We rely on our sight more than on any other sense to help us interpret the world around us. So when we spot something peculiar, we can get very disturbed very fast. But what's life without any peculiarity, confusion, and a dash of uneasiness?
There's a wicked Instagram account called 'Cursed Images' that aims to test our limits. It shares random pictures, provides no context, and leaves us puzzled just because.

Why, you might ask, do you need to see a black cat in a room filled with mushrooms? Or a cursed image of a kid scared of an Obama mask? But why, I counter your question, do we go on roller coaster rides? There's a thrill in not knowing what awaits you. So continue scrolling and brace for the unexpected.

Cursed Images—Where Do They Come From and Why Do We Like Them?

Like the funny cursed images themselves, their tale of origin is a bit nebulous. Of course, if we were to talk about the term, it’s been pinned by the users of image-sharing platforms on the Internet; no surprise there. But as to where the cursed meme images themselves come from, we can only answer this—from the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet where the sun never shines. Or your old family photo album

And why do we like these cursed funny images? It’s not very simple to explain, but each of us has a certain degree of fascination, amusement, and morbid curiosity in us, and all these bizarre pics work very nicely to satisfy the need. In short, these cursed images are incredible in evoking strong emotions in anyone who dares look at them! And who doesn’t like a bit of confusion and bewilderment in their day, right?

On that note, we invite you to keep on scrolling through this latest selection of funny cursed images. But remember that we won’t be responsible for the nightmares they might induce!

I love how annoyed she looks, like she’s been dealing with his fire head shenanigans for far too long.

It's realRealREAL easy to be thin when you're young. If she's at KFC, this is not her 1st fatty[ies] to serve. Kudos to her for working at a joint where she has to smell burning oil all day [I couldn't handle it]. Ho-ho-hope it's a part-time job & she's saving for college so she'll have an excellent career & life!

Actually, the bare feet were not the first thing I noticed. What bugs me is the KFC outfit which looks covered in coffeestains. At lease I hope it is coffeestains... Also the Colonel on the pants looks a bit unhappy.

That's all that's necessary. We've such nasty habits, no discipline, no healthcare for all, no = pay for women; U.S. has 30% of students fail to graduate h.s. [source: America's Promised Alliance (an org chaired by Alma Powell, Colin’s widow)], 40% of undergrads leave univs/colleges p.a. in U.S., &c...Yikes!

It's not his fault. He's been dead since 1980. He didn't design this monstrosity. Why didn't the designer foresee her/his design in size XXXXXXtra large & create a new design for the larger sizes?

I kinda like it. His or her top seems a tad low for that age but they’re also just a child so it’s fine. It’s colorful.

The more you look at it the worse it gets. Why is Santa in the window? Why is the Christmas tree on a broom? Why are only 3 of them wearing shoes? Why is the room almost completely empty?

one time in my sophomore year, my teacher mr. ritchmann "froze" the projector screen so we could see the assignment guidelines while he did something else. Our entire class got to watch him scroll through about 50 or so foot-related livestreas on onlyfans.

This is a mud pit on top of an active volcano in Colombia outside of Cartagena. It’s high in salt so you float and it has no bottom you can reach. These dudes hang out in the mud for tourists and rub you with mud pretending to help them ask for money.
