Meet the Weird Memes Facebook Group

With an impressive 2.1 million users, the “Weird Meme” Facebook page describes itself simply as “a wholesome group for weirdness.” While the images are unusual, they aim to be entertaining and pique your curiosity, not leave you feeling “cursed,” which is an entirely separate subgenre of content from the weird but funny memes presented here. 

“Weird” is, like so many things, in the eye of the beholder, but one might be hard-pressed to scroll through the images listed here and quickly label them as commonplace. If these funny, unhinged memes accurately and effectively describe your everyday life, feel free to contact us so we can interview you. Regardless, it doesn’t hurt to have something a little out of the ordinary to spice up one’s life.

The amount of different kinds of internet content tends to outstrip our ability to describe it. We already have the aforementioned “cursed” images, as well as its more positive cousin, the “blessed” image, but did you know that there is a holy/unholy amalgamation, the “blursed” image? These are, in theory, weird memes that make you feel multiple things at the same time, hence the combination name.

As dramatic as these terms may sound, there is a real scientific link between certain stimuli in an image and a physiological reaction. Scientists believe that seeing unexpected or funny weird memes triggers a part of the brain to warn us about imminent danger. Like Spiderman’s spidey sense, this creates goosebumps, so if you are scrolling through and feeling uneasy, don’t fret; your brain is just doing its best to protect you from these unhinged memes.
