The most awesome thing about the Thagomizer is that it became the mainstream scientific term for such a tail appendage

I did not know that, ha ha!!!

The one where the guy paints everything including his dog and cat (The Dog, The Cat, The House, etc.). I think the subtitle was something like "There, that should clear things up around here!"

My friends had one on their refrigerator that showed two sharks in the foreground, a singking ship in the background and legs, arms, torsos & heads floating in the water all around them. The sign on the ship was "ACME Mannequin Company" and one shark said to the other, "What is this, some kind of cruel hoax?".

An old man is standing beside a very tall ladder looking up and saying: "Ya know, when I was your age we had to make our own brushes... ...and I still think your flesh-tones are too orange...

Bunch of cows driving in a car. They are driving past a fenced in field with people standing in it. One cow is leaning out the window yelling, "Yak, Yak, yakity, Yak"

On the ground is a large broken glass jar, with random humans walking away. From the cloud above you hear "Uh oh".

The one where the pith helmet clad jungle explorer forgot to empty his boots.

One of my favorite memories of childhood was having to buy something for a Secret Santa at school. I had the first three galleries, so I got a new one for the gift: Cows of our Planet. My dad and I read the entire thing sitting at the mall while mom was shopping. We couldn't stop laughing the whole time, and the entire mall echoed with our guffawing. Dad was actually crying he was laughing so hard. I haven't seen him laugh like that since.

I won't describe them because the imagination does a great job, but Larson does even better. So no matter how you imagine them in your mind, you either need to own the book or you already own the book.
