I’m not a fan of the pun chains that somehow always ended up at the top of any Reddit comment thread
There could be a post about electricity and one of the top threads will have a joke about Watts, amps, shock, resistance, ohms, and other electric terms. The least they could have done is use Siemens, but it’s always basic wordplay that anyone can think of
And the worst part is that pun threads can be found any post regardless of the gravity of the situation. Titty post? Puns. Mundane news? Puns. A post of an innocent person being wrongly executed by electrocution? Puns.
Everyone thinks they are/wants to be a comedian, and they’d rather post a low quality joke than to add to the discussion or not say anything at all
I thought I was the only joyless curmudgeon who disliked the pun threads! I feel validated by your post and I appreciate it.
I bet, like, the very first pun thread on reddit was spontaneous and reasonably entertaining but then like anything else that got a laugh one time it got suplexed into oblivion almost immediately.
Yea and usually I like funny stuff and I laugh REAAAALLY easily but I got kinda annoyed by the Reddit jokes that are so repetitive and I was like "am i becoming grumpy or smth?" I guess not! lol
That's the biggest problem with Reddit jokes tbh. They don't just beat dead horses, they atomize them.
