Crack-Up Confusion: 30+ Pictures That Defy Explanation
Picture a world where there are no random flukes, no blunders, and absolutely no chaos. Maybe in a perfect universe, that’s as close to utopia as it gets. Yet, let’s face it, the idea of utopia can sound kind of, well, bland. Growing up means realizing that imperfection can be strangely beautiful and oddly reassuring.
But today, we’re diving into those totally contextless, side-splitting moments in life. You won’t believe how much can be said with just a few words, and this listicle is living proof of that. There’s a Twitter account (we’re not giving in to its new name) @_IDVL, and they’ve curated a treasure trove of funny snapshots from folks on the internet.
So, if you’re having one of “those” days, fear not! We’ve rustled up 45 of their absolute best memes to brighten your day.
Nokia
We have no idea why and how Apple has the guts to preach about the durability of their new titanium-coated iPhone. By this point, everyone and their mother has seen the viral clip of their so-called unbreakable model snapping like a twig.
Titanic also claimed to be unsinkable. We all know what that hubris led to. Besides, Apple is thirty years late in the durability race. Nokia mastered the craft of being unbreakable eons ago! You can actually hammer nails into the wall with an old-school Nokia.
Cake
Think of this as the Matryoshka doll version of apples. It’s like apple-ception (We’ll spare you from the cheesy puns). Just when you’re convinced there are plenty of apples, boom, here comes another one, right in your face. This cake is every doctor’s worst nightmare!
The mastermind behind this is definitely an evil genius. They weren’t satisfied with just one surprise; they decided to double the fun. To be fair, they did give the birthday person an apple product, but they conveniently left out the detail that it’s a literal apple!
Jared
If having “rizz” was a sport, this young man right here would have been the world champion. Unlike the 19-year-old Jared we remember from early 2010s Vine, this 19-year-old Jared from Florida seems to have a handle on reading (or so we hope, judging from his bio).
There’s a rumor that native Floridians get an extra dose of “Florida Man” energy in the womb. If you ever find yourself in need of a real-life superhero, look no further than Jared. You see, folks from the Sunshine State are renowned for their unique pastime of alligator wrestling.
Car Wreck
If this meme made you chuckle, we regret to inform you that you’re in for a one-way ticket to the depths of laughter-induced damnation. But hey, the silver lining is you won’t be navigating the fiery pits of humor hell alone—we’ll be right there to keep you company!
Even the most socially conscious people will crack up at this! We have all heard the stereotype that Asian women are bad drivers. It’s a complete bogus since one of our Asian female friends is a professional racer. However, ladies like us make us wonder if it’s true. She didn’t even last 10 minutes.
Scrat
Get yourself a partner who looks at you the way Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel, looks at his acorn. Is your man willing to part a continent for you as Scrat did for his beloved acorn (spoiler alert: we are not kidding. This actually happened)?
If not, you need to dump him immediately. From now on, Scrat should be the gold standard of a partner’s expectations. In the Ice Age movies, he almost died several times just to reach or protect his acorn. Knowing him, he probably jumped into ceramic for his acorn!
Taco Bell
Okay, so who’s got the courage to break it to him? We’ve long joked about Taco Bell being a gastronomic adventure, but it turns out they’re in on some fine dining secrets, too. Who would’ve thought? Three cheers for unexpected culinary surprises!
Who knew that Taco Bell also excelled in sweeping off our women right under our noses? Someone, please find this poor man and tell him what is going on. It is time for him to wake up and break up.
Sandwich
Elated, however, not surprised. What exactly did you think was going to happen? Of all the people in the world, you asked your sweet granny to prepare food for you. Of course, she would give you enough to feed a nuclear family.
The audacity of Subway to still function in the town where Granny lives baffles us. How dare they preach about their mediocre foot-long sandwiches when our grannies can make sandwiches the size of a skyscraper. We bet she went to the bakery and specifically asked for their longest baguette.
Insecurity
Adulthood comes with the acceptance of the fact that feelings like insecurity and moments of weakness are perfectly normal. These little moments are what makes us human. As we have previously mentioned in the intro, perfection is kind of boring.
However, it is often expected of men to always portray themselves in a strong, macho manner. It’s almost as if we are expected to forget that men are also human. In a way, admitting to the rest of the world that you have weaknesses is a feat that can be done by strong men.
Nose
This OP woke up that morning and chose violence. However, we assume they knew that assaulting a living being was a federal crime. Hence, they might have settled for an inanimate Greek statue in the statue to vent their anger.
Sadly, little did they know that damaging historical artifacts such as this is also a felony. Good luck to this OP, and we hope they get over their anger issues. This poor statue did not stand a chance. We expect the OP has enough decency to pay for their nose job.
