Each of these images is a bit different from the rest. Each one can make you do a double take, or will take a second or two for you to process. There's something special and compelling beneath the surface here, something way funnier than what we normally see online, and something that doesn't quite fit in with typical meme trends. Humor from /r/HolUp is an advanced sort of humor that keeps you guessing and sticks with you longer than a standard joke, one that subverts your expectations by the end.
