I feel people are losing their sense of humor

Is it normal to feel this way? I feel less and less people have a sense of humor anymore. What ever happened to puns, what ever happened to dark humor. I mean it just seems the kids everywhere at my high school are so serious and judge mental. Is it me or does anyone else feel the people everywhere are losing their humor. Try saying a joke and my school and people will ignore you, totally take it seriously and quite frankly I can't get along with people who have no sense of humor which are quit a lot of people.

    Political correctness happened around 20 years ago and people are being born into it now rather than just indoctrinated.

    Puns and dark humour aren't the best examples. Dark humour has never been mainstream comedy, and puns have always been cringe-inducing for a lot of people. Comedy has trends, and you can't expect to get a lot of laughs if you don't follow them.

    Make friends with the people you have most fun with.

    I have to agree 100%. I think even on here, many are just up-tight pricks.
    Sometimes I will respond to particularly ridiculous posts with something so far off the wall that only a total moron could possibly take it seriously, and yet half the responses will lambast me and most others will just not catch on, giving serious responses.
    For instance, yesterday someone posted the most ridiculous post about African Americans. How ANYBODY could have taken it seriously is way beyond me, but many did and I think it got deleted. It was so stupid and silly; it was obviously meant to be funny. Anyway, I thought it was funny, and y'all know I'm not a bigot.

      Why are you being PC? Only PC people say African American. Why not say black? Hell you're so old you probably grew up with Colored or negro.

        It's ok to refer to someone as white but don't dare say black
        PC out of control

        I resent that remark! I HATE PC with a passion. I am only referring to a post; they are not MY words.
        I do not believe there is any such thing as an "African American" any more than I do not believe I am a "native American", which I am, being born here and all. Why can't we all just be Americans, in a melting pot, as intended? Sorry, please do not get me started on PC, grrrrrrr

          Telling how you still refer to America as "here." I thought you were in a tropical paradise? You broke character.

            I am and probably will always be an American, at heart. No matter how broken she may be she is the place of my birth.
            In actuality, when asked where we are from, both my wife and I say "Our boat" as we are nearly stateless people in reality.

              I think calling a piece of driftwood your wife is a bit of a stretch. Even if you put a wig and lipstick on it.

    It's because of Political Correctness.

    What's funny is subjective. There's an Aussie comic who is doing well (apparently) in the US who I find about as funny as animal cruelty. But clearly, lots of people like his shit. I mean, material.