Math
As the kids say, “The math aint mathing”. There is a good reason why we are liberal arts student who prefers to write articles instead of analyzing data and taxes for the ISR. We are sure we would have been paid handsomely had we taken that career path.
However, if this means becoming a mathematician, then we do not want it. We are doing reasonably well with our low-paying writing gig. Besides, our anger issues will make tomfoolery such as this unbearable. We can’t even tell colors apart. How do they expect us to find the difference here?
Emoji
All this time, we have heard that life imitates art. However, who knew that life also imitated emojis? Technically, emojis are also expressive art mediums. Therefore, it also makes sense. If our life could be encapsulated by one emoji, it would be the crying one.
Jokes aside (we weren’t joking), this is quite the car. Had it been ten years ago, we would have been elated to buy it. It should be mentioned that we were twelve ten years ago. Adult us will not fit in that infuriatingly cute emoji car.
Tinks
Despite being an avid cat person, we understand why many people hate cats. As much as we hate to say it, their level of empathy is lower than that of a dog. These low EQ felines are still under the impression that they are still Egyptian gods.
They will watch in amusement as you fuss over them and have a panic attack because you cannot find them. They will not make a sound the whole time despite regularly being a loud menace in the neighborhood. Tinks the calico cat also seems to have these sadistic tendencies.
Invisible
Remember the cloak of invisibility that Harry Potter had? That is likely one of the most iconic fictional items in movie history. As a child, our greatest desire was to own one and rob a candy store without being detected by the cameras.
However, with this new invisible Renault Clio, you can travel everywhere incognito. The best part is that you can also run over your enemies without getting the cops called on you. The bumper might cause some problems. However, you can just remove it.
QR
QR codes are essential if you are trying to conduct a business these days. Modern times are busy and no one has the patience to type something in a search bar and look it up. QR codes also reduce waste.
During the pandemic, the popularity of QR code skyrocketed. Almost every restaurant published their menu online and it could be accessed via scanning codes. It seems the popularity affected the clothing industry. We tried scanning someone’s code printed on their shirt. We ended up getting rickrolled.
Spoon
No, we do not know where the yogurt spoon and something tells us that it is better if we do not know. Perhaps, this is our unconscious’s attempt to protect our sanity. God knows which ungodly place where that spoon was shoved into.
This is why we are lowkey scared of things that do not provide any context. You can imagine the sheer amount of stress in our mind is going through as we imagine where on earth it could be. OP is sadistic for sure.
Shower
We have so many questions after seeing this and we are sure we want them answered. This is possibly the hottest take we have seen. The fact that OP lived long enough to post this is a matter of marvel.
Scientists should take him in for research (and hopefully never let them into the society again). We are not concerned about the fact that this person possibly has chronic hypothermia. We are more concerned about the fact that they never probably clean themselves.
Spatula
If you have ever seen even a single episode of any anime, you have probably one of these popping veins at least once. It is very common to portray red hot anger like this anime. We are glad to see more people paying homage to anime.
We wonder why that wooden spatula is so ticked off. What did you do, OP? Did you abandon it for a silicon spatula and only picked it up now the other one was dirty. Shame on you. Be more sustainable and use environment-friendly products like wooden spatula.
Ex
As much as we would love to tease this OP for being so down bad, we cannot cross our hearts and say that we have never been in her position. Sometimes that one person comes into your life and you think they are worth forsaking your dignity.
Take it from someone who already lived through this: they are never worth it. As cynical as it sounds, everyone is replaceable—that includes you and your ex. Your ex will likely find someone better than you while you find someone better than them. Spend that $67 on yourself instead.
Lazy
Once again, we are in the difficult position where we would love to judge yet cannot. As professional procrastinators and reincarnations of a panda, we have done things way worse than this. If being a couch potato was a sport, we would have been the world champion.
The OP would have probably been the runner up. The fact that they used the microwave should have been a giveaway sign that they are incredibly lazy. Although we must applaud them for their creativity. No wonder Bill Gates prefers to hire lazy people.
Goat
Usually, we prefer to follow the rules since we are too lazy to break them and possibly face the consequences. However, there must be something magical (possibly witchcraft) about this sign board because it is tempting us to go against our nature.
We do not even know Italian. However, we will take Italian classes just so that we can talk to this goat. We will even use Italian hand gestures if necessary. There must be some secret that this goat knows (probably the secrets of area 51).
???
It has been awhile since the last time we had this profoundly speechless. We do not even know where to look in this photo. There are too many cursed things going on in this shot. Those better be fake money.
Or else, we will cry. This child is casually chopping up bills. Meanwhile, we are wondering whether we can afford 10 cent ramen or not. What is even more concerning are the decapitated heads of infants in the background. Who on earth put those there?
