The Current State of Humor

Is beginning to trouble me. Everywhere I look (especially on youtube) where humor is presented that requires a little thought, less and less people are understanding it.

For instance, I've seen several places protesting this site:
http://www.puppyprofits.com/

Come on people.
Remember the whole Bonsai Kitten fiasco?

I was watching some funny stuff on youtube that and there's tons of comments displaying total lack of understanding that the content is intended to be humorous.

Discuss if you want.

I blame 4chan, 2chan, /b/ and a lack of people trying to be funny or those trying too hard.

/b/ is a section of 4chan.

And terrible things are very funny. 4chan is merely a congregation of people who take delight in mocking things that society has deemed excluded from mocking due to... well, frankly, due to backwards standards for humour. No, it's not sophisticated or well thought-out, but that's certainly not the point.

And anyways, if you are so quick to blame one party, it's clear you don't understand the humour... which doesn't bother me a bit, it's just too bad for yourself that you don't see the enjoyment in such bullshit behaviour.

i find the odd bit that i've seen from there funny but i think there's too many people who drag it all out so that what began as funny gets not-so.

See, I think the stuff on 4chan is hilarious.
Sure, some people on there don't know when to use a certain meme, but that's very few people.
Take "LOLcats"
99% of the shit on there is NOT funny because people just slap misspelled sentences over random pictures of cats. Not funny. What IS funny is a cat in a funny position with 2 or 3 words. Hence the success of "Invisible Bike" "Monorail Cat" and "I has a blu stufs."

Plus, there's always new memes and stuff being posted on 4chan so it's continually fresh.

The problem with 4chan is people being morons and repeating it all over the internet for, like, 2 years after it started. The fact that most of it you need to be a bit of a internet nerd to get it, doesn't help it neither (I sadly understand everything). But some can be quite funny.

What are we exactly bitching at in this thread, humour in general, or internet humour? Two different things IMO.
