Until I left Reddit I didn't realize how not funny the comments were.
Also repetitive.
Before entering the sub you could usually predict the top half dozen joke replies, every-time.
And my axe! This! What he said. The narwhal bacons at midnight! Pics or it didn't happen.
The narwhal thing isn’t quite the same, as it very rarely came up and I think was always cringe (at least it was 10 years ago).
100% on the rest, and I throw in “what?” Responded to with the above post in uppercase. That one was fine exactly one time, after the great time it was no longer clever.

This is the only time this comment is acceptable.
I hate you.
Okay, I definitely agree the “meme” jokes and most-frequently-upvoted joke comments were stupid as fuck, but there was definitely some gold on occasion. I think we’re looking at a 1:100 ratio, but those 1’s would crack me up.
The actual original thoughts and reactions. Not the regurgitated “jokes” that were the Reddit in-jokes, but the genuinely funny takes you’d find every so often.
