Absurd humor is quite amazing. Comedy in general is all about subverting expectations, but absurd humor takes it to the next level. It’s random, unexpected and, often, brilliant. Not necessarily sophisticated, but certainly intriguing and makes you question things.
The following pictures are a great example of visual absurdity. They’ve been hand-picked from the Out Of Context 2.0 Facebook group with over 145,500 members and they’re simply hilarious. These pictures make no sense whatsoever and that’s why we love them. Scroll down to enjoy!
For example, people love to use images of Marilyn Monroe, captioning them with claims that she was a size 16 and still considered the bombshell of the time. And while, yes, the woman was curvy, she was still quite petite. People claim that her size fluctuated to around 8 or 10.
All of this to say that when consuming new and serious media do not immediately trust every picture and headline you see. Seek information in preferably unbiased, reliable sources. But, of course, when it comes to lists like these, all the common sense goes out the window. Just scroll through it and enjoy the hilarity.
