on us.
And had it been terry wogan it would've got a similar response i guess, as its not a hilariously funny picture - I don't mean to be harsh, but see it from an outsiders point of view.
edit - also from the pont of view of someone who can never think of a funny pic so just chats on b3ta instead.

It's to do with intention and follow-throughthe intention of the image is clearly a joke, but as we know neither the set-up nor the understand the punchline then it doesn't work. Your words suggested that it was something directly about a friend, so the joke wasn't going to be simply based on surrealism.
If the intention of the piece was clearly surrealist then it might have worked, for example you could have written above it 'aargh! Bees! Bees in my mouth!', which would have worked.
Intention: joke about bees in mouth
Follow-through: nice animation of insects around the mouth.
It's a good rule to stick with. If people don't 'get' your pic then ask yourself if you have failed in either of the categories.

^ yes ^subject line is important.
everyone would have been turned off to read "here's a picture of my mate which he'll hate!!"
it's not a bad pic at all, but private jokes never go down well. If everyone posted pics to wind up their mates, the board would die.
