40 Priceless Photos That Perfectly Sum Up 2020

Wow, 2020 was a ride. And we don’t mean a pleasant cruise. We’re talking about a white-knuckle roller coaster that made you regret getting on in the first place. Oh well: it’s over now. You can lean back and enjoy these 40 photos that capture a year of craziness in the best way.

40. The saddest cookie

When is a year like a cookie? When it promises so much and fails to deliver! Instead of a chocolate chip-filled wonder, you get this: a barren oatmeal wasteland devoid of sugary goodness. The original poster on Twitter described it as “the saddest chocolate chip cookie ever.” But that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

39. Spanish flu

This meme comes to you courtesy of The Powerpuff Girls, and it’s oddly suited to the style. Take a dash of the Spanish flu, add a little of the civil rights movement and leave to simmer in the Great Depression. Then you’ll have created your own 2020!

38. The broken umbrella

No matter what goes wrong, you can always depend on your trusty umbrella to shelter you from the rain. And then you realize what year it is. This photo’s original poster had a similar experience. They wrote on Reddit, “‘It might rain today, I think I’ll take my umbrella out...’ that went well!”

37. The deflowered cake

Imagine being this Reddit user and getting a beautiful chocolate cake topped with those fancy icing flowers. You look forward to it the whole day and when you finally open the box, this is staring back at you. If that’s not 2020 in a nutshell, we don’t know what is. Looks like you really can’t have your cake and eat it, too!
