What happens when you mix a teaspoon of innocent first world anarchy with cringey people of the internet? They're called mad lads. A mad lad, or madlad, is defined as follows by Know Your Meme: “Mad Lad , also spelled Madlad , is a slang term that is used to describe someone doing something that is crazy and unexpected, but can also be used in a sarcastic manner for someone doing something that is not hard to do or crazy — sharing similarities to the lol so random meme.

Dark humor at its finest

When I was a kid I used to sit in my basement and watch the same damn movies over and over again. Pocahontas, Wild America, Independence Day, The Goonies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). It's true that we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading "track00…

Twitter is a wild place. For one, it can be an incredibly toxic place. The anonymity that the internet provides is something of a blanket to sinister types who live to antagonize strangers.

Dark humor to suit the dark ages

According to a lot of people, journalism has either been dead or dying for years. Its demise is discussed all over the Internet, which is coincidentally thought of as the force behind that very same demise. While we don't appreciate the clickbaity direction that many formerly reputable news giants have taken, there is some humor to be found in the descent into traffic-minded garbage. While subreddits like r/nottheonion or r/FloridaMan have been covering crazy headlines for quite a while, in the…
