It's hard to think back to a time before memes, I know, but it did exist. This meant that we had to find our humor in ways that didn't involve silly little internet pictures. That's right, we actually had to exercise our wit and our memory to share good old-fashioned jokes with other people.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that conventional joke telling has died out, but it's definitely under some threat. As we all become more hopelessly overstimulated and online, it's a good idea to preserve our grip on conventional humor with the art of decent jokes.

For this purpose, we need look no further than recent AskReddit thread. Requesting that people share their go-to jokes, there's a range of bangers here. A joke collection is a fine thing to have, and this is the perfect starter resource. There aren't too many knock knock puns involved, either.