Nutella
Our general rule in life is quite simple. We refuse to trust those who do not obsess over nutella. Only psychopaths and tasteless people do not understand the marvel that is this chocolate spread. This rule of thumb hasn’t failed us this far.
Whoever designed supermarkets was an evil genius. Instead of having an employee fetch you the items, the customers have to grab their groceries themselves. Even adults, it is difficult to follow the grocery list strictly. Can imagine the stress youngsters go through.
GYM
Haters will say that this had been photoshopped. Only people with IQ 200 can tell that OP actually went to the gym (for legal reasons, this is a joke). How shameful of you to judge a person and question their motivation for a fitter body.
Just so you know, eating is also an exercise that helps you burn calories. Think about it: you have to chew through the dry patty of the big mac and endure the stale bread. That must have given your jaw a major workout.
Starbucks
Bryan, kudos for trying. However, sadly it was not enough. The man who can make a starbucks employee spell their name right has not been born yet. There are two requirements to become a Starbucks employee. Firsty, they have to be good looking.
Secondly, they must rank in the bottom tier in spelling bee competitions. Starbucks thrives on weaponizing their incompetence and we are begrudgingly impressed. They do not even have to spend money on advertisements because they get engagement from angry customers who post about their misspelled name on the internet. That’s actually genius.
Lockscreen
Speaking of geniuses, this person undoubtedly has a level 500 IQ. We have seen this post many times on the internet and it will never not be funny. Just looking at it brings a smile to our face. Our bad mood vanishes like Houdini when we see it.
Please let us know where we can meet this man. Just from this lockscreen, we already know he is hilarious and being friends with them will be an honor. He is the guy who you can share a beer with and have the best time together.
Weight
We are not proud of saying this. However, it took us fifteen minutes to figure out what was going on. It only looks like a young man about to board their flight, right. Wrong. We will spare you the suspense. Just look at his feet.
Yes, now you are feeling what we felt. The only other person who can outsmart starbucks and the lockscreen guy is this genius of a man. We are lowkey angry that we did not think of this before. We wasted so much money for extra luggage.
Spiderman
With great powers comes great responsibility. We are happy to report that spiderman always keeps up with their heroic duties, regardless of which part of the multiverse they are in. If they can stop a bullet train with their webs, they can also stop a cake.
It seems that this spider man/woman/person received a bite from a radioactive spider only recently. Maybe that is why they are still a little lousy. Don’t sweat it, spider man/woman/person. Just have some cake and train more.
You Can Do It
Can you though? Can you really do it? Because to us, it seems something went wrong in this picture. This is why we prefer to see the glass half empty. Being a pessimist has its set of cons. However, the perks of it are also endless.
For example, you will never find us in humiliating situations like this because we never had the courage to dive head first into the disasters in the first place. This is just embarrassing. Be like us and incorporate nihilism in your life.
Mug
Are you sick of your roommate who keeps checking out your girlfriend? Do you wish to do something about it without leaving a crime scene that traces back to you? Then give them this owl mug. Then give them this for their next birthday.
Haters may call it a design flaw. However, we prefer to call it a masterpiece. Who needs knives and guns when you have this. Since your roommate was stupid enough to look at your partner, they are also likely stupid enough to stab themselves in the eye.
Haircut
The audacity of men to judge women for applying makeup while adorning nonsense like this on their head baffles us to no end. Men’s fashion is tragic —- there, we said it. They either have simple and traditional attire and haircut.
Or, they wear abysmal things like this. What is this even supposed to be? Is 3 the lucky number of this child? Just get a tattoo of the number when you grow old enough if you are that obsessed with 3.
Pregnancy
Congratulations, congratulations and congratulations. Since, this OP is blessed with triplets, it is only fair we congratulate each. Jokes aside, unfortunately we are just as dumb. There was this one time we ran into a wall because a cat walked past us and we had to deliver our obligatory pssspssp.
We broke our nose and lost our dignity once and for all. We had one brain cell remaining before injury. Now, that’s gone too. The worst thing is that unlike this OP, we are not drunk, nor did we smoke the devil’s lettuce.
Sadistic
There is a special place in hell for people like this and that place is probably Satan’s throne. Satan would not even fight the OP. we are pretty sure they would greet the OP with a bow and a bouquet of flowers.
Remember the “well, I just wanna say I’m a huge fan” meme involving the devil? That is likely going to come true as long as OP is involved. We are highkey scared of this person. However, we already know that if we ever have, this is the person we will go to for advice.
Puzzled
Modern problems require modern solutions. We should work smarter instead of harder. Do not be puzzled (get it? Puzzled? Because it’s a puzzle?). If “big bren” was a person, it would be this OP. we should take lessons from them.
To be fair, the box looked like a horse. The OP’s creation might look somewhat like a deformed donkey. However, we will look past it due to their amazing display of wit. In their defense, donkeys are closely related to horses.
