I hate how repetitive it usually is. Modern Humor is built around "formats" that are proclaimed as "dead" in just a few days due to the lack of inventiveness with them. I also don't like how much of it attempts to be "cutting edge", from websites like Reddit, where conflicting opinions are censored. I also find many of the people who enjoy it to be underage and not find it exhausting to be "ironic". How long can you be "post-paleo-ironic" and not get mad about it?! It is all getting so tiresome... I wonder if any of you feel the same.
British TV comedy is a good cure for all of the unfunniness in the world, I think.
Maybe you're not tired of Modern Humor, you're tired of twitter jokes that get recirculated on the same handful of websites you happen to check.
There's a lot of things on the internet that I happen to genuinely find humorous and interesting but virtually none of it is from twitter or gets popular on reddit.
i hate what "memes" have become
i long for the days of old
>>5 Same. All modern memes are lazy and unfunny.
Memes died when they got popular.
I was actually just having this conversation the other day, we agreed that modern humor is very shallow, single-serving, and that it's hallmark is almost always some snide insult. That people seemingly only find things funny when it's belittling someone else. It's devolved into nothing more than a Nelson Muntz point-and-laugh simplicity. In other words, the lowest common denominator has gotten even lower. Spontaneous wit has been replaced by boilerplate appeals to this or that demographic.
One place that reflects that very well is late nite television. It's now but unwatchable other than maybe Conan O' Brien, once the young interloper with his lolsorandom style, but now he seems absolutely mature in comparison to the rest. His show is being cut down from an hour to thirty minutes beginning next year. With him out of the picture, probably not so far away, it will be nothing but a nonstop signaling extravaganza with the trite modern mirthmongers.
Reading websites, you mentioned reddit for example, there seems to be only two variants of humor. The former one, and this weird smug 'referencing' if you know what I mean... a variant of virtue signaling only the effort is to appear cultured. Culture signaling. If you have nothing to prove, you won't fit in with people like this, because it's all about self-aggrandizement.

You are absolutely right. The ones I hate especially are the ones that are made by obvious teens who use a 'meme template' to pander to their ideology (weirdly enough usually communism) even though they have no real understanding of the ideology they claim to be "strugglers in the meme war" for. I notice that the majority of these history/ideology memes that are ((sneaked)) into popular templates are by the types who only play strategy games.
This would be unthinkable only 10 years ago.
>Teens who are diehard Hearts of Darkest Defeat Duty Universalis whatever-the-fuck II choose an ideology off of superficial elements such as "I choose this country cause it's super powerful in my game!"
And they somehow pretend that they're being 'cutting-edge' or 'radical' by siding themselves with ideologies that virtually have no place here or in this time.
I absolutely abhore it.
Nobody ITT gets normies
Modern humor is what you get when the generation who unironically laughed at rage comics starts feeling guilty for laughing at stupid shit like rage comics and chuck norris memes and begins coming up with excuses to justify it.
They call it "ironic", but deep down they just genuinely like lolrandom shit.
