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

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 1 year ago

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

[-] bort@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

Well that's the whole point I'm making
