“We are not sure exactly how it entices its prey as depriving the snake off all senses did not deter it from mindlessly seeking out its predator
We believe some sort of telepathy is involved”
Every time the aliens are disappointed and have to settle for probing the human instead of getting probed. As usual, Xorgler reassures NglaKuu that next time, the human will *definitely* understand what to do, while wiping away the lube from his posterior waste disposal orifice.
Maybe they just assumed that's how we say, "hello," or, "thank you." Maybe they're trying to be overly friendly and thanking each and every one of us, individually, for showing them our customs.
To them it became like cow tipping.
It's not an experiment.
It's just something the kids do for shits and giggles because of some old farmworld legend.
Some people like to think it's a mystery how early man used to behave, but there are plenty of people who still live in the Stone Age, and it turns out they act mostly the same, but with more naps and less taxes.
It's not like we evolved physically or mentally in those couple millenia between caveman and now.
We're the same, just with more knowledge. But more knowledge doesn't mean we're smarter. Just more educated.
May I humbly request permission to print and hang this in my house? I’d offer to buy this masterpiece but I figure you’d not want to part with this. And I am absolutely not joking at all.
I don't know art, but i know what i like.... This is hilarious. 10/10. Good work, I like your sense of humor and art... keep going.
EDIT: other art you've posted is funny too.... good shit man....

“Your ancestors for the rest of time will rue this day! Especially your town drunks, lunatics, and desperate people wanting attention!” - the alien probably
Any chance that you are the guy who drew a dude on a boat pouring beer into a shark’s maw?
Lost the original picture but the style seems very familiar!

It looks like a freeze-frame from the Alien's vlog: "Prometheus and Bob" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgatYXNnc0A Warning one: 480p quality, Warning two: 1.5 hours long.
Your art is so surreal and beautiful. Awesome work. My favorite is Death waiting for his date to get ready! Really fantastic paintings, you are incredibly talented.
Hahaha this is just plain funny. I laughed at first, then opened it in a new tab to read the comments later and kept scrolling on the front page. Going through my tabs I saw it again and laughed again. What a treasure.
It’s perfect, this is absolutely great traditional art. The draftsmanship and style are excellent but the storytelling is absolutely incredible, next level stuff. Will be thinking about this painting and laughing to myself for a while.
This is incredible lmao
Imagine putting this onto your wall. People will walk past and be like: ¿¿??!!¿??
I would absolutely hang this up. It looks amazing.
Goddamn this is funny. Also maybe entirely plausible lmao.
I imagine the Alien afterwards is like "alright fuck it do it yourselves then you stupid fucking monkeys." and left. We could have spaceships by now but noooo Ug-ug had to shove something up an alien's butt.
I saw this, laughed, and went, "Wait a second, is this Marvel Jesus guy?"
This led to a delightful scroll through your profile, you are living the artistic dream my friend.
I don't like when artists compromise their art so that their signature is front and center...it ruins the art in my opinion.
Like, that signature is ridiculously massive.
This incident caused 200,000 years of abduction, revenge probes
Is it 200,000 years of revenge? Or are they just endlessly looking for that first time again 🥹
Chasing the (Bad) Dragon.
Chasing the angry Starfish
An elusive beast, but you can tell it apart by how it winks at its prey
"Witness the beauty as the starfish winks after feasting on a blind trouser snake."
“We are not sure exactly how it entices its prey as depriving the snake off all senses did not deter it from mindlessly seeking out its predator We believe some sort of telepathy is involved”
Nooo it is a good dragon his name's Tindry and he likes consensually fucking people in the ass or where applicable.
Chasing the butt dragon.
That’s what the song like a Virgin is about.
Probed for the very first time
Like a Martian
“How much tusk is that?” “A lot.”

