Facebook Funnies

The rise in popularity of Facebook has had numerous results, some negative and some positive. Now that everyone from your teenage daughter to your senior citizen father to the guy at the hardware store has a profile, you end up knowing some details about their lives that you might not wish you'd discovered! Of course, Facebook also catches us up with those we've unfortunately lost touch with. Because of the highly social and informal nature of the social networking site, it's no wonder that jokes about Facebook are growing in number. Here are a few types of these jokes listed and discussed. You might even find a new joke to post as your status!

Addiction Jokes

One highly popular subset of Facebook jokes is that category concerning how to tell if one is addicted to the site or not. Usually, there's a list of signs, many of them drawn from users' real experiences. Whether the conversation happens via wall posts or a group, people love to add in their own ways to tell if someone's addicted to using Facebook. While some of these are more serious (you check your profile and news feed more than once an hour), others are more absurd (you visit sites that list ways to determine if you're addicted to Facebook).

Status Laughs

Let's face it-the status message can be used for all manners of things. Though sometimes oversharing of information is unintentionally hilarious, a lot of status messages are intentionally devoted to jokes. Furthermore, a large percentage of those are gags about Facebook itself. Humorous statuses are often the most popular, and since everyone's already in on this social site, poking a bit of fun at it makes for a good time for all. One highly popular status joke about Facebook is when a user claims that he or she wishes to start a new profile under the name "Nobody." Then, when another person writes something that isn't exactly intelligent or nice, the original user can like the posting. That way, Facebook proclaims that Nobody likes this.

Off The Web Jests

Even though it may seem that we're all online all the time now, the truth is that we still have lives offline. That being said, even late night comedians are making jokes about Facebook. For example, Jimmy Fallon once remarked that he'd heard that Facebook was developing a new cell phone. He claimed that it was pretty good, but it only allowed a user to call people he or she barely remembered from high school. Even to the famous, Facebook is an experience most of us share, so naturally they'll mine it for laughs!

How The Share Button Made Facebook Annoying

Facebook used to be a lot less cluttered.

At least, that was before the invention of the "share" button.

As a result of that one little link now underneath every post, my wall has become nothing more than a confusing mess of useless clichés and talking animal posters.

How are we, as intelligent people, to deal with this injustice? We make fun of them, of course!

Case in point, one particular Facebook poster I saw today said this:

"Some people come into your life as Blessings!! Others come in your life AS LESSONS!"

On the surface, this sounds perfectly acceptable. That is, if you believe the Universe somehow made you pick some of the morons you've had relationships with because you needed to learn something. Please understand that, if this is case, you do not have free will.

And hopefully you also realize that most "lessons" people think they learn are always self-serving. If our partner was unfaithful, no one says it was meant to be so they could learn to be forgiving. It would, instead, be to teach you to be less gullible, more careful, or something like that.

The problem with blessings and lessons is you never know which category any particular experience falls into. It's basically up to your interpretation. It all depends on how you look at it.

The fact that the Universe made you get involved with an abusive spouse (and it DID make you if you believe in this concept) means it was for a good reason.

Really? Getting smacked around by some cowardly moron whose mommy didn't hug him as a child has meaning? I know people would like to think it does. It makes us feel much better about the terrible things that happen to us.

What is the purpose of learning these lessons anyway? You're only on this Earth for a short period of time. Is this going to help you in the afterlife?

That's just it! You don't know which is why this particular saying is so stoopid.

These little maxims only really serve one purpose. They help us gloss over the bad things that happen to us by letting us pretend there is some higher purpose we don't understand.

That's all very poetic, but unfortunately can't be proven.

I think we need to stop boiling our lives down into little Facebook posters. Doing so just makes you a target for being made fun of.

Humans are Stoopid publishes articles about a variety of controversial topics, speaking out in ways most people wish they could. Categories include women, Facebok, buzz (news), beliefs, health, and others. If you're searching for a funny blog to make you laugh, come visit us!

Facebook Users We Like To Avoid

The "Update Bore-aholic""I'm waking up." "I had tofu pancakes for breakfast." "I'm so bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic, and need a drink."
Holy crap, how fascinating your posts and updates are (not). Nothing is too mundane for this type of user to broadcast every single action that happens on a whim. People, just because you have nothing better to do with your time than to broadcast your every single move with the thought that it was the next terrific thing to happen to you - try reading a book, or better yet, get a hobby that doesn't include using anything electronic.
The "Self-Promoter"
OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement in our lives. Sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about Argentinian ant farming. But when almost every update is a link to your blog, your lyrics listings, or your drab art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist, which is a real turn-off.
The "Friend" horde
The average Facebook / Twitter user has about 120 friends on the site. The social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make life-long pals on the downtown bus -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But to have over 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're The Pope or just won the lottery, no one has that many friends. That's just showing off, and it shows how shallow you are to the world that you would accept anyone that requests a friend or Follower.
The Town Crier
"Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first!
Me, and the 213,000 gazillion other people who all saw it on CNN. These users are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. Users such as this are why Snopes.com is doing so well.
The TMIer
"Chad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for my pesky hemorrhoids."
The boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information up daters, who offer up every personal detail about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing, time to drop you now, perhaps block you too.
The Really Bad Grammarian
"So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippeeee".
Yes, I realize that the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. That doesn't make it correct. No one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm, but you sound like a friggin' moron and you don't care one tinker's cuss what you say even if we can't understand what you posted because you probably don't either. Your family always "likes" your broadcast, so you don't get upset.
The Sympathy-Baiter
"Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now."
Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention. You keep a box of kleenex next to your laptop, don't you.
The Stalk-Lurker
The true "Peeping Toms of Facebook", these users are too cautious, or maybe too lazy (most likely too drunk), to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's really a little creepy, actually, very creepy.
The "Face-Cranks"
"Jose isn't really that impressed with those idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are."
These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in several blog comments, never seem to run out of things they couldn't complain about. Just keep spreading the love...
The Paparazzo
Have you ever visited your Facebook page to find that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your wife why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister at an office party. Avoid these users like the PLAGUE.
The Obscurist
"If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Peter is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not. And I don't wish this for the world."
I'm sorry, you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical - now shut the hell up! Oh, wait here's a button for that...
The Chronic Inviter
"Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? I sent you a heart! Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you? Which Smurf are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop! I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends?
Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.
