About

Dark Soul's Crazy Hollow, also known as Angry Hollow or Mad Hollow, refers to a reaction GIF and video of a red skeleton or zombie-like character (known as a hollow) sitting on the ground with a sword in his hand while crying very hard and banging the floor, which originally comes from the Dark Souls video game franchise. Online, the clip is typically used in video and GIF caption memes to express a feeling of extreme embarrassment or sadness toward something that happened in the past, as well as to evoke feelings of anguish or suffering.

Origin

The earliest found post of the Crazy Hollow meme was uploaded on Tenor[1] by user pheerie on May 1st, 2020. The GIF (shown below) shows a "hollow," a common enemy from the Dark Souls video games, agonizing in pain with a sword in his hand while crying and hitting the ground — appearing to have lost his mind.

Spread

On February 22nd, 2022, Twitter[2] user PennyMeowy used the video to comment on her sleeping routine that would be abruptly changed when Elden Ring was released. The post (shown below) garnered over 3,200 likes and 529 retweets in a year.

On January 16th, 2021, Redditor[3] u/TreeliasDave posted an HD 60 FPS looped version of the hollow GIF to the subreddit (shown below). The post garnered over 4,400 upvotes and 75 comments in two years.
