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.
TikTok videos enrage me. A short looped clip with blasting music is not entertaining.
 
self deprecating humor
at some point it stopped being funny to me and now i just view the people doing it as sad and pathetic
>Self deprecating humor

I can see what you mean, a huge portion of the people who do that type of humor are the generic twitter furries who are like "haha I'm in maid dress I'm such a huge weirdo" or "haha sex, I'm such a slut" whilst they're some 28 old man living somewhere in New Jersey
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.
There is a big difference between self-deprecating humor and the people who uncomfortably giggle about how fucked up they are.
Ehh, you need to be able to mock yourself. Having a stick up your ass and treating everything about you as Serious Business is lolcowish behavior.
 
Self Depreciation : I'm a lazy ass bastard, so lazy I got fat! Funny huh?

Self Depreciating Humor : I'm so lazy, I don't even exercise caution.

There's a difference, and too many people don' realize that just calling yourself a loser isn't funny all by itself.

Look at Boogie2988 for a perfect example.
 
Fake: Gay is something of a dumb meme, but it has its uses.
This meme is fake and gay.

Also, for me basically anything post-2015. It went to shit when autistic teenagers and phoneposters in general became of enough prominence to fuck up the internet.

Anything related to SiIvaGunner, repurposing of actually good ancient memes into the modern era which ruins their old legacy, those spazzy-arsed Discord bot generated macros/GIFs, stuff that is supposed to be funny because it's not, stuff that is just a meme "because it's popular and repeated" (which defies the very definition of what makes a meme a meme), and Touhou fumos* bug me more anything. Probably in part due to the fact these memes not only help upstream people into troon culture but because the people who make these and like these are often complete fucking cunts.

* It pisses me off even more that I actually think these are really cute, but most people who make memes around them just have a horrible aura around them and often are part of the retro tech troon rat king. (Oh well, I have a plushie of Purple Heart from Hyperdimension Neptunia and it didn't cost £200 lol)

Almost all the memes on this chart, pick your Cancer!!
 
Minion memes still make the rounds on FB, moreso from people trying to be "ironic" than people posting them because they find them funny. I don't particularly care about irony; they are fucking cringe-inducing regardless of why they exist. I can't believe no one said that yet. Too easy?

Oh, and "OK boomer" and "Karen!" is annoying as well. It was funny and relatable like twice, but it can stop now.
 
The fact that [Insert patently stupid or just flat out insult with no cleverness or humor behind it] and ending it with "It's just a joke, yur jus triggurd n have no sense of humor" is still a thing.

I want effort put into comedy again, gawdammit.
 
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.

Also when women stand up comics make period jokes. Yes, I'm aware how disgusting they are, yet I don't talk about it to tons of strangers.

On that track, how has women talking about sex in a crude way not been brought up yet? See: Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman

Related: cute animated characters swearing and talking about/doing gross sex acts.

Neither of these things are acceptable substitutes for a punchline.
 
The Libertarian/whatthefuckever memes. You know the ones. The ones with a four pointed star and everyone is listed according to politics or some shit. Usually with wojacks, combining two intensely aggravating memes together.

Also the virgin/chad thing. Fuck that shit.
 
El Risitas.

That video was unfunny to begin with and I don't really get why it became popular years later.

His stupid, punchable, face is literally plastered everywhere as an emoji, which is rather annoying.
 
“ratio”
”yb better”
”you fell off”


I see this on Twitter and every time I think it’s a grown adult masquerading as a child trying to use Generation Z slang.
 
"69 nice" memes. How can people still find it funny after seeing it the 100th time?

Part of me thinks it's less about finding it funny and more about showing everyone how quirky & wacky you are.
