Interesting, one of my least favorite things about reddit was all of the low-effort joke replies. I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing another pun.
Over obsessing with puns is a recognised psychological issue…
At school, I remember the time I was jealous of our ‘class clown’ who was genuinely pretty hilarious every time he opened his mouth and extremely popular (especially with the girls). The worst thing to do is to try to emulate that (go home, study a ton of jokes… I’m sure everyone did that at some stage).
I think one of the lessons I worked hard to teach my son is that you shouldn’t make an effort to be funny, because that’s mostly just four-king annoying. Since then, his jokes come less frequently - but with higher hit-rates.
But for sure, Reddit seems to have an average mentality of 6 to 12.
The worst trap to get into is to try to make jokes about unemployed people - because they never work.
