What funny iNat observations have you seen? And do you think intentionally funny observations have any value?
The funniest ones I have seen are many of the homo sapiens observations and the ones where a person is holding nettles or poision oak/ivy/sumac
These projects were specifically designed to gather such observations:

https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/observational-comedy
This project is a little different, but a similar concept:

iNat is not intended for observations of people, but otherwise any observation, funny or not, can be of value.
I wouldn’t say that I have that many funny observations, especially since most of my photos are of plants.
Probably my three favorites are

Any photo with signs that are ironic with the photo make a good observation.
Interesting. Thank you.
There’s a project for this too:

Wow! I like this one. Looks like it came out of an ukiyo-e woodblock print!
These donkeys were blocking the road on my way home from hiking last summer:

A pesky red-winged blackbird caused quite the ruckus at the airport back in April. Very entertaining for those of us waiting for our flights: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/156129303
This hedgehog is up there with the Mona Lisa in terms of enigmatic smiles: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/156624433

Nest-building is serious business for Fulica atra: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152645842
I don’t know what the forum policy is regarding linking other people’s observations, but there quite a few absolute gems in the Geralds of the World project, especially one of a brawl involving a Mountain Cottontail, a squirrel and a few birds, as well as one of a little raven with a seemingly concerned expression being embraced by a Jesus sculpture.
Not to hype myself up but I like to think I had a good one (read: corny) with this observation.
This might be counted as an ironic 10mph speed limit sign. A bit ambitious even for these sporty Italian snails.

What is funny about nettle though? It’s easy to hold it without being hurt.
Welcome to the forum, Pete!
The lighting/shadow in this fly observation I made the other week cracked me up when I was editing it to post - hadn’t noticed in the field: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/160468300
I don’t have many funny observations of my own, but I’ll share some that make me smile!

Now deleted, but someone gave this the maverick ID of ‘Tiger’ and I think that’s wonderful.

That’s his chair now!
I don’t have many funny observations either, but here’s a couple.

This guy was just near an intersection watching the roadway very intently:

I’m sure he had many a fine meal in mind.
