35 Hilarious Posts That Are Oddly Specific

These take the saying “There is a grain of truth in every joke" maybe too literally?

There is a popular belief in the old adage “There is a grain of truth in every joke,” or “A joke is a truth wrapped in a smile.” Famed Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud suggested that jokes actually were true.

According to Freud, these joke-truths were to serve one of two purposes, aggression (such as sarcasm) or to expose an unconscious desire (sexual jokes, which, of COURSE, Freud found a connection to jokes and sex). But is there really any truth in every joke?

It’s a debated question in the psychology world, and in everyday life. People will point out the obvious, that if someone is making a joke at your expense, they must have some preconceived thought or truth about you to inspire such a jab.

However, there are some really asinine, obtuse, or just outright bonkers that could be difficult to link any truth to. For any sort of example, you can turn to the trusty internet and its users to deliver.

It's a well-accepted fact that the internet is rife with hilarious posts at our fingertips, some are obviously just silliness, while others are really oddly specific. You know the ones, where deep down you’re kind of worried about the person who told it.

Those happen to be some of my favorite jokes. If jokes really do have some truth behind them, then these posts we’ve collected have a whole new dark side to them.

Oddly specific jokes or "theoretical" questions and stories are quite the niche genre of humor. Did any resonate with you?
