The no-context snippets have become so popular that Kathryn VanArendonk, a Vulture critic who mainly covers TV and comedy, tried to get to the bottom of it.

"Images taken from a TV show or movie and combined with a quote are an internet staple from way down deep in the Tumblr-verse, where GIFs and screenshots of beloved pop-culture objects have long been collected into easily shareable digital scrapbooks," she wrote.

However, VanArendonk pointed out that lately, it feels like they busted out of that particular niche and spread across the broader social-media landscape, where they've developed a distinct flavor and found a bigger audience.

"The no-context screenshot is no longer just intended for fans of a show who will love an image precisely for its context. Now, the no-context screenshot has become a deliberate act of yanking a particular moment out from its original framework," she said.

Part of why social media pages like 'Unusual And Funny Photos' are so have such big followings could be simply utility.

"An image is smaller and less finicky than a GIF, [and] it's easy to share across multiple platforms," VanArendonk said.

"It's easy to lift a single image from, say, Neo Yokio and set it off onto the internet, freed from its original framework."
