snapchat

Cats and their brimming curiosity, and wild unpredictability, and surprisingly gracefulness in moments of great duress, are what can truly light up social media with fun, wholesome laughs. They'll often look at us and our phone's camera like they know a whole lot more about what's going on than we do. 

This Snapchat story takes an unexpected turn when the guy who thinks he's finally caught his best friend in the middle of a careless fail, ends up being the one who gets pranked! Gotta love it. Think this might be the last time he pulls it off though. Gotta be careful when sending snaps! 

Getting stuck in an elevator is a worst nightmare come true. In the case of this doctor, he chose to poke fun at his predicament with a series of Snapchat updates. We get to watch a man trained in science grapple with a crazy idea called faith, that he will manage to get out of his little hellish prison. 

It's hard out there for a hopeless romantic. Especially on Snapchat...

She really dodged a crazy beast on this one. The clown makeup is also not helping your cause Damian. 

These people are killing the Snapchat game. 

17-year-old Juliette Avitia from Texas unintentionally overstepped when she "rescued" a cat she mistook as stray, from a party outside her house. Fortunately everything works out, but can you imagine that moment of sobering realization when she realized she'd messed up BIG time. Yikes. 

You don't want to mess with these extreme badasses. Oh man, if you get in their way, they'll explain online what they would hypothetically do to you. Get ready for some unnecessary threats.

Sometimes people render us speechless with their unbelievable cluelessness. 

Attempts are drawn toward failure like a magnet. In these cases, you can't say these people and animals didn't try. Could they have tried harder? Maybe.

That joke was too clever for her own good. Fair to say the little jest soared right on over his head. 

These kids have no concept of reality or common sense when it comes to lifestyle. 

This is kind of mean as hell, and totally hilarious at the same time. Clearly, the devious boyfriend had this one planned out, and he definitely pulled it off to perfection. Can't imagine she's too happy about all of it though!

Let us all take a moment of silence for Handrew. Gone but not forgotten. 

Some of these are perfectly timed, while others are unfortunate, cringe-inducing displays of society simply struggling to get by. Either way there's something to be said for the ongoing value of Snapchat being able to capture those moments many people would just as soon hope to forget about.
