Hilarious People Who Deserve To Wear The Genius Hat
Sometimes life has simple fixes to the problems we encounter. While the rest of us are stuck Googling how to grow another arm so we can finally watch TV, eat Cheetos, and paint our nails at the same time, these geniuses are out here figuring it all out for us.
Here are some hilarious geniuses who are really living in the future and innovating to make the world a better place. Their solutions are lazy, hard to look at, and almost always involve duct tape, but they're winning in ways we're not. We're in awe of their brainpower.
The Chair-brella
![rain cover chair on head in the rain](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T091832.811-60399.jpg)
This man clearly didn't check the forecast before leaving the house, but a little water never stopped an innovator from innovating.
He's completely soaked and clearly this isn't working, but his thought process deserves an award. Or a throne.
Friend Not There? Grab The IPad And A Bunch Of Clothes
![dude on the bed ipad dressed up in person clothes](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T092046.208-22297.jpg)
These are some loving and loyal friends to give him a set up like this that's equally as terrifying as it is cute.
He better watch out that this laundry clone doesn't start replacing him in everything.
This Kid With The Unbreakable Spirit
![kid chilling kid on the ipad and eating snacks](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T092252.003-86245.jpg)
How can someone be a hero but also be so small and young?
This little icon is really inspiring me to be the best I can be, so I'm heading right to the couch with my Cheetos to follow in his footsteps.
This Kid Is Living My Dream Of Hands-Free Watching
![kid genius lod usng glass laptop stand ad screen](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T092513.815-96464.jpg)
I bet Ikea never knew that their 'coffee table' would be used in such an innovative way.
Thanks to this kid I now know what product I need to buy to finally be able to use literally zero energy while watching shows on my phone.
Nerf Guns Are The New Walking And Turning Off The Light
![nerf gun Ichigo and nerf gun thins](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T093245.076-26165.jpg)
This hack has the added bonus of improving your hand-eye coordination and your depth perception.
These are two highly valuable skills but can also be worked on by you actually getting out of bed and flicking the switch. Just saying.
This Parisian Romance That Never Happened
![two people in front eiffel tower picture two people kissing in front](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T093446.531-45563.jpg)
This girl has seen Eat, Pray, Love enough times to know that a Parisian romance is a must-have on your vacation.
So when you don't have a romantic partner to spend it with, just find someone willing to be one for a three-second photo.
The Kid With The Lip Balm Cheese Stick
![cheesy daughter with the cheese](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T104558.998-42316.jpg)
If this kid isn't a CEO in the making then I'm not sure who would be. Finally, now we all know what to do with the empty lip balm cases after we've used it all up.
I'm wondering if this works with pepperette meat as well...
They Were Gonna Google It Anyway...
![ipad tourist info ipad with sign](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T101749.077-42858.jpg)
This customer service genius just cut out the middle man.
Seriously, when you ask someone for the best moderately priced family restaurants in the city just know that your request is getting directed to our favorite concierge Google.
What To Do When You Want To Spend Quality Time With Your Beverage And Your Child
![swing guy pulling a swing with a rope](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T093915.242-77108.jpg)
Not sure if this is a parenting hack, a lazy hack, or a hack for anyone who wants their child to imprint their parental love on a piece of string.
It might be all three and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
The Kid Whose Costume Was A Clothing Essential
![pants two yearold child wants to be pants](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T094108.363-49550.jpg)
Why not be something for Halloween that you know, love, and rely on every single day? This is some classic two-year-old logic and I applaud this kid's unwillingness to follow the Halloween trends.
Might as well do it now before they grow up and hate every pair of pants they own.
This Golf Lover Who's Not Familiar With "Walking" The Dog
![mom and dog mom and dog walking down the road](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T094421.043-89833.jpg)
To be fair, this person could've had an injury, could've been unable to walk, or maybe just hated their dog and didn't want to touch it.
Whatever prompted this golf cart solution is definitely worth spilling the "tee" over.
The Chocolate Won't Melt But You're Definitely Getting Judged
![kit kat ac kit kat in the ac](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T111402.612-59028.jpg)
This is a brilliant hack and also one that would work wherever you put the chocolate in the car if the AC is on.
