33 Graphs That Reveal Painfully True Facts About Everyday Life
Danish writer/artist duo Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthaler create comedy cartoons and graphs depicting the everyday struggles, irritations, and insights of their fellow Westerners. Official-looking graphs show unofficial statistics from our daily lives that are at once unexpected and glaringly obvious.
The duo publishes their satirical creations every day on Wumo, their webcomic and newspaper cartoon strip (formerly known as Wulffmorgenthaler). Their cartoon career started in a comic strip competition in 2001. Their victory gave them the opportunity to be published in Politiken, a national Danish newspaper, for one month. Things continued looking up when their strip became very popular and became a regular feature in several blogs and newspapers in Scandinavia and Germany. Now their comic strip is a regular in The New York Times.
Take a look at this collection of graphs – are they true for you as well?

Got wisdom to pour?
When since was Uranium and Lead classified as food?
Whoosh….
Whoosh….
Get out

Most dangerous food “according to dietary experts”. Get the drift you fools.
Since America.
Naw lead was a Roman invention. They used it in their water pipes and eating utensils. Lead is only a food if you are a kid that eats the paint off your crib or wood door facing.
Loved all of it except that I would suggest that unless you want to be
making a particular statement about a particular religion, all of the
religions should just be an equal amount “extreme”. Not a religious
person myself, I just think that it’s kind of pointless to single out a
particular religion as the biggest relative source of extremism (unless
you’re making a political or racist statement) and that it’s a much stronger joke
if you don’t.
Hindu here, not offended at all! Find it super funny… chill bro! :)

I believe it is called Jhana Yoga, one of the 4 paths to Nirvana in Hinduism.
Meh, Jewish here. Not offended. All funny.
Yeah but someone from a proper religion might find that offensive, you know? Some one from one of the more ‘concerning’ religions! Naming no names. I think we all know who I’m talking about. Rhymes with Shmuslim!
Jewdaism not a proper religion like?
Not if you spell it like that
look a dubai, that place is fukin way better and awesome than the U.S. and it’s muslim. american terrorism was the vietnam war. Everyone views themselves as clean, lets stop giving a shit and laugh. *wink*
At least we called our slave labor slavery. Checkmate terrorist.
Depends who you meet, Muslims created by certain powerfull nations and I am sure you know who I am talking about, are actually not muslims. So……..dont want to say anything more.
Did you all miss that the most extreme religion in the graph was ‘Apple’?

Muslim here and not even close to offended. Your statement targets other religions worse than our own. How are you so sure which one is the “proper” religion? All the religions have their own views. And I believe we should follow our own religions and not think about others. I respect all Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists and so on, Why? Because I have lived and seen them all. I would say your statement is WAY more racist then then any others here.

“What is a concerning” religion? Name no names, of course, as naming someone’s religion might be offensive ;] just generalized definition would be helpful.
Ah blow it out yer hole. It’s a joke FFS!
Im Muslim and not offended, not even by your comment. It just shows how ignorant you are
Muslim here and not offended. You’re making a fuss about nothing.
Wasnt offended until the comment from Idiot OWEN

So funny, all those comments about “extreme religions”… and blablabla… didn’t people notice that the graph was about “religious extremism”… not about “extreme religions”…? And the fact that the four bars are not the same height.. maybe just to make it look more like a real graph? You have to be extremely religious, or religiously extreme not to get it. And indeed, the debate here is almost more funny than the joke, which was actually quite funny. (confession: I DO have an iPhone, and an iPad, and a Macbook…. and typing this on an iMac right now.. But no worry, I won’t blow up any Samsung store, or insult people using Nokia’s; I even have friends who have Samsungs. Really!)
Go outside. Breathe. Enjoy some sunshine. Get a joke.
guess that makes me dense. i was so focused on the apple bar i didnt even realize they were different heights until i went back and looked!
What amused said! lol (I really did think it was funny)
Everything was wonderful, but one suggestion. I’m guessing you didn’t make these and I’m just spitballing; 10% for good/bad service and cheap 15% for good/bad service and average tipper. 25% for good/bad service and someone who has worked in a restaurant before. 40% for nice tits.
No bad service gets no tip, tips are something you earn for doing better than expected. I tip very well when I get good service, but if you are rude slack forget things etc then you shouldn’t get a tip.
I’m with Jenni.
Actual Tip Scale
0% My food is cold / I never got the coffee I ordered (or) I never got the refill for the coffee I ordered / I’m offended by your existence and the only reason I stayed was because I’m hungry
15% You didn’t fuck up and I don’t like you
20% You didn’t fuck up and I do like you
30-40% I’m either drunk and rounding or you made me appreciate you as a human being who didn’t fuck up.
50% You’re funny and you didn’t fuck up.
Let’s be clear, I have the recourse of getting your manager to send me a different person from the waitstaff and calling the corporate office to lodge a formal complaint. If I don’t tip, feel lucky I didn’t complain.
Swap “pitbul [sic] enthusiasts” with sonething else and you’ve got a mildly amusing list…
Yea, pit bulls are fantastic. It’s the buttholes who mistreat them that give them a bad name.
Use the spelling error stats on contens(contents) of a toothpaste tube :) but all are amusing
Really funny. Loved it!
#lol
oh yes!! :-)
Amazing work! :) :) Love your site, keep doing it!
