50 Posts That Go From ‘Innocent’ To ‘Not Anymore’ Pretty Fast
Interview
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.

He’s Not Wrong...

Scary thought, this was actually supposed to be the subject of my masters paper in law school. My angle would be the right to die, based on new technology for the military to "freeze" wounded soldiers in the field so they would have time to get to a real hospital. If a criminal is fataly wounded while commiting crime, would it be in breach of his rights to resurrect him later?

I know it's meant as a joke, but hyenas actually DO belong in the same group as cats, called Feliformia.

You see, the joke is that hyenas "laugh", so, yes, everyone knows it's a hyena. Thanks

I'm amazed that so many people don't get that this is a joke, which is actually rather impressively thick.

A twisted sense of humor is a necessity, especially in trying times.
