If you enjoyed our publications on the subreddit 'Hmmm' and the Instagram account 'Please Hesitate,' I think you're going to love this one as well.

There's a Facebook page called 'Unusual And Funny Photos' and it provides exactly what the name promises without any context whatsoever.

Since 125,000 people already follow it, we thought you might like scrolling through its wild posts as well. From confusing road markings to creepy toilets, you never know what the next one is. And that's the beauty of it!

The no-context snippets have become so popular that Kathryn VanArendonk, a Vulture critic who mainly covers TV and comedy, tried to get to the bottom of it.

"Images taken from a TV show or movie and combined with a quote are an internet staple from way down deep in the Tumblr-verse, where GIFs and screenshots of beloved pop-culture objects have long been collected into easily shareable digital scrapbooks," she wrote.

However, VanArendonk pointed out that lately, it feels like they busted out of that particular niche and spread across the broader social-media landscape, where they've developed a distinct flavor and found a bigger audience.

"The no-context screenshot is no longer just intended for fans of a show who will love an image precisely for its context. Now, the no-context screenshot has become a deliberate act of yanking a particular moment out from its original framework," she said.

Part of why social media pages like 'Unusual And Funny Photos' are so have such big followings could be simply utility.

"An image is smaller and less finicky than a GIF, [and] it's easy to share across multiple platforms," VanArendonk said.

"It's easy to lift a single image from, say, Neo Yokio and set it off onto the internet, freed from its original framework."

She’s a brick. Couch. She’s mighty, mighty, letting it all hang out. (Admit that you sang it in the comments and make my day brighter, you magnificent bastards).

The incongruity theory can also help us in understanding the phenomenon. It suggests that no-context images disrupt our normal thinking patterns, sparking surprise and amusement.

Such feeds not only capture our attention but also provide a break from all the mundane posts we're used to seeing day in and day out. 'Unusual And Funny Photos' align with our psychological inclination to seek novelty, and capitalizes on it pretty well, if you ask me!

As a Brit, I can confirm that I and anyone else from here would forever be stuck behind that door, queuing in obedience

Probably this is Spiderman's toilet, otherwise the ceiling rolls are useless and hard to change for the normal people.

Could we have some different colours? And, say, the one with crosswords, the one with jokes on, just a bit of variety?

well hopefully there will be some left when you need it, although it must be a pain when you have to refill them all

Please tell me I'm not the only one who would have to make ALL the rolls unwind in the right direction (over the top/dropping down at the front)...

This is just the expectation. The reality is empty cardboard tubes as far as you can reach.

This is not conjoined twins. It’s one woman with her head over the shoulder of her friend, hugging from behind. Accidentally, the effect unfortunately mimics the look of the famous twins, whose names escape me, who had that tv show.

It's better than using an elastic band and less painful taking it off