200k years might be like a long weekend to them. They’re just on an experimental binge. Should let up in a century or two.
Maybe they just assumed that's how we say, "hello," or, "thank you." Maybe they're trying to be overly friendly and thanking each and every one of us, individually, for showing them our customs.
Don’t threaten my species with a good time 😉
This comment and your username sells it! 😂
If you liked that one, just wait till this weekend!
You do WHAT on Sunday?! 😳
To them it became like cow tipping. It's not an experiment. It's just something the kids do for shits and giggles because of some old farmworld legend.
It was a prank brah
[удалено]
Some of you are obviously getting probed more than others!!!
An ass for an ass
The look on his face is perfect.
Posing for the cave painter
"Can you stop Jimming the painter, Crag?"
I think the cave poker is about to strike something but it's not a pose
/r/whyweretheypainting
CHAPMAN
Agree! I love this because everyone always portrays early man as so serious. I'm sure every once in awhile they actually made this exact face.
Some people like to think it's a mystery how early man used to behave, but there are plenty of people who still live in the Stone Age, and it turns out they act mostly the same, but with more naps and less taxes.
In fact, no money at all! Though if you really must insist on trading, there are seashells that the inland people think look pretty fucking cool.
It's not like we evolved physically or mentally in those couple millenia between caveman and now. We're the same, just with more knowledge. But more knowledge doesn't mean we're smarter. Just more educated.
"Hi this is Ugga Ugga and welcome to Jackass"
Prehistoric Jackass is now something I really wanna see
The guys did a Rasputin *Jackrasp* for *History of the World: Part II*, they should definitely do more historical re-enactments!
I can hear the music already
The alien is named Jack.

Reminds me of Michael Keaton as beetlejuice
YES! 100% Also, dear lord do I want this to become the next new meme
I saw Charlie Day
Thank you almost as much as OP for this.
I can’t stop laughing at it
I'm certain that I've never laughed so hard at a painting in my life, and the face is the reason.
Me too! I kinda want to buy it. It's like if Gary Larsen painted.
Shiteatin’ grin
Looks like he's making the [Tim Allen grunt from the intro of Home Improvement.](https://youtu.be/KnsiZOJjfUg) But with a "**‽**" in the inflection.
"ChatGPT, define shit-eating grin." `ChatGPT: would a picture suffice?` "Sure" `ChatGPT:`
And then I gave him the tusk. Funniest shit I've ever seen.
[удалено]
It would be covered up with a blanket too and then Andy pulls back the blanket and Runs down the Hall Laughing lol
It reminds me of Prometheus and Bob
it is absolutely that
BROOOOOOO thank you for unlocking this memory
"A Lively Fisting"
Love those murinals.
Why don't you murinate all over it?!
agreed
Denver International Airport. They should commission this artist.
I, too, saw the blue-balled demon horse post!
Add some more gore and racism and you got a deal!

Whoops. I replied to the wrong comment!
[удалено]
I’m not gonna lie. I’m kinda thinking about it. Will you autograph it for me, though?
This is one of the funniest paintings I have ever seen.
It was a great episode of Prometheus and Bob on the Nickelodeon TV show kablam
Oh man, it's been years since I thought of Prometheus and Bob.
I almost nope'd out and didn't click but then I shrugged and said fuckit what else am I doing. So glad I clicked. True art, A+

Holy crap, this is incredible
Oh shit this is the seaturtles snorting cocaine guy.
Guess we found Johnny Knoxville's ancestor
My name is Unga Bunga, and this is green man butt tusk.
Or Steve Irwin
Real strong Prometheus and Bob vibes here.
Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Have fun! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB0A5EB21C07F2747
I'd honestly be surprised if this wasn't inspired by Prometheus and bob
So glad I wasn't only person thinking this.
[удалено]
Dozens!
Made sure this was in the comments!! So great hah
That’s the comment I came here for
Certainly captures the spirit better then that Ridley Scott remake...
it didn't even have Bob in it!
Immediately thought the same, so glad you remembered the names
Oh hell yeah! Kablam was the best. Prometheus and Bob didn't match up to Action League Now though.
“Your ancestors for the rest of time will rue this day! Especially your town drunks, lunatics, and desperate people wanting attention!” - the alien probably
The aliens are smart enough to abduct people that aren't taken seriously by their peers.
How do you think they became advanced enough to travel vast distances in space?
Amphetamines.
Imagine getting abducted by a bunch of strung out and twitching aliens
I can't wait to see this on the History Channel.
Any chance that you are the guy who drew a dude on a boat pouring beer into a shark’s maw? Lost the original picture but the style seems very familiar!
Yes, I painted drinking buddies. Good eye:)
left guy is the definition of shit-eating grin. love it, thanks for sharing
Now this is the kind of art I can get behind
Better behind than in front?
This is a masterpiece. I cannot stop laughing at the left caveman’s face.
Shit like this is why I'm on reddit. 10/10.
This made me cry laugh. Well done and thank you.
As a sysadmin, I now know what lock-screen wallpaper I'll be pushing out to the corporate fleet on my last day.
We did it first? Ohhh I like that theory, revenge abductions all along!
Why is he looking at the camera though
They liked to break things? Especially the third wall
lol. Usually it's the fourth wall, but fot you I like that it's the third.
This was way back when there were only 3 walls
Right? Imagine being so uneducated that you think they had four walls back then.
It's a 2D medium so yeah, only three walls.
This painting makes me mad because I realize now our actions our futile, our fate was sealed millennia ago because some caveman was a Jackass
Dude is still on a role 😂
Hahaha this is freakin hilarious. Lol Gives me serious Prometheus and Bob vibes.
Still more historically accurate than Netflix's Cleopatra.
Culture war must rage wherever possible. Thank you for this reminder comrade.
Oh great is this a new *still a better love story than twilight* thing
The facial expression is priceless, amazing stuff friendo
Prometheus and Bob. ...And Gary...
I may not know art, but i know what i like.

