Most reddit bots are pointless or annoying, there's some funny as fuck ones like that translator one that destroys people's posts via google translate and that's about it, ones like profanity counter or "is OP (insert race here)?" is low quality comedy.
 
I have grown weary of templates used for "memes" and tumblr-style humor ("When this happens" followed by a reaction image)

Plus, the following template you now see on almost every video.

X: *Set-up for the joke* (ex: We have this thing at home, we're gonna fingerpaint tonight)
Y: *punchline* (ex: Thing at home:, The kid named paint)
Z: MM:SS of a video that serves as the punchline
 
The "adulting is hard" trend that is mostly dead now.
No. Adulting is not hard. It's you who suck. Stop insisting that you need asspats for basic grownup behavior.
 
"Be gay, do crime." 85% of the people chanting this aren't even gay and the closest they've probably gotten to committing a crime is thinking about doing it.
 
"that's what she said" is probably the lowest effort joke also, the dumbest and hardly ever actually funny. The only thing worse than that joke is the follow up "not with her mouth full" which is somehow dumber.
 
People thinking stand up is just an opportunity to rant about your politics or your life in general.

I don't even know why, but I tried watching Ilana Glazer's Amazon Prime stand up special and it was horrible, all she does is rant, in particular ranting about how great it is that people aren't forced into gender norms anymore, no real attempts at jokes or being funny, the audience did more clapping than laughing.

Laugh tracks were the trend I hated but thankfully they have died out. So many good comedy shows that would have been better without them.

That being said, I'd love to see special versions of TV shows with the laugh tracks completely unimplemented. Those edits of Big Bang Theory without them are surreal.

Oh man. I used to make tons of self-deprecating jokes, until I realized that they make people view me not as a bold and humorous guy who can laugh at his shortcomings, but as a fucking loser.

The inverse, acting cocky, actually works surprisingly well, and only pisses off the kind of people who deserve to get pissed off.

The only person ever to do that well was George Carlin and it was more about watching him rant about random stuff in a funny old man way not about him making any grand political point.
 
I just hate the fact that every piece of media nowadays has to be stuffed with quips. Marvel movies ruined a whole generation of media .
 
With some exceptions, I’m sick of seeing Wojack and its spin offs. I hate the aesthetic. Least rage comics didn’t sear my retinas.

Also don’t care much for the modern versions of the doge meme. Just let it die already. (Not the dog himself, he’s cute)
 
"nobody:
absolutely no one:
not a single soul:
not even josh moon:"
I don't see them as often anymore but this meme format used to be everywhere. sometimes it didn't even make sense and was used incorrectly
 
"If only you knew how bad things really are" stopped being funny after the second time I saw it. It's so low effort and used all too often in horrorcow or grosscow threads.
 
If it's popular on Reddit or Twitter, I hate it.

Jokes about current events lose steam in a heartbeat.

Nerd humor and endless pop culture references need to fucking burn.
 
Oh, thought of another one.

I hate the modern day format of short-form video clip memes, especially when they all stick to the same formulaic nonsense ad nauseum. And the fact that people have gotten either really bad and/or really lazy with their musical punchlines for said video memes.

A part of me acknowledges that the "old" Vine stuff really wasn't that different in terms of format, and yet I can't help but feel that it was still somehow of better quality than a lot of what's been pushed out for the last few years now. Could just me being full on "NEW THING BAD, OLD THING GOOD" when it was probably never good in the first place, but I still found (and find, when I go back to watch old Vine compilations) more entertaining.
 
This collosal faggot who just reads zoomer tweets and fake laughs at the end and probably makes seven figures a year for it.
