A [Reddit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo) user from Idaho released a series of cardboard cut out photos featuring a cut out of Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

The 'Are You Ready To Rock' series of photos are a set of incredibly funny and inventive visual puns based Johnson’s [wrestling moniker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clash-of-clans-1), The Rock. The Bedrock picture has a lady in bed with the cut out. There are also photos for Jailhouse Rock (The cut out locked in a jail cell), Sheetrock (the cut out covered in a bed sheet) and the cut out posed next to a small child for Kid Rock.

These cardboard cut out photos are clever and silly, and the whole joke has an endless array of possibilities given the number of words and phrases with the word ‘rock’ in them.
