It's all about jokes, funny pics...

Maybe I simply don't get it, or I'm too old, but if I find anything funny about that, to me that's kind of boring lowlevel fun of four years old *cough*
My kind of fun is more (political) incorrect. Good humor IS always incorrect. Otherwise you don't get a real punch line. Because a punch line is the trap wire you stumble over an association. If the association is correct, there is no wire. But of course you need some education and maturity to deal with it right, at least to not take it for real but to understand it's meant to be wrong, being: irony, sarcasm, cynicism.

Heh, I didn't really think about what makes stuff funny, but that description reminded me of this from KOTH :p

That actually made me chuckle.
I gave humor a lot of thoughts for many years, and I could link a video, which explains it actually scientifically - alas, in german only. (Analyzing why humor is funny ain't that funny as being humorous - but I bet you already got that yourself *cough*)
Instead I prefer to be humorous, and watch jokes.
Long story short:
I hate to explain jokes.
I love to laugh.

Christina Koch has officially become the farthest any woman has ever traveled from the kitchen.

The astronaut flew away hundreds of thousands of miles away from a kitchen - and made a record. Christina Koch is participating in the moon mission Artemis II and is now located about 203,000 miles away from the planet. That is the maximum distance between a woman and a kitchen in the entire history of womankind.
 
I don't know if anyone saw Saturday Night Live with Oliva Rodrigo as the host over the weekend. But there was a somewhat slapsticky sketch, sort of a goof on Dynasty and other night soap operas, and it had me laughing, even on rewatch. It's a skit, a little over 5 minutes in length. I don't know if my laughing at it makes me a bad person or just a silly one. I'll choose the latter.

As I said, it's a 5 minute sketch, but goes along quickly.

Currently my need for even more comedy from the land of the funny is pretty limited. Sorry, but I already have way more than enough laughs than I can deal with when I drive to the filling station or see the news. Very funny, what this chief clown intern, his holiness of tasteful comedy, Harvard professor for different ways in new mathematics, mastermind in economics, congenial business administration consultant, contruction giant, casino operator, thought leader in creative future design, role model for sensitive international diplomatics, trust builder, friendship deepener, woman's man, second most greatest army commander ever, peace noble prize laureate, pulitzer prize claimant, mastermind of baccarat, contract bridge and other complex card games and mulligan golfer delivers daily.
 
To be serious, in a joke thread, I think that the news, daily, is so bad, that right now, I need total silliness like the SNL skit I posted above. Chief clown. That's a nicer title than many I've heard, and as accurate as any. As we haven't said who we're talking about, I guess it can't be considered political. Unlike a politician when confronted with what someone had wrote, saying they were against the rapist, pedophile and some other insulting terms, automatically assumed it was about them.

But sometimes, something silly to the point of absurdity is all that I can laugh at. In the skit I linked above, by the 3rd time, you know what's going to happen and it's still funny. (Even by the second time, you know.)
 
Yeah, you are right scottro.
The point is, apart from having a political discussion, which is not wanted here for a very good reason, and what is not happening, you can do make some more or less critical jokes without using names, while everybody knows exactly who or what's meant. Such things you learn when your country once was not free.
My wife regulary desponds on using political caricatures from the late 19th and early 20th century in history class. One need some knowledge to get those. Just having fun by watching YT videos about some one falling flat on the face does not teach one that.
Just half an hour ago I saw on the infotainment screen in the bus I rode I can add another title: iron man.
As I said: he delivers reliably daily - one joke after the other. What a light-hearted, funny country that must be.

And, yes of course I've seen the video. Funny indeed. Seems to me more british style of humor. Reminds me a bit of Monty Python in the 70s.
 
It's from a a site called boredpanda, which has a lot of things (that I never bother to look at) with titles like, If you think you're smart, see if you can solve these or If you recognize all these song titles you really know your music, etc. So, the subject line of know your history was probably their usual sloppy or maybe ai generated title. It's based, I think, on the distracted boyfriend meme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distracted_boyfriend

ah.. I know the "distracted boyfriend" meme and usually they are immediate to understand, and rather funny. Reddit is full of them. But, this in particular was a little puzzling and not direct at all, so I were curios. Now you cited also the source, and this make sense. It is 50% a joke, and 50% a quiz.