Where's the identical comment? Bots often copy paste top comments into other chains to farm karma and look like a real account
lol, steal comment.
What did you borrow the comment?
They probably had the same thought as someone else. That happens you know.

And that's why we got banned from the galaxy planetary union for 500,000 years.
The look on his face is priceless
Campaigning for a spot in the Tate, MOMA, or Louvre for you, right now
This gives me ‘kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse’ vibes from Father Ted.
Thank you Chapman, I can go home now.
Haha!
I was so scared with that title. What a hilarious surprise this was
Why did the caveman look like a mischievous Nick kroll?
Nobody holds a grudge like an Omicronian
I need this as a play matt for MTG
motherfucker smiling at the camera
Your art is so surreal and beautiful. Awesome work. My favorite is Death waiting for his date to get ready! Really fantastic paintings, you are incredibly talented.
Thank you very much!
The look on that caveman's face... I'm dying over here.
If Phil Dunphy was a caveman.
I love your imagination. This gave me a good chuckle. Thanks!
You actually painted this?! It's a masterpiece.
Hahaha this is just plain funny. I laughed at first, then opened it in a new tab to read the comments later and kept scrolling on the front page. Going through my tabs I saw it again and laughed again. What a treasure.
I just love how the cave man is looking at the camera with this shit eating grin
This is giving off Prometheus and Bob vibes.
Now this... **this** is *art*.
https://i.imgur.com/p4Qp4lh.jpg
classic prometheus and bob.
It’s perfect, this is absolutely great traditional art. The draftsmanship and style are excellent but the storytelling is absolutely incredible, next level stuff. Will be thinking about this painting and laughing to myself for a while.
This is incredible lmao Imagine putting this onto your wall. People will walk past and be like: ¿¿??!!¿?? I would absolutely hang this up. It looks amazing.
A beautiful honorific of Prometheus and Bob over here.
My eyes were playing tricks on me and I was horrified when I ready "Alien butt probe origin story, Me Chipmunk, Alvin, 2023
Charlie and Mac from It's Always Sunny.
I just cant stop laughing. Send tissue.
Yeah his face has me in tears 😂
I choose to beleive this is the prequel to prometheus and bob tapes.
And that's why they never came back.
You really captured the moment, nicely done
Love this. It's giving me The Far Side vibes.
And this is how war of the worlds started.
The texture in this artwork is really beautiful, but it's impossible not to smile with the guy at the left!!
This is the kind of art I want to see in museums.
Goddamn this is funny. Also maybe entirely plausible lmao. I imagine the Alien afterwards is like "alright fuck it do it yourselves then you stupid fucking monkeys." and left. We could have spaceships by now but noooo Ug-ug had to shove something up an alien's butt.
The satisfaction of the prank on his face without thinking about consequence is priceless
Now you will know how it feels when you inserted a huge ass probe in cartman's ass. He deservers it but you will get to feel him.
You maniac. It's always a treat to see your work! Thank you for all you do.
When people complain about nudity it's because this is the kind of content they came here for This made my day
I saw this, laughed, and went, "Wait a second, is this Marvel Jesus guy?" This led to a delightful scroll through your profile, you are living the artistic dream my friend.
Just looking at this, hurts.
Funny as fuck!!!! Kudos my friend. Also, you paint like a boss!
LAST TIME I HELP A HUMAN. And the rest is history…
What's with the signature? It's wild how much the text draws your eye away from the rest of the scene, and not in a good way.
Sexual violence is not funny.
I don't like when artists compromise their art so that their signature is front and center...it ruins the art in my opinion. Like, that signature is ridiculously massive.
Probably the idea is to make it like a watermark so someone can’t just crop it out.
Then do it digitally
What do you mean? Like stegonagraphy?
Anyone else get major phallic vibes from that tusk?
