Hello Bored Panda! I'm Rusty Epstein, and I write Depressing Fridge Poems.

What started as a one-off joke to see which of our friends could make the saddest poem out of those silly little word magnets eventually (and accidentally) spiraled into a fascination with how our brains turn misery into comedy. It turns out there are lots of sad people out there—myself included—and my goal became to twist that melancholy into as much laughter as I possibly could.

See, some people face sadness by listening to sad music and staring out the window, relishing the rain. Others scream into a pillow, then down half a gallon of Häagen-Dazs. Then there’s us, the people who take sadness out behind the school, pants it, then stand there in a circle, pointing and laughing.

You know, normal people.

This is the result of seven years of sad fridge comedy. I hope you enjoy!
