These no context screenshots often go viral on social media simply because fans love reliving a moment, or because they can perfectly be turned into memes that are relevant to real world scenarios. One example of this was when the creator of No Context Succession on X posted a screenshot of the character Tom saying, “What a weird family,” as a reaction to Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in March of 2022.

If you’re wondering what makes for the perfect cursed image that you’ll want to respond to with a “chef’s kiss,” Már Másson Maack atThe Next Webhas broken down some of the tried and true ways of nailing cursed image photography. First, he mentions the idea of defamiliarization, or presenting common things in an uncommon way. Putting food in the toilet or a dog in the driver’s seat of a car might be a couple of ways to hit this mark.

Lighting is also a very powerful tool in photography, and flash photography in particular tends to be very unforgiving to subjects. A bright flash might cause the photo to have more of a “film” look, which can also give the illusion that the picture is from the past or capturing something that was supposed to be hidden in the dark. Play around with lighting to see how cursed you can make objects or subjects appear.

Another idea Maack suggests for creating a cursed image is to recast food as a “reminder of mortality and lack of agency.” He explains that unappealing images of food can cause a visceral reaction if we’re disgusted, but they can also remind us that weneedfood to survive.“Food crosses the boundaries of our bodies and we’re sickeningly dependent on it, reminding us we’re never fully in control of our surroundings or an independent force in this world,” Maack explains. “It also shines a light on how ashamed we are of our bodily functions (probably some Freudian [stuff]) as they poke a hole in the lie we constantly tell ourselves that we’re completely cerebral beings, above the filthiness surrounding the lives of animals.”

No matter what kind of cursed images you enjoy the most, or the least, there’s always going to be something that will grab your attention. Perhaps an image of a cat running through the night with seemingly glowing eyes will leave you lying awake tonight, or a photo of toes holding a soup spoon will make you less interested in your lunch tomorrow afternoon. But I’m sure you can find something on this list that you can’t look away from, whether you want to understand the photo or not.
