The 20 Awesomest Bob Ross Paintings

Some of you may be unfamiliar with Bob Ross, but for those of you who had access to PBS between 1983 and 1994 you'll recognize that afro anywhere. Known for his natural landscapes with "happy mountain streams" and "fuzzy clouds", watching an episode of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MghiBW3r65M" target="_blank"><em>The Joy of Painting</em></a> was the equivalent of giving your mind a quaalude, courtesy of public access television. No woodland streams or majestic mountains in this gallery, these paintings are all about the warped mind underneath that trademark afro. In the words of one YouTuber, " Bob + Ross = Boss."

Not many artisans have the chops to capture the essence (aka bat-sh*t insanity) that is Busey.

Bob trades in the paint for Spirograph to work up some delicious looking spirals.

Bob Ross WTF

Giddy up, Bob Ross!

Eh, sorta impressive, but did you see Bob's mountain stream #1,017? A-mazing!

I would've expected something more realistic from you, Bob.

In a parallel Bob Ross universe. "Let's just add some happy brown to that afro..."

Most people don't know but Bob actually developed his artistic hand doing prison tats in San Quentin.

Nothing creates a peaceful creative mood for painting quite like Slayer.

If you happen to drop acid and watch <em>The Joy of Painting</em>, this is what you can expect. Have fun fighting off the demons of your mind, kids!

"Mmm-mmm. That is a tasty burger painting!"

I so desperately want this sign to actually exist.

Nooo, Bob! Say it ain't so! This kind of scandal may very well bring the art world crumbling to its knees.

Not even the happiest of trees could save this atrocity.

Bob, I had no idea you were an ass man. Not all of Bob's paintings are <a href="http://www.heavy.com/comedy/comedy-videos/funny-videos/2012/02/bob-ross-xxx-painting/" target="_blank">wholesome</a>.

"On a mountain of skulls in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood..." Yea, yea so how about some fluffy clouds or something?
