There’s no such thing as modern humor. It’s just the same humor in a modern context. Humans are oddly good at thinking they are smarter and better than previous generations. We’re not. We’ve been exactly the same for thousands of years.
I used to work with this super cool dude from Ghana. One day he said “you youngins think you invented comedy, take a listen of this” and it was oldies music twisted to be full of dirty jokes.
It blew my mind, but it also hammered in a fundamental understanding - people are people, always have been. Weird Al is great, but he just continued a timeless tradition
Is this for real or some AI-generated chicanery, because I just don’t know any more? 😩
It’s for real

Some of the oldest jokes we have are fart jokes. Or a confusing one involving a dog walking into a bar.
