It seems like photo pranks went out of style while digital photography became more accessible. You would think it'd be the other way around. A film camera used to only have so many shots in it, then you waited for them to be developed. That meant the results of a gag photo were more permanent. Nowadays you can get as many pics as you want, so you can also schedule some silly ones. Maybe that took the fun out of it for some people. It became too legitimized.

by ManufacturerSea 1 week ago

I think that's the key though. You wouldn't necessarily know Bunny ears happened until the film was developed!

100% this. I dont even have photos of me and my friends anymore because it seems at least one of them always has some inane insecurity they refuse to get photographed 🙄 it kills me because we are women in our mid 30s… why the fk does it still matter so much to some people?

by Dizzy_Wear_3589 1 week ago

Also a lot of selfies. It's hard to sneak something in when they can see you doing it.

Also, don't forget about the nature of the advancement of technology in those smartphones. They make people look better than they do in real life. There's magic in images. If you take away the i in image, you get mage. What's a mage? A mage is somebody that casts spells. That is the magic of social media. You see images of real people online in different places with different good-looking people of similar quality. Meanwhile, the Average Joe/common man who has been raised & built to be a straight arrow is seeing all that and getting ideas of "how come I'm not them?". This is how jealously & envy come about. This is also why a notable amount of people who live in their phones suffer from some type of mental health problems. They see all these images at a fast rate and they wonder "when will it be my turn for that type of validation?" I'm projecting anything but I'm giving out a report on the nature regarding these things. Those people will do whatever it takes to get the best angle and they use that to define their lives.

This is why I just bought an INSTAX.. so we can take photos without worrying about the angles etc and we as a family can look back on them

That's why it was funny

Now you can just photoshop in the bunny ears. Or alternately, realize bunny ears aren't actually funny in the time it takes you to photoshop them in.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

With a film camera, you generally took one shot of a picture. The person doing the bunny ears would pose normally, then as you saw the finger move towards the button, you throw up the ears and then they go back down, quick and well times. Now with cameras on phones, people are snapping several photos all in a row, and if you stand around with the bunny ears up you don't look quick and amusing, you look dumb.

by Kind-Inspection8086 1 week ago

That meant the results of a gag photo were more permanent. This is the key though. If I give you bunny ears now you look at it delete it and we just take another. When I did it in the 90s on your disposable camera you might not even know about it for months and even if you did what are you going to do about it?

I mean... Just in my friends circle we still do it sometimes, and I strongly doubt we're the only ones in the whole world. Sure, it's probably less popular than it used to be, but saying "you don't see that anymore" is not exactly true. Do you have a source saying otherwise?

So less popular as if it's out of fashion? 🤔

No

The last time I received bunny ears was from my boss in 2018 at the company Thanksgiving potluck. It just disappeared.

by Langworthmabell 1 week ago

With high res photos, they look less like "bunny ears" and really look like two fingers.... Which defeats the whole purpose.

I never really "got" why that was funny.

by schneiderjerry 1 week ago

It was a funny, harmless prank back before "instant" photos. It used to be that you would have to wait until you got your photos developed at the store, and cameras only had so many "shots" before they were out of film, so it could be 72 hours at the fastest or a week before you got your pictures back to find out you had been pranked.

Yeah so funny wrecking a picture someone took and was exited enough about to spend a couple hours getting developed.

I used to wait tables at the time digital cameras started getting popular. Customers would ask for their pictures. If they were nice, no problem. But if they were a-holes, we used to frame the picture so we cut off their heads. Couldn't do that with digital cameras where the photo could be reviewed immediately. Probably the same for bunny ears in phone cameras.

I don't know about bunny ears, we used to interpret them as « donkey » ears when we were kids. And as you might have guessed, sadly, donkeys were very badly treated in our culture and used to caricature dumb/stupid people.

by No-Imagination 1 week ago

You used to have to be conservative with your shots when taking photos. There were a limited number per roll and developing cost money. The chances of ruining a photo were much higher in the film camera days. Now that everyone has a digital camera and can take unlimited pictures, the prospect of ruining a photo has lost its appeal.

by ImportanceOk2296 1 week ago

photos have zero value and are.neqr infinitely replaceable. Bunny ears are mostly funny when that wasn't the case and you only saw them after development.

Here in Argentina they have a very different meaning, it's called "cuernitos" (little horns) and it's like saying the person you're doing those that is being cheated on (because those people are called "cornudos" - "horned")
