Life can be pretty funny. Sometimes, this comedy is seen and experienced inadvertently, such as when you see someone slip on a banana peel or fall on their butt while walking on the ice.

Hopefully the people you saw these things happen to––and maybe it was YOU!––are okay. But let's face it, people who saw it might have laughed, right?

It's the sudden absurdity that cracks people up, as we were reminded by Redditor I_am_tangible asked the online community,

"What's the most cartoony thing you've seen happen in real life?"

"Someone..."

"Someone running in place because it was slippery."

neverpaidforskype

This is definitely something from a Looney Tunes cartoon. How many times have we seen this?!

"I've seen my friend..."

"I've seen my friend slipping on a banana peel."

Petalfawn

Did your friend somehow attract the attention of a beautiful dame who wanted to see if he was okay?

"I once saw a dog..."

"I once saw a dog find a chain of linked sausages unattended and then he ran away with one in his mouth, the others flapping and bouncing behind him."

This is funny and also really cute! That dog definitely had a better day than you.

"My cat drifting..."

​"My cat drifting on the slippery floor when taking corners while running. She loved doing that."

BehindThyCamel

Of course she did!

If there's any animal out there that knows how to make their own entertainment, it's a cat!

"A couple of guys..."

"A couple of guys were at my place putting in new pipes. One fell through the ceiling, but only halfway, so only his lower half was sticking out of the ceiling, legs kicking."

The Most Unexplained Events In History | George Takei’s Oh Myyy

History is littered with unsolved mysteries. Whether those answers are buried somewhere or lost forever, it doesn't stop people from wondering or hypothesizi...

That final part, with the legs kicking, is hilarious.

"A naked man..."

"A naked man with a cardboard box around him running down the street."

ilasseizfaire

Are we certain this isn't a scene out of a Judd Apatow comedy? Are we absolutely certain?

"A car spinning..."

​"A car spinning 360 degrees, hitting a pole, and having smoke come out."

"The reason why it was cartoonish is that it happened in the snow so it was basically in slow motion and the least dangerous thing ever while being funny."

PussayDestroyah420

I chuckled, but let's be serious for a moment: This absolutely is dangerous. Hopefully the driver was okay!

"My neighbor came over..."

"My neighbor came over, drank a box of wine by himself and it took him 20 minutes for him to walk home right next door."

"It was windy as hell, like 25-30+ with gusts upwards of 40 mph. It was the most cartoony thing I have ever seen. He was tryna fight the wind all the way home. I am pretty certain I saw him crawling at one point."

Stinkyfish97

This one is my personal favorite.

Nevertheless, your neighbor persisted.

Hopefully his dignity was intact.

"Someone stepping..."

"Someone stepping on a rake and hurting their face. That someone was me."

Natturi

I never would have guessed! Hopefully you didn't hurt yourself too badly.

"I slipped on the ice..."

​"I slipped on the ice a few years ago. I know it had to look like a cartoon. My feet flew up in the air and when I landed my head, neck and shoulders hit the ground before the rest of my body."

I'm pretty sure it must have been funny as f*** to see because it hurt like hell."

Yankii_Souru

Life isn't always so serious, people. Sometimes it's utterly whimsical... like the cartoons we know and enjoy.

Where do you think the writers of these cartoons got their inspiration?

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

People Who Quit Their Jobs On Day One Reveal What Made Them Say 'Nope, Not Doing This'

Every now and then, simply because we need money, we might take a job that doesn't fulfill us in any way, but at least keeps our bank accounts happy.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
