Ever since you've taken that introduction to Philosophy in college, you can't stop thinking what life is really all about. I feel you; the same existentialism attacks me after I watch an episode of Bojack Horseman. But there's a way you can tame your inner void, and it's the sense of humor. Instagram account 'Texts From Your Existentialist' totally knows where you're coming from, and the dark jokes are ready to help you cope with melancholy.
April Eileen Henry, a poet from sunny Los Angeles juxtaposes art - mainly, paintings and movie stills - with bleak, sad texts to "bring more messages that speak to the pity party line and the seldom spoken dark humor of life." Scroll down for your daily fix of demotivational quotes, and upvote your favorite images.

and that's why being alone in the comfort of your own company is one of the best things of the world and absolutely under-rated.
for some reason I thought she had headphones on and had removed them to tell us this.
she's not dress up..just a towel over her nakedness

Fun fact: some scholars suggest that the orange/red of the sunsets in Munch's series 'Der Schrei der Natur' was inspired by the world-wide atmospheric effects in the early 1880s that of the dust dispersed by the eruption of Krakatoa. Others think that it was influenced by the presence of a local abbatoir and/or asylum, but from reading letters by Munch the Krakatoa explanation seems to me to be more likely. Either way, he seems to have keen insight into the emotions of pain and/or distress...
I'd come! I'd like to talk to the other voices in my head and their so-called personalities they think they have.
Ma'am, for the 5th time, this is Domino's Pizza, and yes, your order will be with you shortly
well i'd rather it say that on the newspaper than while i'm watching grey's anatomy :))
Your consciousness could probably borrow some of the black bars plastered liberally on this thread - there are enough of them to spare! ;-)
They seem a bit too happy seeing that they are about to fall off a cliff
Maybe you need to find yourself now. Life didn't leave you, she just took a step back and gave you the reins now that you understand. Bring out the life inside you.
So, one day the painter was like : "Hmm... I haven't used red in a while..."
Yeah, that's the kind of thoughts you get when you run out of wine...
Me: "Hello, Doctor..?" Doctor: "You'll be fine, take one of these in the morning and at night. Wear this mask over your face, it's called A Fake Smile, it works for other patients"
One day the endangered species list will probably include us all...
"And they're like, Let's lie down in bed, And never get up all day. You should know this. You do it everyday!"
Why fear death? It's her non existence u should fear. If u become immortal than everything will lose it's taste
i'm not sure if i am too dark for this, this is too dark for me or if for the most part these weren't all that funny. not bad to the point of my time being wasted, but certainly not "hilarious"
They were just "meh." Not witty or surprising...
Load More Replies...Mine too. I feel kinda bad for laughing though. Sorta proves I'm not very deep.

That's sort of the point of it....its dark humor....

But seriously, why oh why is a nipple -- a NIPPLE -- so repugnant that Red Bubble has to defile the classic art of the greatest masters of all time? If people who are offended by nipples get to have it their way, why can't I? It is offensive to me that nipples are considered so horrible, so reprehensible, so utterly disgusting as to make me wonder why they are not simply surgically removed from infant girls at birth. Red Bubble, you are an ART FORUM! Grow up and act like it. Grow a couple! Nipples that is. For they are a far better symbol of courage than testicles ever were.
I really really really really wish that Bored Panda would grow the hell up and start accepting women's breasts as just a natural part of life. Those black bars are utterly insulting. For crissakes! Do they think little boys are going to be printing it out and bringing it to school? GOOD! It's about time they got a decent education.
Here's my dilemma: I remember these feelings. They will gut you without warning or turn you into a stone-person with no hope of rescue. I absolutely support people seeking help and the light at the end of the tunnel wherever they can find it. That being said, this was just desperately sad and I was unable to find much humor at all, dark or otherwise. You know what I would love to see? A post that truly encourages an in-depth, open discussion of how to help, if not solve the problem. But I dream.
the only one that really hit me was the one that said "sleeping is just a dress rehearsal for death".
I have been posting offensive posts all over bored panda, with the #fuckmenbutnotinasexualway. I am going to put myself out there to anyone who wants to contact me in the real world and argue about my fake "feminism". James Lackhill London, England 43 years old JLackhill@gmail.com
I feel so sorry for you! Your mother must have thrown you against a wall when you were a baby. Why do you feel compelled to troll for no reason? My condolences.
