The previous year, we certainly had a few ups and downs. But the best way to remember the year would be to think about all the joyous moments. So let’s talk about the top 29 pictures that really showcased the year that we had.
The Top 29 Pictures of 2022

u/MGPS paid their tribute to a fallen soldier- “After 21 years of daily use, my iPod finally bit the dust today.”
9. The Laptop SNEAK
u/Ihatemylife8 should probably hate their life a little less now- “My company is sending work-from-home employees new laptops. I somehow ended up with all of them.”
10. The Shining?
u/StuTOTHEart cut a frightening adaptation for The Shining. “We get told that we look alike all the time, so this costume seemed inevitable.”
11. Bob Ross Would Be Proud
A beautiful painting in the Bakhtiari province of Iran- showcasing what was lost to the ages. Nevertheless, Bob Ross would be proud of the simple colors.
12. The Latest Teacher At Kung Fu Panda
Looks like they are about to part some bada** wisdom to Po and his friends. After all, look at that swagger!
13. 22nd Century Amphibian
The Crowned tree frog from Costa Rica does look a lot like a metallic soldier. A glimpse of an uprising in the future, maybe?
14. A Bee-Huddle
The bees really don’t like any outsiders trying to get their secrets out. Sometimes, they don’t allow their own kin in the huddle.
15. A Crack In The Cat
Does the cat teach us about the two sides of life- good and evil? Or is the crack a sign of its telekinetic power? We may never know.
16. Aesthetic Monks
Maybe the UFOs will in fact turn out to be the salvation of these Buddhist monks. Nevertheless, they do look pretty amazing in formation.
17. A Dove In Scandinavia
We wouldn’t want to be a dove in such chilly weather and fly around. No sir- better to sleep in!
18. The Tranquility Base
Quite aptly named- for nothing can be more tranquil than looking up and seeing billions of stars sitting pretty in the sky.
19. Curious George
Well, just a few differences- George was a docile monkey, this is a ginormous polar bear. Also, George was curious, whereas this bear is hungry. But the rest remains the same.
20. The Ali-G of Penguins
“Speak to the fin, ‘cos the face- it ain’t listening!” This penguin seriously doesn’t care about protocol.
21. Queen Elizabeth II and The Paddington Bear
The Paddington Bear went through a lot of adventures- but it must have never considered an adventure like this.
22. The Cool Guy
Bernie Sanders has been in several iconic pictures and memes over the years. But this time around, he seems to have accepted the Instagram age, for he looks quite casual in this picture.
23. It Came Home, Finally!
After years of losses faced by the Men’s Football Team of England, the Women’s Team managed to secure the UEFA Women’s Euro cup. Kudos to them!
24. The Man From Pakistan
Some individuals place their entire lives on their God. And Amjad Ali Laghari is certainly one of them.
25. Love Sees No War
While Ukraine and Russia might be fighting each other, what’s stopping this young couple from joining their love in holy matrimony? Nothing- as it should be.
26. Baby? Adult Baby? Or Just An Illusion
There were thousands of babies at the Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tiresias. But they weren’t really babies. Actually- it is still quite confusing.
27. Alessandro Michele and Jared Leto
Who’s who, we don’t know. Both look the same- and they know that. One’s mysterious, and the other’s funny- we will tell you that.
28. Memorial At Texas School
The Uvalde shooting definitely scarred the whole nation. But we can only hope that the memorial gave the deceased some semblance of peace.
29. Young Pitch Invader
Looks like fan fervor doesn’t have a minimum age. Well- it is certainly quite disturbing. But what do we know- the crowd loves it!
