Death

There's been a lot of talk about Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winning Parasite, but this true and incredibly disturbing story kind of trumps it. Horror writer Grady Hendrix shared a chilling tale back in October about innocent food-sneaking gone incredibly wrong. Kids are known for sneaking around, and one night when Hendrix intended to sneak-eat his family's leftovers, he discovered a strange man in his kitchen consuming the contents of the family fridge. It doesn't stop there. His family didn't believe him, but later, some disturbing proof of his "run-in" comes to light. And we are not envious of the experience. 

Warning: The following memes are not wholesome and happy. While some of them feature your run of the mill relatable humor, many of them center around how life, well, kinda sucks. But if you're looking to laugh through the pains of depression, anxiety, and general self-loathing, you'll definitely enjoy these bleak and understandable memes. 

Covid-19 has probably changed the lives of most people in the United States at this point. With cases going up every day, the CDC - and most government officials - have been urging citizens to opt out of large family Thanksgivings and stick to celebrating with the people we already live with. While it's pretty clear that having a big family get-together, some people have been very vocal about how they're not about to let fear win. And according to airline records, millions of Americans have decided to travel against the CDC's advice. There are, however, many meme makers and Twitter users who are actually celebrating the opportunity to skip the often obligatory holiday for once. The ability to mute ones more annoying relatives on Zoom makes it all sound worthwhile. To celebrate this century's bleakest Thanksgiving, we've put together this gallery of memes and tweets that truly, well, say it all. And while we're enjoying laughing about the madness, we truly do wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Stay healthy, y'all. 

The process of scattering a loved ones ashes is generally pretty sacred and emotional. Today, we've learned that's not always the case. A desperate (and desperately amused) individual took to Facebook to beg for advice on how to dispose of her father's ashes after her mother informed her that his remains had completely solidified into a brick of human ash. After OP's mother had to take a CHISEL to said brick, they decided to avoid their unusual plight by asking the internet for advice. The commenters delivered something, but a whole lot more comedy than wisdom. And we're honestly more than okay with that.

You ever just feel yourself getting overwhelmed by, uhh, everything? Well, guess what? You're definitely not alone. Whether your anxiety is getting the better of you, or you've become completely disillusioned by adulthood, chances are these self-deprecating memes will resonate with you. 

While the living may have a say in their funeral plans before they die, the truth is that they're more for their loved ones who are grieving. Unfortunately, sometimes those people cannot be trusted to behave appropriately at what is supposed to be a respectful and somber affair. Redditor u/Bankrupt-R-Us has provided us with ample proof after soliciting r/AskReddit for some serious funeral horror stories. These shameful tales are filled with sorrow, cringe, and most importantly: reminders that you shouldn't be an asshole during intensely personal and painful moments. 

Most depictions of the Grim Reaper (or Death, if you will) are pretty, well, grim. Which is to be expected when dealing with manners of mortality. Pink Reaper Comics toss that dark persona in the garbage, and dress it up - in pink. The comics are a brilliant mix of cute, funny, and feels-inducing. A lethal combination for any internet time-waster with a love for webtoons. If you like what you see, give 'em a follow on Instagram.

For just over two years, Michael of Light Roast Comics has been blessing the internet with his spicy and twist-turning comics. They look cute and innocent, but many of them are actually deliciously dark by the time you reach the final panal. They're perfect for anyone who loves web comics but is bored by predictable humor and fluff. We've put together some of our favorite grim Light Roast panels, but if you're craving more head over to Michael's Instagram. It's updated way more frequently than the official site, and makes for a really good follow.

Twitter is a lot of things: a hub for political rants and raves, a sounding board for comedians, and a great way to keep up with current events and gossip. And as Twitter user @sixthformpoet displays in this classic thread, it's also a fabulous medium for storytellers who deserve their voices to be heard. This three part tale has it all: sadness, serendipitous romance, humor, and even some serious life lessons. And we're willing to bet you'll want more when you reach the end.

Damn, of all the things you could and should fake your own death for, LulaRoe apparel is not one of them. 

If you're not familiar with the pyramid scheme that is LulaRoe, then first of all, you're a lucky bastard. But in all seriousness, we've got you covered with copious examples of total LulaRoe fails.

In this wild ride of a story, a woman named Jennifer was apparently really desperate for a free LulaRoe dress called an  "Amelia." So desperate, in fact, that she felt it appropriate to fake her own death in a Facebook group and get caught up in a whole web of lies. Yeah, we're confused about it too...

As we get closer to Halloween, it's fun to indulge in all that spooky content. These comics from War and Peas definitely fit that bill. The comics follow Death (The Grim Reaper) as he goes about daily life and his, um, work commitments. The result is an irreverent and clever spin on a character we're supposed to fear. If you like what you see, show 'em some love on Instagram or Patreon.

Need a good cry or just hate yourself? These super sad and one hundred percent depressing memes and comics will sink you lower than you ever thought possible. 

These spicy memes probably won't send you to hell, but they'd definitely make some people pretty uncomfortable! From Jesus jokes to stuff that looks a whole lot like a penis, this batch of memes is sure to satisfy anyone who is feeling just a little bit evil.
