For anyone who was born without a limb or has lost a limb, life can have its challenges. But with challenges, comes growth. These people are all amputees or were born without limbs – they’ve taken their situation and turned it into something positive…and hilarious.
Here are 45 people who have lost their limbs but definitely kept their sense of humor.
Sometimes, you just have to laugh at yourself.
1) “My friend who lost his leg this summer…”
First Sharknado, now this. When will the madness stop? At least it didn’t take this guy very long to get over his missing leg and start laughing about it!
2) Well, 1 out of 2 isn’t bad…
This gorgeous lady won’t have any problems getting a leg up in the world. She’s absolutely outstanding!
3) “Pops got himself a new shirt.”
This proves that Walter White didn’t really die from a gunshot wound at the end of
Breaking Bad. He’s just enjoying his retirement years at a nursing home for former high school teacher meth lab kingpins.
4) “Gonna request a refund.”
Some people are so impatient! Doesn’t he know that it takes a couple of applications before you can the pinky finger will start to sprout?
5) Amputee Adventure Time Costume
Save the wrong hand jokes for someone who cares. It’s not like she had a choice in the matter!
“Every year for Halloween (and occasional comic cons), I like to do something fun that uses my arm as something empowering :D This year I chose adventure time and I got to have a flipping fLOWER BRANCH ARM!”
Well, you have to hand it to McDonald’s for trying. I guess they just couldn’t quite put their finger on a winning slogan!
@SLAANESHonNSFWposts:
“They tried to come up with another slogan but they kept getting stumped.”
7) “Lose right arm and break my left hand friend gives me this shirt”
This is his punishment for breaking his only good hand. He couldn’t get dressed, so his best friend offered to help!
@iMogwai:
“How often do people go in for handshakes only to realize their mistake halfway through?”
8) “My friend Mark was born without legs. He has a good sense of humor about it.”
Ok, so we=e know what his excuse is for not having any legs. But, there’s just no excuse for wearing a fanny pack!
Any true fan of Toy Story will remember this scene. You see the hat? He’s Mrs. Nesbitt!
10) Want to hear my leg story?
He got sick of telling his story over and over again, so now he’s charging money. But when you think about it, his leg story will cost you less than it cost him!
Well, the good news is that when he becomes a dad, he’ll have a built-in pacifier for his baby! The bad news is that his finger is going to be stuck at”loading…50%” pretty much forever.
12) “Even though I know this has been on here before I wanted to share it since it’s my leg(s) and plus I got a new leg today!”
This guy has it all. He’s got himself a brand new leg, and another one in the grave!
13) “A guy from my old unit lost his legs in Afghanistan last year. He found and additional use for his prosthetic leg.”
Who needs a wimpy cup holder when you can have this! Big shout out goes to this guy for his sacrifice while serving.
No one came to the rescue and frostbite took over. But, instead of crying about it, he’s making precious little angels in the snow!
15) “My buddy has a good sense of humor”
Better watch out! It’s all fun an games until the little kid takes off with your foot.
@ScienceAteMyKid:
“We had a family friend who had his leg amputated just under the hip. The first time he came to visit us in California, we all went to the beach together. He goes in to swim, waits for a good long while, and comes hopping out of the water yelling “SHARK! SHARK!!!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that funny in my entire life.”
16) “A nurse my wife works with took this picture on vacation.”
Well, what did she expect? This is what happens when you jump over the T-Rex enclosure at the zoo.
out her name!
Which one is real and which one isn’t? Either way, this shirt makes it really hard to stop staring at both of them.
18) “My amputee brother didn’t appreciate his Christmas present”
I guess this Grinch doesn’t have any patience for snarky brothers who constantly walk all over them. Hopefully one day he’ll will realize that his bro was just pulling his leg.
19) Where did all my muscles go?
This is what happens when you keep skipping leg day at the gym. But, don’t kick yourself for making this very common mistake! Just go for a run to make up for it.
20) Watch out for the shark!
This guy is just re-enacting what happened to him on the surf that fateful day. He got away with his life, and the shark got away with a very full belly.
21) “Amputee girl Army of Darkness costume”
Amputee’s are lucky. They don’t have to think about what they’re going to do for Halloween every year. All they have to do is pick a classic horror movie and bust out the chainsaw!
@angelgiuffria:
“I work at the 13th Gate Haunted House and during “Hell week” we have a costume contest every night. Here was the costume I threw together in less than 48 hours for “cult classic/classic horror film” night”
Yo, big toe. I’ve gone to the market, so you can sleep in and stay home. Be back soon, love Wee Piggy.
23) “Being an Amputee makes for some cool photoshoots”
Nothing says it’s picnic season like a pretty girl in a summer dress cutting into a juicy piece of BBQ meat. Oh wait, that’s her leg. Never mind.
“So my family is pretty morbid, I mean we crack really awful jokes about my missing a leg all the time. My mum and I were at the Spirit store and we found a fake leg, and well.. we came up with this freaky ass photoshoot. Why sit around an wallow when you can disturb the normal folk to no end?”
24) Uber cool dolphin tattoo
This realistic 3D tattoo takes body art to a whole new level. His bare shoulder stump was just a dolphin waiting to be born.
25) “Usually I’d say decorating graduation caps are dumb but…”
The price of sending kids to school these days is out of control!
