speaking of humor

Sometimes, I feel like good humor is hard to find. It seems that most modern approaches at being funny are "mashups" (there's that word again!) of former movie jokes and catch phrases. How many people out there are still quoting phrases from Ace Ventura or Wayne's World? I catch myself doing it sometimes, too. Initially it's pretty funny, but after a certain amount of time you start feeling a bit like a lemming or a copycat.

Could it be that there is little creative humor left in this world that is truly original? Sure, there are new events that we can make fun of, and make jokes about, but aren't we still using half-cocked word play that has already been used a million times over in movies and by stand-up comedians? It all gets old after a while.

Like I said, good humor is hard to find.
