Polaroid · USA · 2004 · Instant film

The One600 TBS very funny is a consumer-grade instant camera produced by Polaroid in 2004, part of the company's later line of integral film cameras. It follows the basic design language of other One600 models, featuring a simple plastic body with a fixed-focus lens and straightforward controls typical of entry-level instant cameras of the era. The "very funny" designation suggests it may have been part of a thematic series or special edition, possibly featuring unique graphics or packaging to appeal to a younger or more casual market. Like other cameras in the One600 series, it used Polaroid's 600 integral film pack, producing credit-card sized prints that developed outside the camera in approximately one minute.

During its production in 2004, Polaroid was already facing challenges that would eventually lead to the company ceasing instant film production in 2008. The One600 TBS very funny represents this transitional period in Polaroid history, showcasing how the company continued to innovate in marketing and design even as its core technology was approaching obsolescence. While not technologically groundbreaking, it documents an important moment in photographic history when instant film was still widely available but digital photography was rapidly gaining market share, making it a representative example of the last generation of classic Polaroid cameras before the company's reorganization.
