I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

    That’s just Zoomer humor. It has nothing to do with Reddit. Memes on tiktok/insta are the same thing. The same joke over and over (that’s not even “funny” in the traditional sense) repeated so much that it’s funny.

      That has been literally all internet humor since the dawn if the internet.

      All your base are belong to us, nyancat, GGG, advice animals, roflcopter, it’s a trap, badger mushroom, everything.

      Internet humor literally relies on enough regurgitation to be a huge inside joke.

      I mean, before that it was pretty much “I hate my wife” humor and dirty jokes for half of a century, so even if the dead horse is being made into applesauce, it still might be a step up.

        I know it’s not the conversation we’re having, but nothing makes me hate anti-LGBTQIA+ folk quite like the “I hate my wife” shtick.

        “GAYS ARE RUINING MARRAIGE” My brother in Christ, just yesterday I heard you joke about finding your wife a pair of concrete shoes. You did perfectly well destroying the concept of marriage all on your own.

          Whenever I think of these “jokes” as a Gen Z I think of an ungrateful joe who got to date and marry and hates his wife. Doing these in 2023 year of our lord without being burned is a miracle.

          To go further off topic, LGBT+ folks have my full support but can y’all please stop adding to the acronym?

          I thought the ‘q’ was supposed to be an umbrella for everyone else, then there was a plus that’s definitely for that purpose, yet somehow more letters still seem to get added every few years

          The next time a boomer co-worker comes up and passive-aggressively asks me, “what’s this new letter I just found,” with a grin like this exposes how dumb the whole community really is, I swear I’m going to throw them out a window

          I don’t want to go to prison, please stop adding letters so they will stop talking to me

      No it isn’t. They were wearing diapers when Redditors were making “This guy X” jokes or broken arms jokes, or pun chains ad nauseam. Stop making this another example of “It’s those darn kids” when every generation is guilty of being corny as fuck.

      I don’t think it’s just zoomers. One of the most annoying things that older generations do is quote movies and old commercials for no reason. Don’t forget “whassuuuuuuuuuup”

      I’ve had countless millennials quote star wars, mean girls, napoleon dynamite, the godfather, and you don’t even want to know how many shitty joker impressions i’ve heard.

      I think it’s just a human thing to do and if you weren’t there, it’s kinda cringe and not funny.

      That being said, I always found the reddit comments annoying asf lmao