Jordan
Haters will say the OP’s Jordans are fake. This pair is so rare and exclusive that it’s not even a Jordan. This one of a kind pair are Jasons which, in our opinion, are superior to Jordans. Not even NBA players can get their hands on this pair.
OP is currently the envy of the town. If they go to the club wearing this pair, we can guarantee that they will drown in phone numbers from numerous ladies. Besides, jordans is severely overrated. A pair can easily cost you $200.
Drone
We have so many questions and we do not know where to go for the answers. So far we have many scams in our life. Too many, in fact. We shop on Aliexpress after all. However, this still baffled us.
How did they get away with this (assuming this post was not a joke)? Also, why was the OP’s grandma looking to purchase a drone in the first place? There must be more to the story. Was she trying to spy on the neighbors?
Passwords
You already lost in life if you like Weeknd enough to use his album as an username. Do not get us wrong, he is a brilliant artist. Admiring his music is just fine because he truly does make great songs.
However, if you get to the point of idolizing him, then it’s already over for you. Despite being a great musician, he is not the best person to admire (We are not saying this because of his abysmal acting skills). Also, can anyone tell me what site this is? We need it for science.
Say what you want. However, they are not wrong. It really does look like a google doodle. When we first saw this cap, we were immediately hit by deja vu. Yet could not pinpoint where we had seen it prior.
Now it all makes sense. In fact, we would not be too surprised if the manufacturer hit the randomizer button and found the google doodles of each letter to later embroider them on a cap. The fact that it was made by Lacoste is what makes it so shocking.
Amazon
All our lives, we have been taught not to judge the book by its cover. Yet we never seem to learn our lessons. It is comforting to know that we are not the only ones failing to incorporate such a noble view in our life.
The same goes for amazon packages. You can never guess what is actually inside the box until you open it. This reminds us of when our sister played a prank on us by dropping off our lunch in a Victoria’s Secret shopping bag. We received detention that day.
Numbers
We have no idea why this child received a zero. Technically, they are not wrong. The teacher wanted them to locate the smallest digit and they did just that. If they are concerned about small issues like this, they should have numbered the paper differently.
Perhaps, using alphabets was better than using numerical units. It is not the child’s fault they are smarter than the teacher. Besides, it seems they also located the numbers just the way the teachers wanted them. Therefore, this child deserves a 10/10.
Horse
No. Absolutely not. We abhor the fact that our eyes had to see this atrocity. Never have we ever been so envious of Stevie Wonders. That man is lucky that he is blind. There is not enough bleach in our country to cleanse our eyes and soul.
Some may say that this is what happens to our local highschool horse girls after they grow up. As much as we are annoyed by horse girls, we do not think they will sink this low. The one who made this meme should be banished to siberia.
Giraffe
Are you tired of being a short king? Do you wish you could be tall enough to stomp on those who bully you for your pathetic height? In that case, you came to the wrong place because there is nothing we can do for you.
What? Do we look like a doctor to you? You think we’d be here writing listicles if we were in the medical field? We cannot make you tall in real life. However, we can help you while you are dreaming. In your dreamland, you too can be the tallest mammal on earth with bed sheets.
Mona Lisa
This is the only instance where you can use the pickup line “ma’am, do you work at the museum? Because you look like a work of art” and not sound like a complete douchebag (or maybe you are actually a douchebag. In that case, there is no saving you).
Everyone needs a day off — even the most overrated work of art in the world. Yes, you heard us right. We will die on this hill. Don’t even try changing our mind. We are a liberal arts students. We know what we are talking about.
Class
We have fallen victim to these kinds of situations way too many times for our liking. Not only only are we lazy, we are also forgetful (double whammy). You can only imagine how much we hate these kinds of situations.
We have both success and horror stories. We prefer to be alone if we mistakenly go to school on a holiday. If not, we will prefer to spend it with our English teacher because they are the coolest. If we see our math teacher though, we will jump fences to escape him.
Bear
This person has nothing in common with us. Not only are they adventurous enough to climb the mountains, they are also daring enough to climb a bear. First of all, you will never find us in the mountains unless we have been dropped there by an ax murderer.
Secondly, we are running for the hills if we even see a shadow of anything that is not a rabbit (if not, we will play possum). Kudos to this adventurer. We hope they never receive a bear hug from a real bear.
Cat
Cat owners have a reputation for being abysmally uncreative when it comes to naming their cats. Our friend Cecelia who adopted the sweetest black and white kitten ever. Long story shortened: we almost went to prison for aggravated assault because this woman named it Oreo.
It’s fine if you do not care for the breed (usually we say “satan” when someone asks what breed our cat is). However, this cat’s owner somehow topped our friend Cecelia. At least they are better than our sister who named her cat “dog”. She is going to hell, mark our words.
