This is not funny

I feel like there’s a sense of humor gap in this country, and I tend to fall right through the crack.

In other words, why do people keep forwarding me shit that isn’t funny, and never will be funny? This video, for example, which I was told would make me laugh:

Unambiguously unfunny. As are all the forward my mother sends me, with notes like “This one I thought you’d really like!!!!!” I never like them. Ever.

Humor, at its best, is sly and slick and catches you off guard. It’s subtle. But there’s nothing subtle about the jokes/gags/videos forwarded along the internet. Well, rarely.

Anyhow, that’s my vent of the day.

Shalom.
