The Unofficial Anti-Humor Thread

I secretly hoped that there was some subtle level on which they're actually really funny, and that I just picked up on it subconsciously.

Because it's direct humour, not anti-humour.

But they're so obvious they shouldn't be funny. The joke is that moths really like lamps. Hah. So funny.

Maybe:

AntiHumor ÷ ∅ = High-larity

So it's an actual joke, not a non-joke presented as a joke i.e. anti-humour.

Ant-Humor example:

When fighting a member of ICP (Clowns), always go for the Juggalo (Juggler).

Moth memes are ****ty observational humor (really shallow observations at that) that people try to slather in irony to make it seem funnier when in reality it's on the same level as image macros of the late 2000's.

So like, still funny?

The best month meme so far is the lighthouse and the captain.
