Ahh, the Melbourne Cup. A time to reflect on the abuse of animals that keeps the gambling culture in the country alive. A day when we realise that horse girls are a very real thing, but even worse are their counterparts: horse boys.

My PEDESTRIAN.TV comrades and I will forever say nup to the cup for a multitude of reasons, but it sure is fun to point and laugh at the ridiculousness of the rich white people who attend.

So come and join us in doing said pointing and laughing as we rank some rancid pics of punters from bad to worse. Giddy up! (Unless you’re a jockey, yuck).

1. Sonic the Flemingtonhog

If you told me there’d be speed at the Melbourne Cup I would not be surprised, but this action shot takes things to a whole other level.

2. Angwy Jockey

Look at the little guy, he’s so mad. Or is he happy? Confused? I can’t really tell.

3. Two Men Dancing

This is the most ridiculous game of musical chairs I’ve seen in my life.

4. Four Men Not Dancing

The only thing that will give you pleasure in this image is probably the umbrella.

5. Barefoot Contessa

If you don’t have shoes at home, store-bought is just fine.

6. Oberyn vs The Mountain

A battle to the death. Grandstand? More like grand slam, amirite fellas?

7. Jeremy Armitage

I swear Nedd Brockman at the Melbourne Cup looks like the brother from Get Out. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

How does he have two hairstyles at once? *[Image: Getty Images].*

8. Umbrella vs The People

Remind me why all of these people brave such shit weather? Do they not know that staying at home on the couch is an option?

9. Bareback Under The Gloomy Sky

The pot of gold (fake tan) at the end of the rainbow.

10. Roz from Monsters Inc.

I understand you have to unwind after a long week of people not handing in their paperwork, but like this??

*In my mind, all of those bottles and cans are hers [Image: Getty Images].*

11. The Real Nightmare Before Christmas

Proof that money cannot buy you taste.

*If my funeral looks anything like this, I’m haunting every one of you fuckers [Image: Getty Images].*

12. Melbourne Cup Mudslide

Charming.

13. That Girl

We’ve all seen this woman at the club. She’s annoying, she’s way too lit and her friends have already left her to her own devices. It’s like 8pm girl, how are you this drunk already? Get out of the gay club, please.
