You know those photos that children get with Santa? They’re usually taken at a shopping centre where the child sits on Santa’s lap as their parents frantically wave toys behind the photographer’s head? Well, my friend Slicer is responsible for the best one of these ever. THE. BEST.
His photo shows him as a very young boy, sitting on Santa’s knee alongside a suspicious dark patch. This is because, immediately prior to the camera going off, he peed on Santa’s lap.
HE PEED ON SANTA.
Imagine the awkward conversation afterwards. “I’m sorry, Santa. Now, about that bike I wanted…”
Anyway, I was inspired by my friend’s stellar effort so I went in search of other unfortunate Santa photos. There were many, but I have listed my favourites below. Enjoy!
14. The look in Santa’s eyes makes me suspect it’s his first day on the job.
13. “Look. Ball. BALLLLL!”
12. “Go on, she said. Be Santa this year, she said. It’ll be fun, she said.”
11. You don’t often see action shots in these sort of photos.
10. One word. Forlorn.
9. “Is… is he still there?”
8. “What do you mean I shouldn’t look behind me? ARGH!!”
7. “OW! BEARD! BEARD!”
6. “I see an exit! I SEE AN EXIT!”
5. I can just see the frazzled mum off camera going, “For god’s sake, both of you STOP CRYING! I’M PAYING FOR THIS!”
4. “I’m suspicious of this bearded fellow.”
3. I don’t know why the girl is crying. Her brother is the one wearing girl’s shoes.
2. There’s nothing like pretending to be asleep as a strategy.
And my favourite:
1. This seems to be going splendidly well!
(Photo sources include: Chicago Tribune, SF Gate, and South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
SO FUNNY!!!!! I love the look on #14′s face. He looks terrified! :)
Doesn’t he! I bet he had a few drinks af the end of that shift.