So have a break from being extra, and have a KitKat that wasn't jammed in your vents.
These Landscaping Crew Bros
![atv two guys riding on an atv](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T094714.216-98556.jpg)
These two are the definitions of work besties who do everything together. If it's a one-person job they'll find a way to make it a job for a duo.
Sure, everything gets done much slower, but they'll dazzle their clients with the power of friendship.
Why Buy A TV When You Can Just Buy An IPad And A Long Stick
![ipad user person laying down working on ipad](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T095028.519-23497.jpg)
This person decided they'd save some money and not buy a $100 used TV, but instead invest in a long stick and some rope to rig their $300 iPad.
What a perfect and cost-effective solution.
Not Even The Bathroom Is Safe From Two-Way Mirrors
![test the mirror two way mirror test](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T095654.830-87289.jpg)
This is a hack that I guarantee you're going to be doing to every mirror from now on.
Who even cares if it's real, you always knew something was up with your downstairs bathroom mirror anyway.
This Unemployed Genius Can Add "Billboard Model" To His Resume
![billboard spent last dollars on billboard](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Add-a-little-bit-of-body-text-2019-11-04T100001.069-15421.jpg)
Update: this billboard actually worked. So if you start seeing "hire me" signs on the interstate billboards, chances are you're looking at the sites of some newly acquired personnel.
Or you're witnessing the fall of every job site.
The Toilet Seat Warmer That Really Socked It To Winter
![toilet socks sock cozies on a toilet](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T100218.580-81113.jpg)
This is one way to warm your behind. I'm not knocking it, in fact, these tube socks fit perfectly.
I just hope this person washed these or threw them out before putting them in the "clean" laundry pile.
The Best Movie Snack Ever
![watermelon girls snuck watermelons into the movies by pretending to be pregnant](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/watermelon-58199.jpg?width=800&height=533)
There have been some pretty crazy ways to sneak snacks into a movie theater, but this has to be one of the best.
It's also a great movie snack, too!
That's Going To Get Smelly
![cheese someone switched cheese for soap](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/cheese-36315.jpg?width=800&height=801)
This person is tired of their mom buying weird organic soaps.
So they switched it out with some cheese so that maybe it will get gross enough and her mom will stop.
It's Going To Happen If You're Tall
![tall a very tall woman standing next to a tiny woman](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/tall-77199.jpg?width=800&height=801)
If you're out and you need something on the top shelf and you see someone who is super tall then you know that they're used to being asked to get things.
It's kind of like a superpower.
They Say If You Weld Two Priuses Together You Create A Priiiius
![six door prius 2 priius welded togther](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T100412.390-34480.jpg)
This handy craftsman apparently wrecked two of the exact same Prius so he fused them together to create a six-door monster Prius. Is he the new Dr. Frankenstein? Maybe.
But is his car fuel-efficient, reliable, and have plenty of hatchback storage and legroom? You bet.
The Student Who Used Reverse Psychology And I'm Impressed
![kid using reverse psychology reverse psychology student](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T101132.022-20890.jpg)
This is such a risky maneuver and I don't recommend trying this, but wow did it ever pay off.
Also, what kind of professor is this cruel to give out 89.41%? Actually, probably all of them, who are we kidding.
The Mom On-The-Go And On The Segway
![pram pusher mom on a segway pushing pram](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T103825.479-58312.jpg)
They see her rollin', they're hatin', they're catching her ridin' dirty on the Segway pushing the stroller.
If you're brave enough to show off your sick new wheels this way in public then I really can't judge.
The Garlic Bread FaceTimer Who Should Be On Master Chef
![bread facetimin oven bread](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T101305.166-73315.jpg)
This method should be on every single cooking show from now on.
Contestants can now fully devote themselves to being screamed at over mushroom risotto by Gordon Ramsay and just keep an ear out for a little beep over FaceTime.
They Didn't Have A Microwave So They Gave Their Food A Blowout
![food warming hairdryer on reddit warming food](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T101450.456-73600.jpg)
This is a college student hack, a broke student hack, and a hairdresser who just moved apartments and doesn't have any kitchen appliances yet but has their trusted hairdryer with them.
