Poll: Are LOLcats funny? I don't think so.

[IrrelevantTangent]

I highly doubt that so many people enjoy LOLCats purely because it's funny. It's far more likely that they just look at them for the cute kitten/puppy pictures. The captions are just icing on the memetic cake. [sub](And that's the strangest sentence I've said all month, folks)[/sub]

I hate them more than Twilight. (WOW, just WOW, more then twilight? WOW!)

 

[Erana]

I don't give a damn if they're funny or not, but they're a happy thing to be found in the world, so I force myself to enjoy them.

Happiness is a choice, after all.

Some are funny.

Actually, a tiny minority are funny. But mostly not.

Fuck lolcats and everyone who likes them.

Liking them means you're retarded, have a horrible sense of humor, or uhhh both.

 

[Inverse Skies]

I still think they're funny. They're laughs where you don't have to think and can be easily entertained by something that's badly spelt and extremely cute at the same time. I don't mind them at all.

Just because they are stupid doesnt mean they arnt funny,

let me put it this way, LOLcats is funny in a stupid sort of way. every once and awhile I go on there and laugh a bit and ask myself "How do I find this funny?", Then I drink a pint of tequila....and go home.

Depends how intelligent or silly they are.

Like this?

Don't care at all about the captions, but cute cat pics rock. Especially when they're poses or videos of behaviours I've seen my own cat exhibit.

I find a select few funny, some are just ridiculous.

I swear we had this discussion not too long ago. They were funny once, but like most things, when over done, stopped being funny some while back.

Yeah, it's a sensation you get when you hang around here for too long...

 

[Chaos Theory]

Some make you smirk or go Awwww, but the majority are just meh.

Only if you're a cynic, there's often something new in every recycle.

 

[Mardy]

They're all boring, all that I've seen.

 

[Bob_F_It]

In a nutshell, it's a caption competition, except you're the only entrant. They can be pants, and they can be ludicrously funny. It all depends on the imagination of the person who did it.

Whether it's worth the effort is a different factor.

 

[Azulito]

I'm not too keen on them. I was once but it just died down.

I'm more of a demotivational poster person these days.

True, but if you stop looking, you'll never find one. Given the amount of threads we've both read, I'd be astonished if at least half weren't re-hashes.
