There are few things funnier than the cone of shame. (That is, of course, only when the cone of shame isn’t paired with a serious injury or sickness.) But the cone of shame gets taken to an entirely different level when creative humans get involved, and we have hilarious examples to prove it. Get ready to LOL.
And if you’re looking for something more advanced or more comfy than the plastic version, check out these cone of shame alternatives.
Just Monkeyin’ Around
Because misery loves company. Though this guy looks everything but miserable.
Sticker Shock
Stickers help most things. But apparently nothing can overcome the #greatsadness that is the cone of shame.
The Bright Side
This guy’s a real glass-half-full kind of dog, you know? A ring of plastic has become a ray of sunshine, and he’s fully embraced it.
Bark Wars
He’s just really excited for Rogue One, OK?
Shaken, Not Stirred
Apparently the most popular thing to do when your dog is gifted the cone of shame is turn him or her into an alcoholic beverage.
All you need is a shaker…
And a makeshift olive garnish!
Funny Face
As if it weren’t hilarious enough when you could see your dog’s face…
Brone of Shame
Bro + cone = brone. This bro had a little too much fun partyin’ it up. Natty Light will do that to you.
Bright Idea
The next gem in the Disney-Pixar suite of flicks is a live-action movie all about Dug, the adorable dog who “does not like the cone of shame.”
We’ll admit, we do feel a tiny bit sad when our dogs have to wear the dreaded cone of shame, but as long as they’re not feeling any pain, it can be kiiind of really funny. We know you’ve been through it—share your best pics with us!
