I'll describe the second one..
La imagen es de dos muñecos de nieves. El uno a la izquierda está siendo robado por el uno a la derecha, que lleva una máscara y la celebración de un arma muy peligrosa - un secador de pelo.

This was good practice! Correct me though, I think I made mistakes..what is the right way to say snowman?

Can't understand why you would say celebration here....
Secador (no need to say de pelo) is masculine
Secadora (for clothes) is feminine

okay these are the words that first came to my mind
las hamburgesas
los muñeco de nieves
el animal
la persona
los coches

please check for any errors. There are errors...but what?

[Planet hopper]

Mmmmmmmmm
The point here is trying to explain the irony, the second meaning.
For that, all of them are wrong, you didn't catch it
Grammatically, only the third one is wrong, make muñeco plural, and nieve singular, since muñeco is the main noun in the phrase, and de nieve is a prep phrase acting as an adjective.
Try to answer the question: Why are the pictures funny?
It's difficult, but it is a very natural thing to do

Cheers

oh, well then, the first thing is a blur of confusion. I knew it was irony, but i didn't know how to say them, so I just put down the first things that came to my head, which aren't explaining the meaning

[Planet hopper]

I understand you, Jessica. You reacted as an elementary student would do. It is very important that you always try, believe in yourself, go one step beyond what you can do...
Maybe I just didn't explain myself what to do.

You don't need to explain a lot. Just try to convey the irony in one phrase. Then, try to translate it into Spanish. If you do Chinese, you help me too.

These are my solutions, making them up as it goes, from Spanish to English:

Lo que te dan por 5 euros - The surprise inside the box
No se acalore, amigo - Don't make me warm you up!
Una señal de al revés - A second too late
Casi pierdo la cabeza - My head was rolling
El destino - Fate

:dan cingman:

[Jessica]

what do you mean by me reacting as an elementary student would do?

[Planet hopper]

Nothing important. Try to go beyond translating word by word and convey some meaning, explain yourself, communicate...you will improve your Spanish quickly.

What would you say in Chinese? I am curious...

[Jessica]

say what in Chinese?

[Planet hopper]

What would you say in Chinese when you are shown these pictures?
Just going on with the thread...

[Jessica]

ummmmmmm
Dui bu qi wo bu zi dao :P I'm not a expert at Chinese you know. When I was little I knew a lot of Chinese but they seeped out because of English ^_^
yeah, it's weird, I'm Chinese and I should know it, but I just...don't know! :P Lo siento
