There have been tons of articles written on how millennial humor is too weird to define, but I would argue that there are some things that are funny and you can't explain why.

Lots of times having to explain why something is funny sucks all the joy out of it.

So, instead of me trying to make sense of why these images are just so darn hilarious, I'm going to let the fine folks in this AskReddit post just share the pictures that made them cry with laughter. I think a lot of them will have the same effect on you.
