We're huge fans of surreal memes. They're unbelievably weird, make little to know sense, and yet are often visually stunning. While we're not gaining any brain cells from perusing memes of this ilk, we may get a bit of brain exercise trying to understand them. We definitely can't say the same for the memes we're generally scrolling through.

The dank memes may not appeal to everyone, but this is definitely a taste of some of the weirder crap you can find on the interwebs.
