          What I find odd is how people feel the need to comment on things they dislike.

          Like sure I’ll comment on something I don’t agree with, but as for likes and dislikes then I’ll just walk on by. Like I don’t like anime, not that I dislike it, just it’s not my thing. But I don’t need to comment on all the anime posts I see saying this is dumb as people might find some of things I enjoy dumb

        It doesn’t even make what I said invalid.

        People really do think they’re comedic geniuses

          It’s not so much that they think they are funny, more the absolute build up. It’s presumptuous.

          Saying things like “you might need to sit down” sets up the line for disappointment. There’s no way it can be as funny as it promises.

          The pun is sound, but the hyperbolic framing let’s it down.

          And if it was so funny your legs go weak, then it doesn’t need the build up in the first place.

          I think this type of social media framing belongs in the same category as videos that have text all over them saying “wait until the end!!!”. The video loops around and you think, “what did I miss, was that what we were all waiting for?”
