The Most Hilarious Photos From The Beard Photo Challenge

There's a new challenge taking the Internet by storm, and thankfully this time it does not involve ingesting anything, snorting anything, or pouring boiling water anywhere.

It's the "Underbeard" challenge, and for once, we can all get excited about a trending internet challenge. It's a simple concept: bearded men take a photo looking straight up so all we see is neck and beard... sometimes ears. This straightforward idea has proven to be utterly hilarious for reasons we cannot entirely explain.

Beards may be one of the sexiest things a man can do to his face, but from a different angle... anything sexy can be, well, not sexy.

You have a good point, sir.

You look like a thumb with a really weird, hairy nail from this angle.Facebook

"This is me, this is who I am supposed to be."

With disguises this good, you could sleep in class—if you could sleep while looking straight up.Reddit

You're a wizard, Harry.

This is some glorious hair.Imgur

Now, some people say this trend reminds them an awful lot of pubic hair.

Well, you tried. We still laughed, though, so it works.Reddit

Hello darkness, my old friend.

This went from hilarious to horrifying very quickly—far too quickly.Imgur

If you look quickly, it almost looks like a small head on a normal body, but from behind.

I hate that.Reddit

Simple, sweet, beardy.

It's square!Imgur

Ah yes, another hairy thumb with ears.

It's crazy how nature does that.Reddit

Ask yourself one question:

Does less beard mean more lulz?Imgur

Chew got somethin' to say?

If Lego men had beards, is this what they would look like? Asking for a friend.Reddit

This one is my favorite.

It's like two beards!Reddit

Look, I thought we had something nice going on here.

Then this guy with his chaotic underbeard showed up.Reddit

The great debate:

What is weirder? The underbeard or the under ears? It's impossible to decide.Reddit

From the front, a normal man.

From the under, it looks like a tiny man from behind. We do not recommend.Imgur

This is what happens when you fight the Matrix.

It's not as fun as Keanu Reeves makes it look.Imgur

Even from the underside, we can appreciate a well-groomed beard.
