Iam "Oh! Remember? I just recalled that one a couple of days ago. So, we live in a world in which exactly 1 superpower exists. Influence. The ability to control the horde. Like Purple-Man from Marvel."
Hym "And all of the little clumps of Rat-Kings all use either guilt or ridicule to manage the horde. Because that is their greatest fear. The man who's ability to accrue influence surpasses all others and who will wield the influence for evil."
Iam "Exactly! The Anti-Christ! Right!? So it's not 'terror management' it is this deeply religious fear of the second coming of the ultimate evil. Or King Herod. He who wields influence against Christ."

Really good joke or humour, especially in the sense of unintentional hilarity. Comedy gold is or is worthy to be a classic.
I heard something today that was comedy gold: "I had lunch with several international students here; one German, an American and two from Nepal, and they were so typical: The European guy talked about culture, the guys from Nepal talked about religion, and the American was eating".

At ~40m 55s in Season 1 Episode "Are We Guilty of Stealing YouTube Content" of the All In Podcast: Co-host Crayator jokes, "I'm a talker, not a setter-upper, unless I want to paint a wall and do some carpeting." This is a reference to the bit (discussion) at the beginning of the podcast where co-host Loserfruit joked that she had not believed Crayator had done the painting in his new office.
Crayator then coined the term, "Roundabout Comedy."

1. A comedy having gloomy or disturbing elements, especially one in which a character suffers an irreparable loss.
2. A comedy characterized by morbid or grimly satiric humor.
see Gallows Humor
A good example of dark comedy is the series "Dead Like Me", a show with grim reapers and afterlife themes.

Comedy in which humor is derived more from the stupidity of characters than from an origiinal storyline or situation.
I prefer the original character of Ace Ventura over any characters played by Adam Sandler or David Spade in their doofus comedy films.

When your partner (preferrably a woman) gives you a handjob during a crowded comedy show. A long shirt is recommended.

A Guide to Ranking Your Internet Comedy
In the digital jungle of memes and jokes, we need to establish a definitive hierarchy of comedic expression. Gone are the days of simple "LOL" or "LMAO" - we're taking you to new heights of laugh-induced altitude sickness. Starting at Level 1, we have the humble "LOL" – a giggle that barely makes a sound, like a silent but slightly amused ninja. Level 2 brings you "LMAO" - the kind of laugh that's strong enough to detach your derriere, but it's still not the ultimate chuckle.
As we ascend the mountain of mirth, Level 3 presents us with "LMFAO" - a riotous laugh that has your posterior not only detached but also flailing around the room. The penultimate peak, Level 4, boasts "ROFL" - you're rolling on the floor like a freshly baked pizza dough, with tears of laughter streaming down your cheeks. Finally, the summit of hilarity, Level 5 - "MFLOL", a transcendent experience of Me Freaking Laughing Out Loud. It's the laughter that echoes through the cosmos, the kind that your neighbors complain about, but you just can't help it – you've reached the MFLOL zenith!
