dark humor

It's true that these spicy memes may not be for everyone. They're a bit twisted, and definitely more suited for those of us who have somewhat loose morals. Your mom or grandma might find them crass. Your boss? Forget about it. We recommend you hide your phone and keep another tab ready while you scroll through this material.  And if you find yourself in need of more spice? We've got you covered. 

Learning the ABC is a significant milestone for children because it is the first step towards learning how to read and write. Most children use alphabet books with corresponding pictures or information to help them memorize the letters; A is for apple, B is for ball. The pictures help capture the imagination of children and also learn about the world. But who says education needs to stop at adulthood? Illustrator Toby Leigh has created ABC for Adults — "twisting the meaning of innocent, childlike words into hysterically funny yet terrifying adult themes." According to his website, Toby made the parody version of "the classic ABC books from yesteryear" because, "Unfortunately, we all grew up and became paranoid, cynical adults filled with fear and hatred. But don't despair, this new book will help guide you and your family through this difficult phase of your existence." Check out a sample of the hilarious works below, where H is for heart attack, and Z is for zippers… in bondage suits. 

If you ever find yourself in an emotional rut, tired all day even though you wake up at 3pm at the earliest, hungover not from partying, but from dehydration, or restarting a show on Netflix you've already watched five times, then these memes are for you. We've put together some painfully relatable depression memes for those who feel dead inside but can still somehow muster up enough humor to chuckle dryly at some funny content. Sad souls deserve a good laugh too, and sometimes wholesome, feel-good memes just don't hit the same. 

Whenever I need to consult the internet as to how to complete a task or deal with a situation, WikiHow inevitably shows up in my Google search. Most of the time, the advice is fairly useful - at its worst, it's pretty corny. But the message of a WikiHow article is hardly important when compared to the weird, cursed, and often cringey art that is meant to illustrate the advice or solutions. But it turns out the strange illustrations, while occasionally unhelpful, are very good where meme-making is concerned. And thanks to the subreddit r/DisneyVacation,we can easily enjoy these unholy marriages of "art" and spicy humor. We've wrangled up some primo examples, but joining the subreddit will lead to hours of dark humor and entertainment. See for yourself.

Paging all edge lords and dark humor enthusiasts! If you've been craving some criminally dark humor, you've come to the right place. These spicy and utterly cursed comments are not for the faint of heart. While scrolling through this gallery you'll find that no joke is too crass, and no innocent YouTube video is safe from the evil-minded wordsmiths of the internet. Though these jokes may be in poor taste, they're definitely an impressive display of quick wit. We're probably going to hell anyway.  May as well enjoy some dangerously dark humor while we're at it.

Greetings, internet friends. We're back with an exciting array of random memes for anyone who needs 'em. As much as we love a good, wholesome funny cat meme as much as the next meme connoisseur, sometimes we like a bit of edge with our humor. This spicy collection of content is full of jokes ranging from relatable to kinda twisted, and we're here for it.

Wholesome memes about family time and cats are great... if that's your thing. But it's sad to say they just don't hit as hard as most of these dark memes. Sure, the jokes can seem dangerous, but if you really look at it that way, it's probably just not your humor. These memes are for the people who can get really dark, but love to laugh at the severely f**ked up things in life too. If that's you, enjoy!

Edgelords can be pretty annoying when they put zero creativity into their provocative facade, but sometimes you catch a cleverly written edgy response in the comments that is as entertaining as it is disturbing. We've got a mix of cursed comments featuring wrong answers and dark, spicy humor from people who aren't afraid to go there. 

If you're bored of the usual image macros and Twitter memes, boy do we have a gallery for you. While some of these memes and pics might leave you scratching your head, many of them boast some impressively dark humor and a whole lot of weirdness. It's the kind of content we crave after a long day of toiling away collecting fluffy and relatable memes. We hope you like it, too.

2020 has not been a good year for people who already suffer from depression and anxiety. Imagine feeling worried and alone your whole life and then a literal plague hits. Not cool. Others might be experiencing dark feelings and moods swings for the first time because of the state of the world, and we totally get it. We've got a big bunch of painfully relatable memes and tweets about living with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and general misery. If you've ever been stuck in a dark, mental rut, then these memes will surely resonate with you.

Once upon a time the internet meme universe comprised largely of webcomics. Anyone who's been around long enough probably remembers xkcd, Cyanide and Happiness, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, rage comics and many other iconic comics of the early 2000s that are still meme'd today. Well Chris Simpsons Artist is upholding the tradition of web-based comic art and we love to see it. We've collected a handful of @chrissimpsonsartist's greatest hits for anyone who enjoys delightfully absurd humor. 

It's the third week of Women's History Month and we're celebrating meme-style by featuring some of our favorite femme memelords. This week we're pleased to present writer @aidenarata, whose memes toe the line between sardonic humor and relatable introspection with cutting precision. @aidenarata's consistent aesthetic evokes a familiar femme nostalgia, which she uses as a backdrop for her downbeat witticisms. Her memes have the vibe of someone sweetly smiling as they scream internally—a feeling we're pretty familiar with. We've collected some of our favorite posts from @aidenarata's Instagram account. Be sure to give her a follow if you vibe with the memes!

When boredom strikes, what will you do? Do you have someone to turn to? Or are you left to your own devices? Boredom can strike at ANY TIME. It's very important to be prepared, to have a plan. And unfortunately, you can't rely on people to quell the tedium. You need to depend on yourself. That's why we're here to promote memes. When the going gets boring, they're our number one solution. You don't need money to enjoy them, and you don't need a friend. Memes are the self-sufficient humor-lover's antidote to monotony. And we've got a whole lot of them right here for you.

Both my mom and my therapist are constantly reminding me not to dwell on the past. They say it's unhealthy and that it prevents a person from living in the present. Most of the time, I'd say they have a point. It's hard to make progress when you're ruminating over an awkward interaction from ten years ago. But what if the "dwelling" is in the name of entertainment? While it's true that neither party was referring to history memes, I'd like to think that scrolling through nuggets of historical humor is probably the only healthy way to "live in the past," even if it's just for a modest five minutes. 

Forcing that fake smile everyday can get old real quick, especially when you feel the the big sad creeping up on you. It's totally normal to feel like crap once in a while, and when we're deep in the void, sometimes those inspirational image macros with platitudes about positivity and self-love just make us feel worse. That's when we turn to morbid memes. If you're in a terrible mood and feel like embracing the darkness within, we've got just the content. These memes definitely won't fix your problems, but at least they won't undermine your pain.
