If You’re Looking For WTF Stock Photos, You’ve Come To The “Right” Place (108 Pics)

Stock photos are weird enough. You search “computer man” and photos appear with people smiling and staring in front of a Dell laptop from 2002. If that wasn’t disturbing enough, some strange and funny stock photos have you asking “WTF is this for? Why??” Every stock photo tells a story. Sometimes, it’s a story of unrequited love. Other times, it’s a story about a man in a horse costume holding a gun and freshly-baked pie. They’re everywhere and they make no sense. The Reddit users on r/WTFstockphotos can’t even explain them all.

I’ve decided to take a guess what purpose these photos serve. By the end, we’ll all feel as though we’ve had a fever dream.

You asked for WTF stock photos, and weird stock photos is what you’re going to get:

1. A great image for an ad campaign about a person who absolutely can’t decide who they are.

2. “These kids with their MP3s and their Nintendos don’t even know what a CD player is!”

3. This is how Russian hackers get into your computer.

4. Great image for a guide on safely fixing your own appliances.

5. You can’t say Spaghetti without “Getty” images.

6. POV: Me when I told my mom I wanted to study Greek in college.

7. Do you need a weird photo of a guy kidnapping an old man for your low-budget movie? Is it dark comedy about a son-in-law who’s also a hit man? We got you.

8. Pucker up and give us a duckface, daddy.

9. I can’t tell if this is a cheap Halloween costume or a still from an even cheaper video game.

10. When you find out you accidentally bought a veggie corndog.

11. DIY tech support.

12. WTF, why is the baby the same age as the dad? Is this for a clinic where you can clone yourself?

13. “Go get me some Häagen-Dazs or f*** around and see what happens.”

14. Roberto Benigni’s next film looks strange as hell.

15. I’d assume this is for a “furry meetup group” but furries usually have nicer costumes.