The food was definitely warm and had a fresh new 'do after this.
Animators Who Needed To Try But Had Zero Pumpkin-Carving Energy
![pumpkin design studio cute lil pumpkin](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T103636.129-37317.jpg)
These animators are the kinds of work geniuses that we like to see. They were tired of the 9-5 grind and were so creatively drained that when the office Halloween pumpkin carving contest rolled around their brains just short-circuited and this happened.
And it's perfect. Fullstop.
This Person Lights Up My Life
![light light in the ceiling still in packageing](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T105051.752-60797.jpg)
It took one person and one package to screw in a lightbulb.
Sure, this looks incredibly strange and will give your guests the impression you have people in your freezer, but hey, your innovation makes the world brighter.
The Raccoon Beat The Scavenging System Thanks To This Girl
![raccon hack girlfriend with raccon feeding](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T105327.306-50800.jpg)
This sweet girl has been fully taken advantage of by this raccoon. Honestly, this boyfriend should be worried that he's going to be replaced by the furry critter.
He's going to walk in one day and the two will be eating spaghetti and splitting a bottle of red by candlelight.
The Photogenic Dad Who Saw An Opportunity And Took It
![dad picture taken dad getting picture taken as the human T in the word](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T105758.336-37193.jpg)
Absolutely perfect. This dad has heard of the rampant trend of influencers populating social media, so he thought he'd give it a go himself.
He did it with a dad joke no less, and we're all amazed at this pinnacle of a father.
The Candy Hiding Hack That's Pretty Brilliant
![veg halloween candy in a veggie bag](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T110353.037-71242.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=700&height=600&top=0&left=0&zoom=1)
This would be a great hack if this wasn't a bag of frozen vegetables sitting in a cupboard.
Sure, nobody's going to expect that you're hiding candy in there, but they're going to corner you and ask you if you can read labels, and that might be worse.
Why Buy A Good Speaker When You Can Buy A Pot?
![speaker speaker in a pot](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T110732.473-14524.jpg)
This is another hack for someone who had the money, but just never bought a TV.
Why do that when you can get a $10 pot, a $900 laptop, and an $80 speaker, and easily create this wacky setup that totally won't make your guests uncomfortable?
Freezing Milk Is A Great Hack If You're Lazy At Teatime And Want To Alienate Loved Ones
![frozen milk frozen milk in ice cube trays](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Untitled-design-2019-11-04T111725.890-36767.jpg)
I don't even know how this person discovered this, but they need to stop. This looks like a pad of cursed mattress foam and makes me so incredibly uncomfortable.
I just want to know why this is better than just pouring milk into your tea or coffee because I'm drawing blanks over here.
'Cause A Plunger Is Cleaner Than Public Transportation
![plunger as handle on public transport using plunger as ceiling handle on public transport](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/RI4A0MR-77178.jpg?width=800&height=961)
They say that the handles on public transportation are something you should avoid touching at all costs, and this girl took that advice to heart.
It must be hard to detach that handle in a hurry, though!
Separate The Seeds Yourself
![watermelon seed split separating watermelon seeds as they eat](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/BQ6NcVj-77440.jpg?width=800&height=533)
For all those times where you sit down to eat a half of a watermelon at your desk but you don't want to pick all the seeds out before you start eating, here's your solution.
It looks weird, but it works!
No Sleeping Mask? No Problem
![hair as mask on plane woman using hair as mask on plane](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/DCtHCK6W0AAv0oP-22555.jpg?width=800&height=533)
She's not about to waste her money on an airline mask when she's got a makeshift mask attached to her head!
That boy in the back looks jealous he isn't able to do it too.
Anything Can Be A Cup
![bell pepper tea cup using bell pepper as tea cup](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/tzurve6tex1z-75899.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If you don't mind the faint taste of vegetables in your tea, you can use a bell pepper as a cup.
Plus you save yourself the trouble of having to wash the mug after.
