>>51334410This was never actually humour directly, it was never even meant to be funny at all. The core of this kind of “joke” was actually to be literally fucking irritating and the humour was from the irritation that other people would feel. It was said in mockery of idiot attention whores - I think the whole point of people spilling out shit like “xD rawr MUFFINS” was to over exaggerate and outline a stereotype as some kind of ice breaker of annoyance.
It was never intended to be funny.
Let’s remember that millennial humour was also yo mama jokes and those have basically been reformed into deez nuts and then again into shit like mind goblin. No generation has been better or worse at humour, it’s transformative and with the ability to communicate over social media it’s transforming and branching way more. But it’s all the same shit at the end of the day.
