This was top comedy in ancient times.

Counterpoint: it wasn't funny the first day it was posted.

Delete your comment, you're telling on the zoomers

It maybe would be mildly funny if it was real (at least Bieber and Psy).

Counter point: the Internet has created a new definition of what funny means. This new kind of funny is like a kind of nostalgia mixed with groupthink. It's doesn't make anyone laugh, but it's "funny".

memes have always been like this.

find me a meme that will be funny in 10 years

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, yes, that's what I'm saying. Internet invested a new type of funny that isn't funny.

are you saying jokes in the 80s (70s,60s,etc) were better?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Didn't say anything about better or worse, but someone from the 80s would not find memes funny. You need to be a meme connoisseur to appreciate most memes. Even among my friends very few understand the shit posts you folks post.

I'm from the 80s and I enjoy quite a lot of memes. We invented them (probably), us people from the 80s, you know.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dude. You're not from the 80s. You're from today. I mean if you brought someone from the 80s to today.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah, like Back to the Future or Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I think they'd still enjoy the memes, if you gave them a chance to see some of the reference material for the in-jokes.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

Well that's the whole point I'm making
