As a dad I still regularly give and receive these

My daughter perfected it.

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.

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 π it kills me because we are women in our mid 30sβ¦ why the fk does it still matter so much to some people?

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
by Sheridan491 week ago
That's why it was funny
by Anonymous1 week ago
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 Anonymous1 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-Inspection80861 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?

Me, who knows how to use photoshop

My 8 and 6 year old nieces would argue that point.

No red pupils anymore, either. What gives?

People that grew up doing that, give the camera the finger now

Silly me, I've always though that they were supposed to be devil's horns.
by Paucekandre1 week ago
Pretty sure that's not true
by Johnssyble1 week ago
Source?
by Anonymous1 week ago
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?
by Johnssyble1 week ago
So less popular as if it's out of fashion? π€
by Ok_Lab1 week ago
No
by Anonymous1 week ago
Don't see you asking for a source for the OP either
by Anonymous1 week ago
I still do that all the time
by Anonymous1 week ago
I do it in almost all family photos, like almost all men in my family. I wish to pass this on to my nieces when they're older
by Dismal_Paper1 week ago
That is incorrect, my autistic brother does it all the time.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I tried but my grandma wanted real photos XD

The last time I received bunny ears was from my boss in 2018 at the company Thanksgiving potluck. It just disappeared.
by Langworthmabell1 week ago
With high res photos, they look less like "bunny ears" and really look like two fingers.... Which defeats the whole purpose.
by connellycesar1 week ago
That's a weird way of saying you've become an adult.
by Necessary_Invite1 week ago
Hard holding the phone up with one hand, and giving bunny ears behind your own head with the other...
by Anonymous1 week ago
That's cause we have filters now
by Anonymous1 week ago
I never really "got" why that was funny.
by schneiderjerry1 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.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Simpler times...
by Anonymous1 week ago
Yeah so funny wrecking a picture someone took and was exited enough about to spend a couple hours getting developed.
by Consistent_Cut77111 week ago
This is why everything sucks now. Nobody can take a joke and everyone takes themselves too seriously.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I'm glad. I never found the prank to be funny at all.
by Anonymous1 week ago
My dad still does them!

Maybe you don't. Got one from my girlfriend's kid less than a year ago.

It's offensive to bunnies. Wake up, man!
by Anonymous1 week ago
Don't see many people planking anymore on random things either.. those were wild times.. feel like it was a fad, it'll come back around
by Anonymous1 week ago
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.

bunny ears gave way to duck faces
by Margiedickinson1 week ago
Speak for yourself I still ruin photos
by Anonymous1 week ago
I don't know about bunny ears, we used to interpret them as Β« donkey Β» 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 ashalind1 week ago
Dude yes you do what
by Scary-Attitude69341 week ago
Because filters do it for you
by Anonymous1 week ago
I do... It's more fun than making a duck face. Seld imposed bunny ears.
by cale741 week ago
I do this alllllllllllll the time
by No-Imagination1 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 Abbottjenifer1 week ago
Awkward. I did this last week in a team photo
by ImportanceOk22961 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.
by Qwilliamson1 week ago
It's almost like it wasn't all that funny

That's because I've gotten more stealthy about it

I do it to my bunny frequently. I also adjust his rabbit ears for better signal, despite streaming everything haha

Tell that to my entire millennial coworkers - we will go on t for a single night and pretty much 80% of the photos it is being committed to.

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")
