Does anyone else think the "Burn your house down..." joke is COMPLETELY played out?

Or am I the only one?

Edit: In reponse to Lobali's call for a new joke I submit this...

Knock Knock

"Who's there?"

"It's the fucking postman and I've got yo drugs nigga!!!"

I'm drunk so that's the best I can do. I have faith you guys can come up with something better. GET TO IT!

Thank you! I couldn't agree more.

I mean, sure, it was a little funny at first. It wasn't exactly the most original thing ever, so it probably should have died off much more quickly than it did. It surprises me how this community has fun with it for so long, too. We have so many really funny, really clever people here that I can't quite figure out how something so "eh" stuck like it did. You'd think someone would have come up with something actually-hysterical for people to use, not this one.

The amount that this joke is played out is actually COMPLETELYx1034. (Yes, I do think so.)

25 year olds don't see jokes the same way 20 year olds do, unfortunately.

And if you frequent the main subs, I will say 20 year olds don't see jokes the same way 14 year olds do.

Maybe the mods could post a list of acceptable jokes every month, and anyone who posts a joke not on the list could be directed to the new subreddit r/DarkNetMarketJokesNOOBS?

Yes it is, but it still sometimes makes me laugh. Part of reddits beauty is that the informative posts are punctuated by silly and irreverent posts, I think it makes the tone a little lighter, if all posts were dry and factual it becomes less fun. But yes it's been done to death, so my only complaint is we should try to be more inventive.

I basically do not like when anything catches on for more than like a minute, dude. Be original for a change. I always think these dudes would be the worst collaborators. Nothing but the same shit over and over, and each one thinks its hilarious. Most of the time i see shit like that i am compelled to think it is a teenager or something. Idk

When do you see this used?


[1 Points] hdheuud:

It has really irritated me since day one


[1 Points] None:

I think the joke exists because there are situations where one would actually have to take the advice semi-literally and we try to laugh that off in the face of the fact of the danger we put ourselves in (as we boldly discuss our fav MMORPG Silkroad Online)

Not really I don't put much thought into it and the .5 seconds it takes for me to read the words and scroll down isn't enough to bother me, and if it bothers you than I feel sorry.

Yes. The sarcastic assholes can GTFO.