The Comfortable Concert Goer
![lying down at concert man lying down at concert using camera to see](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pVN0hdJ-47794.jpeg?width=800&height=1067)
Realistically, going to a concert is supposed to be more about the music than the actual stage performance itself.
Who are we to say that he can't enjoy the music lying down?
Forget About A Faucet
![straw in faucet straw stuck in faucet as tap](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/iaDyY-43523.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This person didn't have any interest in wasting their money on paying a plumber to come to the house to fix their sink.
Instead, they came up with a solution all on their own.
Roll With It
![paper towel in half cutting paper towel in half](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/423dab50b79d3dbc2680bb74b6-35912.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
It might not be the most comfortable option, but if the choice is between this or no toilet paper, we'll choose the paper towel roll.
How Badly Do You Want To BBQ?
![makeshift barbecue barbecuing in the rain with wheelbarrow covering barbecue](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/makeshift-barbecue-74342.jpeg?width=800&height=533)
It all comes down to how badly you want to make those hotdogs for lunch or how much you're craving steak for dinner.
A little bit of rain doesn't need to derail your dinner plans.
That's One Way To Adjust The Clock
![adjusting clock adjusting clock by posting paper note that says](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/adjusting-clock-48765.jpg?width=800&height=1067)
Why go to the effort of climbing up and changing the clocks in the school when you're just going to have to change them all again in a few months?
This seems like a much smarter solution.
Save Your Energy For Something More Important
![garbage chute tube garbage chute made of recycled garbage cans hanging from the balcony](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/garbage-chute-tube-56727.jpg?width=800&height=1066)
Your building may not have a trash chute built-in already, but that doesn't mean that you can't make one yourself!
Why do more sets of stairs than you need to?
Pretend It Was Intentional
![broken pot with plant broken pot incorporated into plant](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/broken-pot-with-plant-75471.jpg)
Instead of throwing the whole pot away, you can work it into the decor.
Now you can pretend that you were always planning to have your 7-year-old kick over the planter while chasing after his brother.
Make The Wires Work For You
![cable with flowers wrapped tv cables with flowers wrapped around them](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cable-with-flowers-wrapped-41655.jpg)
This 79-year-old woman decided that she didn't need her television cables to ruin her carefully curated living room decor.
So she turned them into vines with flowers growing out of them.
They're Basically Twins
![puppet stand in work calls man made puppet stand in for work calls](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/puppet-stand-in-work-calls-57554.jpg)
Tired of always having to make himself look presentable for video calls while working from home, this man created his puppet twin as a helpful little stand-in.
We're sure this will work perfectly for the days when he wants to stay off-camera.
From The Pool To The Kitchen
![cutting onions wearing swim goggles woman cutting onions with swimming goggles on](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cutting-onions-wearing-swim-goggles-73654.jpg?width=800&height=919)
Does it look a little goofy?
Absolutely, but who's going to be the last one laughing when you've got tears streaming down your face while helping to chop the onions and she's totally fine?
Take Advatange Of The Heat
![cookies on car dash cookies baking on front dash of hot car](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cookies-on-car-dash-77375.jpg)
If your car is going to be as hot as an oven after sitting in the office parking lot all day in the June heat, you might as well have a tasty treat to come back to.
This car must smell delicious.
As Cool As Can Be
![bulldog on ice in summer bulldog lying outside in summer on pile of ice](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bulldog-on-ice-in-summer-79895.jpg)
So your pup refuses to go in the kiddie pool to cool down and insists on staying outside in the heat in the summertime.
What do you do? Ice pile.
Too Hot To Handle
![Q3F5Rd9 tea mug made of mason jar and roll of tape](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Q3F5Rd9-91369.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This man's mason jar was quite literally too hot to handle after he made a fresh cup of tea, so he had to improvise!
It's not the worst solution we've ever seen.
A True Multipurpose Tool
![whisk stuck on power drill using power drill with a whisk for cake batter](https://www.dailyfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/whisk-stuck-on-power-drill-36456.jpg?width=800&height=600)
If you're torn between buying yourself an electric mixer or buying that power drill you've had your eye on, go for the drill.
An electric mixer can't help you install those new shelves in the living room, but the drill can whisk your cake mix.
