I don't know what it is, but the lamest humor on CP seems to be the most repeated. Why is that?

There's actually some really funny posters here, guys like MrMastadonFarm, CrazyBaconLegs, fotze etc, that all have pretty funny posts in a wide variety of threads. and you would think everyone would be trying to replicate their humor (I know a lot of my posts end up sounding like MMF when someone says something stupid/pisses me off).

But for some reason it's "You can get to downtown from Airdire in 15 minutes!" and "They signed him for his truculence! hahahahaha" that end up getting repeated by the masses, and as a comedy lover, it's just kills me to read.

The remedial humor level of certain posters, (I won't name names) is just baffling. I always try to picture what these guys are like in real life. Then last week at work some guy talked about how the Flames need more truculence! and laughed out loud after he said it.

He also is very self-unaware about his humor and is constantly making Rob Ford jokes and has Charlie Sheen's voice saying "winning!" as his phone's ringtone. It was then that I realized CP probably just has a bunch of self -unaware, nerdy type posters who genuinely think it's funny to type and read hundreds of truculence jokes.

Remedial comedy sucks, but we're stuck with lots of it here. Oh well.
