This was top comedy in ancient times.

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

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

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

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.

Dude. You're not from the 80s. You're from today. I mean if you brought someone from the 80s to today.

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.

its not funny ha ha or funny weird.. its funny baaa. sheep reminiscing about when the grass was green and the wolves weren't visible.
