"You can use that cupboard over there labelled 'Good French Things'. It's empty."
I read that scientists, by using magnets, had 'turned off' the threat centres in people's brains, and that this made them 'change their attitudes towards immigrants.' Obviously, the stunning revelation that people don't like immigrants because they feel threatened by them is one that will echo down the ages as a revelation made possible only by scientific brilliance, but given that such
One thing I've noticed a lot of around YouTube recently is videos with 'X but Y' titles. You know, things like 'Dragon Ball Z but every time we see people screaming at each other in a desert the video speeds up', or 'Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart but it's a Pokemon boss-battle theme'. With this in mind, is there any chance of seeing 'Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones but every time Hayden
Apparently the British satirical magazine Private Eye is now listed on numerous 'fake news' sites for having covers like this:
This, coupled with the existence of the show Friends, leads me to the conclusion that comedy is a largely unpractised art in the USA.
I've seen the phrase "Don't read it if you don't like it!" written on quite a lot of fanfictions lately. Granted, I've been seeking out the truly awful ones (sorting the chaff from the wheat, as it were) for my personal collection, so that might explain why I've seen so much of it. Read on for my thoughts.
As I've reached 50 followers, here's a thank you video. Well, slideshow with me talking over the top. Don't quibble, Horatio. A lot of this seems to be because Somepony Tries to Sell Twilight Insurance has just been posted on FIMFiction as part of the Royal Canterlot Library collection. I am, understandably, chuffed to bits.
I needed a laugh, so I ran an internet image search for 'funny'. Nothing more than vaguely amusing presented itself. Does anyone know the approximate date on which humans gave up on wit and situational humour and replaced them with captioned images of animals pulling unlikely faces?

While I can't give you an exact date, I would imagine genuine wit and situational humor as the popularity of the internet grew up until the introduction of memes, upon which it spontaneously flatlined, got impatient that the memes weren't killing it fast enough and then slit its own throat before finally succumbing.
Good news is you can still find wit's remains here and there, kind of like artifacts of a forgotten age. It's not coming back, mind you, but it might let you remember.
I would offer a positive spin. I think the Internet provides genuinely funny stuff. The unmemorable stuff you found is just things which, while they can be described as "funny," leave no other impression and cannot be described otherwise. The memorable stuff has lots of other descriptors and doesn't need someone calling it "funny" specifically.
Dunno if that helps. What would you be looking for?