But, she certainly gets extra credit for being able to walk in those platform heels. I can’t even do that with two good legs!
26) “Amputee, Marine returned from Afghanistan”
I don’t think this fine example of a man (Brad Ivanchan, USMC) will have a problem getting anything he wants in life. Even with that polycarbonate and steel, he’s all kinds of beautiful!
@wesdesto:
“Got both his legs blown and and still more ripped than 80% of people. Like a boss.
27) “He lost an arm. She had a double mastectomy. This is their Christmas card.”
He got a pair of gloves, and she got a bra. I think someone forgot to update their Amazon Christmas wish list!
28) “I decided to stop the questions…”
When you don’t have a cool story to go along with your missing limbs, do like this guy did. Get matching tattoos to make up a story for you!
“A few years ago, I had my little toes amputated. It matters not why, suffice to say the reasons were really boring. Ever since then, when I have been walking around barefoot, I have had to answer the question, ‘So what happened'”
I’m still trying to figure out if this is just a giant thumb, or is he giving everyone the finger? Either way, this tattoo may have crossed the lines of good taste.
Honey, is this leg making my leg look too small? The scale on this is absolutely hilarious!
31) “Just a friend doing Halloween right as an amputee”
Okay, so this pirate outfit is probably the obvious choice. But by default he probably looks good in any Halloween costume he decides to wear. That’s so unfair to the rest of us two-legged freaks.
32) “Sometimes you just have to put your foot down”
This amputee is doing it like a boss! First he put his foot down, and then he put his best foot forward. Best combo ever!
33) Kids, please save me!
The crime scene tape makes this cheeky Halloween scene even funnier. The looks on her daughter’s faces are absolutely priceless!
34) “An amputee vet with a sense of humor”
You can make all the jokes you want about his missing leg. But, don’t even think about making any snide remarks about his golfing game. You might tee him off!
35) “My boyfriend came home with this stupid tattoo”
Being an amputee is no excuse for being dumb. That permanent ink is going to look real silly when his other leg grows back.
No fair! She gets to practice being a zombie before the apocalypse even gets here. At least she knows how to roll with the punches.
37) Dude, where’s my leg?
Out of all the amputees out there wearing this shirt, this one’s the best. And it’s not just because she’s pretty. She’s totally rocking that 70’s
Staying Alive pose!
38) “Amputee prosthetic leg made with Lego bricks”
A leg made from Lego’s couldn’t be any funnier if you made it up. Her new nickname: Lego-less from
Lord of the Rings!
“Watch Christina Stephens—a practicing occupational therapist and clinical researcher who lost her foot after a crush injury—build herself a working prosthetic leg out of Lego. She explained: “Someone in my research lab jokingly suggested I make a prosthetic leg out of legos. The joke’s on you—I went home and did it. Please don’t do this yourself, I don’t want you to fall and get hurt!”
39) “It was my cousin’s first Halloween as an amputee… we decided to have some fun”
Ok, this year you be the bite victim and I’ll be the shark. Next year… well, we’ll just wait and see.
40) “To be a tourist in London”
The Queen’s Guards are famous for maintaining a blank expression no matter how crazy the tourists get with their shenanigans. But, how did this guard not crack when a couple of amputee’s started waving their legs at him?
“I trying to get a reaction…for the record the Guard didn’t blink. (Sure he had a good laugh after his shift though).”
This kid lost his leg to bone cancer when he was just 16. It’s not an easy thing for someone so young to deal with, so he relies on dark humor and loud laughs to keep him from getting down on himself.
@dragonwolf43:
“While my life and situation is less than optimal and at times get hard I do my best to play with the cards I’ve been dealt. So what’s the first thing I did when I recovered enough to go out a bit? Had my roommate take a picture making it look like I got ran over by my own car.”
42) “How an amputee does Halloween…”
You have to “hand” it to this woman, her outfit is wickedly dark and sexy. These amputee Halloween costumes are absolutely brilliant!
43) Brilliant “Christmas Story” lamp costume
There are very few people who can just grab a lamp shade and call it a Halloween costume. Most of us have to go to Spirit Halloween to fake that sort of genius.
Well, mom obviously walked right into that one. Thankfully her kid has a great sense of humor!
45) Do not cut above this line
Note to surgeons: please do not cut above this line. There’s plenty more to be had on the the other leg.
Instead of getting mad at the shark for doing its thing, this guy has come to terms with his shark-nemesis in a very funny way. Making use of the little stub on his shoulder as a shark nose is pure genius!
Whoa, it’s Stewie Griffin from Family Guy! These amputee tattoos are starting to get real!
@Kirsten Preston:
“Great, reminds me of these worm type animals created by pulling a sock on your fist!”
48) Now that’s what I call bar hopping!
Oops, there goes my leg again. I think I’ll just put a beer on my foot and make up a new Irish breakdance.
49) One foot in the grave
Well, this tattoo certainly makes a valid argument. The tat on his missing leg used to have a gravestone that said “here lies foot.”
50) No, not the gumdrop buttons!
Whew… that was close. The gingerbread man’s buttons have been saved.
“I wore this costume to make my friends laugh at a Halloween party back in 2010. People who didn’t know me kept asking where I was hiding my leg.”
