“This is my mom, dad and brother in Sydney. Posing on a bridge, my brother set the camera on timer, and ran back to join my parents. However, he had too much momentum and fell back into the pond.”

I am still laughing! I can just see him running, sitting, back diving!!!
Awesooooooooooooooome! Hahahhahahaha!!!
hahahaha! Really great photo.
Pretty much the best photo of all time!
I totally agree. This is my favorite on this site! Just look at the woman’s face. She thinks it’s pretty funny too.
Is the dad’s name Larry?
lol, poor thing… did he get hurt?
I hope not!
Cheers
hahahahahahaha !!!!! this is a lesson to all u kids out there, take physics seriously, or you’ll just get hurt !!!
I wonder if the designers of the art wall in the background KNEW someone would fall in and that’s why the carved a giant splash into the middle of their mural
Oh that is too funny. Ha ha ha! It’s made even more funny to me as I know exactly this spot in front of the Chinese Gardens at Darling Harbour and have myself done almost the exact same thing. It’s a low bridge! I wonder what the goldfish thought?? LOL!!!
I almost fell too! It is a very short bridge. I bet it was very smelly in the Koi pond.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
BEST AFP IN A WHILE
It looks like the 2 Dragons are laughing, and are in mid stride to give a “High-5″ to each other in celebration, of the human splash.
Haha…and he fell BACK into the pond???!!!Claire, you mean he already fell into the pond?
No, she means he fell backwards into the pond … clearly he spun around and tried to sit facing the camera, trusting the laws of Cartoon Physics would cancel his momentum.
Perfectly timed shot. I love time delays!!!
Here I am on AFP instead of writing my paper–and now everyone in the library is wondering why I’m sitting here laughing so hard that I have tears running down my face. This picture is possibly the funniest thing I have seen in years. XD
This is totally awesome! What a great photo!
What makes it funnier is that pond is quite shallow
I find it very funny that the mom appears to be laughing too!
I can’t stop laughing! This is probably the BEST picture EVER!
This is in the beautiful Chinese Gardens, in the city, in Darling Harbour. Didn’t anyone tell them to beware the carp in the pond? The carp are very tricky … they have shepherd’s crooks, and they hook tourists around the neck, very gently, so gently that the person can’t even feel it … and hoik them backwards into the water!
Did your familiy take any photos of the kangaroos hopping down George Street?
Greetings from Sydney …
i like how the pic was able to capture the mom breaking out into laughter.
ALL I CAN SAY IS PRICELESS!!!
oh man, this is pretty classic
I think the funniest part to me is that the submitter (Claire) was not invited on this family vacation!
Uh, yeah, I totally agree, while I was in college, my family was galavanting around Australia! I have to admit though, even after years of seeing this photo, I can’t stop laughing. Classic.
p.s. it’s not the first (or second) time he’s fallen into a pond.
So, does he fall into ponds on a fairly regular basis?
I can remember at least 2 other times!
Perhaps a wetsuit would be a good Christmas or birthday gift to give him? lol.
Wow! This is almost too amazing for words—almost.
hahahaha
I cannot stop laughing. My tummy is hurting, i cannot stop crying and my nose is running
