 <html>I wonder why simple dumb jokes get around more often? I just hate the idea that it is dumb simple people that some how conglomerate the plurality of the world that spread them. I find the idea rather cynical myself.&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if it has less to do with &amp;quot;Everyone around me is stupid and simple minded, liking these LESS REFINED MEMES&amp;quot; and more to do with a certain incongruity that more people can understand. &lt;br /&gt;I mean, everyone understands a fart joke, so by that, if you make a fart joke, everyone is accessible. In the opposite vein of &amp;quot;There are 10 types of people in the words, those who know hex and F the rest&amp;quot; which is a joke abut Hexadecimal counting and NCIS. That jokes only pertains to those who know one or both of those things. &lt;br /&gt;It has less likely hood of making someone who doesn't understand it laugh. &lt;br /&gt;I think dumb jokes are successful not because people are dumb, but rather, everyone understands dumb as itself.</html>
