Counterpoint: it wasn't funny the first day it was posted.

Counter point: the Internet has created a new definition of what funny means. This new kind of funny is like a kind of nostalgia mixed with groupthink. It's doesn't make anyone laugh, but it's "funny".

I mean, yes, that's what I'm saying. Internet invested a new type of funny that isn't funny.
