the unofficial funny pictures / videos / gifs thread!

I will never understand why some people have decided craning their neck to watch TV should be the norm. It seems obvious that it should be roughly eye level when you're sitting on the couch/chair/ etc that would be facing the TV.
I think that trend started back when people were mounting flat TVs above fireplaces, rather than putting a painting or whatever up there. And it seemed to have stuck with people.

I remember when people visited our house when we built it 16 years ago, and the high mount was all the rage. We mounted our 50" plasma at eye level location (still there btw), just above the low entertainment centre, and people often said "Oh! You mounted your TV so low!!" And then they would watch something with us and go "This is way more comfortable and easy to see..."

People are funny :)

Oh I definitely get why when it's over a fireplace (though that's a lousy place to put your TV), but when it's not. Yikes.

I have one of the Samsung 'Frame' TVs in my living room that's high, but that's because I use it mostly as digital art and the only time it's on TV mode is if I'm cooking in the kitchen and want something in the background, in which case it's eye level standing up anyway....
 
I love this take one for the team moments I probably would have done the same also I probably although run quicker would be going over those hurdles the same way or maybe even ended up on my face a few times but I still would have done it and laughed at myself that whole distance lol
