If there's one type of humor that defines the youngest generation, it's absurd humor. Every young adult I know is obsessed with the sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave far more than they're invested in Saturday Night Live. Absurd humor is also the dominant sense of humor for popular memes too. I think it's because absurdist memes appeal to a much larger demographic than edgy humor or humor that appeals to a specific demographic. 

Some types of absurdist humor age worse than others. For instance, about ten years ago, it was undeniably popular to talk about how much you love pizza and bacon all the time. After the diet-crazed culture of the 2000s came and went, embracing that you loved food through memes and humor became a joyful act. As time has passed, proclamations like these have been characterized as "cringe" and "old hat," but absurd memes will live on far beyond Jennifer Lawrence pizza memes.

    Vertebrate - prokopetz Whether you're writing for a video game or a tabletop game, the secret to effective lore is cow tools. Back in 1982, Gary Larson drew the following panel for the newspaper comic The Far Side: 1962 Cow tools Larson According to Larson, it was simply meant to be a faintly surreal joke about how cows would be bad at making tools; it intends no deeper commentary. However, in the decades since, it's become by far the comic's most asked- about panel. People want to know why cows
