cursed images: let's get together and pin down the aesthetic!

would like to hear a collection of songs titled "street dildo shoppin'"

are you provided utensils with which to dispatch the smiling dolphin? are you supposed to use your hands? is using your hands forbidden? you shakily raise the glass to your lips. the dolphin smiles.

feels like the punchline to a joke that i can't figure out

it does. raccoon on a trash can. $115. digiorno. must be delivery. no. it's...it's...

the raccoon has its claws on both a digiorno as well as exactly $115 in three crisp bills.

That's a badger!

Yeah, that's no raccoon

more like a cadger if it's charging $115 for a DiGiorno pizza

lol

karl did you really think that was a raccoon

... so the badger says "$115? For a pizza delivery?"
and the pizza delivery guy says "That's not delivery!"

needs some work

i did. i even did a quick image search for "raccoon"

do you see why i left the EPA? i was a fraud

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN PUT A BANANA IN TOMATO JUICE

I'd like to imagine you, emaciated and slack-jawed, sitting before the unrefreshed page and staring in disbelief at smiling dolphin death banana for the past week. That is the very response we're going for here, I believe.

i'm glad i could play a small part in this

a badger for karl

oh laugh it up all you like professor von funnyboy but i guarantee you this is 1000% some elder gods shit. this is the idol tongued by rapist frat boys that gets them into skull and bones. this is the thing in your childhood closet that made those wet suckling noises you were too scared to investigate. when you die and all illusion is torn from from the bare wire of your consciousness this, this abomination, this horror beyond conception is what will be staring back at you. really, i can’t praise it enough. thanks map!

now you're just encouraging me, bad idea, don't think i can ever top smiling dolphin. i got it from 70s dinner party twitter account btw.

Yeah, could they have found a less charming site for that ramp?

aw, the shots of athletes upside down in front of the cooling towers are wonderful though, two of my favourite things together at last

Fine use of the aesthetic here

i realize i'm coloring way outside the lines here but is there not something vaguely menacing about this

We need a separate thread for creepy liminal eighties office photos tbh

Also feel like stuff like the Sedaris cover don't really fit the aesthetic, to be properly cursed there needs to be a quality of low-key horror which is almost accidental and not too obviously posed, maybe?

those plants have really got that guy cornered huh

i like that image

There we go

this loaded giant on my laptop and i thought it was a new gas album at first

*gas joke*

what if the dog has gone mad because it can hear that really high-frequency pitch on every other beat on Der Lange Marsch

that’s the stuff
