      There used to be a subreddit on Reddit just for screenshots that had something like that as the final bit. As if we need to be told that others thought it was funny or else it wouldn’t be funny or seen as possibly being funny.

        You may be thinking of r/ComedyHomicide. It captures examples of when needless captions and reactions dimish the humor in something. Humor is subjective of course, so you also had stuff like r/ComedyNecrophilia, for when a dumb reply enhances it in some way.

    So… Millennials had their own “blurry stock photo of lemons” humor when they were young. Absurdism is valuable to every age range.

      “When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

      Quote for people who hate YouTube videos for a single paragraph of information.
