There is a part of human disposition whereby we see shapes or familiar patterns in otherwise obscure or everyday objects. As a child, you probably saw animals in the clouds or monsters in the shadows.
As an adult, we less often seek out these shapes in unusual places, but we’re still prone seeing faces in unusual places - a glance at an everyday object and you might see a face smiling back at you. Sometimes these comical faces stick with us and tickle us to the core.
You’d be surprised just how many gadgets and gizmos feature these faces. Sometimes it seems like manufacturers are doing it on purpose to bring their products to life and give them character but it’s usually just coincidence.
We’ve picked out a selection of the very best faces spotted in tech and elsewhere for you to enjoy.
Roberto the security bot
This one reminds us ofFuturama’s Roberto- the slightly stabby, certainly crazy criminal robot from the future. Here it seems that he’s been decapitated and attached to a wall to act as a security camera instead.
Rock faces
There’s a Museum in Japan where there’s a display of rocks. Rocks with a difference.
These are all rocks which have been naturally eroded over time and now have faces on them. Some of them look really happy about it too.
Suspicious vampire
Remember Stephen King’s “Christine”? What if the car was a vampire instead? A suspicious, angry-looking vampire automobile. We’d certainly have a good chortle riding behind this car.
One happy bin
Despite living what we can assume is a pretty rough life, full of rubbish and bad smells, this bin remains one cheerful chappy. Beaming from ear to ear as he sits casually at the edge of this car park.
The surprised house
A house that’s surprised and happy to see you. This must be a great home to come back to, like a happy puppy that’s just glad to have you back.
Disinterested letterbox
If you had letters, bills and junk mail stuffed into your face everyday then you’d probably feel like this too. Poor old letterbox, all worn out and downtrodden.
Tanks for the fun
This armoured fighting vehicle looks like it’s having the best of times. The little men sticking out of the top look like googley eyes and really help finish off the hilarity.
Unhappy bath taps
We tend to find baths relaxing and satisfying, but even sitting in a refreshing bath, the face on this tap might be enough to ruin the experience. We can’t decide if it’s unimpressed or disinterested or both.
Mr. T the tape measure
We pity the fool that doesn’t enjoy this tape measure. Far less bling than the original Mr. T but at least you may take this one on an aeroplane.
This house isn’t in the mood
This house meanwhile, just isn’t in the mood to celebrate. Even decorated for 4th of July celebrations, it looks unamused at best.
