Murphy's Law of YouTube Ads

"You can sit and watch a documentary-video on YouTube for extended periods with little or no advertisement-interruption, but then just as soon as you turn up da speaker-volume and go into da next room to take a dump, a whole bunch of ads will come along and you'll hafta endure listening mostly to them while yer poopin', rather than da video-commentary you'd wanted to hear.
Due in large part to da pesky "Murphy's Law of YouTube Ads", a few more-affluent citizens who live alone actually hire a full-or-part-time "Jeeves" for da sole purpose of being an ad-skip assistant.

Matrix's law

The Matrix's law works in the same way than godwin's law. Whenever an online discussion about artificial intelligence progresses, it becomes inevitable that someone or something will eventually be compared to Terminator or any movie with an evil AI.
"Have you seen the last progress of Google's deepmind ?"

"Yeah, we're one step closer from an AI revolution"

"Ah yes, the Matrix's law"

Tumblr's Law

A scientific term. Tumblr's Law states that when a Tumblr user directly mentions or implies that a joke is funny, the joke is no longer funny. This can be commonly done through saying that a meme is hilarious, but can also be completed through such an action as laughing.

When a Tumblr User (commonly self-identified by a person with an active Tumblr account) laughs at something that could be considered humorous, every living being within a 5 mile radius instantly stops feeling joy for a short time. After this event, the joke is no longer funny, and it can no longer be referenced.

The only potential Tumblr Users then have for humor is in creating jokes, but hopefully it is not attempted on Tumblr.
(doge meme)
Tumblr User: this is so funny I have been laughing for 30 minutes and crying and shitting my pants.
Intelligent person: You just enabled Tumblr's Law on Doge, wtf??
