visual humor is the future

In my last post, I mentioned how verbal humor seems to be getting stale. Sure, there are tons of stand-up comedians, but everything seems to sound the same after a while. With the internet playing such a huge role in our lives, I expect that visual humor is quickly becoming our number one source of humor, with video soon climbing to the top of the spot.

As they say, A picture is worth a thousand words...

I like the fact that humor is often used to express discontent with our technologically-obsessed society. Isn't there a biting truth behind all of this?

His sense of humor reminds me a bit of the Far Side.
