How not to be painfully unfunny

I understand that many people who post in the lichess forums are younger than I am, and am well aware that humor is largely subjective.

That being said, you people (with precious few exceptions) need to raise your game when it comes to being funny, because the slightest glance at many of your current “jokes” are causing my soul to shrivel up and die. Some general tips:

—Moderation is key: Over half of the forum posts I see these days are sad, desperate attempts at jokes, loosely related to a sincere original post. It’s like reading a freakin’ transcript for a failed German comedy tryout.
—Creativity is important: Let rickrolls go the way of the Budweiser frogs. Avoid the urge to use random memes. And for fuck’s sake, don’t copy someone else’s joke and paste it in the same thread.

Obviously, there’s more to being funny than those two tips, but I’m hoping to at least raise the bar to Friends level humor with this PSA.
I agree completely.I personally find clever word play funny,double entendres,puns, malapropisms and really anything original.I like the unexpected twist also.
