Which is the funniest post ever??

Just to be clear: Humor is not quantified by the number of laugh emojis something gets, but by the degree of mirth that it provides to someone who gets the joke.

For example, my comment here (lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/who-would-be-my-girlfriend#2) got quite a few laugh emojis, but was it funnier than this (lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/what-is-the-line-between-your-good-and-your-bad#5 )?
In my opinion, no. The first was a low-effort joke which was moderately funny but unoriginal. The latter was a perfect* reference to an unexpected topic.
To quote Schopenhauer, "The greater and more unexpected this incongruity in the apprehension of the person laughing, the more violent will be the laughter".

P.S. Don't ask why I am able to reference specific forum posts.
