Welcome back, our dear Pandas. We know you’re meme-hardened internet veterans who have seen more jokes than most others. There’s probably nothing that could faze or befuddle you anymore, right? Well, to that I’ll say, “Wait just a minute,” because we’ve got some great pics to make your jaws drop while you do a double-take.
This is where the ‘Hol Up!’ subreddit comes in. The online community is dedicated to images, memes, and dark jokes that make you raise an eyebrow and wonder what the ever-loving heck is going on there. Upvote the pics that confused you, made you laugh, and made you say ‘hold up!’ as you scroll down. Enjoy! Just remember, some of these are not for the faint of heart. However, one recent study has indicated that lovers of dark humor also tend to be more intelligent, less aggressive, and have a better time fighting off the blues.
Comedy writer, musical comedian, and ‘pop star in waiting’ Ariane Sherine told Bored Panda that dark humor is surprising and that this surprise, along with misdirection, make us laugh. “We laugh out of shock at the inappropriateness of the joke—it’s a kind of ‘that shouldn’t be allowed, but it’s really funny as a result’ laughter.” Read on for our full interview with Ariane, as well as for our chat with the founder of the r/HolUp subreddit, Susan, aka redditor Siouxsie_siouxv2, and a handful of other moderators who were all very humorous and lighthearted. “r/HolUp is stupid and terrible, but it’s our stupid and terrible,” the founder said.
